Edge of Walton sets precedent with outdoor wedding
Continued from page 2
intelligently on Knight’s
performance, having only dealt with
him at meetings.
He said that Mayor Bernie
MacLellan and Deputy-Mayor Joe
Steffler should be carrying out the
evaluation process because they
both spend the most time working
with Knight and have served for a
number of terms of council.
In his third and final point,
Chartrand said that he did support a
review of Knight’s performance,
however, and was appalled that it
hadn’t happened earlier.
He said he couldn’t believe that
Knight’s work hadn’t been
examined further over the course of
the last four and a half years.
MacLellan said that council has
attempted to carry out a job
evaluation every two years or so, but
admittedly got behind after being
bogged down with a number of large
issues facing the municipality.
Brussels Councillor John Lowe
also said he wasn’t going to fill out
the form, simply because he didn’t
feel comfortable with it – a
sentiment that was echoed by
several other councillors.
No motion came as a result of the
resistance to the job evaluation.
CAO evaluation declined
It was another week of weather
that goes from hot to cool, wet and
dry, calm and windy. It covers it all
in southwestern Ontario. A beautiful
weekend for a wedding indeed.
Congratulations to Martin
Boettcher and his wife Maria who
were married on the family farm on
Saturday. Martin is the son of Chris
and Gabby Boettcher. The newly-
weds will reside on Moncrieff Road
across from the Boettcher home
farm. Maria is from Germany and
her family was welcomed to the
Boettcher farm on the Thursday
before the wedding. Congrats to the
young couple.
A first for the Edge of Walton was
the hosting venue for an outdoor
wedding on Saturday. The happy
couple of Pat Devereaux and Nicole
Lemon were married at the site. It
was quite a surprise for the 150
people who attended that evening.
The invitations were sent inviting all
to an engagement party celebration.
When the guests arrived, it was to
find it was a wedding instead.
Surprise! The outdoor area had a
solid dance floor, with corner posts
holding strings of bright white
lights, beautiful Chinese lanterns,
back drops of old windows and
doors decorated with pictures and
floral arrangements. Following the
wedding ceremony, a delicious
dinner arrived and music followed.
The children even had a bouncy
castle to play on for entertainment.
Pat is the son of Mike and Faye
Devereaux and Nicole, the daughter
of Brent and Shirley Lemon.
Congrats to the couple!
Returning from a month-long
vacation driving to western Canada
to visit with family are Lorne and
Bonnie Glanville. They went to
Melford, Saskatchewan to visit with
Alec and Gail Glanville and then to
Prince Albert to visit with Art
Glanville. Then they headed to High
Prairie to visit with their son Paul
and Teresa and granddaughters
Megan and Erica. They spent 10
days with the family, sightseeing
around the area, going to Banff and
to the ice fields. They spent Canada
Day with the RCMP officers of
Paul’s detachment. They had a great
day and even had fireworks. Bonnie
went horseback riding with them.
When it was time to head home,
they decided to come home through
the U.S. They went through Montana
and North Dakota and saw Mount
Rushmore and went to Deadwood,
the authentic wild west town. They
saw where they are building a
monument to Crazy Horse and other
great sites. They made they way back
leisurely and stopped, of course, to
buy tractor parts. They had some
very hot days, up to 39°C some days,
but felt no humidity. They managed
to see moose, deer and mountain
sheep while on their travels.
Welcome back Lorne and Bonnie.
Another Walton couple has also
been away for a vacation to visit
with family. Don and Pat Dalton
made the trip to visit with son Joel in
Fort St. John. They transported some
of Joel’s belongings to him. Joel is
an industrial firefighter and Don and
Pat had a chance to tour the fire
station. There has not been much fire
work for Joel, as there is a fire ban in
his area and his is a speciality fire
training. They travelled to the west
via Michigan and North Dakota and
then went up through Saskatchewan
into Alberta, then B.C. They spent
five days there touring the Peace
River area and it is beautiful with
many breathtaking look-out areas.
They enjoyed the drive down
through the interior of B.C. almost to
the bottom and then travelled east
through Alberta, Saskatchewan,
Manitoba and Northern Ontario to
come home. They travelled 10,000
kilometres and saw a brown bear
along the way. The only province
they smelled smoke in was
Saskatchewan, and it was hot, hot,
hot! Welcome back to the Daltons.
Congratulations to first-time
grandparents Brian and Roslynn
Schlosser on the birth of their
grandchild. The proud parents are
Curtis and Kendall Schlosser and
they have welcomed a beautiful baby
girl, named Norah to the family.
They live in Calgary, Alberta.
Kendall’s parents are Gord and
Janice (Houston) Carnochan of
Seaforth. Both sets of grandparents
are planning trips to the west to see
the newest addition.
The Glanville family reunion was
held on Sunday at the Winthrop Ball
Park and Pavilion. There were nearly
125 people attending the afternoon
of fun and games, and even a bouncy
castle before the sumptuous and
bounteous potluck meal. Family
members from Saskatchewan, Alec,
Gail, Melody and Steve attended to
enjoy the great day with relatives.
Congratulations to Pat and George
Langlois on celebrating their 57th
wedding anniversary last week.
They enjoyed a family dinner at the
Docks in Bayfield to celebrate the
day.
The Pan Am games have begun in
Toronto and my children, Lee Ann,
Kelly and Scott, went to enjoy two
events. They first went to the BMO
Field to watch Lee Ann’s favourite
game of rugby. The Canadian Ladies
Sevens team played against the U.S.
and defeated them 55-7, to win the
gold medal. They then went to watch
the Canadian softball team play in
Oshawa against Colombia and they
defeated them 10-3. The Canadian
team have a 2-0 record. They said it
was an amazing experience and they
enjoyed both events.
Celebrating birthdays this past
week include Russell Pryce, Devon
McCutcheon, Steve Fritz, Mitchell
Ryan, Lorna Fraser, Neil Mitchell,
Melanie Kirkby, Emma Johnston,
Brenda Finlayson, Jackson Janmaat,
Alicia Dalton, Nick Shahshahani,
Doreen Hackwell, Ed McClure,
Monica Ryan, Tracey McKee,
Andrea Bremner, Gloria Love and
Jackie Glanville. Happy birthday to
all!
