MEETING NOTICE
Municipality of
Morris-Turnberry
The upcoming meetings for the
Municipality of Morris-Turnberry will be held:
Tuesday, November 3 at 7:30 p.m. Regular Council Meeting

Tuesday, November 17 at 7:30 p.m. Regular Council Meeting

More seasonal weather has arrived
with cool mornings and nights, but
some pleasant afternoon
temperatures. It makes it hard to
know how to dress, but layers are
always the best bet.
There are many sad baseball fans
around after the Toronto Blue Jays
lost Game 6 of the American League
Championship series to the Kansas
City Royals last Friday evening. The
hope of Canadians fans to have the
Jays playing in the World Series
were dashed in a nail-biting ninth
inning. Our consolation is that
Canadians were united in a common
goal to cheer on our great Canadian
team. Everyone talked about the
Jays, watched the Jays, dressed as
the Jays and now will share in the
disappointment of the Jays. Great
year, great job Jays and now we will
wait until next year and start hoping
and cheering all over again!
If I was a betting person, I would
bet that the Blue Jays games were
part of the conversation at the
Brussels birthday girls monthly
party. The October babies included
Betty Cardiff and Laura Barbour.
The group gathered as JR’s to enjoy
a ham and scalloped potato dinner.
They were 17 strong in number
including the two birthday girls plus
Isabelle Wheeler, Betty
McCutcheon, Jane Hall, Betty
Campbell, Bev Palmer, Marie
McCutcheon, Nelva Scott, Alice
Marks, Leona Armstrong, Lois
McCutcheon, Merle Cousins, Marci
Bremner, Audrey Cardiff, Dale
Chesher and Nora Stephenson.
Happy birthday ladies!
Leona Armstrong made it home
from her sisters’ yearly get-together
trip in time for the birthday party.
Leona had joined her sisters, Helen
McLean ( St. Catharines) and Doris
McKinley (London) for a four day
trip to Mackinac Island. They went
to with Hanover Tours and she
reports it was wonderful. They
stayed in Frankenmuth, Michigan
the first night of their journey to the
island. They went by boat across to
the Island, where they were picked
up by horse drawn wagons. There
are no cars on the island, so
horsepower is one way to get
around. The island has bicycles as
the alternative to horses for
transportation.
They stayed at the Grand Hotel –
a magnificent building. It features a
660-foot porch, the longest in the
world. Beautiful rooms and the ritual
of serving “high tea” is observed
everyday. A harpist played every
evening and the ladies were waited
on hand and foot.
It was a lovely trip and the colours
of the trees were breathtaking.
Leona reports a lovely trip was
enjoyed by the three sisters.
Our condolences to the Watson
family on the passing of Alma
Watson. She will be missed by her
children Ralph, John and Mary and
their families. A lovely lady that I
had only met a few times over the
years. Our sympathies to all
Our condolences to the family of
Ross Nichol, who passed away last
week. He will be missed by his
children Margaret, Hugh and Paul
and their families and step-children
Gayle and Janet and families. Ross
was a very quiet man and always
pleasant to speak with. He was a
farmer and a bus driver,
who is remembered fondly by his
former students. Our sympathies
to all.
Our condolences to the family of
Ruth Schade, formerly of
Winthrop/Walton area. She will be
missed by daughters Jane and Nancy
and their families. Ruth had made
her home at Maplewood Retirement
Home in Seaforth the last few years
and will be missed for her fun-loving
ways by all. Our sympathies to all.
Our condolences to Marni and
Steve Knight and family on the
passing of Marni’s sister Flo. Marni
had been in B.C. with her and our
thoughts and prayers are with her at
this difficult time. Our sympathy to
all.
The final event at the Walton
Raceway was held on the weekend.
The mudbog races had a good
turnout of a variety of vehicles. Hard
to tell what they were after playing
in the mud! Time for the Raceway
crew to rest and start making plans
for next year’s events!
Celebrating birthdays this past
week include Brett Lee, Lois
McCall, Janice McCallum
McGillvary, Michael Parr, Doug
Bauer, Wayne Todd, Andrew
Groothuis, Teresa Baan, Tanner
Leslie, Dan Taylor, Megan Flaxbard,
Murray Dennis, Douglas Wey,

Wild weather welcome
While the heavy rain over the weekend may have been cursed by some as it caused
cancellations of events, for an event like the mudbog, the final event at the Walton Raceway for
the season, it was perfect. Trucks and their drivers tried to keep slogging through the deep mud
at the track on Sunday hoping to win first prize in the event. (Photo submitted)
