The Citizen, 2009-05-07, Page 34The character attribute being givenemphasis at Hullett Central PublicSchool in May is fairness interpretedas treating everyone in a just andaccepting manner. This way ofthinking will be important as the
children prepare for this year’s track
and field meet on May 19.
On April 1 Jason S., Jordan T. and
Shelsie P., Justine R. and Kelsey F.,
Courtney and Nicole M., Derek DeB
and Murray D. and Zach D. and
Hunter B., all from Grades 7 and 8,
competed in the Avon Maitland
District School Board Science Fair.
The projects from Hullett were
presented to a panel of judges who
evaluated their work and compared
them with projects from across the
board. Zach D. and Hunter B. won
an Innovation Award for their
project.
This week Hullett is celebrating
Education Week with a variety of
special events. One of them, the
Scholastic book fair runs from May4 - 7. You might like to drop by theschool one of those days and checkout what children are reading thesedays.Another event you might want to
take in is the spring concert taking
place on Wednesday evening, May 6
at 7 p.m. This is a K to 8 performing
arts and musical endeavour under
the direction of Mrs. Barnett.
In the past couple of years, pupils
and staff at Hullett Central have
been working to improve writing
skills, investigating a variety of
forms of storytelling. The Grade 3s
have recently been talking about the
parts of a recipe. I thought you might
be interested in some of their unique
‘recipes’ for the attributes studied.
The first recipe is respect muffins.
• Ingredients - 4 tsp being
considerate, 2 cups of honour, 1
cup of responsibility, 4 tsp of
taking care of people, 1/2 cup of
helping people and 1 cup of loving.• Instructions - Take some lovingand some caring and add a pinch ofhumour and then someresponsibility. Pour mixture into amuffin pan, then cook in stove at
250°. Then you have respect
muffins. (By Sean W. and Kalvin
W.)
Hullett Central’s community
representative, Joan Goodall, offers
this next item. At the April 14
meeting of the AMDSB, the board
presented their recommendations for
the five schools in the area under
accommodation review. The board is
now considering those
recommendations which involve
moving pupils in Grades 7 and 8 into
empty spaces in area high schools.
Moving these pupils out of the
elementary schools is totally against
the expressed wishes of the five
communities involved.
The board set up the
accommodation review to explorealternatives. They encouragedcommittees to be creative and ‘thinkoutside the box’ and to ensure theyobtained public opinion.The next board meeting is May 12
at 8 p.m. in the Wingham Public
School. This is a chance to rebut the
decisions being made by the
AMDSB and be proactive once
again.
The final decision has not been
made yet. The hot stove group of the
winter intends to make another joint
appeal and could use your presence
and/or support. You could send
letters and e-mails in advance of that
meeting to any or all of the trustees
as listed on the board website.
The village is having a yard sale
on the Saturday of the holiday
weekend, May 16. If you have items
but not enough to hold your own
sale, remember that Londesborough
United Church would welcome
those items for their sale at the
church that day.
This Thursday evening, from 7 -9
p.m. the community is invited to
attend a bridal shower for Dawn
Dolmage in the church basement.
Dawn and Matt Smith will be
married in June.

Services at Londesborough United
have been particularly special these
past three weeks.
Early Saturday morning, April 18,
a group of youth from the area began
what has become an annual 30 hour
fast in order to better understand the
lives of people in Third World
countries. The young people spent
their time at the church in
discussions, etc. They also prepared
the church service they presented on
Sunday, April 19. Following the
service they broke their fast with
pizza.
Crystal Whyte was in charge of
this weekend.
Taking part in the service were
Shelby, Mikayla, Zach, Jordan,
Murray, Amy, Fraser, Brent, Tyler,
Melissa, Ben, Damian, Derek, Kurtis
and Justine.
The message for that morning was
titled Hear My Story. Justice for
these peoples was prayed for during
the service.
The song, I Will Go was sung by
the young folk with the words
displayed on the wall for the benefit
of the congregation. The song
suggested that "I" will go to help the
less fortunate.
Stories were told by the youth
group about the lives/ struggles of
people their own age in poorer
countries where food is scarce and
school attendance is difficult
especially for children who are
orphans.
On Sunday,April 26, Jill Ten Hag,
director of Camp Menesetung,
assisted Rev. Cook with the morning
service and conversed with the
children during their time at the
front. Jill also entertained the
children in their Sunday school time.
She reminded them that the time to
register for the summer camps is
now. New this year at Camp
Menesetung is a pre-junior camp and
Red Cross swimming lessons.
Clean-up day at the camp is
Saturday, May 9. The junior youth
group from Londesborough United
will meet that morning at the church
to help with that clean-up. They will
return at 2 p.m. Lunch is provided.
For more info, contact Crystal
Whyte. All volunteers are
appreciated between 10 a.m. and 3
p.m. to ready the site for the
summer.
The camp wish list for 2009 is
posted in the narthex of the church.
Please check it to see if there are any
items you might be able to donate.
Young people were a wonderful
part of the service on Sunday, May 3
as well. Rev. Cook conducted a
confirmation service for five
teenagers who confessed their faith
and joined the Londesborough
United faith community – a truly
special event for them.
Those youth Mikayla Allen,
Zachary Drost, Kelsey Falconer,
Shelby Radford, and Melissa
Roetsicoender assisted with the
service as well.
Clerk of Session, Carmen Drost,
introduced the confirmands to the
congregation.
Assisting Rev. Cook with the
sacrament of communion were
Helen Lyons, Helen Dale, Betty
Archambault, Don Goodall, Adrian
Salverda and Carmen Drost. The act
of communion was a reaffirming of
faith for everyone gathered that
morning, a celebration of
confirmation and welcome.
The senior choir’s anthem was an
arrangement of I’ve Got Peace Like
a River. Kelsey Falconer shared her
vocal talent with the congregation as
well. She sang, Waiting For My
Dearie, a piece she performed at a
Kiwanis Music Festival recently.
The responsive reading was Psalm
23. The gospel passage was John
10:11 to 18. It is the story/parable of
the good shepherd. Rev. Cook’s
message, based on that passage, was
titled, Sheep in Action.
Too hot to handle
Blyth firefighters were busy Monday morning, responding to
a tractor fire just east of Blyth on Moncrieff Road. The fire
was back in the homeowner’s field, nearly one kilometre off
the road. The blaze was quickly extinguished once
firefighters arrived. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
