The Trillium Foundation donated $20,000 toward the cost of the new equipment, while Central Huron contributed $2,000 and the Londesboro Angels, a ladies' slo-pitch team, ran a tournament that raised $1,161 for the cause. The Hullett Athletic Association (HAA) raised $8,910 of its own to cover the rest of the cost. The total cost of the equipment was about $32,071. Says Doug Dolmage of the HAA, "The old equipment was needing repairs, and it was outdated. It had been here approximately 30 years..." Although the new equipment sits on grounds owned by the school, Dolmage says it will be available for use by anyone in the community. The equipment is shielded from the sun by a large yellow canopy, which also provides protection from foul balls which may fly over the backstop at the ball diamond during games. That canopy, says Dolmage, is an asset, "Especially when there's ball tournaments here all day long. Some kids are here almost all day long so it really does save them a lot from the sun." Kathleen Pletsch, chairwoman of the Local Grant Review Team of the Ben Forrest photo A number of local dignitaries and community members were present to christen Hullett Central Public School's new $32,000 playground equipment on June 27 in Londesboro. Pictured in front from left to right are Huron -Bruce MP Paul Steckle, Al Bosman of the Londesboro Lions Club, Huron -Bruce MPP Carol Mitchell, Keith Allen and Ron Nesbitt (in wheelchair), also of the Lions Club, Karen and Doug Dolmage of the Hullett Athletic Association, Central Huron councillor Marg Anderson, Kathleen Pletsch (Chair of the Local Grant Review Team of the Ontario Trillium Foundation for Grey -Bruce -Huron - Perth) and Central Huron Facilities Manager Steve Campbell. In back are a group of Hullett Central students. Ontario Trillium Foundation for Grey -Bruce -Huron -Perth, said the Foundation decided the grant given here was appropriate because the project is in line with its mandate. "What we always say is our mandate is to help our communities become healthier and stronger, and more vibrant," she says, "and this is a perfect example of that." Pletsch seemed happy with the finished product, saying the equipment is "wonderful." "I taught here (at Hullett Central) for 12 years, so this community is dear to my heart, and I love it ... You know how many kids will be using it — (at) baseball games, after school, whenever. It's great." Huron -Bruce MP Paul Steckle and MPP Carol Mitchell were both on hand on July 27 for the equipment's official opening, and shared similar sentiments. Said Mitchell, "I think the equipment is wonderful," adding later that "This is a very vibrant community, and they've done very well. Playground equipment is very expensive now." Steckle, who said he was home from Ottawa to see his grandson graduate public school, concurred. "I think it's wonderful," he said. "It's sort of following the theme of most communities where they've had to upgrade because the old equipment (was) deemed unsafe."

Love Mom & Dad, Andrea, Laura & Geoff instead, money going to criminal organizations running Internet cheque scams. Huron OPP Sr. Const. Don Shropshall is warning anybody selling anything on the Internet to he vigilant. He said thieves will find an Internet advertisement and offer to buy it from the seller. The potential buyer, Shropshall added, may say they live in North America, but usually live in Africa or other less developed nations. "A lot of this will happen through e-mails," he said. The new buyer will then send a cheque for the item, but the cheque will be made out for more than the price. "The scammer will invent some excuse for this overpayment and ask that the balance he electronically transferred to a specified hank account," said Shropshall, adding the thieves may say the extra money is to pay a handler. "Once you have sent an electronic hank statement, anybody can cash it." This is exactly what the thieves do. "Later the seller finds out that his or her bank has dishonoured the original cheque," he said. "The seller has been bilked out of a substantial amount, with little chance of recovering the money. Also the item still remains unsold." Shropshall said the scam has happened in Goderich and he is "sure there are people doing it right now." The police do investigate cheque fraud, but unfortunately "by the time we're involved they're gone, and you are already out," Shropshall said. "it also takes time and money to conduct these investigations." Instead, he suggests anyone selling items in the Internet riot to accept overdrawn cheques. "Make sure they send the correct amount." If a seller does. they could he left with less money and the same beat -up old sofa. YOUR STAY, YOUR WAY Create your own getaway at Toronto's Entertainment Hotel.
