The official sod-turning was held May 9
for the Frankford build of Habitat for Humanity. The family with two
small children and a new puppy stood inside the foundation of their home
on Frankford Road for the first time. Kyrin, three, tried out the shiny
shovel for the groundbreaking and proved to be ready to take up
construction. His brother Keegan, 20 months, was just happy to see a new
puppy join the family. But parents Erin Valyear and Kyle Minnie were
delighted."This is the first time we can get a feel for what the house
will look like," Erin said smiling. "It's so exciting!"The
Reverend Mary Gibbons gave a blessing for the house, and building
committee chair Ted Brown announced the construction would be moving
forward quickly."The walls will be up next," he said. "There will be
great changes. By June you will see a real structure here."He said this
was a team project and thanked all the volunteers.
