Ball’s Chapel to host
joint church service
Talking history
Late last month, the Sloman School on Wheels held its second Tea with Toby event of the year,
inviting members of the community to visit the historic site and speak with Toby Rainey, left,
the youngest daughter of Fred and Cela Sloman. Here, taking full advantage of the
opportunity, is Paul Hardy. (Vicky Bremner photo)
My apologies for not meeting the
deadline last week for this space.
However our household was dealing
with a medical issue which just put
everything else right out of my
mind. Our thanks to everyone who
expressed concern in the past
number of days. Those thoughts
helped both of us. John is home
again and we are hoping for a better
fall.
Martin Wilts is still in hospital in
London following his cancer surgery
and Janie tells me each day sees an
improvement in his condition.
Perhaps by this time next week he
will be home. However, this will be
a long road to total recovery. So
keep Martin and Janie in your
prayers.
For a short time early this summer
the house belonging to the Jeongs
was for sale. Since then, the newly-
married son and his wife decided
they would like to live there and the
sign came down. Be sure to make
the couple welcome.
The phrase ‘above board’ means
to be honest and open. The phrase
comes from the card table [the
board, so to speak]. Cheaters would
drop their hands below the table in
order to change their cards. When all
play is ‘above board’ means there
can be no trickery. So ponder ‘a
baker’s dozen’ for this week.
There will be a joint service with
Knox United, Auburn on Sept. 20 at
Ball’s Chapel on the Base Line.
Save Saturday, Sept. 26 to support
Londesborough United Church’s
annual smoked pork chop supper.
The supper will be served from 5 to
7 p.m. at the Londesborough
Community Hall. Advance tickets
only - adults, $15; children 6 to 12,
$6; family rate, $20. Tickets are
available at locations in the village
or from any member of the Board of
Stewards.

Blyth Festival Singers
seek new members
Happiness is singing in the choir!
It is said that singing is good for
the body and the soul, and singing in
a community choir is all about
individuals coming together for the
sheer joy of making beautiful music.
So treat yourself and join the
Blyth Festival Singers as they begin
another wonderful musical season!
Whether you are a first- time
participant or a seasoned singer,
there is a place for every voice in the
Blyth Festival Singers.
The Blyth Festival Singers is a
welcoming, non-auditioned
community choir which has been
going strong since 1980. This
season’s first practice will take place
on Sept. 9 with registration starting
at 7 p.m. Practices are on
Wednesdays from 7:30 - 9:30 in the
June Hill Room above the
administrative building of the Blyth
Memorial Hall. The entrance is at
the back of the theatre off Dinsley
Street. The first session will be
topped off by a social to give
everyone an opportunity to meet and
mingle.
Choir fees are $125 for the season,
with a 10 per cent discount for a
second family member. Student fees
are only $60. Those who choose to
sing for a portion of the season may
arrange for pro-rated fees. And first
time singers can attend three free
trial practices before committing to
the choir.
The Blyth Festival Singers’
director Sharon Poelstra has planned
an exciting lineup for the season.
The annual holiday concert on Dec.
6 will feature the new Huron County
Children’s Choir. On April 10 the
choir will perform Rutter’s
“Requiem.” And the fun and lively
May 28 dinner cabaret will feature
special guests, the recently reunited
“Whiskey Jack”.
New this fall for choir members is
a workshop and social on Saturday,
Sept. 26 with an opportunity to
participate in several different
activities including vocal and music
skills classes, a yoga session and
sectional and full rehearsals.
For more information about the
choir, call Shelley McPhee Haist at
