Home My WebLink AboutClinton News Record, 2016-09-14, Page 19Londesborough News Brenda Radford Special to the News Record School has resumed across the country. At Hullett Central, a reg- ular fall happening will take on a special note. Hul- lett Central will hold their annual Open House on Thursday, September 22. This year they will com- bine it with a 50th Anniver- sary Celebration for the school. Remember just how excited the area was when Londesborough became the choice for an amalga- mated school. That first semester in 1966 was a week later getting started as the building was not quite ready for occupancy. Education and the phys- ical building has changed in those 50 years. The public is invited to see those changes that even- ing beginning with a BBQ from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. fol- lowed by classroom tours from 5:30 to 6:30. An Anniversary ceremony and the opening of the "Friends of the Forest" Project is scheduled for 6:30. May have more details in next week's column. LONDESBOROUGH UNITED CHURCH Rev. Terry Fletcher suf- fered a heart attack just after Labour Day and con- sequently was absent from the pulpit at Londesbor- ough United Church on Sunday, September 11. Terry will need time to recuperate and con- gregants are asked to keep him in their thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks. Anyone in need of pastoral car should contact Rev. Gary Clark of Blyth. Ladies of the UCW con- ducted the morning ser- vice. The service was origi- nally written to be used in the spring and had a camp- ing theme. The children's time was handled by Lynda Horbanuik who asked the children what items they might need to go on a camping trip. Many responses followed - food, a tent/trailer, a map or compass, a camp stove, a light, etc. Lynda pointed out that God supplies us with these same things on our trip through life with Him - shelter, His map is the Bible, His light is Jesus who leads us on our way. Ann Adams read the scripture passages, Psalm 25 and Exodus 15: 5 to 25 which detailed the life of the Israelites in Egypt under the rule of the Pharaoh. Helen Lobb lead the many other aspects of the service and was the narra- tor for the drama that was the message. Titled "The Bitter Water Made Sweet, the drama dealt with aspects of the flight/plight of the Israelites from Egypt and into the desert. Robert Hunking took on the role of Moses and Laura Scott reprised the role Miriam whose tam- bourine thanks was ech- oed by the other women. The Israelites were being lead by Moses, the hand of God, into the unknown, not even sure of their destination. They experienced hopes inter- mingled with fear and concerns intermingled with dreams. Always they were encouraged to have faith in their God and His wisdom. In need of water at one point in their jour- ney they came to a water hole in which the water was tainted. Through Moses God turned that water sweet for them to drink. In today's world the United Church is charting a new course for their believers. The Holy Spirit will guide the leaders of the church and bring the faithful to a new life in God. Jenn Elliott shared her ministry of music for this service. Rev Sandra Cable will conduct the service on September 18th. This service will be held at the Ball's Chapel on the Base Line beginning at 10:30 a.m. Tickets must be pur- chased in advance for the smoked pork chop supper on September 24th. The UCW will meet on Monday evening, Septem- ber 19th, beginning at 7:30. There will be a guest speaker from the Huron County Food Bank Distribution. LAST WEEK'S COLUMN (Written on September 4) - When the emergency vehicles rushed into Londesborough late last Friday afternoon and I, fig- uratively, put on my press hat, I didn't need to go far. Overnight Thursday into Friday, the bridge work crew had put up new/addi- tional traffic cones. Perhaps they had become aware of traffic issues and made the change. At any rate, a van travelling south about five o'clock over corrected into the west lane and lost con- trol. It somehow flipped over going up the embank- ment and landed on its roof in the field. The driver was conscious and aware but had to be cut out of his vehicle. All at the end of our lane. School is now in session for the 2016-2017 year. After a carefree summer vacation pupils may need us to be particularly ' REAL EYIA E LTD_ attentive when driving in school zones. Remember it takes a village to raise a child. Houses in the village that changed hands over the summer have new resi- dents just in time for the children to start school. The house formerly owned by Tom and Cindy Radford, the Madill house, is now home to George and Nancy Mills, Scott and Katelyn. This family comes to the village from Wingham. B J and Angela Cullen and Jake are waiting to take up residence on Arnold and Bev. Riley's farm and are living temporarily on the Snell farm across from Jim and Dorothy Carter. Shawn Garrity and Sarah Reed are the new owners of the Cullen house. This cou- ple has four children, Gavriella, Grayson, Genev- eive and Georgie. The fam- ily had been living in Sea - forth as Shawn works for the Seaforth Expositor. 33 Main St., Seaforth 519.600.1577 Direct 519.272.5413 THE SIGN THAT SAYS SOLD Wednesday, September 14, 2016 • News Record 19 Welcome these new fami- lies and make them com- fortable in our midst. Long time area residents may remember that the Cullen home was once owned by Norm and Helen Alexander. The Alexanders moved into the village from their farm east of the village in 1969. Norman operated the seed cleaning plant which now is Nature's Nest but had a variety of other interests. At one time he documented the noise gen- erated by the feed mill. That study resulted in the mill installing noise reduction equipment. Another of his interests was soil erosion and some may remember the model he showed at events and fairs in the area and to school children. Last week's edition of the Clinton News -Record, in The Early Files, had an item from 35 years ago, 1981, noting that Norm was hon- oured by the Soil Conserva- tion Society of America for his dedicated work in soil erosion. "Call and Response" was the theme of the morning service at Londesborough United on Sunday, Septem- ber 4th. Supporting scrip- ture passages were from the Old Testament 'Wisdom' 9: 13-18 and from the New Testament, Romans: 10: 11-17. Psalm 3 was the responsive psalm. The order of service included a cute but thought provoking quote by a Paul Walker I decided to share with you. 'All that really mat- ters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprin- kles on the sundae." Sunday School will resume at Londesborough United this coming Sunday, September 11th. The first meeting of the fall for the Londesborough UCW will be held on Monday, September 19th beginning with fellowship and coffee at 7:30 p.m. EXCELLENT LOCATION FARM FOR SALE AMY McCLURE Sales Rep. 519-525-3988 MAUREEN WILDFONG Sales Rep. 519-525-9954 FARM FOR SALE INVESTMENT PROPERTY 11 KIPPEN RD, EGMONDVILLE 42232 WINTHROP RD, HURON EAST 42232 WINTHROP RD, HURON EAST MLS #791109 $219,000 MLS #415487 $512,000 DOUBLE GARAGE NEW LANDSCAPING MLS #313667 $768,000 GREAT FAMILY HOME 550 TURNBERRY ST., BRUSSELS MLS #641774 $150,000 IMMEDIATE POSSESSION 161 HURON STREET, CLINTON 16 FAIRWAY RD, EGMONDVILLE 51 HARPURHEY RD, HARPURHEY 23 ANN STREET, SEAFORTH MLS #305461 $249,900 MLS #372285 $409,900 MLS #215434 $229,000 MLS #453723 $159,900
