THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MAY 11, 2006. PAGE 9.
The last of the Lions breakfasts
has been served up until fall.
Wayne and I saw a lOt of familiar
faces in the crowd. President Greg
Park as well as others were busy
from 5:30 a.m. getting things ready
for everyone to enjoy their famous
morning feast. The menu consisted
of eggs, sausage, homefries and toast
followed up with a stack, short or
tall, of pancakes and the finest maple
syrup Robinson's sugar bush has to
offer. It was sweet and tasty.
Granddaughter Myrah was with us
and she skipped everything but the
pancakes.
Thank you everyone.
Huron
East
discusses
skegways
By Carol Burns
Citizen staff
East Huron residents may soon
come face-to-face with skegways on
their sidewalks.
Skegways are a two-wheeled
electric mobility device, and at its
meeting on May 2, East Huron
council considered a request to
approve the devices on its sidewalks.
Councillor Mark Beaven had an
opportunity to try the skegway prior
to the council meeting.
"I found it extremely easy to
control," Beaven said, "and within
two seconds felt that it was safe to
operate."
Councillor Larry McGrath
suggested that since the skegway
may represent the only mode of
transportation for people who can
never get a drivers' license, it should
receive the same treatment as
scooters.
Despite several minutes of brisk
discussion, council was unable to
come to a final decision and directed
clerk administrator J. McLachlan to
check into London's by law that
permits people with disabilities to
ride on sidewalks and bike paths, as
well as potential insurance and
liability issues.
1. Butt out.
2. Work out.
Just two things you can do to
reduce your risk of cancer.
It was a great morning to be out
bargain hunting. The chilly wind
was enough to keep everyone-
moving. Some even bought jackets
at the village-wide yard sale to help
keep warm. From what I saw, it
seemed the village was swarming
with shoppers and sellers couldn't
have been happier at the amount of
families parti ipating.
Among those up and at it early
were the girls of the Seaforth
Marching Band, and a lot of parents.
Their tables were brimming with
great deals to raise money for a trip
to Calgary later this year. Good luck
girls.
I had a young gentleman pull up in
his car, roll his window down and
ask just what was Auburn
celebrating. Imagine wandering into
a route of rovers and treasures
littering the boulevards of what is
normally a quiet village and finding
all that careful chaos.
I explained the treasures and
directed him to the hall for his
breakfast. He was thrilled and no
doubt will be back.
The Auburn Horticulture Society
will be holdings its plant auction on
Monday, May 15.
The community centre will be
open early to take drop-offs and the
fun begins at 7 p.m. There is .no
cover charge to attend, however this
is as good a time as any for
membership dues to get stroked off
your list of things to do.
This year's auctioneer will once
again be Karen Redmond, who is
back by popular demand.
The Auburn Women's Institute
will be having a speaker from the
Lung Association on Thursday, May
18 at I p.m. This is a ROSE (Rural
Organization Sharing Education),
program for the WI and the general
public is encouraged to attend.
For more information call Erma
Cartwright at 526-7256.
Refreshments will be served.
A special evening of music was
enjoyed Sunday, April 30 at Huron
Chapel, as two choirs performed.
The Thames Valley Swiss choir,
wearing their traditional costumes
sang many songs in German as well
as English. The Men of Note also
presented many numbers to a large
crowd. To the delight of the
congregation, the two choirs decided
to join for a final number.
A love offering was taken for Zach
Wood and Anya Scott to help with
their expenses towards their mission
trip this summer. A time of

very popular.
