'Share the road' brings new meaning
Brenda Radford
Special to the News Record
Been watching the Blue
Jays recently? They seem
headed for the post -season
this year. It's been a long
drought since the glory days
for the Jays back in the early
90s. The team's series with
the Yankees in New York last
weekend was interesting for
a number of reasons. We
hung out to the end of that
Saturday double header
which was necessary
because of a rainout on Fri-
day evening. Then the sec-
ond game of the day had a
lengthy rain delay.
This is a roundabout way
of getting to the expression
"taking/giving a rain -check"
which was initially a baseball
term. A "rain -check" was a
ticket entitling the holder to
watch another game if the
one for which the original
ticket was bought was rained
out.
This expression has been
absorbed into every day life
even in parts of the world
where baseball is not partic-
ularly familiar. It can suggest
a wish to accept an invitation
at a later date. Even grocery
stores issue rain -checks for
products not on the shelf as
advertised.
This week ponder on the
expression "putting the
kibosh on':
The Happy Gang Seniors
will meet for the first time
this fall on September 30.
Their potluck meal will begin
at 12:30 p.m. in the Sunday
school room at Londesbor-
ough United Church. There
will be musical entertain-
ment that afternoon.
At time of reporting Mar-
tin Wilts is home again,
happy to do his recovery
there with family visiting.
I had an experience
recently, which brought the
expression "share the road"
to mind. I continue to walk
as therapy for two new knees
and from house to village is
good exercise. One evening I
was walking on the shoulder
of the road with one foot on
the edge of the grass when I
was passed by a truck whose
passenger side wheels were
outside the white line. As
that half ton blew past me I
could only imagine how
much more surprised I'd
have been if it had been an
18 -wheeler or been on a
bicycle.
Congratulations from vil-
lagers are extended to Bev
and Helen Wallace who cel-
ebrated 60 years of marriage
on September 5 at the
Londesborough Community
Hall. This past September 12
Bert and Linda Renkema
used the hall to celebrate
their 40th wedding anniver-
sary. Congratulations to the
Remkemas as well.
And aren't we lucky to
have such a suitable and
cosy facility in our
community.
Looking for something
new in the kitchen? Thinking
of spicing things up a little?
Angela Horbanuik/Kerr, who
lives in the former Les Reid
home, believes she can help.
Angela is an Epicure con-
sultant. She invites
community folk to a "soup
and sauce making day" on
September 26.
Angela's plan is to lead
cooks through healthy, clean
eating ideas for fall specifi-
cally using Epicure products.
Her list of foods that may be
made that day include spicy
squash, French onion,
chicken tortilla soups and
easy coconut curry sauce.
For more information about
the event call Angela at 519-
440-9611. The cooking hap-
pens at the United Church
from 9:30 a.m. to noon.
Although I am a summer
lover, this past week I redis-
covered two neat things
about fall. The start of the
school year is compensated
by the wonderful sounds of
children at play from the
schoolyard. And it was great
to shut off the AC and open
the windows again. The
night sounds are comforting
as one drops off to sleep.

Church on September 13
with a goodly number of
children in attendance. Dur-
ing the children's time at the
front of the sanctuary with
Rev. Fletcher school was dis-
cussed. Terry assured the
boys and girls that Jesus did
indeed attend school.
Jesus and boys of His time
went each day to the syna-
gogue and learned the laws
of their Jewish religion from
their teacher, the Rabbi,
along with reading and writ-
ing and math. In the after-
noons the boys worked
alongside their parents. The
girls stayed home and
learned how to manage a
home according to the rules
of their religion. Terry
showed the children an art-
ist's picture of school in
Christ's time form the book
Jesus and His Times.
Rev. Fletcher welcomed
the children back to Sunday
school and church where
they will learn more about
God.
The senior choir were
back in the choir loft this
Sunday as well and offered a
bouncy number, Gonna
Build a Mountain, which
featured solo parts by Mark
Mitchell.
"The Best of All Possible
Worlds" was the title of the
message to the adults on
what Rev. Fletcher called
Planet Earth Sunday. Sup-
porting scripture passages
were Genesis 1:1 - 2:4 and
John 1:1-14. The Responsive
Psalm was Psalm 33.
Thanks to modern tech-
nology the world has had a
look at and learned reams
about the wonders of space
and our solar system. These
new discoveries have de-
bunked the idea of life on
other planets. We are alone!
Our earth is unique/special!
There is no probability that a
second world such as ours
exists. This was the theme of
Rev. Fletcher's message.
Earth was a gift of God to
us; a unique home. Terry
recited for congregants a
long list of scientific facts
that showed how everything
about our home is "just
right" to support our life. The
world rotates just perfectly;
oxygen in the atmosphere is
at the perfect level; water
and weather are proportion-
ately in sync, etc. Our earth
is a delicate balance of inte-
gration of elements that is
virtually impossible to
duplicate
This earth was created
entirely for us and we must
never forget God's
graciousness.
I'm drowning on the inside.

"I have cystic fibrosis but it makes me no different from anyone else. I have dreams and I, too, want
to live. What bothers me most about this disease is taking 50 pills a day and having to stop playing
to take care of myself. When I grow up, I want to be a nurse and help sick people. Thank you for
helping people with cystic fibrosis." Florence^
Cystic fibrosis is a fatal disease that fills the lungs with fluid,
making every breath a struggle. Donors like you are the lifeline
Florence needs, and the reason people with cystic fibrosis are
living longer. Learn more and support cystic fibrosis research.
