Historic automobile group visits area PEOPLE AROUND WALTON Dining out Graeme Craig, right, of Walton was one of the lucky diners who enjoyed some smoked pork chops at the Winthrop Community Ball Park on July 6. The pork chop dinner, a fundraiser for the site, was put on by volunteers like, from left: Trish McLellan, Amy McClure and Kyla Van D ru nen. (Denny Scott photo) Local family hosts Madill prom The off-site prom for the graduates of Madill was held at the farm of Tim Fritz. It was organized expertly by Daniel Fritz. Some of the group gathered on Friday for the decorating of the lovely tent on site for the party. Many of the attendees brought in campers and tents and stayed on site for the event. The coach buses arrived to pick up the excited group and it was off to Goderich to the beach for pictures and then back again to party. It was by ticket only, wristbands required and adult supervision on site. There were over 100 in attendance and the group had a great time. Lots of music and fun to end school and kick off a summer of work and then to college or university in the fall. Good bye high school! By Jo -Ann McDonald Call 887-6570 An exciting and interesting event happened around the Brussels area on the weekend. The Radar Circle Region of the Historical Automobile Society of Canada held their annual family weekend and picnic. The hosts were Don and Susan McNeil and family and their base camp was at the Dave Smith Retreat. The campers started to arrive on Friday evening to camp and enjoy a barbecue, followed by entertainment by Haley McNeil, daughter of Dan and Jen. Saturday morning they enjoyed a continental breakfast supplied by the campers and then started their day's tour. They went to Ron and Betty McCallum's for a tour of Ron's collectibles. They enjoyed lunch of beef on a bun and tarts supplied by the McCallums. They went to tour the Cowboy Loft and the Armstrong Aerodome. They continued to Blyth to tour Everett Hessel's antique cars. They returned to Brussels and viewed the construction of the Four Winds Barn, Brussels Dam and then Council surprised by nuclear waste report By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen With the news earlier this month that Central Huron was out of the running as a Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) deep geological repository site, councillors said they were just as surprised as the public. Mayor Jim Ginn spoke to the issue at council's July 4 meeting, saying that the organization's decision came as "quite a surprise" to him and his fellow councillors. He said he was dismayed to come out of a meeting with NWMO representatives with very few answers. He said the representatives told him there was a lack of support for the project in Central Huron. Whether that meant from council and staff or from the general public, he wasn't sure, but Ginn said he had few answers about the municipality being dismissed as a candidate to pass along to residents. Central Huron was not the only community dropped from the process during this most recent phase, he said, as the Township of White River was also removed from AD CENTRA the running as a host of the site. There are three communities that remain in the running for the site: Ignace, Blind River and Elliot Lake. The organization's press release stated that NWMO would continue its field activities in those communities, while also engaging with the municipal, First Nation and Metis communities. FROM WALTON went to see Don McNeil's shop. They returned to the campground and parked their cars in a circle for an aerial photo taken by Bruce Armstrong. They then enjoyed a catered meal by Peter and Terry Grey. The evening concluded with fireworks provided by Dave Smith. The Sunday morning breakfast for the near 60 people in attendance was provided by the McNeils and was enjoyed by all. The McNeil family had a wonderful weekend hosting the car event for the region. Their family also enjoyed a great family time together even though it involved the organizing and the work. The four granddaughters of Don and Susan spent hours fishing at the pond and were so excited to be catching fish! They also had grandson Dylan McNeil and girlfriend Jessica McNichol stop for prom pictures with the Little Red Antique Truck. The pair were attending the off-site prom for the Grade 12 graduates of F.E. Madill. I am sure everyone would enjoy the exciting weekend organized by Don and Susan. Congrats to all!
