The Alzheimer Society of Huron
County is pleased to offer its
Memory and Aging Program at the
Huron County Library – Brussels
Branch in July.
This program, developed at
Baycrest Hospital in Toronto,
describes what memory is and how it
changes with age. The Society
reviews practical strategies to
improve your ability to remember
everyday things such as names,
location of items and things you
intend to do. Equally important, the
Memory and Aging Program helps
build confidence in your own
memory ability. Past participants
have reported feeling more
knowledgeable about their lifestyle
choices that support their brain
health and see an increase in their
use of personal memory strategies.
The Memory and Aging Program
consists of four weekly, two-hour
sessions. The Brussels course will be
held at the Brussels Library Branch
from 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. on July 25.
The Memory and Aging course is
open to anyone; you do not need to
be a client of the Alzheimer Society
to enroll. Class registration is
mandatory to ensure materials and
space. The workbook and materials
fee is $25 per person.
Please contact the Alzheimer
Society of Huron County to
register at 519-482-1482 or 1-800-
561-5012 or e-mail at

The Huron County 4-H Clubs held
their Go for the Gold competition on
Wednesday, July 10 at the Clinton
United Church.
Six teams had geared up by
preparing to learn information out of
several project books including
From A Sporting Chance,
Agricultural Hazards, Beef,
Birdwatching, Cake Decorating,
Crafts, Jamaica, Goat, Poultry,
Protecting the Earth and Small
Engines.
The competition also included
questions about local, provincial and
federal leaders.
Several of the players were new to
the Go For The Gold competition
but did very well. After five games,
“The Masterminds” from the 4-H
Hensall Lifeskills Club finished in
first place, followed by the Baa Baa
Black Sheep from South Huron
Sheep Club.
These two teams will move up to
the Region 5 Go For the Gold
Competition on Aug. 15 in Holstein.
The winning team from that event
moves on to the Ontario 4-H
competition in Toronto at the Royal
Winter Fair in November.
Other participating teams were the
Dairy Club Team, the Goat Club
Team, The Sheep that Peep Club
from the South Huron Sheep Club
and Team Awesome South Huron
Sheep Club.
Everyone went home with a
certificate and a present. Members
of the winning team will be
presented with a watch sponsored by
Hoegy’s Farm Supplies at the 4-H
Awards Day set for Nov. 17 in
Seaforth.

HAVE YOU SEEN THESE BEES?
BEES pollinate much of the food we eat. When a BEE stops to snack on NECTAR from a blossom,
POLLEN from the plant sticks to the bee’s body and is carried to another plant! BEES are insects.
They have SIX legs, FOUR wings, and FIVE eyes... and are great little workers!
