They toured the Magnificent Mile- the area of the very rich with fabulous houses to see. Jean reports the city is very clean, has a beautiful beach and would recommend the tour to all. Duff’s United Church was the venue for the community shower for Jennifer McClure on Friday evening of the long weekend. There was a good crowd of about 50 in attendance.

There were about 30 or so neighbours gathered to visit and enjoy the evening of food and drinks. A small game was played with the couple to see how well they knew each other and they passed with flying colours. A community gift was presented to the couple. Bob and Tara thanked everyone for coming and they were pleased to meet so many of the folks on the line and for the lovely gift . They also thanked Clara, Evelyn and Jim Blake for hosting the wonderful evening. The fire trucks were called to Parrish & Heimbecker in Walton last week. There was a small fire in the dryer of wheat dust which was contained very quickly. Firefighters from Grey and Brussels were on the scene for about an hour. Holidaying in Brussels during July were Weldon, Joanne, Andrew and Allison Black from St. John, New Brunswick. They had a relaxing time visiting with Jack and Donna Knight, Brad and Christine and Steve and Marni Knight. A trip to Toronto to a ball game was a time consuming adventure with the abundance of traffic, but that can happen! They have returned home again and the Knight household is once again quiet. Holidaying in Bayfield from Calgary were Brian and Linda Marks. They enjoyed a week’s vacation and spent time visiting with mom Maxine Marks and Blaine and family and Sharon Pryce and family. Jean Bewley has had her daughter Brenda Raven from Airdrie, Alberta holidaying for a week. Jean reports she was getting tired out trying to keep up with Brenda and the many jobs she was finding to do. Brenda spent an afternoon visiting in Bayfield with Karin McDonald. It was party time at the home of Ron and Betty McCallum on the weekend. They held an invited open house for their new building to showcase Ron’s magnificent collection of John Deere toy tractors, antique John Deere tractor and restored Chevy Nova car. The afternoon included a tour of the building and then a dinner. Visiting among friends and then a fireworks display for about an hour concluded the day. Brandon McGavin has been in the area for a couple of weeks. He spent time visiting with the family, played ball with the Brewers and caught up with friends before returning to Alberta and to the farm where he is working. Nice to see you Brandon! A group of young men spent the weekend on houseboats. The men were celebrating the upcoming wedding of Steve Henderson. The group of nearly 20 headed to Bobcaygeon and spent two days upon the houseboats. They went swimming, fishing and toured through a couple of locks on the Trent Severin water system. The group of friends were from Walton/Seaforth area including Scott McDonald, Brandon, Devin Blake and Chris Blake. I spent quality time with my daughters and daughter-in-law one day last week. We went to Toronto to a taping of CityLine. It was an early start to the day to be in Toronto by 9:30 in the morning, but we made it. The show featured segments on food, fashion, technology, health and getting ready to send your child to preschool. We were sitting in the front row, which you may think was great, but there were cameras and folks in the line of sight quite regularly. The process of how the show is filmed is very interesting . What seems to be a large set on screen, is a small room, with roll-out desks and settings, changed between segments. Clap and smile were the instructions before starting. It took about an hour and a half to shoot the hour show. Audience members received four free gifts and there were draws for a dozen other prizes. We were not lucky on the other prizes, but we received a $20 gift card from H&M, which we used at the store across the street. We enjoyed lunch, shopped a little and then homeward bound.

Sale marks 106 head of veal Huron County – Huron County has its first probable human case of West Nile virus this year. “Although exposure may have occurred outside of Huron County,” says Environmental Health Manager, Jean-Guy Albert, “we know the virus is currently being carried in Ontario’s bird and mosquito populations and a bite from an infected mosquito is all it takes for a person to be exposed to the West Nile virus.” The last confirmed human case of West Nile virus in Huron County was in 2007. Although the risk of infection for residents is low, it’s important to protect yourself and children. Keep mosquitoes from entering your home by repairing or replacing screens on windows and doors. When you go outdoors, remember to: • Use bug repellant that contains DEET, and follow the direction carefully • Wear long-sleeved tops, long pants, socks and shoes • Limit the time you spend outdoors at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. Most people infected with the virus don’t get sick, but if you have flu-like symptoms that won’t go away, call your doctor immediately. Watch for: • Fever • Headache • Stiff neck • Weak muscles • Skin rash • Swollen glands In rare cases, West Nile virus can lead to a swelling of the brain and spinal cord or death. For information about West Nile virus, visit http://huronhealth unit.com/wnv or speak to a public health inspector at 519-482-3416. Possible West Nile case found Hoping to bring both the perspectives of youth and of a woman to Huron East Council, Allison Dekroon was acclaimed to the position of McKillop Ward councillor on Tuesday night. Dekroon handed in her nomination papers late last month and when the nomination period closed on Aug. 2, she was the only person who had come forward seeking the position, says Huron East Chief Administrative Officer Brad Knight. The secretary of Huron East Against Turbines (HEAT) says her opposition to wind turbines in the area was the driving force behind her decision to seek the position. The McKillop Ward councillor position became vacant earlier this year when Councillor Bill Siemon resigned during a battle with cancer. Siemon passed away several weeks later, leaving the position vacant indefinitely. Dekroon is a Stratford native who works as an occasional teacher with the Avon Maitland District School Board. Recent circulation figures show The Citizen has the highest circulation in the northern part of Huron County, #3 in the entire county.
