Huron Expositor, 2014-09-17, Page 76 Huron Expositor • Wednesday, September 17, 2014 Doors Open Ontario welcomes local artists Rounding out an already busy weekend, Doors Open Ontario was featured through- out Huron County Sept. 13 and 14. The event is meant to invite visitors to experience Ontario's hidden heritage treasures. Local attractions included artists at the Seaforth Golf and Country Club, Van Egmond House, Seaforth's his- toric roundhouse and Com- mercial Hotel. Guests also got a sneak peek at Huron East's Art Unhinged, a project featuring doors painted by local artisans in an effort to convert discarded doors into works of art. Several doors were placed at different historical locations over the weekend, and many can cur- rently be seen in shop win- dows up and down Main Street. According to Doors Open Ontario, since the program was launched in 2002, over five million visits have been made to heritage sites across the province.

Remembering Nobel Lanes To the Editor; Another demolition pro- ject completed in the town of Seaforth, besides the Queen's Hotel is the clearing of Starlight Lanes. Before the blowing alley in Seaforth was named Starlight Lanes, it was called Nobel Lanes. It was owned by Gordon and Gerda Nobel from 1964 to 1985. Gordon and Gerta retired and sold the bowling alley just before they moved form Seaforth to London in Janu- ary of 1986. On July 20, 2014, I was in Seaforth for my husband Ron's Aunt's birthday. We took a drive around Egmondville and Seaforth to see the houses and buildings. As we drove past the empty lot on Market Street, where the bowling alley once stood, I felt a sense of loss. My memories of the bowl- ing alley go back to when I was nine years old, in 1964. That was the summer my mom and dad bought the bowling alley from Garry Kelly. Mom and I still reminisce about all the fun times we had socializing at the bowl- ing alley. There were all the leagues, town champs, legion tour- naments, Christmas parties, church youth group parties and lots more. We even had six teams of moms bowl in a fundraiser for the co-op nursery school one Saturday in May of 1977. Ron and I met at the bowling alley and we had our first date there. We have bowled in several leagues throughout the past years. When we moved to London in 1984, we encouraged our three children to become good bowlers. Once, when Dennis and Evan were blowing in the YBC Bantam division, we all bowled in the Family Two- some Tournament. Ron and Dennis beat Evan and I at the house level by only five points. Dennis and Ron bowled at the zone level and then went on to the provincials in Toronto that summer. These were very happy and exciting times for our family. Mom and Dad and our family put many long hours cleaning and pin setting, as well as serving snacks and handing out shoes behind the counter through the 22 years of owning the bowling alley. I hope the people of Sea - forth will remember these good years and how much we appreciated their patronage. Thank you. Mary Beuerman London, Ont. St. Anne's to hold Welcome Back Liturgy and lunch fundraiser St. Anne's school news Colin Dobson, Minister of Public Relations The excitement continues to build as the third week at St. Anne's comes to a close. A variety of sports oppor- tunities are offered to our students to keep everybody active as we approach the fall months. On Wednesday, Sept. 17, St. Anne's will be holding its Welcome Back Liturgy. Our school Chaplaincy Leader, Lisa Phillips, will kick our Liturgical year off with her terrific planning and ideas, as she has always done. St. Anne's will also get an opportunity to welcome our new priest, Father Matthew -George as he will be leading us through kind- ness and prayer this school year. On Thursday, Sept. 18, a fundraiser Lunch Box Spe- cial will be held in the cafe- teria during junior and sen- ior lunch. Picnic lunches will be auctioned off with all money going to a clean water facility in Ghana. This activity not only gives students a unique way to socialize with their class- mates, but also an opportu- nity to welcome new stu- dents who have come to St. Anne's from other schools in the past weeks. In co-curriculars, St. Anne's Me -To -We, the Social Justice Club and Habitat for Humanity have all resumed their meetings for the 2014- 2015 school year.
