Rain doesn't dampen Bean Festival dinners
By Carmel Sweeney
ZURICH CORRESPONDENT
ZURICH -
Congratulations to Mike

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.

Saskatchewan recently to
visit their brother,
Thomas.

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.
