Brian Hilt - Financial Advisor 19 Main St. N Bayfield, ON N0M 1G0 (519) 565-2700 brian.hilt@edwardjones.com Member - Canadian Investor Protection Fund Thinking about death or disability may not be pleasant, but it’s important to have an effective strategy to help avoid financial hardship if unforeseen circumstances arise. Your financial safety net could consist of different types of insurance – including life, disability, long-term care and critical illness. Life insurance protection can provide funds to offset the financial loss created by the death of a breadwinner. Disability insurance replaces a portion of your income if a serious illness or injury prevents you from working. Critical illness insurance provides a tax-free lump sum, usually 30 days after you are diagnosed with a covered condition such as a heart attack, stroke or cancer. And long-term care insurance provides tax-free income to help offset the costs of long-term care services, whether they’re provided by a facility or in your own home. Speak to your financial advisor to help you determine the specifics of insurance coverage that makes sense for you, taking into account your own unique needs and circumstances. Insurance is offered by Edward Jones Insurance Agency (except in Quebec). In Quebec, insurance is offered by Edward Jones Insurance Agency (Quebec) Inc. Have a question you want answered here?

Unfortunately, the abundance of rain is causing more problems for the bean crop. There are fields out there with very sparse beans in them. Time is soon running out for replanting according to experts, but welcome to summer! Another new baby for Walton grandparents. Patty Banks is happy to report a grandson born to daughter Cassandra and partner Sheldon. They have welcomed baby boy Nash Geoffrey to their lives. Nash will be welcomed home by big sister Regan. Congratulations to all! It is reunion time when it is summer. The Walton Hall was the venue for the hosting of the McNabb family gathering. Rick and Margaret McInroy were the hosts for the event. About 30 people enjoyed lunch, an afternoon of visiting, and then clean-up, with leftovers plus some pork chops for supper. They spent most of the day with folks coming and going. The McNabb connection comes from Margaret’s grandmother’s side of the family. The Craig reunion was held at the home of Graeme and Helen Craig on Saturday. They had a good turnout of family to enjoy fun, swimming, food and visiting for the day. Returning from a trip to the east coast are many members of the Knight family. The first to head east was Marni Knight. She had to go to St. John’s, Newfoundland for her work. She spent time in St. John’s, Clarenville, Eastport and Gander. She reports seeing many majestic icebergs when heading to Gander and they were awesome! A few days later, more Knights headed east, including Jack, Brad and Christine Knight, to visit with Dr. Janine Knight in St. John’s. They enjoyed time touring Signal Hill, Cape Spear, Petty Harbour and Belle Island. Evenings were spent with Janine enjoying family time and visiting. Janine is soon leaving St. John’s and heading for Goose Bay, Labrador to continue her last year of residency. Marni met up with the rest of the family to enjoy time with Janine also. The Knights were away for a week to 10 days for some, and report a great time. A beautiful part of the country they recommend everyone should see. Members of the Walton Women’s Institute met at the home of Margaret McInroy last week. The group of six women enjoyed their day and the topic was water. Congratulations to Mike and Tess Lefor on their wedding celebration last weekend. The couple were wed a few months ago and held a celebration party for family and friends on the Lefor family farm last weekend. Congrats to Mike and Tess! A perfect weekend for racing at the Walton Raceway. They had two days of racing with Sunday being a qualifier race for the big Transcan race held in August. There was a great turnout for both days. Celebrating birthdays this past week include Dawson Dunbar, Kiara Driscoll, Margaret McInroy, Sue Hannon, Adam McClure, Tyson McGavin, Dianne Godkin, Wenda Humphries, Carolyn Sullivan, Kevin Flaxbard, Kelly Godkin, Chase Hackwell, Ruth Sauve Schade, Jill Fritz, Mary Humphries, Maya Armstrong, Quinn Driscoll and Kendra Wilts. Happy birthday to all.

The class, which is the most senior at the school, received certificates marking their graduation before taking to their instruments. (Denny Scott photo) NWES Bus driver recognized Murray Hoover celebrated 50 years of driving a school bus for North Woods Elementary School and its predecessor Grey Central Public School earlier this week. As part of a special assembly which saw the school bidding farewell to its senior-most class, the Grade 6 students, Hoover was also recognized for the time he spent behind the wheel. It was mentioned by school staff that Hoover has been driving for the school since the day the building opened (as Grey Central) in 1965. Hoover received some gifts from the students and parents on his bus route as well as from the school’s students and staff. He was personally thanked by Principal Wendy Armstrong-Gibson, School Board Superintendent of Business and Treasurer Janet Baird-Jackson and John Chapman, who bought the school board’s buses earlier this century and formed Newry Coach Lines for whom Hoover has been working all those years. After taking part in a dramatized version of “The Wheels on the Bus,” Hoover spoke to the audience and said that he was pleasantly surprised by the recognition. “This is a wonderful day I’ll never forget,” he said. “This school have been kind of a second home to me.” Hoover said that the last 50 years have been filled with great memories with the kids, the school’s staff and his colleagues. “I wish I took notes,” he said. “I could have written a book about all the great times,” he said. “This is a great moment for me. Thank you very much.” Hoover, according to Chapman, just renewed his licence for ‘the last time’, so Chapman hopes to see Hoover continue driving for another four or five years. ‘The Wheels on the Bus’ As part of a celebration of his 50 years on the job, North Woods Elementary School bus driver Murray Hoover, shown sitting, took part in a special dramatization of the song ‘The Wheels on the Bus’. Hoover has been on the job driving children to and from the school since its doors opened 50 years ago and he was honoured by the school, school board and his employers during a special assembly at the school on Monday. Shown celebrating with Hoover are, from left, Agatha Wall, Ayden Marsh and Ennalise Sharp.
