Walkerburn Club meets for May
Come on!
Miniature dancers came out in strong numbers on Saturday
night for the Spring Fling in Auburn. The children’s dance
was held as a fundraiser for the Auburn Playground
Committee. The event raised nearly $400 for the new
equipment. (Jim Brown photo)
Eight members of the Walkerburn
Club met at the home of Christena
Gross on May 9. Dorothy Schneider,
the president of the month, opened
the meeting with a poem “Speed is
the King” followed by prayer. Eileen
McClinchey read the minutes of the
last meeting. Roll call was answered
by what members did for Mother’s
Day. Many members had family
home for the day and some families
took a walk through the bush and
enjoyed the spring flowers.
Ila Cunningham gave the
treasurer’s report, showing a nice
balance. During the past month, the
crib quilt, “One, two, buckle my
shoe” was delivered to the
Alzheimer’s Society in Clinton. It
was sold at a silent auction on May
6 and the club members were glad to
hear that $75 was raised for this
worthwhile cause. Last month,
members started two lap quilts.
Members showed what they had
done in the last month and more
material was handed out to finish the
projects with.
It has been decided to have a
picnic on June 26 at 12:30 p.m. at
the Manchester Park by the river in
Auburn. Former members of the
club as well as all members
of the community are invited to join
us.
The next meeting will be held on
June 12 at the home of Deanna
Snell. Audrey Boonstoppel will be
president of the month and Deanna
will supply the lunch and Pat
Hunking will be on program. Ila
Cunningham read a “Mother’s Day”
poem and “What Mothers Know”.
She also had a interesting word
contest. Deanna Snell made an
excellent auctioneer for the
miscellaneous sale. A nice sum of
money was raised. Christena Gross
served a delicious cake and yogurt.
After lunch, we enjoyed a walk
through Christena’s lovely flower
beds.
On Thursday, April 28 Wayne and
Cathy Carter welcomed the newest
member of their family. Grandson
Cameron Jeffery Carter was born in
London to Jeff and Kelly Carter.
Congratulations to the Carter family.
The Auburn “Spring Fling” held
on Saturday, May 14 was a great
success. There were approximately
50 children in attendance andeveryone had a super time. Healthysnacks and drinks were providedand even many of the parentsparticipated with their children
while J.C. Coutts acted as the D.J.
for the evening. The Playground
Committee would like to thank all of
the loyal families from Auburn and
the surrounding area for all of their
support. The total raised for the
evening was $354.
For families who had their photo
taken at the dance, the photos are
ready. For any of the Hullett Central
students, the photos will be sent to
the school and distributed. If you
have not made arrangements for
receiving your photos, please

After months of lengthy debate
and discussion that drove at the very
heart of life in Huron County and
the future of rural Ontario, the
controversial Vodden/Palmer
severance was passed by Huron
County Council at the May 11
Committee of the Whole meeting.
Months of discussion, several
reports and a stern warning against
allowing such a severance from
Director of Planning Scott Tousaw
didn’t deter councillors who felt the
severance was just, voting 14-3 in
favour of allowing the severance.
Voting against the severance were
Neil Vincent, Bill Siemon and Deb
Shewfelt.
Playing a big part in the decision
was the fact that there had, at one
point, been a house on that parcel of
property and there would be no
further restrictions under Minimum
Distance Separation.
Councillors said that the
severance would not restrict
agriculture any further.
The severance still goes against
the Provincial Policy Statement and
the Huron County Official Plan.
