By Jo-Ann McDonald Call 887-6570 PEOPLE AROUNDWALTON NEWS FROM WALTON New bleachers built at Walton ball park It is nice to see Gerald and Joan Miller home for their usual summer visit. They travelled from Clairesholm, Alberta and will be here for about six weeks. They will spend time visiting with children Donna and family of Hensall and with son Rob and his children. They will attend family reunions and catch up with their many friends of the Brussels area. They had dinner with George and Fannie Somers and look forward to seeing more friends before they leave near the end of September. The summer is almost over but that doesn’t mean improvements can’t be made at Walton Ball Park. Thanks to some Walton Brewers and Indians and the generosity of McDonald Lumber and Rona Lumber, a set of new bleachers has been erected at the park. Thanks to the construction crew of Scott McDonald, Barry Young and Andrew Van Vliet.

Gary Long CAO/Clerk Township of North Huron Visitors see tornado first-hand Congratulations to Ross and Marg Bennett on celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. The party was planned by their daughter Nancy and held at the Brussels Legion. An open house was held in the afternoon with over 75 friends dropping by to wish them well. The family then enjoyed a dinner with about 45 of the extended family and close friends. Ross and Marg have two children, Nancy and husband Greg Ducharme and children Evan and Danielle Ducharme of Brussels, and their son Peter and wife LuAnn and daughter Emilee Bennett of Collingwood. Brian and Linda Marks and their nephew Luke have been here in Ontario for the last 10 days staying at a cottage in Bayfield. They have been busy taking in the sites including the tornado in Goderich last Sunday afternoon. They were at the Square when it hit and then held on to each other and took some shelter in a doorway. They were terrified and with Brian’s background in architecture, he knew when it was over there was still great danger with the insides of the buildings collapsing. They witnessed the shocked faces of those on the Square and the immense damage. They managed to get out of Goderich and return to Bayfield shaken but alright. They have been kept busy visiting with Mother, Maxine Marks, sister Sharon Pryce and families and brother Blaine and family. They have returned to Calgary after having quite the experience in Ontario. Carters celebrate 40 years It was a second gathering for many of the Bennett family as they gathered for a surprise party this time on Sunday.

The party was at their home and arranged by their daughters Cindy and Vicki and families. Oldest daughter Pam of Calgary was unable to attend at this time. Karen is the daughter of the late Bill and Marie (Bennett) Coutts of Walton. The happy couple was completely surprised and overwhelmed when extended family members and members of their wedding party arrived. The over 30 enjoyed a catered meal and a lot of laughter and fun remembering their antics of 40 years ago. Karen reports it makes it more real that she is “60” with the opening of so many cards with 60 in such big print! Happy birthday Karen and happy anniversary to both Allan and Karen!
