Verschaeve sets personal best at university swim meet
It was not a bad week for March
Break for the children, but some
snow to play in would have been
nice.
Unfortunately, most of the snow
was gone, so no snowmobiling could
be enjoyed. That has made for some
sad snowmobile enthusiasts as there
were very few days to be out on the
trails. Unless they were heading
north, it has been a short season
around here.
Many of the kids reported an
enjoyable break from school. Some
went to Florida, some went to their
cottage, some went to Grandma’s,
some played in hockey tournaments,
some went swimming and some just
stayed at home. Lots of different
answers the first morning back on
the bus.
The Cranbrook Darts had 17
players out to play on Wednesday
evening. Team 1 of George Zwep
and Gayle Speiran were hot shots
winning all six games for the night.
Pat Gillis had the high ladies shot of
140 and George hit 100. It
was the first decent night they have
had for travel since darts began in
January.
Our sympathies are extended to
the family of the late Margaret Work.
She will be missed by her children
Ken, Judy and Kathy and their
families. Marg was a wonderful lady
who love to visit and talk with
everyone and anyone. She had a
wonderful memory and could recall
events and people from many years
ago. Always a pleasure to see and
many times she would call me up
with some news. She will be missed
by many. Our condolences to all.
Our sympathies are extended to
the Dobson/Bremner families on the
passing of Jamie Dobson.
Our condolences to all.
We are pleased to hear that Jim
Armstrong is now residing at
Huronlea. He will be looking
forward to many visits from his
friends from Brussels.
Betty Ryan is another new resident
at Huronlea and looks forward to
visits from family and friends.
Celebrating birthdays this past
week include Christine Knight, Lisa
Gingerich, Jim Humphries, Ross
Mitchell, Bob Alexander, Cassandra
Banks, Edward Clark, Reg
Vinnicombe, Griffin Verkley, Ray
Huether Jr. Celeste Ryan, Cora
Alcock, McKinley Ryan, Don
Chesher, Jim Lee, Art McNaughton,
Carol Henderson, Keith Wilbee and
Jeffrey Bauer. Happy birthday to all.
Ward Verschaeve of the Blyth area
recently concluded his third season
swimming with the Carleton
University Ravens.
At the end of the season,
Verschaeve competed at the Ontario
University Association provincial
championships in St. Catharines last
month.
The meet welcomed swimmers
from every university across
Ontario, Verschaeve said, pitting his
team against many notable athletes,
including Olympian and former
world-record-holder Kylie Masse.
Verschaeve set personal bests in all
his races, dropping four seconds in
the 200-metre freestyle, two seconds
in the 50-metre backstroke and
dropping one second off his 50-metre
freestyle time in the relay event. He
dropped another half second off the
50-metre freestyle later in the meet
when he swam it individually.
Verschaeve said the event was a
bittersweet one as many of his
teammates will be retiring at the end
of the year while he prepares for
next year.

Heritage fund deadline coming
May 1, 2019 is the next deadline
for individuals and organizations to
submit applications for the Huron
Heritage Fund. Established in 2007,
the purpose of the Huron Heritage
Fund is to encourage the
preservation of heritage assets and
activities of heritage importance to
the County of Huron and its
residents.
Many initiatives from throughout
Huron County have been supported
by the Huron Heritage Fund since its
inception. In recent years, projects
have included support for Ashfield
historians with their book East
Ashfield, 1842-2017, upgrades to
Elimville Community Park,
renovations to Hensall Heritage
Hall and recording oral histories
of Huron Tract Land Trust
Conservancy donors.
“The county will contribute up
to 50 per cent of the costs of a
project to a maximum of $5,000,”
according to Beth Rumble, Director
of Cultural Services. This
investment also leverages other
groups or individuals to invest in
Huron County’s heritage.
Projects will assist in the
preservation and restoration of
heritage landmarks, historic
buildings and objects of historical
significance not owned by the
County of Huron.
Heritage publications and events
also qualify for support under this
program.
More information about the
application process can be found on
the Huron County Museum’s
website at https://www.huron
countymuseum.ca/huron-heritage-
fund/.
