Wedding, birthcelebrated in Walton
The day did not begin too bright,
but at 2:50 p.m., the sun broke
through the clouds to shine upon the
wedding of Nick Campbell and
Danielle Good. Nick is the son of
Laurie and Deb Campbell and
Danielle is from Wingham. The
wedding was held at the Campbell
farm. The bride and her bridesmaids
arrived by wagon, drawn by a team
of black percheron horses driven by
the two fathers. The lovely ladies in
black dresses with avocado shawls
met the handsome groom and
groomsmen, also in avocado green
accessories, for the ceremony. A
surprise gift and guest for the
wedding was a miniature donkey for
Nick, a gift from his brothers.
Guests were ushered by brothers,
Cory, Tyler and Jordan.
Travelling home from the west to
be part of the wedding party was
Brent Wheeler, joining Scott
Armstrong and Brandon Blake.
Lovely young ladies attending the
bride were Lacey McArter and
Emily Elston. Following the
wedding, they enjoyed a social time
in the tent, before heading to the
Brussels, Morris and Grey
Community Centre for the dinner
and reception. Proud grandparents
are Jack and Liz Coultes and Betty
Campbell. The newlyweds will be
living on Cardiff Road and will
enjoy a belated honeymoon this
winter.
Congratulations to Chris and Judy
Lee on the birth of a granddaughter.
Proud parents are Brett and Mel and
big brother Kaden is excited they
picked the name, Harper, one he
chose for his little sister. Harper is
the first Lee girl to be born in almost
60 years for the family and after 10
Lee males, she will indeed be
special. Congratulations to all.

FROM WALTON
Rain doesn’t impress columnist
Rain, rain go away, come again in
a month or so. Yes, we have had
enough rain for a while and the
farmers would be happy if it would
quit. They had one good day they
could work on some beans and some
corn, but they are being few and far
between right now.
Our condolences to Helen
Williamson on the loss of her sister-
in-law Gertie Elliott.
Our condolences to the Somerville
children on the loss of their mother,
Debbie Somerville. Our sympathies
are expressed to Jeremy, Jamie and
Alysha and to the McPherson and
Somerville families.
Brussels again was hit by vandals
last week, this time breaking
windows in many vehicles around
town. On Oct. 18 they were busy
causing problems for many residents
around the downtown core. Tuesday
afternoon the police had been very
busy on Brussels Line looking for a
suspect, no less than nine cruisers
were on the road or in the area just
south of Brussels. News reports say
they arrested a suspect, so we can be
sure it wasn’t him causing the
trouble in town that night.
A wonderful crowd attended the
open house at Huronlea to celebrate
the 80th birthday of Lois McCall.
Her children, Debbie, Don, Julie and
Vicki and their families were all in
attendance for the afternoon.
Welcome to Isabel Workman who
is now a resident at Huronlea.
Doreen Hackwell is at Seaforth
Manor and appreciates visitors.
Duff’s United Church had the
sacrament of baptism on Sunday.
Welcomed into the church family
was Bridget Ann McCallum,
daughter of Chad and Crystal
McCallum. Members of the
McCallum families and the Semple
families attended and then had lunch
at the home of Chad and Crystal in
Brussels.
Duff’s annual turkey supper is
next week and everyone’s help is
needed. Set up at the Brussels,
Morris and Grey Community Centre
is Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. It
would be nice to have a few men to
help move the tables. Please come
out if you can. Tuesday is a prep day
at the church, both morning and
afternoon and ladies, the more help
eases the burden for the few.
Wednesday is the big day and we
hope everyone can help.
High school students needing
their volunteer hours are welcome
to come and help. Contact
Gloria Wilbee or Jo-Ann
McDonald.
Celebrating birthdays this past
week were Bryan Kelson, Ron
McCallum, Brett Lee, Lois McCall,
Janice McCallum MacGillvary,
Michael Parr, Doug Bauer, Wayne
Todd, Andrew Grothius, Teresa
Baan, Tanner Leslie, Dan
Taylor, Murray Dennis and Douglas
Wey.
Locals drawn west by family
weddings and attractions
The west has been the draw for a
couple of area folks. Isabel Wheeler
went to Calgary to attend her niece
Ruth Ann’s wedding. Ruth Ann is
the daughter of Ross and Esther
Smith of Red Deer. The wedding
was held at Lougheed House, a
beautiful historic home in Calgary.
The groom, Neville, wore his
military uniform and there was an
impressive guard of honour in full
navy uniform. Isabel spent time both
in Red Deer and in Calgary and was
away about eight days.
She enjoyed some nice weather
and a little rain and a little frost. She
reports that she missed seeing the
colourful maple trees of home and
the bright yellow popular trees and
tamaracks are just not as pretty as
our maples.
Jim and Linda McDonald also
spent time in Calgary. They flew
from London to Calgary to meet up
with son, Andrew. Andrew is living
in Edmonton, but travelled to
Calgary, along with Darcy
McCutcheon, to meet the folks.
They had a nice visit and
Thanksgiving together. When
Andrew and Darcy returned to
Edmonton, Jim and Linda continued
their trip and went to Las Vegas.
They spent time just resting and
relaxing, just what the doctor
ordered for Jim. They went to see
KÀ Cirque du Soleil and report it
was fantastic. They enjoyed
wonderful weather and hated to
come home to the rain.
