Schools to get
Honour,
virtue
at
HCPS
Honour is the virtue being stressed
at Hullett Central Public School this
last full week of classes for the
school year. The supporting quote
states, “If you wouldn’t write it and
sign it, don’t say it.”
The school calendar for the month
of June is full of happenings for the
pupils, as is normal for the last
calendar month of any school year.
With so much happening I have
enlisted help from a number of
senior pupils to share the events with
you.
Marie Hulley has filed the first of
those reports: On Tuesday, June 10,
members of the school band
participated in a band day held at
Robertson Memorial Public School
in Goderich. In the morning Hullett
and Robertson bands practised the
pieces they were playing together at
the end of the day. After practice all
went out to play baseball until
lunchtime Hullett beat Robertson.
From 1 to 1:45 p.m., the Hullett
band members went to music
workshops while the Robertson band
practised the pieces they would be
playing by themselves at the concert.
Each workshop/section had at least
one person from the Goderich
Laketown Band helping them. When
the workshops were over they
switched with Robertson and
practised the selections with their
music teacher, Ms Wyatt.
In late afternoon all band members
played the pieces their schools
would be playing together at the
concert in front of the rest of the
Robertson school.
The afternoon went by quickly and
it was soon time to get ready for the
concert. Because of bad weather the
concert was performed at Robertson
school instead of Goderich’s
Harbour Park. The concert went
from 7:05 to 8:15 p.m. It was a really
productive, learning day and a lot of
fun.
Seniors host euchre
At the Happy Gang Seniors euchre
party on June 13 at the
Londesborough Community Hall,
there were 16 1/2 tables of card
players.
The high score of 81 points was
tallied by Frank and Kaye Bearss.
Don Buchanan and Josephine
MacGregor were second with 76

Brother John,
minister’s topic
for young at heart
On Sunday, June 15 at
Londesborough United Church, Rev.
Ted Nelson told a story for the
young-at-heart about Brother John.
Earnestly wishing to be a preacher,
Brother John begged the abbot to
allow him to preach to his fellow
brethren some Sunday. However,
each time Brother John was given
that opportunity, he became nervous
and tongue-tied.
His brief final message to his
brethren was that those who know
about God’s love should share the
news with those who don’t for this is
Christ’s message.
The ladies choir that morning
sang, Reach Out to Your Neighbour
as well as Fill My Cup, Lord.
In Psalm 67, the responsive Psalm,
David encourages all peoples to
praise God for His blessings to them.
Love and Marriage was the title of
Rev. Nelson’s very relevant message
for Father’s Day Sunday. 1
Corinthians 13, was the supporting
New Testament scripture passage.
Rev. Nelson’s message examined
that most intimate of relationships,
marriage, with respect to what God
intended this union to be. In
points. Third prize was won with 73
points scored by Tom and Gloria
McKay.
Vera and Kay Hesselwood had the
most lone hands, successfully
playing seven. Share-the-wealth
winners were Stuart Chamney, Lois
Haggitt and Kay Hesselwood.
The next card party is July 11.
marriage a couple should strive to
have a harmony of purpose with
each partner being a part of the
other, as in doubled but not
duplicated.
Husbands and wives being
inherently different, marriage
becomes three interconnected rings.
The centre ring/circle represents the
marriage/harmony while the two
connected circles of husband and
wife allow each to retain their own
personalities. In marriage no side
ring should come to be larger, or
more important, than the centre
circle.
Rev. Nelson pointed out that real
love makes a difference in the lives
of both partners when each stays
aware of harmony of purpose.
Using the recipe for love from
Paul’s message to the Corinthians, a
couple can keep love alive and a
marriage healthy. He noted that the
most essential ingredient in a
marriage is the element of
unconditional love.
The sacrament of holy
communion will be observed next
Sunday morning, June 22.
Practice for the senior choir is set
for 10:30 a.m. June 22.
A joint congregational meeting for
the Auburn and Londesborough
charges will convene at noon on
June 22 for the purpose of deciding
upon a pastoral relationship.
The congregation extends
sympathy to the family of Ken
Hulley. Ken passed away at
Queensway Nursing Home, Hensall
last Friday. His family would benefit
from your concern and prayers
during this time of sorrow.
heating upgrades
By Stew Slater
Special to The Citizen
More summertime maintenance
was arranged at Huron and Perth
County schools last week, as the
Avon Maitland District School
Board awarded contracts to upgrade
heating systems in two elementary
schools, and the “coterminous”
Huron-Perth Catholic board lined up
contractors for four roofing projects.
Boilers will be replaced over the
summer at Exeter Public School and
St. Marys Central Public School.
Both projects were awarded to
Turner Plumbing and Heating.
“The (boilers) on the list for
replacement are the ones deemed to
A serious talk
The Kids on the Block came to Hullett Central Public
School, June 10. Using puppets, they taught children what
constitutes as abuse and what to do if they are being
abused. Here, Steven and JoAnne discuss what it was like
for her to tell an adult she was being abused. (Sarah Mann photo)

be the most in need,” remarked
Avon Maitland business
superintendent Janet Baird-Jackson.
“I think the boiler at St. Marys
Central is at least as old as I am.”
(North Perth trustee Don
Brillinger took this opportunity to
flatter the senior administrator,
quipping “they should be able to get
at least a little more than 20 years of
out of those things.”)
Meanwhile, roof work will be
carried out at two Catholic
elementary schools in Stratford —
Jeanne Sauve French Immersion
and St. Aloysius — as well as Our
Lady of Mount Carmel in Mount
Carmel and Sacred Heart in
Wingham.
