BANNON-SAXON
In Cranbrook on June 1, 1996 at
the home of her parents, Laura
Joanne Saxon was married to
Sandy Bannon of St. Catharines. A
garden setting was the scene where
Rev. Brian Bridle of Hamilton
performed the ceremony in the
presence of 100 guests.
The bride, in a traditional
wedding gown and carrying a
lovely bouquet of fresh cut flowers,
was attended by maid-of-honour,
Patricia Saxon of Scarborough,
cousin of the bride, who wore a
two-piece suit of teal green.
Bridesmaids were Bonnie,Rosart,
Linda Bach, Cheryl Bannon, from
Hamilton and Dunnville, sisters of
the groom, and Maggie Kaufauld
from Campden. The girls wore full-
length dusty rose lace dresses.
Beautiful flowergirl, Elizabeth
Bannon, niece of the groom, was
dressed in full-length dusty rose.
Headdresses for all the ladies
were flower garlands set in
hairstyles created by Little Darlings
Hair Studio of Brussels.
Mother of the bride wore a sage
green pant suit. Mother of the
groom wore a dress of pale green.
The groom, known as Sam by his
many friends, wore a formal tuxedo
complete with top hat. Seven-year-
old ringbearer, Kenny Bannon,
nephew of the groom, also wore a
black tuxedo. The groomsman was
Ken Bannon, from Hamilton, the
groom's brother. Ushers, dressed in
tuxedos with teal green cummer-
bunds, were Ed Saxon, Scarborough,
bride's brother; Ron Suk,
Gray, Aileen Mann, Hazel McKen-
zie, Mac Smith, Annie Wight,
Alvin McDonald, Marjorie Mc-

Photographer Ruth Uyl of Blyth
arranged traditional photos
including motorcycles. Several
guests enjoyed their first bike ride
courtesy of invited bikers Vic and
Porky. Among novice riders was
Gale Saxon of Mississauga, who
said she would never get on "one of
those things!"
Bill Saxon was master
ceremonies. Much-loved Uncle Bill
also helped out in so many other
ways, especially the church
backdrop for the garden and
beautiful arbour and flowers.
A dinner-dance was held at the
Cranbrook Community Centre.
Decorations and revealine display
of "early childhood" photos of the
bride and groom transformed the
hall. Sam's family put many hours
of work, which they gave
cheerfully and willingly, to make
this special day a most successful
event. The help of neighbours and
Krista Bach, whose cheerful smile
and willingness to wash endless
dishes, were much appreciated.
Guests came from Montreal,
Kingston, Hamilton, Mount Albert,
Markham, St. Marys and
Scarborough. Special guest was
Gramma Hilda Saxon from
Scarborough who had the best
sleep ever following all the
excitement. Could it have been the
jelly dessert, Gramma?
Mr. and Mrs. Bannon honey-
mooned in Porta Plata and now
reside in St. Catharines.
The Walton kindergarten
students made a trip to visit their
penpals at Tumberry school. They
played games in the gym and had a
great time. Also this week the kids
created and presented a little show
for their parents called, 'Our
collection_ of what we learned all
year.'
The Grade is had fun practising
making bubbles for their science
class. There were all kinds of
bubbles and they are gearing up for
the really big bubble making fun
next week.
The Grade 2s went to the bush to
catch some frogs, tadpoles and they
found three turtle eggs.
The Penny Carnival was once
again a big hit. All kinds of people
arrived in time to eat the hotdogs
that were being cooked by Jim
Crocker. Then the fun began with
pony rides, spike driving and some
real fun with the wet sponge throw.

After tendering for the services
of its auditor for 1997, Huron
County has decided to retain the
same firm, despite it not being the
lowest tender.
Lowest of the three tenders sub:
mitted for auditing the books of the
county, health unit, homes for the
aged, and library was Doane Ray-
mond with a bid of $24,500. The
current auditors, Vodden, Bender
and Seebach, bid $25,500.
There were several reasons the
Administration, Finance and Per-
sonnel committee recommended
remaining with the old firm, said
Ken Nix, county treasurer. It would
take many hours of staff time to
bring new auditors up to speed,
quickly eating up any savings from
the switch. In addition, the quotes
were structured in such a way that
if the county was no longer respon-
sible for home care or the health
unit, the Doane Raymond bid
would suddenly be higher than the
Vodden, Bender and Seebach bid.
The province has appointed a new
agency, the Community Care
Access Centre, which will oversee
home care while the county is dis-
cussing amalgamation of its health
unit with Perth and Lambton.
Some councillors, however, were
not pleased that the lowest quote
was rejected. A recorded vote was
called for with the recommendation
being approved by a weighted vote
of 51-10.

A stepdancing trio made up of

on the playground equipment. Mrs.
Scott said she was very impressed
at the way all the older children
