Columnist warns to watch for hunters in Walton
The month of November has
kicked off the week and between
finishing up some crops, hunting,
fall suppers – it’s busy around the
area. The fields are being cleared
and I have only seen corn still out on
my travels. Many farmers are
plowing and some are spreading
manure as well. Those farmers who
are finished are busy washing up
their equipment and getting it put
away for the winter. Most farmers
have storage areas for the equipment
and a certain order to which it will fit
in the sheds. There can be no
complaints this year on what a great
fall we have had for harvest, yields
and even crop prices.It is lunchtime on Monday as I amwriting and while out earlier in themorning, I only saw one group ofhunters. There has been onesuccessful hunter, as I did see a deer
carcass hanging from a tree before
8:30 a.m. Our own bunch which
includes Rick and Scott and the
Brodhagen-area men had at least
two deer before lunch. I heard plenty
of shots in our bush during lunch, so
they maybe had more. There will
still be a few days left for hunting
after the paper comes out, so keep
watch for hunters and running deer.
Congratulations to Brad and
Cindy Pryce on the birth of a
daughter. The Pryces have been
blessed with the arrival of Naomi.
Naomi is another granddaughter for
Brian and Sharon Pryce to make 11
grandchildren.
Our get-well wishes go out to
Shirley Leake and Edna Pearson
who are both patients in Wingham
Hospital.
Congratulations to all the
successful candidates who will be
serving on our area municipalcouncils. It was a very interestingelection with good attendance atmany of the candidates meetings.There are many changes on our areacouncils and we thank all those who
have served our area for their time,
interest and their years of service
and wish the new council members
all the best in their future learning
experiences.
Walton area can be proud of
having both a former Walton
resident and a current Walton
resident running for the position of
deputy-mayor of Huron East. We
congratulate Joe Steffler on his
success and we congratulate Chris
Lee for making it a close race.
Enjoying a five-day holiday in
Vancouver were Murray, Sherry and
Mary McCall. They went with John
and Marci, Alivia and Indre McCall
MacBain to their home in
Vancouver. They enjoyed a quiet
time together mostly with just a
couple of extra activities. Murray
had the chance to do some flying
around the Vancouver area and some
of them went to a VancouverCanucks hockey game. It was a goodnight because Vancouver defeatedthe Colorado Avalanche 3-2. Theyreturned and report having a greatvisit with John and Marci and
especially with the two little girls.
A tragic vehicle accident claimed
the life of a long-time Brussels
resident, Henry Exel on the
weekend. His wife Margaret remains
in a London Hospital in serious
condition.
Our condolences are expressed to
the family of Henry and Margaret at
this time and our prayers are with
Margaret. Henry was well-known
carpenter in the Brussels area and
was enjoying his retirement. He was
a long-standing member of the
Brussels Lions Club and was a quiet,
family man.
The Walton Inn welcomes a new
face in Lisa Kiel as waitress. She is
coming along nicely and learning
the ropes from the experienced
veteran Betty Riley.
We hope Cathy McClure is
coming along as she copes with
some tendonitis problems.
Halloween has come and gone and
we had about a dozen trick or
treaters at our home. We had a pretty
princess, a walking (and
unravelling) mummy, a little
monkey, race car driver, a tiny fairy
and some other pretty cute
costumes. All of our little tricksters
were polite and eager to move on to
their next stop.
Celebrating birthdays to finish up
October were Brent Alexander,
MacKenzie McGavin, Janine Knight
and Davis Steffler. November kicks
off with Judy Lee, Marvin Bachert,
Stephen Burke, John Gaunt, Peggy
Humphries, Garret Mader, Johnny
Ryan, Bruce Blake, Connie Coutts
and Darryl Hoegy. Happy Birthday
to everyone.
