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.

Remembering those lost
Bev Elliott was on hand for the 13th annual Blyth Greenway
Trail Memory Garden Service on Sunday. 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.

Huron County Warden Paul
Gowing spoke about the new system
revolving around the Huron County
Ploughing Match last week, saying
that in his opinion, it has been
working.
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.
