Tryin’ his luck
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Longman of
Stratford accompanied by Mr.
Mary Longman of Clinton visited
at the home of the former's brother
and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Longman and George on the week
end. They attended the Rutabaga
Festival.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sanders,
their daughter Jane, son-in-law
Gary Van Camp and granddaughter
Colleen of RR 4, Brussels relumed
on June 19 from an enjoyable week
visiting relatives and places in Hol
land.
Ten relatives were at Schiphol
airport to greet their relatives from
Ontario. One of Frank Sander s sis
ters, who lives only 15 miles from
the airport, shared her home with
her brother and sister-in-law Hele
na, while the Van Camps enjoyed
the week's hospitality of relatives
near by. On their first visit to the
land of Jane's ancestors, they trav
elled 100 kilometers to see the
largest dyke in the country known
as Enjoining Dam. They were fas
cinated with the windmills around
Qaandam and their historical back
ground. Peter the Great of Russia
had visited this area in order to
learn more about ship building.
The chief objective of this trip
was to visit the famous Flower
Auction comprising 160 acres
under one roof. The Van Camps
had the benefit of a guided lour by
Peter Otto, Jane's first cousin, who
al one time was the youngest auc
tioneer in this huge Holland indus
try. He now is a co-ordinator of the
Flower Auction and does business
with several other European coun
tries.
The highlight of the trip was the
reunion of the Sandcrs-Hoogcn-
boom families held in a large hall
on the Friday evening. When Frank
and Helena entered it, they were
overcome with surprise. Looking
upon them were over 100 people,
every one a relative.
Christopher Sallows of Vanastra tries his luck at the
Penny Sale at the Blyth Legion during the Rutabaga
Festival. Run by the Legion Auxiliary, the event got an
extra boost from those attending the big weekend._______
West Wawanosh hires
asistant for office
North Huron Publishing buys
Rural Voice magazine
Cathy Culbert of Holyrood was
chosen from 40 applicants to fill a
new position in the West
Wawanosh Township office.
Township councillors met June
14 to conduct final interviews for
four candidates from the seven they
had chosen for initial interviews.
Ms Culbert was hired for a six
month probationary period.
Candidates from West
Wawanosh, Ashfield and Blyth
were among the others in the final
four. Initially 40 applications had
been received.
North Huron Publishing Compa
ny Inc. has acquired The Rural
Voice magazine from Signal-Star
Publishing Company of Goderich.
Offices for The Rural Voice, a
monthly farm magazine serving
Huron, Perth, Bruce and Grey
Counties have been moved to the
Blyth office of The Citizen from
Goderich. The Rural Voice, with a
circulation of more than 15,000
copies each month had been pur
chased by Signal-Star Publishing in
1989 from Gunbyfield Publishing
Ltd. The magazine had operated in
Goderich since 1984, when Sheila
and Merle Gunby moved the busi
ness to Goderich from the Gunby
farm near Dungannon.
The move to Blyth brings the
publication full circle. Il had been
created there in 1975 as an arm of
the Blyth Standard. It was sold in
1978 to McLean Brothers Publish
ing of Seaforth which in turn sold
it to Sheila Gunby and Bev Brown
in 1982 when the company sold
The Huron Expositor to Signal Star
Publishing.
The Rural Voice brings a staff of
three full time and two part lime
employees to Blyth. General man
ager and editor is Jim Fitzgerald of
Clinton. Advertising manager is
Gerry Fortune of Belgrave. Produc
tion co-ordinator is Tracey Rising
of Goderich. Rhea Hamilton-
Seeger of Aubum and Anne Harri
son of Goderich are in advertising
and editorial production.
The acquisition of The Rural
Voice brings to three the stable of
publications put out by North

owned company with 47 sharehold
