The county is alive with community club picnics these days and if you have an invite to one, be sure to attend. You could be the next winner of the three-legged race. (Pat Livingston photo) Harvest season started On last Tuesday forenoon secretary Don MacTavish brought the following notes around on the Monday evening July 13 meeting of the Ripley Agricultural Society. It was held an hour earlier at the Ripley Huron Central School at 8 p.m. Present were 13 people on the evening of the 13th - rather neat. They were George Messenger, Diane and Ron Brooks, Margery MacDonald, Sheila MacDonald, Evelyn Elliott, Gary Courtney, Burton Hodgins, Bob Thompson and Don MacTavish. Bob Thompson, the President, was in charge of the meeting. Don Reid reported for the car show. The grain committee is to get new plastic bags for the grain show. A survey was made on the annual convention. Everyone satisfied to leave it as it is. Burton Hodgins of Kincar- dine was present and spoke on a Constitu- tion. A vote of thanks was given to Burton. Harvest season has started The 1987 harvest season in this area started last week - mid July. So on Sunday afternoon we went over to the Ripley Elevator to get a couple of names for this item. Owner and, operator of the Shur Gain facility Bob Thompson was just finishing the unloading of a truck load of his own Frankenmuth fall wheat from his own farm on the 12th concession east in Huron township. Bill Johnson of Hwy. 9 had com- bined it for Bob on Saturday. Also at the elevator was staff worker Wayne Kerr. From them we put down some notes. The first wheat into Ripley was from the farm of Harry Hollands of the South Line and for Canola seed the first load was from Bruce Campbell. Over on Monday morning we got the following names from the secretary Mrs. June Paquette as follows - others bringing in loads of combined wheat - Ron Lowry, Ken Farrell, Sandy Pollock, Johnny Elliott, Roger Farrell, Gary Quinn, and Rod MacDonald. And Gord Shantz with a load of barley. Also mid Sunday afternoon driver Bill Wyld moved the Little Rock Transport into place to get loaded with a shipment of Canola seed. One of these grain hauling units such as Little,Rock is made up of three parts - the tractor, the leader, and., the pup - the last two filled with grain and the first supplies the power - if I remember correct- ly, - a long way to Windsor in the night when hopefully the traffic is at a low point. On Tuesday of last week there was a short change in the weather as the 3 H's passed on - hot, hazy, and humid for a brief period. So in the Wingham news they had an item which could have been labelled the 4 H's. It wasan iteM on the veteran school photographer "happy" Harry Hingley. It was his 68th birthday and he has been taking school pictures in Ontario here for 50 years from his native Hanover - so it could have been "Hanover's Happy Harry Hingley". When he came into the auditorium of the Ripley District High School we remember his presence would bring smiles - Everybody liked Harry. Seeded new lawn Just a pinch of the Ripley weekend news. We find it continually harder to sniff out this news all the time. Last Saturday Bill and Tom Kempton, of the Point Clark-Amberley area moved their equipment and with assistant Allan Matheson of Kincardine they filled, laid, and seeded the lawn for the new house for Ronald and Lynn Nicholson on Huron Street south. With the, heavy rainstorm on Sunday evening it was a job which was done at the right time especially the grass seedi^g for the lawn. Lions held beef barbecue On Sunday afternoon the Ripley and District Lions Club had a good turnout for their annual beef barbecue at the Complex. It was held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tending the roasting ovens for cooking the beef were Doug Coultes and Don MacTavish. Tennis lessons wrap up As a wrap up to the tennis lessons that were held in Ripley, Floyd Stanley said Sal- ly organized a mini -tournament this past Thursday and the results were as follows: Ages 12 to 16 - 1st Division; lst-Scott Van Den Hogen, 2nd -Deane Stanley. Ages 8 to 11 Division; 1st -Peter MacDonald, 2nd -Kerry Stanley. First and second in each division received tennis T-shirts. Thanks to Sally Lichtenberg for teaching the lessons.
