The Times Advocate, 2008-08-13, Page 31Wednesday, August 13, 2008 TIMES—ADVOCATE 31 CLASSIFIE CLASSIFIE CLASSIFIET Regional wrap up Tourists still coming GODERICH — With a struggling economy, tourists who might have gone out of the province are visiting Huron County, says the Goderich Signal -Star. Tourism Goderich travel counsellor Neil Salter said while there are not as many young families coming to the area, there are a lot of retirees making up the difference. He said the tourist centre sees between 120-150 people a day, which increases significantly when the weather is good. Winemaking in Huron CLINTON — Wine may be the next big product coming out of Huron County, says the Clinton News -Record. The idea comes from Richard Fitoussi, owner of the Little Inn in Bayfield, who has looked into the soil quality, geogra- phy and weather patterns of the area. Fitoussi says while looking for local food growers, he was surprised to find peach trees in the area known as the Huron County Ridge. He says if peach trees can grow here, so can grapes and there have been six varieties of grapes identified with the potential to grow here. Wind energy SEAFORTH — Suncor Energy has been signing agree- ments with Huron East landowners for possible wind power projects, says the Seaforth Huron -Expositor. Company spokesperson Coral Hulse says the Alberta company has been meeting with landowners since January and studying wind conditions in the area bor- dered by Winthrop Road, Manley Line, Highway 8 and Division Line. But plans for the project can only go so far since the area has been designated as an "Orange Zone" by the Ontario Power Authority, where the transmission system has limited or no ability to accept new generation. 760 Service Directory 760 Service Directory LORIE'S ADVANCED HAIR CARE RESPONSIBLE WOMAN - will - Full service hair care for Men & clean house, RV's, boats, cut grass, do Women.

Gellatly takes over United Way GODERICH — A talented and experienced fund developer with a strong background in marketing and public relations is joining Huron United Way as executive director. "It's a natural fit," says Michelle Gellatly, former executive director of three not for profit organiza- tions: Caritas Hospitals Foundation in Edmonton; Sunshine Dreams for Kids in London and Across Languages Translation and Interpretation Services also in London, Gellatly was approved by the board of directors May 26. "We are delighted to welcome Michelle to our dynamic organization," said board chairperson Randy Stanlake. "She brings a wealth of experience to the com- munity, and will continue to move the Huron United Way to the next level." Gellatly graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1983 with a Bachelor of Arts degree and in 2001 with an MBA specializing in Public Relations and Communications from Royal Roads University in Victoria, B.C. Her career spans small business, corporate, manufacturing, education, health care and not for profit sectors. In addition Gellatly has held development roles at the University of Alberta and Brescia College (London) building donor databases, volunteer and donor recognition programs, and strengthening alumnae and community relations. Gellatly lives in London but plans to move to Huron County, where she already has ties. One of the projects Gellatly is interested in is the Virtual Volunteer portal. She says many people would like to volunteer but have only a limited amount of hours and the online site will connect them to groups that will make the most of their time. While there are more groups than ever looking for fundraising dollars, Gellaty says as long as peo- ple can see where their money is going, the United Way will remain important. "It has to be personal," she says. "I think the important thing with the United Way is the money stays in Huron County...it's always been important that people help support their own community and 510 Help Wanted AZ TRUCK DRIVER Positions available hauling flatbeds, stepdecks and double drop and con- tainer chassis.
