Special to the News Record
Sisters-in-law Crystal and
Kerri Whyte brought a fun and
interesting program to the
Londesborough UCW meeting
on June 20. With Canada Day
on the horizon, the women
offered a Canadian theme.
With the help of the computer,
the ladies present that evening
sang and/or hummed along to
three familiar songs about our
vast country while watch-
ing scenes/highlights from
across the country. First was
Bobby Gimby's 1967 Centen-
nial Song written in honour
of Expo '67. Then we heard the
familiar "This Land Is Your
Land" and also "Canada Is [a
Countrymade for Love]"
The UCW members were
asked to list what they felt were
the top 10 symbols of Canada.
Are you surprised at the items
on this list? They are the loon,
maple syrup, our great wilder-
ness, our beer, the moose, the
beaver, Tim Horton's (seems
Timmies holds the record for
Canadian coffee sales at 60%),
the RCMP, our national sport of
hockey and the maple leaf. The
ladies had other suggestions
like CN Tower, Inukshuks, Nia-
gara Falls, Rockies, etc.
Then a form ofJeopardywas
played that asked questions
about our land and the women
realized that for the ordinary
Canadian geographical knowl-
edge is lacking. Fun was had by
all nevertheless while we
leamed some true facts.
During the business part of
the evening updates were given
on plans for the Grade 8 gradu-
ation banquet, the summer
theatre outing and happenings
at Camp Menesetung. Items
were collected for the camp at
this meeting. The next regular
meeting will be September 19.
ET CETERA
Canadian Tire is currently
running a TV ad supposedly
from Labrador City, Newfound-
land. It features a song that is all
too familiar to all of us and in
this case has become most irri-
tating to the parents in the ad.
We have all been there I think.
The song in question is "If
You're Happy and You Know It:'
It is one of the first songs chil-
dren learn in elementary school
because the melody is upbeat,
catchy and easy to leam.
The tune is two centuries old
and comes from a Latvian folk
song. The words were most
likely penned early in the twen-
tieth century. The words are a
call to action and hearing the
tune always brings a smile; itis a
mood changer. Singing this
song at any age reflects joy and
happiness to the world.
Alex and Kelly Vander Eijk,
who live just west of the vil-
lage welcomed an 81b baby
boy last week, another future
pupil for Hullett Central. Con-
gratulations to parents and
grandparents!
Congratulation also, to Bob
Trick who celebrated another
birthday on July 1. Not every-
one has such a party everyyear
to help them celebrate!
Pupils at Hullett Central
School may have thought all the
sirens last Wednesday after-
noon were in celebration of the
last day of the school year but
actually they were for a fire west
of the village on Londesbor-
ough Road. A steel building on
the farm of Aaron Reinink, for-
merly owned by Bert and Linda
Renkema, which housed some
vealers burnt
When terrorism struck the
United States and sent shock
waves around the world we
heard accounts of ordinary
people becoming 'every day
heroes' as they stepped forward
in the face of the crisis to help

out And I believe there is a song
about angels living among us.
Well, one of our villagers is one
of those angels/every day
heroes.
On April 28, 2015 Don
Goodall and his driving partner
were stopped for a break at the
Flying J Truck Stop in
Kapuskasing. On their way
back to their truck a man came
running toward them saying his
friend, another trucker, was in
distress in his cab. Don and his
fellow driver pulled the man,
who had no pulse, from his
truck and commenced CPR
and rescue breathing. They
continued their efforts until the
OPP and Emergency Measures
Services arrived with a
defibrulatot
Don has had lots of first aid
training through his work
with Boy Scouts and at West -
cast. He noted that in his years
with the ski patrol at Caledon
he came across more than one
nasty situation. His partner,
Norm Fitzpatrick, had training
as a paramedic in Nova Scotia.
The men were notified by the
OPP two weeks later that the
man had been stabilized on site
and transferred to a cardiac
unit To the best of their knowl-
edge he made a full recovery
thanks to Don and Norm.
On June 17, 2016 Don and
Norm were presented with
the 'OPP Commissioner's
Citation for Lifesaving' at a
ceremony in Barrie by Com-
missioner Vince Hawkes.
They also received a 'Lifesav-
ing Certificate' from St. John's
Ambulance. Don remarked
that they were humbled at the
attention especially in light of
the accounts of other heroic
acts acknowledged at the
ceremony.
The Ontario Trucking Asso-
ciation has also nominated the
pair for a 'Driver Hero Award:
We are proud ofyou, Don!
