R.R. #2 Goderich Phone/Fax (519) 524-8668 By Janice Becker Citizen staff With the retirement of long-time Brussels vet George Alexander, a well-established and multi-doctor operation has assumed his duties. Veterinarians John and Kathy Hunt, Terry Johnston and Petra Suidgeest of Newry Veterinary Ser- vices, took over the business in July, but will be hosting their open house this Saturday. Dr. Johnston, along with wife, Theresa, opened the Newry clinic in 1977. He had graduated from the University of Guelph in 1974 and worked in Seaforth before moving to Newry. Even with great distances and the passage of time, one former Brus- sels woman found that miracles do happen. Now of Goderich, Carmen Klaus said she has learned to pay atten- tion to the little, everyday miracles in her life so she can experience the "heavenly guidance" of coinci- dence. Having grown up in Quebec dur- ing the Depression, Klaus was sep- arated from her brothers and sisters when all were put up for adoption. Klaus was able to keep in touch with a few, but one of the many coincidences in her life enabled her to contact another. Calling her brother in Quebec, she dialed the wrong number. Upon asking for him, the woman said he didn't live there but she was his sis- ter. Klaus was speaking to a sibling she had lost contact with 35 years before. Plans were soon made for a reunion. Her most recent miracle occurred when a daughter Klaus had given up for adoption many years ago came knocking. The story began two years ago when a man called saying the young woman was looking for Klaus. Permission was given for the release of information and Klaus was reunited with her daugh- ter, Nadine, in Quebec, this past summer. While visiting, it was discovered that the parents of Nadine's friend had gone to school with Klaus. That long-time connection allowed Klaus to track down another broth- er whom she hadn't seen in 12 years. When she met her brother, she learned that he had a daughter named Chloe, born July 12. Nadine was born on the same date and her daughter's name is Chloe. With her amazing string of coin- Twp. covers pool West Wawanosh council approved the purchase of a pool safety cover, at a cost of $8,025, including taxes and labour. The cost will be split among four municipalities. The quoted price from Rintoul's Pools and Spas was accepted at the Nov. 3 session. A bylaw was passed to allow the temporary closure of certain roads as was a bylaw setting the salaries and honorarium for 1998. Council agreed with the town of Walkerton in their request for the provincial government to share the gasoline tax with municipalities. Road and general accounts totalling $15,362.24 and $48,272.39, were approved for pay- ment. Dr. John Hunt joined the busi- ness in 1981 and became a partner five years later. Dr. Kathy Hunt worked in the clinic for many years, but has been involved with raising her family for the last seven. She is now returning to vet- erinary medicine as the small ani- mal specialist for Brussels. Both Hunts are Guelph graduates. Dr. Petra Suidgeest joined the practice in 1998 after graduating from the Atlantic Veterinary Col- lege. She moved to Ontario so she could work more with dairy cattle. Suidgeest will continue to work mainly from the Newry office, but will be in Brussels when Kathy Hunt is not available. cidences, Klaus said "Extraordinary things happen everyday to every- body. Life is worth living just to see what happens next." John Hunt and Johnston general- ly work in the large animal prac- tice, dealing with beef, dairy and equine, particularly with reproduc- tive medicine. Johnston said much of the work is preventative. They also have an ultra-sound for both cattle and horses for reproductive health mon- itoring. Though appointments are required for small animals, Kathy Hunt said there will always be a vet available to clients. Of interest for pet owners, Hunt said behavioural medicine is a large part of what she does. It is particu- larly important for purebreds. Also employed by the two clinics is Stacey Boyd-Burgers in Brussels and Cindy Haverkamp and Helen Hubbert in Newry. The Brussels clinic will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. while Newry is open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Newry Brussels Veterinary Ser- vices offers 24-houfservice with a 1-800 number. Welcoming clients While Dr. Kathy Hunt checks a pup, Drs. Petra Suidgeest, left, Terry Johnston, centre, and John Hunt watch the proceedings.
