Winners of the divi- sions and their topics are as follows: Primary - Mikayla Ainsley [Giant Donut], Rachel Wilts [Favourite Child], Alana Steward [Exchange Students]; Junior - Colby Dale [Bullying of Hockey Referees], Myra Caldwell [I Like Being a Kid], Bradley Hummel [Soybean]; Intermediate - Ella Saw - chuck [Why Do we Eat What We Eat], Travis Wilts [ Poop], Jaden Shortreed [Sugar]. Honourable mentions for their efforts in the classroom which brought them to the speak -off were Primary: Lau- ren Charron, Amber Shan- non, Eli Baxter and Madison Lee; Junior: Hailey Govier, Emily Mielhausen, Catherine Fielding, Darcie Brohman, Jil- lian Shortreed, Heidi Badley, Axeton Wright, Drew Wilts; Intermediate: Yea Fleet, Owen Whyte, Joy Pizzati. Winners will present their speech again in March at the next level. They will have time to prepare during March Break which starts on Friday, March 11. I realized just how much longer the sunlight is with each day when our supper was late one evening. I thought because of the sun- light I had plenty of time to get supper prepared only to realize I should have been watching the clock more closely. How nice it is to have that daylight longer. Then I realized that Daylight Sav- ings Time takes effect on Sunday, March 13. And although we are just three weeks away from the change of seasons, I can't help thinking we are not yet done with this winter that hasn't been. Can the spring really be warmer than usual as they are predicting with a winter that never really materialized? Another sign spring and warmer days are surely com- ing is notice of Minor Ball registration. Londesborough registration takes place on Thursday, March from 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturday, March 5 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Londesborough Township Shed. Londesborough United Church Those people who attended the morning service at Londesborough United Church on Sunday, February 28 got a special treat. Young violin student, Cassie Elliott, played before the service, dur- ing the receiving of the offer- ing and as congregants left the sanctuary. Well done, Cassie! Cassie was accompanied on the piano by her mom, Jenn Elliott. Passion fruit trees are native to southern climes.

One morning she was surprised to find a huge fruit on her tree. However when she cut into the fruit which looked so promising, it deflated and was rotten to the core. Similarly we make judgements about peo- ple from their outward appearance. But we need to get to know persons better in order to really know them, to decide if they should be our friend or not. Then Rev Fletcher asked the children what kind of fruit they were. He reminded them that they need to be God's good fruit. "Feeding for Growth" was the title of the message for the adults. Supporting scrip- ture passages were Proverbs 27: 18 and Luke 13: 6-9. Both focused on fig trees. The Luke passage spoke of ferti- lizing a tree which had never borne fruit. The responsive psalm was the familiar Psalm 23.
