A dinner was held at the Zurich Mennonite Church Hall. The groom is the son of Larry and Ann McBride of RR 1, Zurich. Bob and Vickie Hutchinson and three daughters have returned to their home in Saudi Arabia after spending the summer months at their cottage in Southcott Pines and visiting with relatives in the area. Vickie is the daughter of Vesta and Hubert Miller of Dashwood. Bean Festival I guess you can plan everything but not the weather. As our 40th annual Bean Festival got off to a good start Friday evening with the car show. Saturday was fine until the afternoon when it rained off and on most of the time. So, people began leaving the village early. But the bean dinners kept going on under cover at various places and even at the arena. Draws were made as scheduled with lots of winners. The Blue Water Rest Home women's auxiliary quilts were won by Jennifer Earle of London (who is a granddaughter of Herb and Donna Klopp). A tied quilt was won by Flo Janower of Kitchener. St. Joseph St. Peter's Catholic Women's League quilt was won by Dianne Miller of RR 2, Zurich. Zurich St. Boniface Catholic Women's League quilt was won by Rose -Marie Regier. The Knights of Columbus draw win- ners from St. Boniface Parish were Martha Risi of Zurich, patio set; Libby Soudant, RR 1 Zurich, weed eater; George Suplat of Zurich, grape vine tree. A family get-together was held at the home of Peter and Carolyn Mathonia on Sun., Aug. 28 with family members on Peter's side from various places. Have you ever been out for a nice long quiet walk (or jog) along the Pioneer Trail at the Klopp Commemorative Woods? It is sponsored by J. M. McBeath Funeral Home and the Lions Club of London. There benches to sit and relax at the end of the trail as well as a lovely flower garden. Wally Kurth from Newfoundland is presently visiting with his niece, Claudia and Dwayne Martin and two boys. He helped at the Bean Festival kitchen all last week. A surprise 70th birthday party was held at the ZURICH NEWS home of Dwayne and Claudia Martin for Irvin Martin. John and Mary Earle and three children recent- ly returned home after travelling to various places for the past five weeks. They visited with his mother and relatives in Labrador. He also did some veterinarian work while he was there. The Earle's spent some time in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and visited Mary's brother and family in Prince Edward Island and attended the July wedding of her niece. Congratulations to Janet and Damien Willert on the arrival of their baby girl Olivia Marie born Aug. 25. Grandparents are Greg and Agnes Willert of Grand Bend and Mary and Hub Thiel, RR 3, Zurich. School starts School starts again for the children on Tues., Sept. 6 and I am sure they are all anxious to get back again. Once again, the volun- teer appreciation potluck supper at the Zurich Complex last Thursday was a delicious meal for those who helped at the Zurich Fair in July. Audrey Smith and her two sisters, Wanda of Kitchener and Margaret Dodge of Sudbury trav- elled to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan recently to visit their brother, Thomas. Father Gary Ducharme from St. Alphonse Parish Tractor and pickup collide on Airport Line SOUTH HURON - On Aug. 20 a tractor and pickup collided on Airport Line in South Huron. A 2001 blue Ford tractor was going northbound when the driver decided to turn into a residence just off Airport line. The driver didn't notice a vehi- cle passing him. A 17 -year-old man from Parkhill, also driving northbound on Airport Line decided to pass the slower moving tractor. As a result of the collision the pickup truck left the road - Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello All carbonated soda drinks (pop) are acidic in nature and can have an adverse effect on the enamel of our teeth. Other teeth enemies are hard candies, jelly beans and other sweet sticky confections. It's always good to rinse your mouth after eating or drinking any of these. And floss well at least once daily. Do you wash all your fruit before eating? It's a good idea. This includes cantaloupe, bananas, watermelon etc. Even though we don't eat the rind or peel, these still can carry bacteria that can be harmful to us. Much of the fruit travels long distances and is touched by many people. Wash then eat. Good advice. We see some new sports drinks contain extra amounts of caffeine... as much as 125 mg per can. There are even some beers with added caffeine now. It's not a good idea to depend on stimulants, like caffeine, for energy. The best energy comes from a well-balanced diet not from a can of pop or beer. If you are taking a fibre supplement, like Metamucil, for your bowels, it will work better if you take it with meals.
