The Citizen, 2007-09-27, Page 28PAGE 28. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2007.Huron County residents are beingencouraged to help break a Guinness World Record by taking a walk. The World Record Walk is an Ontario-wide attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most people walking one kilometer at the same time. Huron County residents are invited to join one of six World Record Walks taking place throughout the county on Wednesday, Oct. 3 at 12:30 p.m. The record is currently held by Australia with more than 100,000 participants. Penny Nelligan, the executive director of the Huron County Health Unit, is hoping for a large turnout. “Walking is good for our health, environmentally friendly, and fun.Having the chance to take part in an Ontario-wide record breaking event is an exciting opportunity,” Nelligan says she’s impressed with the enthusiasm of local organizers across the county. By participating and filling out a ballot, participants have a chance to win great prizes, including a shot at winning a $50 gift certificate to a local footwear store. There’s no need to pre-register – just come with your walking shoes on! The World Record Walk is being organized by Green Communities Canada with support from the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion.

Entry is up two steps and through a covered porch. The doorway, flanked by sidelights, leads into a foyer with a coat cupboard on the right. The great room, already visible beyond a half wall, promises a warm welcome. The built-in fireplace will make this room especially cozy during the cooler months. Flowing seamlessly from the great room are the kitchen and breakfast nook. The kitchen’s U-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook, who will also appreciate the handy phone desk and work island, not to mention the pantry. The breakfast nook, in a bayed-out area overlooking the back garden, will make the ideal spot for casual meals and snacks. A laundry room with a broom cupboard, as well as a closet for coats and off-season gear, is located next to a two-piece powder room. Adjacent, a U-shaped staircase, lit by an arched feature window, leads to the second floor. The master suite, overlooking the back garden for privacy, boasts a large walk-in closet and an ensuite with both a soaker tub and shower stall. A mullioned window overlooking the front garden will flood the ensuite with light. Bedrooms numbers 2 and 3 share a three-piece bathroom, which will provide sound insulation between the second bedroom and the master suite. The third bedroom features a corner window that cries out for a window seat. The exterior is beautifully finished in horizontal siding with stone accents and painted trim. Attractive vents with oval frames add interest to two of the gabled areas; all are finished in wood shingles.
