Madill students excel artistically, athletically The much-needed rain finally arrived on the weekend. Many farmers were getting quite concerned with the lack of moisture causing the very uneven germination of the crops. Hopefully, the rain and the heat will cause everything to jump up and even out somewhat, until the next crisis for the farmer. Areas around the Brussels area had received rain before, and some areas, torrential rain, but around here, a nice gently pouring, continuous rain was great. Congratulations to Harvey Smith on celebrating his 90th birthday on the weekend. The Smith family gathered at the home of a granddaughter in Innerkip for the weekend. All of the Smith family were able to attend, including their son from the Kingston area. The families camped on the property and had a barbecue Saturday and then family breakfast on Sunday morning. Harv and Marion stayed at their daughter Brenda’s in Woodstock for the night. Congrats to Harv! We send get well wishes to Sadie Ten Pas as she is a patient in a London hospital after having surgery. We hope she is coming along and will soon be home. We hope Allen Edgar is improving after having a fall and breaking his hip. He is in Stratford Hospital and we hope he is coming along and healing well. Our hopes for a full recovery go out to Zak Goos as he is a patient in hospital after being injured in an automobile accident. He was with some other young men, who were not badly hurt. A severely broken leg is among his injuries. We hope he has a quick and full recovery. Our condolences to Mary Humphries on the sudden passing of her son-in-law Bob Leatham. He was the partner of Wenda Humphries. Our sympathies are extended to the family. They lived in the Arranville area. Many members of the family of Jim Armstrong attended a wedding in Cobourg on the weekend. They went on Friday and spent the weekend there. They attended the wedding of grandson Andrew Armstrong, the son of Robert and Lynn. The crew enjoyed the wonderful wedding festivities of Andrew and Chauntelle and congratulations to all. There should be many proud young men and parents around our area this past week. The F.E. Madill senior and junior boys rugby teams both captured the WOSSA championships recently. There are many players on the team but local players include Hayden TenPas, Brock MacLean, Matt Pipe, Stuart Higgins, Jordan Hubbard, Anden Coultes, Austin Johnston and Dustin Pennington on the senior team. The team advances to the OSSA tournament in Barrie this week. Good luck to the team. The junior team has local players including Nathan Bachert, Dylan McNeil, Dawson Coultes and Brendan. The junior boys do not go to OSSA but have a one day tournament in Fergus called the Barvarian Cup. Congrats to both teams and all the boys and coaches and good luck in the tournaments. Another good reason to have many proud area folks, is the presentation of The Sound of Music put on by F.E. Madill students. It was an excellent performance by the performing cast of almost 20 students, the amazing musicians, about 32, of the F.E. Madill Orchestra, directed by Eric Varillas. The many contributions of the numerous students of the custom woodworking and construction classes of the school, the students of the hairdressing and aesthetics classes of the school and by other behind-the-scene students made for a very successful production. Local students involved as stage performers included Courtney Bachert, Seth Nichol, Johanna Blake, Hayley Rehkopf, Erica Boneschansker and Emily Bloemberg. Orchestra members included Chris and Leanne Exel of Brussels. Congratulations to all. A reminder that the 150th Anniversary of Duff’s United will be celebrated this week with guest speaker Steve Hildebrand of Egmondville. Service is at 10:30 a.m. and the time capsule of 1912 will be opened. Everyone is invited to attend. Celebrating birthdays this past week include Geri-Lee Godkin, Trevor Sutcliffe, Pat Dalton, Johanna Blake, Adam Forbes, Rob Shortreed, Erin Baan, Sister Teresa Ryan, Neil McGavin, Patricia Hackwell Andrades, Ernie Lewington, Scott Henderson, Kyle Pryce, Scott Dalton, Jillian Houston and Jeff Parr. Happy birthday to all.

They studied the work of the Group of Seven before heading out to the school’s Environmental Learning Grounds to give their own paintings a try.

(Vicky Bremner photo) M-T offices slated for renovation Morris-Turnberry’s municipal offices will be getting a facelift this summer, including energy-saving lighting. Nancy Michie, chief administrative officer told council that the new lighting will cut electricity use in half as well as improving working conditions for staff. Workers have complained about eye strain and headaches from the current lighting that was installed in 1985, she said. She estimated savings of $1,200 a year, paying for the estimated $3,628 cost of the new lighting in about three years. In addition, painting the walls will cost $1,650 and installing new carpet will cost $2,065. There is $4,000 in the budget to cover the cost. *** Council approved a new agreement with South Bruce to provide automatic aid if there is a structure fire in an area in the north of Morris Turnberry or the southern area of South Bruce. James Marshall, fire safety officer explained that time is of the essence in the case of a structure fire. Having higher numbers of firefighters on hand quickly can knock down a fire before it can get out of hand. The agreement would mean that Wingham would respond to a fire in the designated area and, if help is needed, it would come from South Bruce’s Teeswater station, rather than having to wait for firefighters from North Huron’s Blyth station to arrive. Wingham would reciprocate in the case of a fire in the southern part of South Bruce. “We know that fire doubles in size every minute,” Marshall said. “If we can cut travel time down at no extra cost it makes sense and increases the safety of our residents.” *** The paving of Clyde Line will be completed this year with a saving from the estimated cost in a cheaper tender approved by council. Morris-Turnberry jointly tendered with North Huron and South Bruce for surface treatment and the municipality’s $144,88.60 share of the total tender of $376,553.54 to Cornell Construction Limited was under the estimate of $150,000. *** Unless an emergency comes up, there will be no council meeting in August. July’s meetings will be July 7 and 21, both at 7:30 p.m. There was some discussion about office hours for July and August with Councillor Jim Nelemans objecting to changes in the normal schedule which he felt would confuse people wanting to come to the office. Despite his concerns council supported the staff plan to be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with staff rotating to cover the hours. By Keith Roulston The Citizen A correction In the May 28 edition of The Citizen, the date for the North Huron Food Share’s Zero K “Non-race” fundraiser was incorrectly identified. The event occurs on Sunday, June 14 in Wingham and not Saturday, June 13 as printed. The Citizen apologizes for the error.
