(from 1875 to 1900 & 1935 to 1959) Cool summers are alright by me A lot of people have been com- plaining for the past few months and asking where summer is? They have been complaining about the fact the sunny and warm weatheris taking its sweet time getting here. I, for one, think the weather has been, great. I like the weather in the low to rind 20 degrees celsius- range. It's probably because autumn is my favourite time of the year. The leaves start to change and it's when the air gets niceand crisp. I know a lot of people like to bake in the summer heat and go to the beach and cool off in the water. 1, on the other hand, prefer the cool fall air where it's comfortable to go and take a walk. Taking a walk: in just the summer makes . me sweat buckets : most of the time. For a lot of people, fall means the end of freedom because school starts back up and I wasn't a big fan of that when was in school, but it was the start of hockey and most of the school sports at school. I love being in a climate where you don't. sweat .while • just sitting, that's probably. why *going on a trip to a trop- ical locale doesn't do a whole lot for me. My • ideal vacation would be Europe, to be specific a World War 11 tour where I could actual- ly see where the Canadian battles were fought and the structures that memorialized their sacrifice. A person's preference in . the weather is .based on their personali- ty, I guess. I'm pretty laid back so _1 like the calmness of autumn. For summer people, they are out going and like to be a little more' ener- getic than someone like myself. Another reason i enjoy, the cooler months is my birthday falls on Nov. 12 and it's always a good time to reconnect with ; family and ;friends, which is always a good thing. ide for eroes coming to Wingham BY SHAWN LOUGHLIN Blyth Citizen Staff A drive from London to Wingham, being called the Ride For Heroes isnearing confirmation, looking to take place on Aug. 22 to benefit a scholarship in the name of fallen Wingham soldier Matt Dinning. Dinning, son of OPP Officer Lincoln Dinning and his wife Laurie was killed while serving in Afghanistan in 2006. The drive, which will feature mostly motorcycles, but some cars as well, is meant to raise funds for a scholarship in Dinning's name at his former high school, F.E. 1Vladili Secondary School. . The event's organizer, Scott Aldridge of London, a former mili- tary police officer, says the event will feature military police as well as civilian, military and emergency services personnel making the trip from London to Wingham's Richard W. LeVan Airport. At the airport, displays will honour Canadian mili- tary heroes. At the airport, a barbecue lunch and dinner will be held in addition to a performance by musician Dale Goodie., who wrote Died With Pride, a song honouring fallen mili- tary personnel. While Aldridge is organizing the event, the idea to honour Dinning in such a: manner came from Wingham Police Services chief Tiin . Poole who was disappointed in the absence of military police at last year's Remembrance Day ceremony in Wingham. Poole, a former military police officer himself made the initial con- tact, calling other military police officers, quickly making plans to honour Dinning as well as others with an event. Members of the public are invited to take part in the ride by meeting at the Canadian Forces Area Support Unit at the Elizabeth Street Gates to register, which will cost $30. Drivers and riders will receive a memento to mark the occasion as well as a tax receipt for $25. The ride will leave London just after 10 a.m. The goal, says Aldridge, is to raise $5,000 for the scholarship fund: And if it's' successful, he says, it could become an annual event.

Toni Fritz, of Fritz Concrete, was at Huron -Kinloss' council meeting on Aug. 4, 1999, to explain how a possible pigbaht,: near the hamlet of Kinlough, wouldn't be a prob- lem to the area residents. Fritz who was met' by about 40 concerned Kinlough and surrounding area residents, told council he understands the residents' concerns. One of the biggest concerns is. the odour the pig barn could give off. - The rain didn .._.t dampen. the spurts of organizers and vis- itors to the l4Oth annual Dungannon Fall Fair.
