Yes, I knew better. And I have no
explanation why I identified Art
Hunking of the Dashwood Quartet as
his brother. Obviously there was a
malfunction in a brain synapse. My

We made a quick trip to Montreal
this past weekend to support our
youngest son in a theatrical
endeavour. It occurred to me again
just how precious is the fertile
farmland of southern and
midwestem Ontario. Another farm
crisis which we need to be concerned
about is silently taking place, urban
sprawl.
How can we convince city
dwellers to build on the unproductive
areas of the province and leave our

Denim, hats, bolos and boots were
the order. of the day on Friday
evening, April 21 at Hullett Central
Public School. The School Advisory
Council called its fourth annual
community fun and silent auction
night a western hoedown and many
folk and children dressed
accordingly.
Some 250 people attended the
event which is designed to raise
funds to enhance education at
Hullett. There were activities for all
ages. Adults could bid on 280 items
donated to the silent auction and the
young folk had a silent auction of
their own so as to share in the fun.
Adults enjoyed the presentations
of the Carry on Cloggers and the
Clinton Wheelers and Dealers
square dance group, while Bugsy,
aka Brenda Empey, clowned around
with the children.
In other areas attendees could buy
used books, toys and baked goods or
their supper barbecued by members
of the Londesborough Lions Club.
Thanks were extended by SAC to
everyone who helped to make the
event such an overwhelming
success. The monies raised, $1,200.
will be used to purchase a new
laptop computer with a program to
aid the pupils with reading and
research. Updates to the athletic
equipment are another area needing
some of those funds.
The school council is proud to
introduce a new "volunteer award"
for a deserving graduating student.
Singing to a full house
It was standing room only the evening of April 19, as Kindergarten A sang Down By The
Station at Hullett Central Public School's spring fling concert. Principal Lois Tebbutt noted that
this was the second week in a row that Hullett Central parents had supported the school. (Carol

We hit nasty traffic coming across
the top of Toronto on the way home
on Sunday, stop and go for miles all
the way from east of the city to the
airport. Then as traffic started to flow
again, I looked up instead of straight
ahead.
There was our reward - a sun dog
to watch for miles. It struck me that
that rare , sight was something not
likely to be seen through the smog of
a mega-city.
