By H. Davis
SAINTSBURY CORRESPONDENT
SAINTSBURY - On March 17, 1954, 50 years ago a
young Scottish lass Margaret Bertram left
Aberdeenshire, Scotland, her mother and SAINTSB
dad, two brothers and four sisters to begin
a new life in Canada. Landing in Montreal along with
her girl friend, Margaret was nanny for a doctor and
family for two years prior to moving to Exeter where
her grandparents Peter and Mary Bertram resided
along with several relatives also in the area. Margaret
enrolled in the N.A. Program at the Exeter Hospital
under the teaching of Mrs. Learn, and worked there
several years prior to meeting her future husband
Ronald Carroll. Ron and Margaret were married April
12, 1958 at St. Patrick's Church Saintsbury where they
have been faithful members; they continue to live at RR
1 Centralia, Ron's boyhood home. They have two chil-
dren Ian and Brenda and three grandchildren,
Matthew, Mitchell and Michelle Iredale. Margaret and
her family have been fortunate to visit Scotland several
times through the years. We all feel very honoured and
blessed having Margaret in our community as friend
and neighbour. Happy St. Patrick's Day, Margaret.
Mitchell Iredale had a wonderful experience during
the winter break when he accompanied a bus load of
baseball players to North and South Carolina for several
games against a number of high schools, winning 4 out
of 5 games. Mitchell is now a member of the London
Badgers. Congratulations Mitchell from all your friends
and relatives from St. Patrick's. Terry, Brenda, Matthew
and Michelle Iredale also enjoyed a vacation to take in
the ball games in Carolina.
The Carrolls were Sunday evening dinner guests with
the Iredales to hear about the holidays and to talk base-
ball, of course. Caleb and Corbin MacGillivray returned
home Saturday evening after a fun -filled week at New
Liskeard.
Hazel Davis returned to her home on Thursday follow-
ing surgery at St. Joseph's Hospital on
BAY NEWS St. Patrick's Day. (Note: I am feeling
great thanks to all my friends and fami-
ly who continue to call and check on me. Love you all).
The Davis's, Michael, Suzanne, Travis and Starr,
enjoyed another family day out Saturday ending the
winter break prior to back to school on Monday. Travis
visited with his cousin Evan Foran on Sunday and Starr
had spent time with her sister and brother-in-law
Crystal and Bryan in Exeter.
Several McFalls relatives attended a family shower
honouring cousin Sharrie Cuthbert of London on
Sunday whose wedding to Chris Hennesey will take
place in April. Sharrie is the great-granddaughter of the
late Rose and Art McFalls.
Visitors with the Davis's this week were a number of
Davis and MacGillivray family members, Ralph, Joyce
and Darren Simpson and longtime friend Ethel Atkinson
of London and Rev. Stanley and Mrs. Liz Jay of Mitchell.
Evening prayer service at St. Patrick's is at 6:30 p.m.,
March 27. Palm Sunday as St. Patrick's celebrate a spe-
cial service Rev. Jay and our guest the Venerable John
Spencer. A time of fellowship and refreshments to fol-

Man receives 30 months
for home invasion
SOUTH HURON — A Gloucester man received a 30
month jail sentence and a 10 -year prohibition on own-
ing weapons in Goderich court March 15.
Jeremy Crawford, 22, pled guilty to break, enter and
committing an indictable offence, assault with a
weapon, use of a disguise, cruelty to animals and
breaching probation for his involvement in a home
invasion in South Huron July 27, 2003.
Huron OPP officers learned a young couple arrived
home late in the evening and decided to stay up and
watch some television. Shortly after midnight two men
forced their way into the home through a door and
attacked the couple and their dog with baseball bats.
The couple fled to different sections of the house lock-
ing themselves into other rooms. The two men banged
on doors for a little while before they left the home.
A search was conducted, but neither suspect was
found at the time.
Early this year officers received information on
Crawford, issued a warrant of arrest and attended
Ottawa for the arrest.
Huron OPP are continuing to search for the second
male suspect. If you have information call the Huron
OPP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Clean, safe
drinking water
is up to you.
If you serve your community, you have
a responsibility to serve your community
clean drinking water.
Everyone has a stake in clean drinking water. Our families and
friends; our clients and customers. Under Ontario's new Drinking
Water Systems Regulation, owners of drinking water systems now
must comply with strict water quality and operating standards.
If you own or operate a business or service facility of any kind that
serves the public and relies on its own source of water, then you are
affected by the regulation.
Mobile home parks, campgrounds, small hotels, gas stations and places
of worship are some of the establishments subject to the regulation.
So are children's camps, schools, hospitals and any social care facility.
In short, any place where the general public has access to a drinking
water system, such as a washroom, drinking water fountain or shower.
You are also subject to the new regulation if you own or operate
a system that supplies drinking water for a seasonal or permanent
community of six or more residences.
We all share the same water resource. Small drinking water systems
now join municipalities, industries and the agricultural community
in doing their part to protect the quality of Ontario's drinking water.
Find out what you need to do as a responsible
provider of clean, safe drinking water.
