PERSONAL ITEMS
We were all shocked at the sudden passing of
John Daily who had been associated with Sanson since 1963 and
was well known and well liked by us all. He will be greatly missed
by not only his family but the wider community. Our sympathy goes
out to his children and grandchildren.
We are pleased to hear that both June Tricker
and Joan Richards are progressing after their recent trips to
hospital. We grumble about the health system but when we need
it it is there. We have several other residents who are not in
the best of health and we send them cheer germs.
Kelly and Roger Fergusson of Cemetery Rd. have
welcomed into their home a wee daughter, Paige born on July 19th
and weighing 7lbs 9 oz. Paige has a big brother and a small sister
who are delighted with her. We hear that there are several other
arrivals expected and we would love to hear from their parents.
Larry Olsson who works at The Tile Centre recently
received an award at the Palmerston North Business Awards for
his Floor and Wall tiling expertise. Congratulations Skin!!!

NEIGHBOURHOOD SUPPORT
There have been a couple of disturbing incidents
in the village recently probably caused by people passing through
and we are hoping to step up the nightly patrols. If you are willing
to help please contact either James on 3293722 or Del on 3293674.
Dave Fraser from the Bulls Police has been of great help to us
and does regular patrols around the area. We are all grateful
to the nightwatchmen who regularly check out the school, hall
and business premises. Remember, if you are going to be away,
let a trusted neighbour know. We are also concerned about the
roaming dogs and it is a poor show when one of our residents feels
forced to carry a dog repeller when she goes for her evening walk.
She was menaced by a snarling dog in the street and was quite
terrified. Since the Council has combined with the P.N.C.C. with
dog control it is not so easy to contact the dog ranger but we
urge anybody with a problem to contact the Council and lay a complaint.
SANSON COMMUNITY LIBRARY
We had a well attended holiday programme in the
school holidays and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. There
are some very creative children out there. We have received confirmation
of a computer for the Library which will give access to the internet
and E-mail. Hopefully we will be able to find a few more volunteers
(male or female) who are able to spare the odd hour helping out.
Even if you know nothing about computers you will soon be taught.
If I can learn anyone can!
Our next book change is on Wednesday August 10th
at 10 30a.m. If you would like to come along and help please do.
It would be helpful if those of you with overdue books would return
them before this date. Several books have gone missing without
trace. These are Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Cool
Crafts for Creative Kids, Sing Hey Diddle Diddle, Maxwell's Curse
and Passionate Intruder. Four of these are children's books and
we ask mothers to have a hunt for them.
We also have a good supply of jigsaw puzzles
and remember our photo copying service at 10c per A4 sheet.
SANSON COMMUNITY COMMITTEE
Our next meeting will be held in the Library
on Wednesday 24th at 7 p.m. Feel free to come along and let us
know your concerns.
SANSON COMMUNITY HALL
Users of the hall may notice that the building
has recently been re clad and anybody endeavouring to kick a hole
in the wall is more likely to break their foot rather than the
wall. We have also invested in a new stove thanks to good bookings
and Jeff of Leader and Watt in Bulls who did us a really good
deal. Next year's diary has quite a number of bookings already
so if you are planning a celebration and need a venue it will
pay to get in early. Contact Del on 3293674. It would be appreciated
if smokers who stick to the No Smoking rule and go outside the
building to smoke, would please not drop their butts. I find it
disgusting to have to pick them up and as the hall area is used
by the school too the staff there are quite annoyed also.
I can't think of anything else to complain about but I would like
to thank Chad who rolled out the big ruts in my front lawn after
a young hoon did a donut there.
