Home My WebLink AboutHuron Expositor, 2002-05-08, Page 5Correspondents Elston returns from youth volunteer conference in PEI St. Columban Several St. Columban ladies joined in the fun at the "Spring Fling" put on by the Catholic Women's League ladies of St. James Church. Mistress of Ceremonies, Miss Evelyn E. Nuff, a true "Southern Belle" introduced the various segments of entertainment including skits, clogging, piano, singing and a fashion show of "the most up-to-date fashions." An entertaining drama in song was enacted by Wes Brennan, Cynthia Nowak and Crystal Brennan. Elaine Vanden Hengel, president of the group, made a presentation to Lynn Devereaux for the "Run For Excellence." The St. Columban Parish Hall was filled to capacity, as were the parishioners, when the "chefs" used their barbecue skills to provide the excellent "bacon on a bun" and a social get together enjoyed by all after Mass last weekend. Jonathon Elston, son of Gary and Dianne Elston, has returned from a trip to Summerside, Prince Edward Island, where he and 300 other young people attended a conference for Youth Volunteers from all over Canada. This year has been named International Year of the Volunteer by the United Nations, and the National Volunteer Organization sponsored the conferences. Workshop topics included effectiing environmental change and adapting cross culturally. Jonathon himself is involved in the Red Cross organization and Amnesty International. He also serves as co-chair for a youth group, a group that works to lessen discrimination towards sexual minorities. Jonathon is a recent recipient of an Outstanding Youth Award. Ron and Mary Ryan have returned from a trip to Winnipeg where they visited with their son, Joe and Paula Ryan, Brent, Erin and Megan. They also visited the "Joe Malone Park" located in Winnipeg. This park is named after a former local resident, Joe Malone, brother of local area residents Jack Malone, Claire Murray and Sheila Dolmage. Joe Malone was quite involved as a sports coach for youth in Winnipeg. The park was dedicated in his honour after his death. The students at St. Columban School made a presentation called "Cafe Francais" for their parents this week, highlighting the contents of the French programs at the school. All classes were involved in the singing of French songs, reading French essays and serving French food. The students also enjoyed a "Hockey Day" where everyone wore their favorite hockey jersey. Some of the students wore face paint to match their jersey. Soccer season has started. The St. Columban Women's Soccer Team, Second Division, coached by Jason Dietz, tied the Scottish 1-1 in the season opener. The St. Columban goal was scored by Joanne Terpstra. The St. Columban Men's Soccer Team, London Second Division, held Tillsonburg to a 0-0 tie in their season opener. Bishop John Michael Sherlock, assisted by Father Pio Berochia, Father Dewan and Father Charbonneau, presided at Mass and confirmed 76 candidates from the parishes of St. Columban, St. Vincent de Paul and St. Patrick's in a ceremony at St. Patrick's Church in Dublin on May 1. A joint choir incorporating all three parishes, was directed by Caroline Simons, assisted by Charlene Delaney and Pam Ryan. Music was provided by organist and pianist, Brian Eckert, with Cathy Rops, Susan Christie and Carolyn Murray playing the guitars. The group of young people have spent much time in preparation for this day, including an in-home study project, a retreat day and community service. Kailyn By Mary C.
