The Citizen, 2015-09-24, Page 27PAGE 28. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2015. CUSTOM MANURE SPREADING with a truck tank and draghose system and CUSTOM SILAGE HAULING A.J. Wagemans Farms Call Andrew at 519-356-9170 The Yiddish word “kabas” means “to suppress”. A Scottish hunting term, “caboche”, means cutting off a deer’s head close behind the horns. An Irish expression “cie bais [pronounced bosh]” translates as “cap of death”. Any of these terms may be the origin of “putting the kibosh on” which means putting an end to something once and for all. Ponder on “peter out” this week. The ‘Countdown Club’, sponsored by the Fellowship Bible Chapel of Londesborough held its first session on Thursday, Sept. 17. This weekly club for community children in Senior Kindergarten through Grade 6 meets from 6:30 to 8 p.m and this fall will be looking into “The Egypt File”, decoding the mystery of life. Contact Elaine Steinson for more info at 519-482-5218. Villagers will be noticing the lights on again in the former home of Harry and Gail Lear. Terry Radford, elder son of Robert and Traci Radford, has purchased the house and is getting settled in. Eric Radford, Terry’s brother, owns the former home of Genevieve Allen. It’s nice to have native sons stay in our midst. Alphonse Meloche purchased the Pianovations building some months ago, but until recently had rented the living area to Tim Varey and Michelle Cain. The working area at the back of the building is still being rented/used by Pianovations for restoration work. Al, who comes to the village from the Tiverton area, has now taken up residence in the building. A musician who repairs and customizes guitars and sets up sound systems among other things musical, he plans to open a recording studio in the former showroom. Tim and Michelle have purchased the Overboe house on Elizabeth Street. Tim’s son, Zachary, lives with the couple. Did you notice the sun dogs just after the supper hour on Sunday evening? Perhaps they were forecasting a change to cooler more fall-like temperatures. They certainly were a prelude to a spectacular sunset over the beach at Goderich. Broken Washer?

The event marked the unveiling of a special angel statue in the garden but also allowed Elliott the chance to read the list of those memorialized in the garden. (Vicky Bremner photo) Rev. Fletcher called the second Sunday in his series, The Season of Creation, Mountain Sunday. It was Sept. 20 and the service was held jointly with Knox United of Auburn in the Ball’s Chapel. The senior choir from Londesborough United Church, directed by Barb Bosman, offered two selections that morning. During the receiving of the offering the choir sang “O, a Song Must Rise” and at Rev. Terry’s request, in keeping with the message theme, repeated “Gonna Climb a Mountain”. Other music for the service was played by Nancy Parks on a suitcase pump organ. The unison psalm was Psalm 48. The Old Testament scripture passage was Isaiah 65:16-25. In their religious musical, The Sound of Music, Rogers and Hammerstein composed the very familiar “Climb Every Mountain”. As Rev. Fletcher remarked the title says every mountain and is a most inspiring song. Choosing this sermon topic for the service at Ball’s Chapel was appropriate for the only way to get to the church is to climb the hill. But as those who attend realize, the climb has its reward. The view from the chapel is spectacular overlooking the hills along the Maitland River. Such is the reward many times from real mountains. There are many references in the Bible to events taking place on mountain tops. However, many mountains are figurative of having to do with the choices and events we face in life. To reach these mountain tops one needs to get rid of excess baggage/sin and focus on the face of God and His will for each of us. Moreover conquering any mountain means challenging one’s self, freeing one’s spirit to reap the reward at the top/end.

Historically, the match has always been held in the home municipality of the current warden of the county. However, when the county voted in favour of a two-year term for warden, which was instituted late last year, the rules changed. At Huron County Council’s Sept. 2 meeting, Gowing said that he chose a site for the first year of his term, which was in Ashfield- Colborne-Wawanosh (ACW), and that next year the match would be held in his home municipality of Morris-Turnberry. In fact, he told councillors, the match would be held at the home farm of Paul Fear, which is at the corner of Morris and Clegg Lines in Morris-Turnberry. He said the match held at the Hayden farm was a great success and he thanked all who were involved. He also mentioned his participation in the hand plough event, which he said was more difficult than he anticipated. The event was won by ACW Reeve Ben Van Diepenbeek, which earned him a round of applause from his fellow councillors at the meeting.
