UPCOMING SALES
Avery Whyte was the recipient of
an educational scholarship which
allowed her to do her Grade
12 studies in Neuchatel,
Switzerland.
This private Canadian school
teaches the Canadian curriculum.
Canadian teachers taught the 70
Canadian students who had been
awarded the opportunity to study
there for just one semester or the
entire year. Avery shared her
experience with the Londesborough
UCW on June 17.
In order to qualify Avery received
a recommendation from a teacher at
Central Huron Secondary School,
submitted a summary of interest in
the program, wrote two essays and
had a Skype interview.
Upon arrival in Switzerland, the
entire group had an orientation tour
of Switzerland which gave them an
Whyte speaks on travels
Early in May, longtime village
resident Milt Dale moved into
Clinton. Presently he is living with
his brother, Lorne, in an apartment
in the former home of the Board of
Education on Albert Street next to
the convenience store. We are sorry
to lose his presence in the village
and wish him well.
Mackenzie Nesbitt, daughter of
Russell and Kerry and
granddaughter of Carl and Lena, is
settling in nicely in Milt’s bungalow.
Mackenzie drives to Wingham every
day to her position in the office of
the Municipality of North Huron.
Welcome to Londesborough,
Mackenzie.
We hope you will find life here to
your liking.
Our municipal workers have been
in the village recently putting up
Canadian flags, in time for Canada
Day, and banners advertising the
merits of Central Huron.
As Huron County debates where
to locate its new county offices
various sites other than the original
Goderich site have been discussed. It
makes sense for the county to have
all related offices in one building. As
they consider a site central in the
county, it seems someone has
decided Londesborough is the actual
geographical centre of the county.
Do they realize I have a large
property in the centre of the village
for sale? Just think of the growth we
might see: a restaurant, an office
supply source, etc. The sky could be
the limit!
This week will be the last for the
school year 2018-2019. Please be
aware as you drive about the area
that our children will be enjoying
their freedom and not always
mindful of their own safety.
This spring season has proven
difficult for farmers trying to get
their crops planted or, in the case of
hay, cut and stored. The weather has
been anything but co-operative.
Even state-side many fields have yet
to be worked. And time may be
running out for some crops for this
year.
As a result, farmers are scrambling
hard when the weather is in their
favour. So some decisions made in
the rush may have unforeseen
consequences. Area farmers have
likely heard of the silo that recently
went down on one of the Bylsma
farms. This older cement silo was
showing signs of distress in the
hours before the collapse, but filling
continued.
The loss of silage is unfortunate
but the result could have been much
worse. The silo crumpled between
two barns and in the direction away
from the house. The men in the area
at the time of the collapse were able
to scramble to safety when they
heard the noise. Results could have
been much worse that the loss of a
silo.
If you have a June birthday you
celebrate this month with Anne
Frank, June Carter Cash, Tom Jones
and Cole Porter to name a few.
