BEETS
Beets have more sugar than
any other vegetable, and are
high in many vitamins. Every
part of the plant is edible -
leaves, stems and roots!
Beet juice is used in winter
time as a road de-icer.

Local man pursues metalworking passion at market

township out of her home office.
Michie thanked her family, her
councillors and the mayors under
which she served, many of whom
were in attendance that day,
including the last three Morris-
Turnberry mayors: Heffer, Paul
Gowing and Dorothy Kelly.
She said that while over the course
of her 40-year career she has
attended approximately 2,000
council meetings, only a handful of
them stand out in her mind. One, she
said, was among her first in the late
1970s, when a pair of women
barged into the council chambers
and began yelling at the mayor and
council.
Michie said she began to wonder
what she had signed up for, but the
job proved to be much smoother in
the years to come. For that Michie
also thanked Morris-Turnberry
residents, who she said were always
pleasant.
She also pointed to a number of
successes along the way, including
Morris-Turnberry establishing a
part-ownership of Huron East’s
Brussels fire station in order to bring
the municipality into provincial
compliance.
The speed with which that
agreement came to be, in the face of
not being able to reach a deal with
North Huron, was amazing by
municipal standards, she said. It had
been those types of relationships
with neighbouring municipalities
that made her job a joy and helped
Morris-Turnberry achieve all that it
has over the last 40 years.
She also took a dive into the
history books and found that her 40
years, though staggering when first
heard, are not that unusual in a great
place to work like Morris and then
Morris-Turnberry. In Morris
Township’s 162-year history, there
have only been five long-term clerks
and six long-term treasurers. That,
she said, is an average clerk career of
32 years.
“That doesn’t happen in every
municipality,” she said, adding that
Morris-Turnberry was a great place
to work for a very long time.
Michie looks back during party
Brussels’ Gord Garrow recently
decided that if he was ever going to
get into blacksmithing, the birth of
his daughter presented a now-or-
never moment.
Garrow opened Fire Lilly Forge to
pursue his passion of metal working,
something he’s been interested in for
years.
“Once my daughter was born, I
decided I’d better get out and try it
or else I may never get to,” he
said.
Garrow is fascinated by metal
working and other similar hands-on
professions, he said, and it just made
sense for him to pursue this
opportunity.
He makes decor for homes
currently, working out of his garden
shed and in front of the Brussels
Four Winds Barn during the weekly
farmers’ market, offering a glimpse
of how metal working is done.
“I mostly make wall hooks and
decor for the home, like lantern
hangers and camping stuff,” he said.
“I’m focusing on smaller things until
I can build myself up and build my
skill set. Once I get a shop built, I can
move on to bigger things like fences,
gates and other projects like that.”
Right now, the forge is a part-time
devotion for Garrow, he said, that he
fits in whenever he’s able to around
his full-time job at Erie Meats in
Listowel.
Garrow, who grew up in Seaforth
before moving to Brussels five years
ago, said that the name of his
company, like the inspiration to start
metal working, came from his
nickname for his daughter Lillian.
For more information on the
company or his works, look for Fire
Lilly Forge on Facebook or reach
