Locals mark birthdays, anniversaries with celebrations PEOPLE AROUND WALTON By Jo -Ann McDonald Call 887-6570 What a wonderful weekend for Canada Day celebrations! A little bit of rain early Friday and then only improvement from then on. We celebrated Canada Day by going to the Hamilton Tiger Cats game with some of our family. Rick and I were joined by daughter LeeAnn and Craig and Rick's brother Neil. The roads were certainly busy with people heading to campsites across the area, while some folks just stayed at home. Firework displays started on Thursday evening and continued throughout the weekend. We could see some beautiful displays in almost every direction as we left the city of Hamilton. Happy birthday Canada! Neil McDonald is home to Bayfield for a few weeks. He has some landscaping plans on his agenda, the S.S. #11 school reunion to attend and to host the Stevens OPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL your owed moot IP ENETy ;owl }w meet. nareihiog a. ng and make your Optimism dl for Ihr bos and lo expect alsassuare el BRUSSELS OPTIMIST CLUB BRtLSSFLS, ONTARIO NOC; 1 HO 1973 DATE a 0 1 4c L a 7 t V y Y M M p 0 PAY TO II II the Rroer n1 OQ' tt�mIU tr� oo m l}CT/ - floxL 1:u.% '[loss dj ( i f - Doc - OG DOLLARS Toa (ABC C41EAr1WN IMPERIAL RANK OF COMMERCE 000 20 flOHSSELS.

The club donated $2,000 which will go towards a walk-in freezer for the food share which will greatly enhance the frozen foods the organization can store and offer. The freezer installation will happen soon as the organization continues to raise money for the project.

No doubt he will be tired out before he heads back to Vancouver. Enjoying a few days away on the bikes were Gerry and Anne Ryan and Don and Pat Dalton. They were out to see the beautiful waterfalls of our northern area. They met with friends from the Forest area to do the tour. They were in the Horseshoe Valley area where they saw Walters Falls, Eugenie Falls, Inglis Falls and Hogg Falls They were away three days and enjoyed nice hot weather. Congratulations to Renze and Klasina VanderPloeg on celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary on Saturday evening. The party was held at their home with about 100 friends and guests to enjoy the evening. We are pleased to hear that Jean Bridge is now back to Seaforth Hospital and working on her rehab. We hope she is soon well enough to be home again. Only two weeks to go before the big S.S. #11 school reunion. A final meeting to confirm preparations was held last week and the group is hoping for well over 50 to attend. There are still a few folks they have not been able to find, so any former school chums you know, pass on the message to come to the party. They can contact Graeme Craig, Janet Webster, Linda Gingerich or Wenda Humphries. A birthday gathering was held for the family and a few friends of Lorne Glanville on Sunday afternoon at the home of son, Robert and Jackie Glanville. They gathered to celebrate Lorne's 70th birthday. Beside the immediate family members, Don FROM WALTON and Pat Dalton and Clyde and Cathy McClure attended. Celebrating the first of July birthdays include Linkin McCallum, Julie Wharton and Colton Van Driel. Birthdays continue with Dianne Baan, Sherry Taylor, Craig Baan, Merton Hackwell, Jeffrey Linton, Ken Pethick, Michael Ryan, Hope Williamson, Burt Lobb, Jonathon Blake, Allison Stevenson, Ralph Bos, Dianne Blake, Lorne Glanville and Brad Knight. Happy birthday to all! Open 24 Hours Blyth Laundromat 191 Westmoreland St., Blyth 519-523-9687 r Find a job or advertise a job on the Jobs In Huron section of our website www.northhuron.on.ca Citizen availability in case of a postal strike Following a breakdown between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), the union is in a position to take some sort of job action beginning soon which could disrupt delivery of your copy of The Citizen. Because we don't know when or how this action might take place it's difficult to make alternative plans for delivery of your paper. During the last postal disruption in 2011 CUPW began rotating strikes but Canada Post soon decided to lock out union members. Many local post offices such as Blyth, Brussels and the smaller hamlets are not operated by CUPW personnel but Canada Post refused in 2011 to let them accept and deliver local mail such as The Citizen. We don't know what rules will be imposed at local Canada Post offices in the event of a strike this time. If there is a complete shutdown of the system we will attempt to find alternative ways of getting The Citizen as close as possible to your home. Until we know what the situation is, however, the one thing we can promise is that if all else fails you can pick up your copy at our Blyth of Brussels offices, depending were you live.
