School holidays are over, alarms
are set and routines are beginning. It
must be fall. It even seems that in
just a week, it is darker at night. It's
time to start music lessons and new
clubs and soon winter sports will
begin and before we know it, it will
be Christmas. Only four months
away!
We hope Gary Evans is feeling
better and is home from a stay in
Stratford Hospital.
The digging began last week on
the old hotel property for the new
venture by Bryan Morton. It will be
interesting to watch the resurrection
of the barn and new structures as
part of revitalizing main street
Brussels.
We say goodbye to Linda TenPas
and her friend Brent as they return to
Chilliwack, British Columbia.
Getting a good start
Long before the first bell of the school year, Grade 9 students visited Central Huron
Secondary School for a special public open house where they could get the lay of the land
and sign up for sports and clubs. Above, teacher Cindy Carter explains the ins and outs of the
clubs and sports to some attentive high school rookies. (Denny Scott photo)
They had a great week visiting and
sightseeing Ontario on Brent's first
visit.
Henk and Agnes joined them on a
tour of Niagara on the Lake and
Niagara Falls for the weekend. It is
always great to have family home
and always sad to see them go.
It was a lovely social event hosted
by Brett and Laura Fischer and
Pioneer Seeds at their farm last
week. Over 100 customers enjoyed a
delicious dinner provided by
Cinnamon Jim's prior to the special
guest speakers. Two very interesting
young ladies spoke on the
importance of educating people as to
where their food comes from and the
second spoke on the importance of
women in farming and empowering
women to become a force and voice
of farming. It was a very nice
evening provided by the Fischer
family and Pioneer.
Congratulations to Brian McGavin
who was named Canadian Reserve
Plow Champion at the Canadian
Plowing Match near Ottawa. Our
hopes are with Brandon McGavin as
he competes at the World's being
held in England.
Congratulations to Daniel Forbes
and his new bride Lori Ann. They
were married in Alberta last week.
Attending nuptials were mother
Laura Forbes and Adam Forbes and
grandparents Murray and Olene
Dennis. Many other members of the
Murray family attended the Western -
themed wedding.

Getting to know the students
Meg Lyoness, left, and Janet Buchanan were on hand for
the special Grade 9 barbecue and orientation day at St.
Anne's Catholic Secondary School in Clinton last week.
The duo worked the grill and fed students and parents as
they learned about the school from existing students,
teachers and staff. (Denny Scott photo)
