for the future to the Ward family.
Alex Darling continues to reside

This coming Sunday. the

Rob Thrall of New Hamburg at their
outdoor service along with music
from the Siertsema sisters of Blyth.
Please note the error,in last week's
column. The Early Year's Learning
program does not happen on
Thursday evening but rather on
Thursday mornings. Obviously my
head and my fingers were not in sync
when I wrote that item.
Bruce and Marie (Riley) Kelly of
Thunder Bay visited with Arnold

honour of her 60th birthday while
she was here.
Congratulations to Tom and
Marjorie Duizer on the safe arrival
of a new granddaughter. Son Steven
and wife. Christina, have a little
sister for Jessica. Hanna Rose was
born on June 30, Steven's birthday.
Another interesting note about the
arrival is the choice of Rose for the
wee girl's second name. Longtime-
area residents may remember that
the night Steve was born, his great-
grandparents died in a house fire.
Rose Hunking is remembered in her
great-great-granddaughter's name, a
nice tribute.
From the number of birds and
animals that popped up on the lawn
overnight someone was celebrating a
notable birthday. It seems someone
in the Wayne Riley household turned
50 on July 4.
The stork has paid another visit to
the village, this time at the home of
Brent and Janet Scrimgeour. Ethan

Eileen McClinchey welcomed
seven members of the Walkerburn
Club on June 22. There was a poster
on display for the 150th and many
enjoyed picking out past members.
Members immediately went to
work and tied two lap quilts for the
nursing home. During lunch
supplied and served by Eileen and
Vera, a short meeting was held. It
was decided to enter a float in the
150th celebration parade. Some

Sadly the golf cart has taken its
last tour of the village. Villagers
became accustomed to seeing Jack
and Marion Snell touring village
streets to visit friends and relatives
and pick up the mail. The couple
even arrived at their own surprise
80th birthday party in the cart. It
afforded Jack some independence
when his mobility became limited
due tp poor health. However, Jack
passed away on June 22.
Jack was a wireless operator for
the RCAF in World War II. When he
returned to Hullett Twp. he and
Marion farmed just west of
Londesborough where they raised
five children — Barb, Bonnie, Bette,
Rob and Rick. The farm was the
family home for 45 years.
Over the years, Jack played
baseball and bowled with the men of
Cranston, Trevor Armstrong, Linda
Wilson, Helen Lapp, Adam Cronin,
Dan Jones, Melanie Hiuser,
Margaret Hildebrand, Ted Grigg,
Bob Watkins, Ashley Blok,
Benjamin Errington, Alice
McDowell, Charlotte Worsell,
Jeremy Verwey, Elva Armstrong and
David Thomson.
Happy anniversary to Lorraine
and Kevin Steckle, Jack and Doreen
Mali, Gerald and Mary Ellen
Jefferson, David and Diane
Thomson, Grant and Joan MacPhee,
Gerry and Betty Kruhlak, Rob and
Lori Gordon, Wayne and Claire
McDowell, Greg and Nancy Park,
Travis and Kim Teed, Larry and
Linda Plaetzer, and Shawn and Jenn
Rodger.
members will meet at a later date to
make signs, etc. - -
The members also made plans to
go to the Restview Nursing Home
sometime in August and play bingo
with the residents.
They made plans for the Club's
85th anniversary on Sept. 26 in
Auburn Community Hall. All former
members and families and
neighbours are invited to a potluck
the Londesborough community and
was a member of the Hullett A.F. and
A.M. Lodge and Eastern Star and
Londesborough United Church.
The years of hard work with cattle
began to take a toll on Jack's hips
and he and Marion sold the farm and
moved to the village in 1991. More
recently arthritis and heart problems
were a concern.
Situated at the end of Trueman
Street, their new home afforded Jack
lots of opportunity to birdwatch,
especially the hummingbirds and
goldfinches which visited his
feeders. He planted plenty of pansies
there — a favourite annual flower.
A falmily man to the end, Jack took
great pride in the activities of his
children and grandchildren. An avid
cribbage player, Jack taught all his
children and grandchildren the
game. That way he always had
someone to play with.
No one enjoyed the Snell Family
Singers any more than Jack did and
they always sang one of his favourite
numbers when he was in the
audience.
Jack's children will also remember
Jack's talent for whistling.
Apparently his lips could whistle
through hymns and a variety of other
tunes.
luncheon at 12:30 p.m. Each family
is to bring potluck for first course,
plus their own dishes and cutlery.
The club will supply cake and ice
cream as well as drinks.
Invitations will be sent out at a
later date.
After a short social time, the
meeting came to a close, and some of
us toured Eileen's beautiful gardens
before leaving for home.

HCPS says
thanks to
community
The final newsletter from Hullett
Central Public School for the 2003-
2004 school year included a thank
you to the parents and community
for the continuing support given to
the school. Further on in the
newsletter was a report of items the
school was able to purchase to help
with their overall education from a
variety of fundraisers.
The penny drive funds were used
to purchase a DVD player and a new
television. With Zellers points, the
parent council purchased a new
VCR. Some of the auction money is
designated for a new digital camera,
badminton nets, referee stand,
library items, music items and
student planners for the coming year.
The remainder of the funds will be
used for the purchase of novels,
primary literacy materials and math
resources.
A number of pupils from Hullett
participated in the Avon Maitland
District School Board track and field
meet in Stratford on June 15.
Congratulations to Matt Boven who
placed first in the intermediate boys
division. Other winners were
Brendon Boven, Vanessa Wilts and
Danielle Bean, all for the triple
jump, Katelyn Roetcisoender and
Robyn Kassies for high jump, Laura
Snell in long jump and Brent Drost
in the 400-metre race.
Year-end trips for Hullett pupils
included one to Bingeman Park in
Kitchener for Grades 4/5, 5/6 and
6/7 on June 21. On the Monday
following graduation, the Grade 8
students enjoyed a day at Canada's
Wonderland in Toronto. Storybook
Gardens in London was a treat for
the kindergarten pupils.
