8-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, September 19,,1990 Kendal Happenings Kendal Hall News Sunday dawned a cool clear, breezy day, faîl seemns to be here. The summers are either getting shorter, or else it is my age that seems to make it feel that way. Driving up over the ski hilI and looking to the north and east, the- trees are certainly losing their green- ness, and taking on other colours, here and there you can see, freshly plowed fields, some fields are brown wbere they have been harvested and here and there you can see bales of hay still sitting in bright green fields where there is a second growth of hay. I always think spring is so beautiful with its many shades of green, but early fal is more colourful. Last night and this rnorning were the coldest so far, timne to bring in those house plants that you put out- side for, the summer, remember, don't bring thern directly into the warrnth of the bouse from the cool outdoors, try to find a place wbere the temperature is sornewhere -in between the outdoor and the in- door, also rernember to spray them soyou don't suddenly find tbat you have a lot of spiders or other in- sects in your house. The Church Service, was well at- tended, the children are back, and once again going to Sunday School. It would be niceto see more of the older, children out, but I guess bas ebaîl is still going on and hockey will be starting, these activities seern to-corne first for some. The choir sang the. anthem, 'Leaning on the Everlasting Arius'. Following the singing of the hymn, 'Jesus, Friend of Little Children', Rev. Ransorn told the children's story, Bryan asked how many of thern had ever been sick. and how did they feel. He then asked what their parents did for them, wmhen they feit this way. They said that Stu arkviflle they were given medicine and kept warrn and it made them feel better. Bryan then took aIl kinds of medicines out of a bag, puIs, lo- tions, bandaids. He then asked them what God did to miake themn better, they answered with, fresh air, water, food and Bryan told thern God's best medicine was His love. There is ail kinds of medicine in the Bible, God tells us, every morning we should read your Bible, that is mnedicine. Rev. Ransornbased bis Sermon on, 'There are no second helpings', he spoke on the part, humour, p lays in our lives, rnakes life better. Bryan spoke of when he lived at home with his parents and the others of his family, that when he was growing up, following the say- ing of Grace, the first ones to get their hands on the dish of food, got the first helping, by the tirne it got to the last, there was nothing Ieft for seconds. That is the way it seerns to be in our lives, first corne, gets the biggest portion and no one really seemns to care that there isn't rnuch for whoever follows, there.is 50 much apathy around us. There is apathy, also found in the Bible, days are wasted in doing nothing. As we get old, we realize that each day we live is a gift, not, to be wasted. Paul said to the people, esteern each day, hold themn in high value, each and every day of our lives, for they too shall die. God, has a par- ticular gift for each one of us, a gift ofhappiness, the Scriptures keep uis from falling into the depths of despair. We should esteern and en- joy each day as it cornes, -it will not come again. Live your Faith, in happiness. We widsh a speedy recovery to Mary Caswell, following her fail. Remember that our Anniversary Corners by Bey Higgins For the past two weeks, you've been hearing about destruction out Our way. This week, lrn writing about constructi on - the construc- tion of 5 new homes in Starkville. Each of these new homes belong to people wýho have either growni up in this area, or have lived here a _good many years. the Ifirst bouse \we saw go tup is that of Mr. & Mrs. John and Joan urh.The Muirphyý's camne from England, and boughit a farrn in Starkvilie 0here they have lived for over fouy years. They sectioned off a pice ofýý that farmi for their new homne. The M*lurphy'\s decided on a Quahity Home, whiicb is miade in Kennielwoý-rth, near Arthur,, On- tario. Tlheir home was brought to thiern in four pieces on September lth last year. A one hundred ton crane set the modules together in a matter of minutes. The bouse came, with everything in it, including kit- chen cupboards, sinks and bathroomn mirrors. They were com- pletely rnoved in on October 25. Mr. Murphy's spent the winter finishing the basemient. The Mur- phy's are thrilled ,ih their new hom-e which is large enough f'or the many famnily gatherings they'll be sure to have. Another house thiat was "delivered" to Starkville belongs to John Robinson and Marilyn Sun- day. Theirs is a Royal Home which was built in a factory in Peter- borough last winter. This year, they put in the foundation, and when the two halves of their bouse arrived. a large crane put the pieces in place, the Van Dyke construction came and p ut the house together. One haîf of the house has the kitchen and livingroom, the other haîf has the bathroom and bedrooms. John and Marilyn moved into their spacio'us bungalow three months ago. New nreighbours for John iand Marilyýn are Roy and Anie Simpii son, whIo are building a Viceroy home on a hiltop) overlooking the beautiful f'arrnand and rolling Is of Stairkville. Roy and Anne, with the hiell? of' their famlily, are biilding thieir bousetesevs They are iving in a trailer unitil their new hiome is ready, IhopeIflly before Christmias, says Roy. Another Viceroy home in the area is that of Mri. Ralph A. l3amsey. His house was started in the summer, and he is hoping it w\ill be completed by November 3rd, thie date of' his upcomiing mar riage to Maria Mlareniko. Al the best to you! Gien and Mlaie Wood started their new house on the 6th of June and hope Io be in by thc end of Oc- tober. Thiey are building a 2,700 square foot two-storey.brick bouse which bias a lovely view of L ake On- tario. Iiim Baker is the main con- tractor, but many family members have been helping out. Marie says, 'Whoeverý's game to grab a ham- mer is wvelcome around here!" To thie new homebuilders in Staikville - best of luck to aIl of youl! Well, once again faîl is here, and the Lodges are gettîng back to nor- mal meetings, like every other organization, you can't get people to attend regularly during the sum- mer, so it is- better to forego meetings in those two rnonths. With fa-Il coming, that means that the last big event of summer bas corne and gone, I'm speaking of the Fair. Once again the Kendal Band took' part, not the Kendal and Tyrone band, as was reported elsewhere in the Times, last week, also the Ladies took part. We are glad to be able to say that in this area, the Lodges are well and growing. Thank you to al who worked in the Orange Lodge booth and to ail who supported them by buying tickets. Although people are not very patriotic, flags didn't seil the way expected,, 1 guess no0 one cares to show their patriotism by showing a flag. The winners of the draws were: Service,, will be held on October 2Ist, the guest speaker will be Rev. White, plan to attend. If you wish to receive The Observer, see Mrs. M. Stevens on Sunday, September 30 or October 3rd, that is the last date for order- ing.

Card parties will soon be starting, watch for the an- nouncement of the starting date, it wilI bc in early October. More news later. by P. Lowery Seling home under the hammer' Are you brave enough to put your home under the hammer? Auctioning your property is one way to escape tbe presently depress- ed real estate market. If you are looking for a bargain, an auction could be a canny way to buyv. The beauty of an auction is its finality. Once, the hammer drops, the buyer is legallyobliged to buy and the seller, seIl. Frustrated sellers who cannot bear the thought of yet -another buyer pulling out of a deal, may think of an auction. Just as in an ordinary auction, the seller can set a reserve price - the least you would . accept for the property. The brave part of the auction cones when you have to face having to slash your asking price by at least 25 per cent to make your home attractive enough to encourage bidding. Then the seller hopes the bidders will push up that bottom price. Prepar- ing to bld at a property auction is a tirne-cônsuming and expensive business, often plagued by disap- pointment. Buyers will not gq to an auction if they can pick up a sirnilar proper- ty through a real estate agent. Com- fort can be gained by knowing that house auctions attract first-time buyers, and other ordinary people. The speculators appear ta be no longer interested in house auctions. With the professionals staying away during the depressed market there is less chance of the ordinary buyer being shut out. Ordinary buyers must go to a house auction arrned with everything they need. That, should include' their mortgage of- fer, if they need one, ago-ahead frorn their lawyer, and if possible a survey. Don't ask for your first look around the place after the hammer has gone down. If youi are selling your house through the ordinary rnarket the af- fair can drag on for months or even years. If you consider the auction, the chances are that you will selI rather quickly. If you are caught up in the stagnation of the real estate rnarket, and you need to selI fast - consider the auction route, but be prepared to accept about 25 per cent less than your asking price.
