Beating the runner
As part of a warm-up for the team's drive towards the World Championship, the Aussie
Steelers, a softball team from Australia, played double-header exhibition games against the
Brussels Tigers on Monday night. This isn't the first time the two squads have faced off as Ty
Sebastian, who travelled to Australia to play, provided a connection for his two teams.
Unfortunately for the hometown crowd, the Steelers players proved they belonged at the world
championship, posting two convincing wins over the Tigers. (Denny Scott photo)

for commercially -canned foods.
• Undamaged, commercially canned
foods can be saved if the label is
removed and the can is washed
thoroughly and disinfected.
• Foods with twist -off caps such as
sodas, juices or sauces should be
discarded as they cannot be
adequately disinfected.
• When in doubt, throw it out.
CLEAN UP
When cleaning up after a flood,
minimize contact with floodwater or
anything that was in contact with the
floodwater and keep children away
from contaminated areas.
Follow these steps for a safe
clean-up:
• Prepare for the cleanup by
gathering necessary supplies
including gloves, N95 masks, rubber
boots, goggles, soap, pails,
dehumidifiers and wet/dry vacuums.
• Vent the affected areas by opening
windows and doors.
• Remove water, mud and other
debris including standing water, dirty
material, debris, soil and residual
mud.
• Use soap and water to clean all
affected areas.
• Ensure all cleaned areas
are allowed to dry as quickly as
possible.
• Dispose of household items that
cannot be dried within 48 hours as
anything that takes longer has greater
potential for mould growth.
• Items such as insulation, drywall,
carpets, particleboard furniture, beds,
toys and cushions that have had
contact with flood waters and cannot
be dried should be discarded.
• Clean and dry out your house and
salvageable possessions using fans,
heaters and dehumidifiers to speed up
the drying process and prevent mould
growth.
• Vacuum surfaces that are dry
and/or have not been directly affected
by the flood waters with a HEPA
vacuum cleaner.

County CAO
Orchard resigns
By Shawn Loughlin
The Citizen
Brenda Orchard, who has served
as Huron County Chief
Administrative Officer for the past
two and a half years, is leaving the
county as of Aug. 2.
Orchard officially announced her
resignation at Huron County
Council's June 21 committee of the
whole meeting after a lengthy
closed -to -the -public session.
With tears in her eyes she
told councillors and members
of the public in the gallery that
she had been commuting from
Kingston to Goderich for some time
and that it was now time for her to
take the next step in her life and in
her career.
Orchard will now assume the
CAO position at Lennox and
Addington later this summer.
After making her announcement,
Orchard had high praise for council
and Huron County staff.
"This is the best job I've ever
had and this is the best council
I've ever had and this is
absolutely the best senior staff
that I've ever had," she said, adding
that she was proud of the changes
that had been made at the county
during her time, including efforts to
increase transparency and staff
reporting to council.
"This is magic," she said of Huron
County. "This is the way it's
supposed to be ""
After making her emotional
announcement, Orchard advised
council of the next steps in
the process, saying that a transition
and hiring committee should be
appointed and an interim CAO
should be appointed for August
until a new permanent CAO is
hired.
Warden Jim Ginn, Past -Warden
Paul Gowing, Huron East Mayor
Bernie MacLellan and South
Huron Mayor Maureen Cole were
appointed to serve on the hiring
committee with a bylaw appointing
an interim CAO due to come to
council for its July meeting.
