There was over 150 who attended the afternoon openhouse which was followed by adinner for the over 50 familymembers and guests. A lively program of song, reminiscing verses and skits were provided by many members of the family. Hank and Agnes had their three children in attendance, Patricia of Brussels, Linda of Hope, B.C. and Paul of Toronto and many members of theirfamilies. It was a lovely afternoonand evening and congratulations toHank and Agnes. A second reason for celebrating was Agnes’s birthday. The story was told that Agnes’s father would not let the couple wed until Agnes was 21, so that was when the wedding day was set – on her 21st birthday. Congrats and Happy Birthday toAggie!The catering crew of Comrade Jo-Ann McDonald, Deb Caan, Mabel Glanville, Mary Bradshaw and Judy Lee did a great job with the meal and Nanci Ducharme was bartender and helped in the kitchen for cleanup.

The dance crew of Jo-Ann McDonald, Mabel Glanville, Judy Lee and Mary Bradshaw did a fine job as usual. Brussels Legion hosts anniversary celebration Blyth PS seniors make music Saunders gets ‘picked’ Professional picker Tim Saunders played host to the History Television Network’s Canadian Pickers in November of 2010 and is ready to make his network television debut on June 21 at 10 p.m. Saunders showed the hosts and crew of the show through his Blyth business and sold several items on the reality show. (Denny Scott photo) Blyth resident ‘picked’ for Canadian TV show The Canadian Pickers made their way through Blyth back in November of 2010 with hopes of finding forgotten treasures in Tim Saunder’s home and shop. Saunders, a resident of Blyth and antique store owner, welcomed Scott Cozens and Sheldon Smithens, the Canadian Pickers from History Television’s show of the same name, and their adventures in searching, scouring and buying from Saunders are going to be on the show on June 21 at 10 p.m. The meeting was a long time coming, according to Saunders. “[The Pickers] got in touch with me through my father-in-law at the Bayfield Historical Society,” he said. “We corresponded for a year before they came down.” Saunders said that his more-than- 20 years of collecting, with the last 12 being his full-time job, gave the Pickers plenty to look through, but he felt that they didn’t really represent true Pickers. “One of these guys was a real estate lawyer, the other a lawyer, I really don’t know how they got picked to do the show,” he said. “I’m a real Picker, and I find their American counterparts [on American Pickers, also on the History Channel] get closer to the reality of it.” Saunders said that true Pickers don’t typically go to antique stores, as the picking has already been done for you. “I do a lot of estate sales, yard sales and antique shows looking for those finds that people don’t realize they have,” he said. “It’s my job, my full-time career. These guys are getting paid to pick by the show, not living off what they pick.” Saunders also said that Cozens and Smithens have more of a narrow scope for their picks and are often looking for what he calls “mantiques”. “They’re looking for signs, motorcycles, things like that,” he said. “They don’t last long on the market because there’s a high demand for them, but I deal with all things – I handle everything from glass to China to car parts.” Saunders first impression proved to be a lasting one, as far as the Pickers were concerned. “They are decent guys, but Cozens was definitely the more aggressive of the two,” he said. “But you have to be [aggressive] in this business.” The Pickers picked some cast-iron implement seats, signs, toys and a bear trap from Saunders, as well as had him do an estimate on a chair they had previously bought. Saunders stated that the online- auction boom really hurt antique vendors and Pickers, and that sites like E-Bay can really make their job difficult through price inflation, but said that the two ‘picking’ shows have definitely had a positive impact in his business. “[The shows] have been good for business,” he said. “People know what we are and what we’re looking for, and they know they can sell their stuff to good people instead of having it destroyed or taken to the dump.” Visit www.canadianpickers.com for more information on the show. By Denny Scott The Citizen Continued from page 3 Portraits of Honour presentation at the North Huron Wescast Community Complex in Wingham. It is a portrait of the 156 Canadian soldiers who have died, giving their lives in Afghanistan. The portrait, painted by Dave Sopha, took 6,500 hours to paint. The portrait will be making a cross- Canada tour. This tour stop was in memory of Corporal Matthew Dinning. Currently in Grade 7/8, students have been working on several projects. The class has just finished a music project where the students were to create and perform music of their choice. The students are now moving on to a special stop animation project. The students must choose a song of their choice and then create pictures, then fit it into a movie. The class is also starting a bridge-building activity. The students must work in teams to build a bridge made out of toothpicks and a limited amount of supplies. The Grade 5, 6, 7 students will be taking a field trip to Camp Kintail on Friday, June 17. The students are visiting for a day and will be participating in many activities including rock climbing, archery and kayaking. Continued from page 3 help run the Temples for the rest of the year. When we go to gatherings we are often drawn to familiar faces to talk to and never meet with others to get acquainted. Scriptures tells us that the Jews didn’t know what to do after the death of Jesus. The Jews finally realized that it was up to them to carry on the teachings of Jesus. Many of the prophets gathered together with leaders in quiet places. Moses was one of these prophets. Many groups of people were formed to look after different groups of people such as widows, people who are sick and the children. God gives us courage to try out new ideas. Our ideas are a gift from God. Often we do not carry out these ideas because people tell us we can’t. We watched a video of a boy and young man playing basketball. The younger man tells the boys that he should never let people tell him he can’t do something. Prophets can only profit when they speak the word of God and tell others of God’s word. Things only happen when we have the courage to speak up and get involved. The offering was received followed by the offertory response and the prayer of dedication. The prayer for the world was followed by the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn “Crown Him with Many Crowns” was followed by the commissioning and benediction and the “Amen” response. Everyone was invited for coffee and cookies after the service. Don’t take can’t for an answer 77688 Orchard Line, R.R. 1 Bayfield 519-482-3020 www.te-emfarm.ca Goderich Telephone R d .
