According to the church's pastor, Ken deBoer, what was actually quite a small fire caused a tremendous amount of smoke and water damage. Work has been going on steadily, first removing the old damaged materials, and then putting the church back together. Almost the entire interior has been repainted and carpet has been replaced. Areas nearer the fire were totally removed and replaced. The congregation has been meeting in the other churches in town with their worship services in the Pres- byterian Church and pro- grams going in on the United and Anglican churches. Pastor deBoer says that while the congregation has been overwhelmed by the hospitality of the other con- gregations in town, they are really looking forward to being "home" again.

Big Changes Afoot for the Alice Munro Festival New Name, New Dates and New Co -Directors Announced to Lead 2015 Submitted The Alice Munro Festival was developed, in the Town- ship of North Huron in 2003, by the Wingham and Area Historical Society to honour the body of work created by Alice Munro. In 2009, the Festival went into abeyance for three years before it was revitalized as the Alice Munro Writers and Readers Festival in 2012. Over three years the Festival created unique literary events, attracted international visi- tors and grew participation in the annual Short Story Competition by 500%. In fall 2013, Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Litera- ture.

Guided by an outside consultant, the Festival is again choosing new dates and a new name for 2015 and beyond. The "Alice Munro Festival of the Short Story" is an annual three-day festival dedicated to nurturing emerging writers of the short story and to developing an audience for the literary form that earned Alice Munro the Nobel Prize in Literature. Under the leader- ship and vision of Mary Wolfe and Mary Brown - Fes- tival co -Directors - the Festi- val will take place the first weekend in June annually beginning June 5-7, 2015. "In 2015 the Festival will have enormous opportunity to attract high profile writers of short fiction thanks to one-time funding through the Ministry of Training, Universities and Colleges and a local Labour Market Partnership grant," reported outgoing Chair, Karen Stewart. The Directors will receive an honorarium to lead the Festival previously produced by volunteers. "This change in structure allows the Festival to grow in new ways," says Stewart. "Mary Brown and Mary Wolfe are the perfect co - Directors, as both have cre- ated and produced the pop- ular Bayfield Writers Festival when independent owners of the Village Bookshop in Bayfield. Their contacts in publishing will be invaluable in their new roles." The popular Short Story Competition will remain a key focus of this Festival. Competition guidelines, deadlines and full details of the weekend's new events will be announced in late January. The Alice Munro Festival operates as a sub -committee of the Township of North Huron. It is supported, in part, by Howick Mutual Insurance Company, How- son & Howson Ltd., Royal Homes Ltd., Stainton's Home Hardware and other supporting organizations, businesses and individuals.
