Minister delivers comfort message
In Fellowship With God, the title
of the anthem sung by the senior
choir at Londesbotough United
Church on Sunday. May 1, fit nicely
with the theme of Rev. Pat Cook's
message that morning. Comfort and
Assurance.
During her time with the children.
Rev. Pat told the story of an old dog
and a stray kitten. When the kitten
wandered into the farm, the old dog
was patient and loving with it. In
time the cat responded to the dog’s
attention.
Rev. Pat pointed out to the boys
and girls that they, too. need to be
examples of God’s love to all the
people in their lives. As God is
patient with them, they need to show
loving patience to others.
In Psalm 66. the psalmist gave
thanks for a mighty God that had
always shown love and mercy to
him. In the gospel reading, John 14:
15-21 Jesus offered assurance to the
disciples that God would always be
there to guide them and that they
should share His love with others.
Christians can find assurance that
they are not alone on their journey
through life, as the comforter of
God, the Holy Spirit, is watching
over them. Jesus wanted His
followers first of all, to love God as
He loved them and to love others as
themselves. By living God’s love
with others, they would/will
experience God’s love more deeply.
The best gift one can give another
is to listen with love and caring as
they share their problems and to
recognize their presence in their
midst in spite of differences.
Rev. Cook asked the congregants
to be good disciples outside the
church walls. She concluded by
asking. “Do you project God's love
in your daily living?”
Ben Driscoll gave a summary of
the work with the Foodgrains Bank
with which Londesborough United
is involved each summer. He
reminded everyone that soon the
2005 project will need volunteers
and machinery to plant the crop.
Moreover, he stated that two late
bills for the 2004 project need to be
paid. He was suggesting
congregants consider donating
financially in the coming weeks to
April busy month at HCPS
this important outreach project.
The sacrament of baptism will be
a part of the service on May 8,
Christian Family Sunday.
Youths in Grades 6-8 are invited

I don’t know what your life has
bee like during the month of April,
but it seems that when that calendar
page turned, everything went into
high gear with more to do, more
places to be and more details to be
thought about.

the week of April 18-22, wasn’t a
hardships for who had time to watch
them anyway? Life at Hullett
Central School seems to reflect that
as well.
A science fair at the end of March
was followed by a most successful
community fun night and just a few
days later, the spring concert.
Another day, the Legion came to do
child videos and grad photos was
taken on April 5.
A spokesperson for the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority gave
a presentation on safety to pupils in
kindergarten through Grade 4 and
Paul Steckle visited Grade 8 last
Friday.
Some monies received from the
Weston Foundation award were used
to bring two authors to the school for
student enrichment. On April 22
Adwoa Badoe shared stories based
on African myths and tales with the
children. Adwoa’s husband played
drums to add authentic interest to
her presentation.
On Tuesday, April 26, Canadian
author Ted Staunton visited Hullett
Central Public School.
Staunton has been writing books
for both children and adults since
1983. His first publication was
Pubbleman, which he chose to use
with the primary students. Staunton
came equipped with a giant peanut
butter sandwich to help him tell the
story.
When talking to the older
students, Staunton told the students
that the hardest part of writing a
story is getting started. It takes him a
long time to write the first chapter of
any of his chapter books.
He also explained to the students
that he does many revisions to each
story. Getting an idea for a story
comes from watching the world
around you. Listening to stories that
other people tell you, can help you
come up with a story to write about.
Many laughs were coming from
the gym, as Staunton presented to
the students. It was a great
afternoon. The students will be able
to continue to read his books, as
some of his novels were purchased
for the library.
This week, May 2 - 5, drop by the
school for this year’s book fair. It’s a
good opportunity to add to your
family’s library or to pick up gifts.

It’s amazing that some villagers
didn’t experience a power outage
Sunday morning. A transport truck
making a right-hand turn to the

pole next to the post office.
The driver may not have
realized what had happened as it
was the back corner of the trailer
that came in contact with the
pole.

Hullett staff and students
honoured all those folk who
volunteer hours on their behalf every
year on April 22. These people share
their time and talents to make
Hullett school a great place to work
and learn.
A break from their usual noon
time routine was given to the
teachers by these volunteers on April
27. A luncheon was served to the
teachers by some, while others did
ball and playground duties.

OPP identify human remains:
investigate as homicide
Human OPP officers continue to
investigate the discovery of human
remains in South Huron and are
treating the discovery as a homicide.
On Tuesday, April 26, officers
from Huron OPP, acting on
information, searched a bushlot off
of Park Road between McTaggart
Line and Elimville Line in the
Usborne Ward of South Huron,
southeast of Exeter. The search
resulted in the discovery of human
remains.
On Wednesday, April 27,
following an examination of the area
by officers of the Western Region
Forensic Identification Unit and
Emergency Response Team, the
remains were moved to London
Health Sciences Centre.
A post mortem examination was
conducted April 29 and the remains
were positively identified as those of
Ronald Roy Sullivan. 42, of London.
Sullivan was reported missing to the
London Police Service in October
2004.
The exact cause of death is not
being released at this time for
investigative reason. However, the
post mortem examination found
injuries to the body that are
suspicious in nature.
The Huron OPP are continuing
their investigation into this homicide
with the assistance of the London
Police Service under the direction of
Detective Inspector Ian Maule of the
OPP Criminal Investigation Branch.
Anyone with information
