Brian Garnet was serving up corn at the Huron Chapel
Evangelical Missionary Church fundraiser on Saturday. The
day included a silent auction, bake sale and beef barbecue.
A Toronto street pastor at St. Jordan Sanctuary told of his
ministry and what the needs are for the homeless people in
the city. The fundraiser brought in more than $1,500 from
donations, and the proceeds of the auction and bake sale.
Donations of warm clothing and blankets are still coming in,
so organizer Sandy Garnet expects there will be a couple
of van loads to take to Toronto. (Vicky Bremner photo)

Visitation was held at McCallum and
Palla Funeral Home on Sunday. The
funeral was held Monday.
Knox and Londesborough
churches held a combined service at
Ball's Church. The weather co-
operated and the scenery, as always,
was amazing. There was a quartet
from Londesborough consisting of
Barb Bosman, Brenda Radford,
Harry and Gail Lear. They sang three
selections. Ethan and Marshall
Durnin played several selections on
their violins, one melody which
consisted of a collection of their
great-uncle Ernie Durnin's favourite
tunes.
Bernice Anderson, Greg and
Nancy Park hosted Mary Mallory
from Kircaldy, Alberta and Ruth
Shackleton from Waterloo for a few
days. Mary's mother and Ruth's
mother-in-law was the former Fern
Patterson who was born in the
Auburn area, went to school at
SS#16 East Wawanosh and attended
church at Knox.
Mary and Ruth spent three days in
the area catching up with cousins
and friends before returning to their
perspective homes.
The friends of Ball's bridge have
been busy stirring up interest in
reopening the bridge. You will be
sure to hear more from them in the
future as they bring forward
everything from emergency response
times to the historical significance of
this structure. Each and every point
is extremely valid. They are urging
everyone to visit their website at
www.friendsofballbridge.com, sign
their petition (I believe I am number
675) or ask more questions. Do it
today! Time may be short for this
beautiful piece of Huron County
history.

Huron County councillors should
be well represented on the Source
Water Protection Planning
Committee, councillors decided at
their Sept. 7 meeting.
Under the provincial Clean Water
Act, given second reading last April,
the planning committee will be set
up for the Maitland and Ausable-
Bayfield watersheds, an area that
touches six counties and involves 22
municipalities. The committee will
include 15 people plus a chair.
Central Huron councillor Bert
Dykstra raised the issue of Huron's
representation, noting that despite
the far-flung nature of the area, the
majority of land covered is within
Huron County. He argued it would
be difficult to choose people from
the different lower-tier
municipalities to properly represent
the county so suggested the
appointments should be at the
county level.

club in Goderich). For more
information give anyone in Huron,
Grey or Bruce who belongs to a
writing group a call and they will be
able to help you find your way to the
buffet.
Annette Stephenson of Brussels
was here to visit on Friday and from
breakfast to lunch we never slowed
down. What a great visit. We had a
lot of catching up to do.
Now that everyone is back to
school and we are all into our
routines once again I hope to be
making some additions and changes
to my own website. Look me up at
www.debbiebauer.ca
"It's my opinion that the
appointments should come from the
county level," agreed Goderich
councillor Deb Shewfelt. "Huron
County is the largest land base in
both watersheds."
Ben Van Diepenbeek, councillor
for Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh
noted that two or three of the council
members were already members of
the Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority and others members of the
Ausable-Bayfield Conservation
Authority, meaning three or four
people were wearing multiple hats at
conservation-related meetings.
Planning director Scott Tousaw
recommended that councillors might
want to amend their motion that the
county request the opportunity to
appoint one of its members to the
committee to make it two or three.
An amendment was passed saying
the county requested up to three
members on the committee.
