Principal Cathy Goetz at Hullett Cen- tral School noted that the school year is very quickly flying by. Fall sports, like cross country and soccer, have held their district competitions. It seems Hul- lett athletes represented their school admirably. Now the focus will be on volleyball and basketball - more indoor sports. Already the AMDSB is preparing for the future of their schools and this month they hold Kinder- garten registrations. Par- ents in the Hullett catch- ment area will register their children for JK for next Sep- tember on Friday, Novem- ber 18. During registration the children will have an opportunity to participate in age-appropriate activi- ties with the Kindergarten teachers. The school will host their next family movie night on December 1. This Friday pupils in JK thru Grade 6 will partici- pate in a Remembrance Day service at the school beginning at 10:00 a.m. Members of the com- munity are invited to join the staff and pupils for this service. Students in grades 7 and 8 will attend the Remembrance Day Service organized by the Blyth Legion. This year's service will be held at the Blyth and District Community Centre. If you are unable to attend a Remembrance Day Service this Friday, I urged you to pause what you are doing at the eleventh min- ute of the eleventh hour to remember and offer a prayer of thanks. Villagers need to offer support to Tom Jarrett cur- rently. He is home again following a triple by-pass heart surgery recently. Life should improve now his heart is happier. Long-time area residents were reminded by the Blyth Citizen last week of a cam- paign which affected hearts in the area thirty years ago. Have 30 years really passed since the Londesborough Lions Club raised monies in their "Back the Biter" campaign? Ron Nesbitt suf- fered a paralyzing swim- ming accident and the club and community folk raised money to purchase him a fully -equipped accessibility van. Ron has thanked the community for their help by being a very faithful and active Lion member ever since. LONDESBOROUGH UNITED CHURCH Prayer was the theme of the service at Londesbor- ough United Church on Sunday, November 6. Dur- ing the children's time at the front of the sanctuary, Rev. Fletcher talked with them about the five finger prayer. He remarked that the shortest finger, the thumb, was for praying for the people closest to you. People in their lives who teach them or give them information are next to be prayed for and are repre- sented by the 'pointy' fin- ger. The middle finger sug- gests praying for persons in power i.e. governments, etc. When the children think in their prayers about the fourth finger they should pray for the weakest and most vulnerable in society. Last of all, the little finger represents prayers for ones self, for we should ask God about our own problems last. Before the children went down to Sunday School they prayed together using the five finger plan. The message to the adults that morning was titled "Never Give Up" and never stop praying. Supporting scripture passages were Luke 11: 1-13 and Psalm 138. A quote by an unknown author also supported Ter- ry's theme: "When the world says 'give up; hope whispers, 'try it one more time:" During World War 1, Churchill saw his country on the brink of disaster many times. In one speech he admonished his country to 'never give in to anything except to the conviction of honour and good sense. And eventually victory came to Britain and the allies. Although we may wonder how God can have time for each of us and our concerns, God's ways are not human ways, and He is always ready to give His help in the form of the Holy Spirit. Everyone who prays for His help will receive that help eventually. It may be necessary to ask for that help more than once. For we cannot know just how the Holy Spirit will move in our lives. The Spirit is there for reassurance, peace and freedom from care and despair. Rev. Fletcher urged con- gregants to trust in God and His Holy Spirit - to keep praying and never give up. Kerrie Grant was respon- sible for the ministry of music. The mitten tree is up and ready to receive knitted items for the Christmas Bureau. Next Sunday Rev Fletcher will conduct a Remem- brance Day Service during the morning worship. The Official Board of Londesborough United will meet on Tuesday, November 29 beginning at 7:30 p.m. " 'dPlease Vilsit www.sraIlin seafort.h.rarrl TO V1 IOW All Our ltsirlOs Wednesday, November 9, 2016 • News Record 19 Radars sweep weekend games IDn last Friday night, November 4, the Clinton Radars travelled to Shallow Lake to take on the Shallow Lake Crushers. Both teams played undisciplined hockey in the contest as there were 90 minutes in penalties called. However the outcome went in the Radars favour as they crushed the Crushers 7-1. Clinton goalie Mark Nother played an excellent game between the pipes as he turned away 45 shots. He lost his shutout bid with less than 3 minutes left in the battle. The Radars grabbed a 1-0 lead in the opening stanza at 9:47 when high -flying centre Kurtis Bartliff lifted a rebound shot over the shoulders of the Crusher's goalie on a shot initially taken by Luke Vick. The Radars made it 2-0 at 11:42 when Ryan Watson dented the twine on a scramble in front of the Crusher's net. At 19:36 as the first period wound down and playing shorthanded, Justin Read 33 Main St., Seaforth 519.600.1577 Direct 519.272.5413 THE SIGN THAT SAYS SOLD 1 1 Joey's Corner Joe Livermore stole the pick from a Crush- er's defenseman just inside the blue line, skated in, and beat the goalie cleanly with a wrist shot high to the corner. In the middle period, the Radars upped their lead to 4-0 at 5:38 as Ryan Murphy scored a power play goal from behind the goal line. His shot snuck through the goalie's pads. Tyler Bryson and Stefan Salituro helped set up the goal. At 7:19, Justin Read scored his second goal of the game. Before the period had ended, Deryk Whitehead made it 6-0 as he slapped in a pass from Kurtis Bartliff just in front of the Crusher's net. In the final period, Luke Vick scored a highlight goal when he converted a three way -passing break with line mates Ryan Murphy and Taylor Gosset at 10:41. In was defenseman Tyler Gosset's third assist in the game as he played a very strong game on the Radar's blue line. Crusher's forward Adam Blundell spoiled Nother's shutout bid lite in the period. RADARS 6, RIPLEY 4 On Saturday, November 5, the Radars completed their weekend sweep in the north when they came back from a 2 goal differ- ence to score four unan- swered goals to defeat the Ripley Wolves 6-4. After making a goalie switch, the Radars bounced back after trailing 4-2 halfway through the second period. Layne Lavis started in goal for the Radras, and when the Wolves grabbed their fourth goal, Radar's coach Randy McClinchey replaced Lavis for Marc Nother. The move seemed to spark the Radars.
