A few weeks ago I was talking to
a rather excited Sharon Brown who
said that her Dad had sold his truck
and was thinking about buying a
restaurant. Well he did just that. He
and Sharon have taken over the
Kountry Kettle this side of Blyth.
After driving a truck for 30 years
Allan Brown decided he needed a
change. With this truck driving
having taken him all over the world
he had the chance to sample a lot of
different restaurants, so he knows
what he wants out of a restaurant -
good food at a reasonable price.
Sharon says that he has been
working-on his "secret sauce" and
now has it just the way he wants it.
The 'Ranch House' will open July
4, but the grand opening will be in
a month or so, depending on when
they get the char-rock broiler in so
that they can barbecue steaks,
chicken and burgers. I checked out
the menu and from the Texas Chili
down to the 'Little Cowpoke
Specials' I do believe that no one
will every leave there hungry.
Good luck on your new venture
folks.
Dr. and Mrs. C.A. Meyers,
Luella Mitchell and Lillian Beer
were dinner guests of Emerson and
Phyllis Mitchell this past weekend.
Dr. Myers used to be the doctor in
Brussels and in 1960 they moved to
Saskatoon, Sask. The couple have
been visiting with their daughter,
Mrs. Bob Richmond of Brussels.
Also the Mitchells enjoyed bed
and breakfast guests who came
from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and
from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
A Talent Time .was held on
Monday, June 26 where students
and staff 'strutted their stuff. There
were soloists, pianists, stcpdanccrs,
baton twirler, tap dancer and a
recitation by Mother Goose (Mrs.
Howe-Lobb) and Mrs. Scott
(disguised as an old woman). Their
recitation was called, 'The Rabbit
Poem', a poem Mrs. Scott learned
when she was in Grade 2.
Sporting cardboard lollipops the
staff made up the air band that sang
'Lollipop, Lollipop'.
The Mystery Rapper showed up
too with a big red nose and all to do
a homemade rap song about
Walton School. Most kids guessed
the Rapper to be Mrs. Vandendool
but some were not sure.
I asked Mrs. Crocker how she
felt the year went. She said that it
had been a very busy, but
wonderful year and that she had a
ball.
I also asked that very hard
working secretary Mrs. Johns what
she thought of the past year and she
said that they had had a shaky start
but certainly had a much happier
ending. She enjoyed the staff and
children so much.
So thus ends another year at
Walton Public School. I have
appreciated the teachers and kids
co-operating with me and making
sure that I had news for the paper.
Youth Leadership Camp set
Young people from Huron
County will have a chance to
interact, confront pressing rural and
economic issues and have fun
during a weekend leadership
retreat.
The Pride of Huron Youth
Leadership Camp takes place Sept.
8-10 on the shores of Lake Huron
at Camp Kintail, RR 3, Goderich.
The Pride of Huron is a project
of the Huron County Junior
Farmers with funding from the
Huron County Federation of
Agriculture and other groups.
The youth chairperson of the
event is Susan McLachlan, of RR
3, Kippen. The 17-year-old student
of Seaforth District High School
has been active in curling,
broomball and baseball and in 4-H.
"I think this is going to be really
good for young people in Huron
from different areas to get to know
each other," said McLachlan.
The leadership camp will feature
personal development workshops,
rural and economic issues and
recreational events.
The fee for each participant is
$35. To apply to be part of The
Pride of Huron Leadership camp,
write to P.O. Box 779, Seaforth,

The Huron County Junior
Farmers are looking for people to
volunteer time or money to the
youth leadership camp. They are
also asking rural organizations,
clubs and teams to submit names of
young people who would benefit
from the weekend retreat.
The event is being billed as 'a
weekend you will never forget.'
The parking lot construction con-
tract for R. E. Madill Secondary

Barb Durrell greeted worshippers
at Duffs United July 2.
July ushers are John Gillis, Ross
Bennett and Sharon Godkin.
Rev. Randy Banks welcomed
everyone and then thanked Karen
Hoegy and all the people who did
such a terrific job of catering to the
Country Supper Smorgasbord last
week. He also said that hopefully
there will be enough interest to go
ahead with the Vacation Bible
School July 14-20. The theme will
be 'Fruits of the Spirit'.
He then handed out papers and
pen to the congregation to have
them put down their favourite
hymn because on July 23 there will
be a 'Hymn Sing Sunday' during
the regular service.
His sermon was called, 'There is
no such thing as free freedom."
