THROUGH THE VIEWFINDER
2004: A year in pictures
South Huron District High School hosted the Alzheimer Society of Huron
County's Walk for Memories Jan. 24, during which 20 walkers walked the
school's halls to raise money for Alzheimer's disease. Above from left are
Nancy Deitz, Tracy Gearlds and Jayne Glenn. Walks were also held in
Clinton, Seaforth, Goderich and Wingham. While numbers were down
from last year, Alzheimer Society executive director Cathy Ritsema said
bad weather was probably the reason. Preliminary numbers
had $1,200 raised in Exeter, down from last year's $2,100.

Violent winds tore through parts of Huron and Perth counties April 18, leaving in
its wake damaged homes, barns, vehicles and trees. While short-lived, the high
winds exceeded 100 km/h and, above, destroyed a 14 -year-old 50 X 70 foot shed
on Vern and Mona Alderdice's farm just north of Hensall on Hwy. 4. Vern
Alderdice, who wasn't home at the time, said his wife told him the roar from the
winds shook the whole house.The shed was insured, but Alderdice said it proba-
bly won't cover the replacement costs. Alderdice had friends and family helping
him clean up his field the next day. (photo/Scott Nixon)
