Scientific On March 30, Hullett Central School held its science fair. Katelyn Roetcisoender and Heather Hulley (foreground) presented their first-place project. Whitney Hulley, back, checks out the projects on micro-organisms. Second-place winner was Janneke Barton with her project on Bubbles. Third place went to Caitlin Plant’s project Oil Spill Clean-Up (Photo submitted) Happy Gang learn about safe driving As the years go by we realize the things we always did as a matter of course such as cleaning the house, washing windows, gardening, mowing the lawn, etc. take far more effort. This aging thing creeps up on one. So, too, with driving. After a number of years the act of driving a car may seem to be second nature. But, advanced years bring other problems to safe travel. More traffic, wider roads, distractions, speed can be overwhelming to many. Recognizing this the Happy Gang Seniors of Londesborough invited Sr. Const. Don Shropshall of the Huron County OPP detachment to speak to them at their meeting at the Londesborough Community Hall on NOTICE FOR ROAD CLOSING THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF NORTH HURON It can be a surprise to see just what didn't get attended to before last fall’s first snowfall. Personally, I hate this dirty, grimy time of year. We missed the rain that was supposed to wash away some of that last week and settled for a freshening of snow. At least with snow that comes in April, we can be assured it won’t stay around long. Perhaps if coffee cups had a Wednesday, March 30. Vision problems, hearing loss, slower reaction time and less flexibility can make what was once a pleasure somewhat unsafe. During his interesting talk the officer gave the seniors a number of pointers for how to make their travel safer. Today’s seniors may have been driving for 30, 40 or 50 years and Sr. Const. Shropshall noted that much about driving and cars has changed in those years. His talk was also a review of rules of the road and driving etiquette. A question-and-answer period was most helpful to those in attendance for clarifying points which may have been causing some uncertainty on the road. It sounds like an afternoon “return for cash’’ like beer cans/bottles our landscape would be neater/cleaner. It was promising to see some buds poking through the mud andspotting some snowdrops. And the snowbirds are gradually making a reappearance in our midst. You may remember that the 2005 World Day of Prayer service which, people around the world attended the first Friday of March was prepared by the women of Poland. that would have benefitted all of us regardless of our age.

Huron OPP is investigating a crash that took place just off of Molesworth Line" in Huron East March 29 at approximately 10 p.m. An officer learned that people inside the Molesworth Lanes Bowling Alley heard a major racket outside. Some of the occupants exited the building to see a darker older model Oldsmobile Delta 88 or 98 collide with a garage door of a residence behind the bowling alley. The vehicle after smashing the garage door then reversed from the wreckage and struck a parked silver 2004 Nissan S25 left parked behind the bowling alley. The parked vehicle received damage to the front left driver’s side bumper and fender. The driver then fled south with a concerned citizen giving chase. The victim lost the vehicle in the area of Cardiff Road in Huron East, due to the dangerous driving done by the fleeing suspect. Huron OPP is asking for assistance.
