Walton WI group visits Falhaven for mystery tour Ah! Back to normal this week around the Walton area. The TransCan motocross saw many local groups helping out from the Walton Sports Club to the Brussels Blyth Minor hockey group and others. Many tired folks, but a job well done by all. Congratulations to Michael and Heather McDonald on the birth of a son, John Memphis. A welcome addition to the family. Get well wishes go to Marjory Humphries as she recovers from leg surgery. We hope she has a speedy recovery. Unfortunately, Audrey Hackwell’s stay at Huronlea was shortlived as she is a patient in Stratford Hospital again. We hope she is soon well enough to come back to Brussels. There is one less house on the 16th of Grey. The old house on the farm of Tim Fritz was demolished last week and now just the new one remains. The ladies of the Walton Women’s Institute went on a mystery tour last Wednesday. The group of women went to Falhaven Farms, the lily farm of Mike Falconer. They then went to the new restaurant down at the harbour in Goderich. Ladies enjoying the day away included Helen Craig, Brenda Perrie, Ruth Axtmann, Marion Godkin and Margaret McInroy. Joel Dalton is home for a short while. He is keeping busy visiting family and applying for a firefighting job in Ontario. He is in the west working at a fire station that is always on call for oil rig fires. It was a very successful fundraising day in Seaforth for Rebecca Kipfer Pryce. There was golf, a meal, a penny auction, a silent auction and prizes and donations and a great crowd to participate in some or all of the events. Another example of the community pulling together to support a family in time of need. Summer is the time for reunions and our family is no exception. The Stevens’ side of the family gathered at the home of Neil McDonald in Bayfield on Sunday afternoon. Aunt Marg Rogerson is the matriarch of the family and she welcomed all attending. There were 20 in attendance from Guelph, London, New Hamburg, Clinton, Port Elgin and Vancouver. We enjoyed a nice social afternoon and then a potluck supper with barbecued meat provided by Neil. Get well wishes go to Jim Bowman as he recovers from knee replacement. Good luck and get well soon! Congratulations to the granddaughter of George and Pat Langlois who was married on the weekend. Maurissa Meyers is the daughter of Bill and Susan Meyers who wed Jess Clough of London. They wore beautiful white strapless dresses and their attendants wore grey dresses with orange accessories. The wedding featured a cottage theme in the backyard of her parents’ home in Clinton. The couple stood on a wooden dock with two canoes filled with flowers on each side. The supper and reception was held at the Clinton Community Centre. Pat and George were called upon to make a speech and as usual George couldn’t get a word in. Pat had the crowd laughing from the beginning to the end. The happy couple will honeymoon in New Orleans and will reside in London. The Walton Hall was the venue for two Blyth Festival dinners on the weekend each featuring roast beef. The Friday night crew was Jo-Ann McDonald, Judy Lee, Judy Emmrich and Barb Durrell for the crowd of 34. The Saturday night crew was the same but without Barb helping. The 36 diners enjoyed dinner before attending the show at the Blyth Festival. Celebrating birthdays last week included Shawn Flaxbard, Christine Gulutzen, Nicole McIntosh, Emerson Mitchell, Gloria Wilbee, Terri Gultuzen, Pat Nolan, Bradley Shortreed, Blaine Hackwell, Cheryl Lee, Earl Pennington, Sarah Fraser, Kelly Hackwell, Brent Godkin and Sandra Zwep.

By Jo-Ann McDonald Call 887-6570 PEOPLE AROUND WALTON NEWS FROM WALTON House party marks Workmans’ 50th anniversary Frank and Kathy Workman celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Sunday, welcoming friends and family members to their home to help mark the occasion. It was on Aug. 21, 1965 that Kathy Craig, the daughter of Donna and Mel Craig of Browntown Road in Morris Township, married Frank Workman, son of Belle and Harry of RR3, Brussels, also in Morris Township in an evening ceremony at the Bluevale United Church. The service was overseen by Rev. G. Mitchell. Frank’s best man was David Marks and his ushers were Bill Workman (now deceased), Bob Taylor and Allan Craig, while Kathy’s maid of honour was Mary Martin and her bridesmaid was Joan Brewer. After the wedding, Frank and Kathy headed for Ottawa and northern Ontario for their honeymoon. After the honeymoon, the couple returned to East Huron, where they have lived at the corner of Fisher and McNabb Lines for 49 years. Frank made his living as an electrician, working for Gordon Workman until May, 1977, when he and Kathy established F. Workman Electric, which specialized in farm, home and industrial wiring. Kathy worked as a bookkeeper for the family business, while also working part-time with the Huron County Health Unit. Kathy retired in 2007 and Frank followed shortly thereafter in 2008. Frank and Kathy have two children: Craig and Lisa Workman of London and Peter Workman of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, and two grandchildren, Duncan and Everett Workman – the sons of Lisa and Craig. Frank has been an active member of the Brussels Lions Club for 36 years. He is also an associate member of the Brussels Legion, an active volunteer with the North Huron Food Share and a long-time supporter of the Brussels United Church. Kathy is an avid gardener and a long-time member of the Brussels and District Horticultural Society. She is also an active member of the Brussels United Church congregation and a volunteer with its Soup and More II initiative. The pair celebrated their milestone at their home with an outdoor party. Special guests included Kathy’s aunt Mary Taylor of Belgrave and friends and relatives from London, Yellowknife, Kitchener, Owen Sound, Hamilton and from throughout Huron County. Greetings were received from Frank’s brothers in Alberta. Frank and Kathy say they enjoyed the company of many relatives, friends and neighbours on Sunday. The good times continued during a beef-on-a-bun and salad dinner that featured plenty of conversation and the sharing of many memories. Kathy says the celebration was the perfect way to mark the occasion, with plenty of food generously donated by guests to the North Huron Food Share. Ask A Financial Advisor What is Market Volatility? Brian Hilt - Financial Advisor 19 Main St. N Bayfield, ON N0M 1G0 (519) 565-2700 brian.hilt@edwardjones.com Member - Canadian Investor Protection Fund Volatility is a fact of life for investors. But you can manage volatility to reduce its impact on your portfolio. Volatility is the tendency of securities or markets to rise and fall over a short period. Large swings equal high volatility. More moderate swings represent lower volatility. For short-term investors, volatility illustrates the fact that higher risk goes hand in hand with higher returns potential. If you have the potential to make a lot of money you often have the potential to lose a lot as well. Less volatile investments may not have the same potential for windfall profits, but they usually don't have the same degree of downside risk. You can manage the volatility of your portfolio by holding investments whose volatility varies. All major asset classes should also be represented in your portfolio. Individual asset classes don't always move in tandem, and they seldom fluctuate to the same degree at the same time. You can also reduce volatility's impact by taking a long-term approach to investing. This way short-term fluctuations in markets or individual securities won't matter as much. It's the end result that counts, not what happens along the way. Have a question you want answered here? Ask Brian by phone or email.

The relay will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. that day at the Brussels Pool. The event is the same day as the year-end Western Ontario Athletic Association (WOAA) Bantam softball tournament in Brussels, so Dunbar says it should be a bustling day in the village. As part of the softball tournament, parents of the local Bantam players will be hosting a charity barbecue, the proceeds of which will benefit the family of Sean and Emily Mitchell and the Ronald McDonald House. For more information about the event, members of the public are encouraged to ask any Brussels firefighter about it.
