The Citizen, 2010-07-15, Page 7THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JULY 15, 2010. PAGE 7. It was a wonderful week and even a more wonderful weekend. All of our extended family arrived from the west- Mike, Chris, Sydney, Brycen, Kendra and Luis, and Charlie from the south, to attend the wedding of our son Scott to Alicia Dick. About 150 family members and friends attended the nuptials at Scott and Alicia’s farm on Moncrieff Road. Everything fell into place with the arrival of the tent, the tables and chairs, the dance floor and all the other million small details to make their special day just that. The ceremony, conducted by Rev. Peter of Duff’s United Church Walton, was held on the lawn in front of the house and the dinner and reception was held in the large tent. Burnt orange accented the white on white colour scheme. The couplehave many local friends who werepart of the wedding party includingSarah McDonald, Brett Dietz,Darryl Houston, Devin Blake, JeffLinton, Jason Konarski and BarryYoung along with Seaforth friendsJaclyn Hulley, Denise Carnohan andShay Austin. We all had a great time and everything went very smoothly. Alicia is the daughter of Joe and Susan Dick and Scott is the son of Rick and Jo-Ann McDonald. Congratulations to Pat and Cheryl ( Armstrong) Laffin on the birth of their first child, Brooke. Great Grandma Isabel Armstrong is delighted with having a seventh great grandchild to add to the family tree. Our condolences are expressed to Betty McCutcheon, Blaine, Cheryl, Terry and their families on the passing of husband and father, Casey McCutcheon. Casey will be remembered for his many years of owning and running Brussels Motors on the north edge of Brussels. He was keenly interested in hockey, dancing and in his later years spent many a winter in Florida. Our sympathies are extended to all his extended family.

Happybirthday to all. Continued from page 6 Traschel explained. Even Perth South representative Carol Bennewies, who has consistently supported congregating Grades 7 and 8 students in elementary settings – as has been done in Mitchell – admitted she had not been able to figure out a suitably logical site for such an option in South Huron. And Huron East/Central Huron counterpart Willie Laurie, who argued passionately to maintain different village and rural schools (Brussels and Grey Central) later in the meeting, explained both Usborne Central and Zurich are quickly approaching a time when declining enrolment forces students from Grades 6, 7 and 8 into one triple- grade classroom. “Keeping all schools open, I don’t think anybody is suggesting that’s a viable option,” Wagler said, adding the money spent keeping partly-full schools open must be found somewhere in the budget. “If we do that, we’ll have degraded education in the district over time.” More school closures Central Huron scholars Kicking up dirt It was motocross time in Walton over the weekend for one of the first times this season. Over 500 participants took to the course to run races on Saturday and Sunday in the sweltering heat.
