The Londesboro United Church
Women began their evening together
on Monday, Oct. 15 with dessert.
Barb Knox, chairperson of the board
of directors for Camp Menesetung,
was the guest speaker. She offered
much information about the work-
ings of the camp.
Knox related that she had very
limited connection to Camp
Menesetung when she joined the
board two years ago. It has been an
enjoyable learning period and she
has been most impressed by her
experience and observations since
then.
A Christian theme is chosen for
each summer and that theme is cen-
tral to all activities throughout each
day of all of the six camping weeks.
Although Camp Menesetung is
essentially a United Church camp,
not all of the campers or counsellors
are affiliated to a United Church.
Actually 30 per cent of its campers
are referred by the Children's Aid
Society.
Camp facilities are also rented out
for use by school, retreat groups, and
day gatherings.
In the summer of 2001, the camp
complied with Ministry of Health
regulations regarding water supply
and built a pumphouse to house an
updated water pumping system.
Engineers are still investigating the
best new major septic design for the
camp.
A devotional time was conducted
by Florence Snell, Betty Fisher and
Brenda Snell suggesting that one
should recognize and give thanks for
those blessings/surprises which
come from unexpected places. This
theme was repeated in a story read
by President Joan Whyte. A mission-
ary in China found a much needed
pair of eyeglasses in a crate of items
shipped from Chicago. It seems The
Master Carpenter used an ordinary
carpenter in an extraordinary way.
At the close of the meeting the
31NR warns
of driving
hazard
Ministry of Natural Resources
(MNR) advises motorists to be extra
cautious on the road at this time of
year. "With the arrival of autumn,
deer are particularly active as they
cover more ground in search of food
and suitable mates," said Brad
Gerrie, enforcement supervisor of
MNR's Guelph District Office.
Deer rarely travel alone, so
motorists who see one deer should be
ready for the sudden appearance of
more. As well, the normal caution
deer take before crossing a busy road
is not present during the rut .
Motorists should be particularly care-
ful when roads cross creeks and
rivers, divide wooded corridors,
bisect fence rows, or where field
edges run perpendicular to the road
and, of course, anywhere that deer
crossing signs are posted.
The most serious deer-vehicle acci-
dents occur when a deer jumps out
onto the road and the driver swerves
to avoid the deer and loses control of
the vehicle. Motorists are at less risk
of serious injury if they hit the deer.
Drivers seeing deer along a road
should slow down and sound their
horns in a series of short bursts. If
deer are seen on the road at night,
motorists should blink their head-
lights.
