Another year has passed and the
quiet village of Walton has expanded
its population by thousands. The
Parts Canada and Grand Nationals
motocross racers have descended
upon the Walton Raceway for one of
the biggest events in Huron County.
The first part of the week is for the
amateur racers from all across the
country. They will race from
Wednesday until Saturday to
determine the best in each category
of racers and awards and
presentations are handed out after
the final race.
Sunday is the big day for the pro
riders. They have been racing on
tracks across Canada since early
May, beginning in B.C., across the
prairies, out to the east coast and
back to Ontario for the final race of
the Grand National series. It is an
exciting and noisy event, but folks
come from far and wide to
participate and to watch the races.
Many local groups benefit from
working different venues at the
raceway, so if you can’t find folks at
home, they just might be working at
the races.

The Glanville boys had a once in a
longtime “boys” week out this past
week. All seven of the Glanville
brothers went fishing in the
Fields area up north. The Walton
brothers of Lorne, Ken and Les,
Lloyd of Brussels and Roy of
Rostock were joined by Alec of
Milford, Saskatchewan and Art of
Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. They
had a great time fishing and
caught plenty of fish to come home
with.
The Glanville boys arrived home
in time to gather yet again at the
buck and doe for Josh Horst and
Steph Giller on Saturday evening.
Josh is the son of Richard and
Marjorie (Glanville) Horst. The pig
roast was held at the couple’s home
on Sawmill Road. A tent was erected
to keep everyone dry, there was a
dunk tank and lots of games for all to
enjoy after the delicious meal. Thecouple will wed this fall.Just in case the Glanville familyhadn’t seen enough of one and
another, they gathered one more
time on Sunday. This time it was at
the original Glanville farm. The farm
on Sawmill Road was bought by
John Glanville a few years before his
marriage to Winnie in 1939. They
raised 10 children Lloyd, Lorne,
Ken, Alec, Roy, Les, Art, Ilene,
Marjorie and Marlene. Sometime
around the early 70s, they sold the
farm to Les and Cathy Glanville and
built a new house next door. Les and
Cathy have sold the farm this year
and they held a “farewell to the
family farm” party. All of the
Glanvilles were able to attend and
they had a wonderful afternoon.
They enjoyed a potluck meal and
enjoyed a feed of fish the men
caught while away fishing. They
brought favourite photos and spent
time reminiscing about growing up
on the farm. They had a wonderful
and final get-together on the farm
that they called home.
Welcome back to Mr. and Mrs.
Barry and Sarah Young. The
newlyweds returned from ahoneymoon in Las Vegas. They wereaway for just five days and report itwas very hot. They saw the David
Copperfield show and report it was
very interesting.
A group of ladies gathered at the
home of Karin McDonald Calhoun
last week. The guests included
Margery Huether, Jean Bewley,
Betty McCutcheon, Dona Knight
and Isabel Wheeler. They were
joined by Marg Rogerson and Marg
Stevens. The ladies enjoyed a
delicious lunch and Karin was
helped by Gail Moffet. They enjoyed
an afternoon of reminiscing about
their many good times together with
the late Leona McDonald.

Huron East Council meetings may
be doing some travelling as opposed
to simply being held in their normal
location at Seaforth’s Town Hall.
A recommendation from Seaforth
Councillor Nathan Marshall at the
August 2 Huron East Council
meeting suggests that meetings
should move around the entire
municipality, citing specifically
Brussels in anticipation of the
impending by-election that will take
place this fall.
No official decision was made, but
Marshall’s issue was noted by
administration and the rest of
council.
***
Brussels Councillor David Blaney
was assigned to positions on the
Economic Development Committee,
the Huron East Health Centre
Management Committee and the
Water and Sewer Committee in
place of departed councillor Joe
Seili.
The assignments are temporary
and will be reassigned after the
pending Brussels by-election.
***
After a meeting with the developer
of the impending wind turbine
project proposed for St. Columban,
Mayor Bernie MacLellan reported
to council that the project’s next
open house will not be held
until after the October Provincial
election and that the project would
most likely not be underway until
2013.
Further to that meeting,
MacLellan will be attending a
meeting of the Inter-Municipal Wind
Turbines Working Group in Chesley
on August 11. It was also
recommended that chief building
official Paul Josling be at that
meeting as well.

services.”
2. To add a Multiple Attached Dwelling with a maximum of 4 units per building as a permitted use and the zone
regulations for this use in the R2 (Residential Medium Density) Zone.
3. To add a provision under the requirements for Title Separation of Semi-Detached Dwellings in the R2
(Residential Medium Density) Zone to allow for a minimum lot area per unit of 270 sq. metres for an interior
lot and 418 sq. metres for a corner lot.
4. To add text for the AG1-22 (General Agriculture-Special Zone) on Part Lot 48, Conc. 1, LRS, Tuckersmith
Ward.
5. To correct the zoning on the Molesworth Store property, being North Part Lot 52, Conc. 1, Grey Ward (Key
Map 3A).

Housekeeping Zoning Amendment No. 2 proposes the following changes:
1. Section 62.0.2 (6) of the Planning Act, RSO, 1990 states that “A by-law or order passed under Part V (Land
Use Controls and Related Administration) does not apply to a renewable energy undertaking.” However,
Council wishes to include setbacks for Commercial Scale Wind Energy Facilities to require a minimum
setback of 550 metres to noise receptors who are non-participants in the wind energy project, to ensure the
Municipality has setbacks in place if authority is returned to local Municipalities. The amendment will also
include a reciprocal setback for new off-site residential dwellings of 550 metres from a Commercial Scale
Wind Energy Facility.
