minutes. 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. The group was
welcomed by Valerie Shortreed and
the bride Jennifer, her mother Heidi,
her mother-in-law-to-be, Nelcha
Van Dreil and grandmother, Hannah
Nater were all introduced. Melissa
Beacom presented a reading and
Gloria Wilbee sang a number.
Matron of honour, Krista
(Shortreed) Verkley read the address
and then the gifts were presented to
Jennifer. Jennifer thanked all those
attending for the lovely gifts and a
light lunch was enjoyed by all.
A gathering of Moncrieff Road
neighbours in Morris was held at the
cabin of Clara Blake. The party was
to meet the young couple who live
on the line, Bob Smith and Tara
Williams. They are to be married in
September and have been living and
renovating the home next to Jim and
Evelyn Blake’s, the former McCall
farm. 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.

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

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.
