Sewing some love
Students at Hullett Central Public School got their first lesson in crocheting milk bags on
Monday as they had been collecting the bags for months to get to this point. The students
will be crocheting the bags into mats to be sent to third-world countries, where they can be
used. Jazlen Wright, left, and Avery Wright were two of the many hard workers giving it their
all. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
The Citizen’s website,www.northhuron.on.ca now has a
new look and a wealth of new
information.
The website combines content
from North Huron Publishing
Company Inc.’s three publications to
provide a comprehensive
information package for people
living in Huron County.
On The Citizen’s portion of the
website, you’ll find breaking news
as our reporters post a synopsis of
the events they’re covering prior to
full coverage in Thursday’s issue of
the paper. A sport section will
provide the latest scores as quickly
as we can get them. The Huron
Home and Garden section will bring
stories and tips for the home and
garden enthusiast.
Bargains from our advertisers are
features in a Deals section and other
advertisers will be featured in a
rotating basis on the website as well
as a listing where shoppers can see
the ads of all those advertising on
the site.
The combined resources of our
publications will allow us to bring
you an entertainment section that is
a one-stop source of entertainment
information in Huron County.
Every week our photographers
attend events and shoot dozens of
photographs, only a handful of
which we have room for in the
weekly newspaper. Now you’ll be
able to see a slide show of many
more of those pictures and see if you
or a family member might have been
captured.
Coming soon will be video
coverage of some events.
“With the decline of local
television coverage we want to help
fill the gap with video news
coverage,” said publisher Keith
Roulston.
Also on the new website is
information from Stops Along the
Way , the three-times-a-year tourist
guide published by North Huron
Publishing.
Included on this part of the site is
the magazine’s comprehensive
listing of upcoming events, updated
regularly to include listings that
weren’t available when the guide
went to press. Also providingupdated information is the “News
for Huron Visitors” section which
will provide information on newly-
announced events.
The Stops Along the Way portion
of the site gives local readers easy
access to the tips given to travellers
in the magazine, including
attractions to visit, outdoor
activities, museums, daytrips to
make in various parts of the county,
listings of restaurants that have
advertised in the publication and
accommodations.
The Rural Voice, the company’s
widely read monthly farm magazine,
is also part of the new site.
Readers will have access to some
of the magazine’s columns, such as
the popular comic antics of the
coffee-shop gang at Mabel’s Grill
and the thought-provoking
comments of John Beardsley and
Keith Roulston.
Selected articles from past issues
will be available in the “Features”
section of in the “Advice” section.
The website will also allow The
Rural Voice to provide the latest
news in its “Breaking News”
section.
Three other unique features have
been made part of
www.northhuron.on.ca to provide
information for county and area
residents. Jobs In Huron is an on-
line source of information on jobs
being offered. In future employers
will be able to directly post jobs on
this part of the site, for a small fee.
The My Community section will
allow local clubs and service groups
to have an online newsletter they can
update themselves. There will be a
nominal charge to recover the costs
of providing the newsletter.
As a service for those researching
local history, the company is posting
local information gathered by our
staff over nearly 25 years of writing
about the area. It’s hoped to expand
this to a county-wide history source
in future.
“The site will be growing every
week as we try to make it a vital
resource for Huron County,” said
Roulston. “We hope it will just get
better and better.”
The shots begin
Public health nurse Sandra Feltz administers a seasonal
flu shot at the first clinic for Huron residents 65 years of
age and older. Over 250 people turned up at the Seaforth
Community Centre, Oct. 14 for the vaccine. Clinics for
seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccinations are listed on the
Huron County Health Unit’s website at
