The village extends condo- lences to Murray Govier on the passing of his sister, Carol Gross of Blyth. Raymond and Hunter Garvey are excited to wel- come a new sister to their family. Parents Ryan and Janet Garvey are just trying to get enough sleep as the house- hold adjusts to the demands of a new baby. Congratula- tions! The Garvey family lives in the Armstrong house so that means one more pupil for Hullett Central. Villagers received word last week that a former minister of Londesborough United had passed away. Rev. Stan MacDonald ministered to this faith community from 1970 through 1979. He was a very well -loved pastor and many have kept in touch with him over the years. Following his years preaching in Hensall and Corunna, Rev. Stan retired to London. He was Minister Emeritus at Siloam United Church for many years and that is where his funeral was held on Saturday, Febru- ary 13. More than one minis- ter who followed Stan in the Londesborough pulpit have mentioned they felt his presence still. I experienced some diffi- culty purchasing Valentines for my grandchildren this year. Not just because they have gotten older, but because Valentine styles have changed. I guess change is inevitable in all areas of our lives. Since then I came across a little poem that speaks to that very thing titled "Special Valentines': "Valentines of long ago were trimmed with silk and lace, Or featured hearts of velvet in sentimental grace Styles and shapes may vary but Cupid's cards still say Their universal language the love lines of the day:' As we are still in the month of February, the month of love, I have chosen to give you background on another love song. One of the most recog- nized ballads in country music was penned by Dolly Parton nearly thirty-five years ago. It was not intended as a single recording but as a 'thank you' to Porter Wagoner. Porter recognized Dolly's potential when no one else seemed to be taking notice of her talent. He featured her on his syndicated TV show, The Porter Wagoner Show. Then the pair teamed up for several hit duets and with Wagoner's 1broii1pgL PHOTO CONTEST Win $250 for you plus $250 for a charity of your choice!

However in 1974, Dolly realized it was time for her to go out on her own. And the rest, as they say, is history. She did not want to hurt Wagoner by this choice and wanted to show him her appreciation for being her mentor. That thank you note/song she wrote for him was "I Will Always Love You': The song topped the charts for both Dolly and later pop singer, Whitney Houston. And I recall Dolly sang that song to Burt Reynolds in the movie "Best Little Whore House in Texas': In that case the song was intended as a love song. Hullett Central Public School and the SAC commit- tee are gearing up for their auction and carnival fund raiser. They invite anyone pre- pared to help to a meeting at the school on Monday, Febru- ary 29. If your family has not yet signed up for a photo session for the latest church directory, you might contact Laura Scott or Catherine Allen to book a time. Londesborough United will hold their annual meeting fol- lowing the morning service this Sunday, February 28. There will be a time for lunch between the service and the meeting so you are asked to bring along finger food to share. Plan to attend and help chart the course of church affairs for 2016. Londesborough United Church Concern about the weather and the condition of the roads obviously affected church attendance at Londesborough United Church on Sunday, February 14. The senior choir was present and sang the anthem, "Saving Grace" During the children's time at the front with Rev. Fletcher, the love shared/expressed on Valentine's Day through cards, flowers and gifts was discussed. Terry reminded the chil- dren that on more than one occasion when Jesus was on earth and in the company of others, God spoke and revealed to all His love for Jesus. Christians should remember God's example and express our love to those around us. We are special and precious to God and we need to share that love with the whole world. The message to the adults was titled, "Being Tempted': The supporting scripture was Luke 4: 1-13, the account of Christ's 40 days in the desert being tempted by the devil. The responsive psalm was Psalm 91. Temptation is a normal part of life. It is important to recognize it as such and learn to deal with it. Christ's humil- ity was tempted in the desert. He needed to confront who He was and where His life was headed. The Devil tempted Christ with power. Life tempts us with power, worldly goods, position, etc. x.7.11 inn ROYALLLFA E iiFc :TUTUT I e„ Heartland Really I Fred Lobb** Cell: 519.955.0012 NEW LISTING 31-343 Victoria St., Clinton $54,900 Call Rick or Fred MLS#730732 75 East St., Clinton $ 279,900 Call Fred or Rick MLS#794439 VINTAGE HOME & NEW GARAGE 96 Huron St., Clinton $ 234,900 Call Rick or Fred MLS#696849 Helping you is what we do.TM OFFICE 519-482-3400 1 Albert St., Clinton To view all our listings go to: www.rlpheartland.ca Rick �° ', Richard +' Sherry Lobb*** r� Lobb Sr.* kij McLaughlin* Cell: 519-525-1174 j ' •.
