PEOPLE AROUND
WALTON

Cancun, Mexico was the
destination for Steve Knight and
Mami Dingman. The resort Oasis
was fantastic. They had a week of
hot weather, good food and great
fun. They enjoyed a nine-hole golf
course for some golf, as well as
snorkeling along the reef.
They took a tour to Chichenizia,
the most popular and famous Mayan
ruins. They were brave enough to
venture to the top of the pyramid on
the very, very narrow steps. Mami
reports being scared silly and not too
keen on coming back down, but she
made it and lived to tell me the story.
Brian Black and Joan Tuchlinsky
made the LTI Costa Verdic Beach
resort at Holguin, Cuba their
getaway destination. Joan reports
perfect weather to enjoy the many
activities such as beach volleyball,
pool volleyball, kayaking and
waterpolo. They enjoyed great food
and a wonderfully relaxing week.
They met people from the
Waterloo area. Isn’t it always
amazing to run into people from
close to home?
Travelling north to the extreme
cold temperatures for snowmobiling
were some local men. Ron
McCallum, Bill McClure, Barry
Hoegy, Harold McCallum, Wayne
Hartman and three Mitchell-area
men went to Lake Nipissing and
Russel McCallum’s cottage. It was
very cold at -33°C early in the week
but was really nice weather for
snowmobiling at the end of the
week.
The Brussels Curling Club took a
bus with 36 members and friends to
Kitchener to the Scott Tournament
of Hearts on Wednesday. They saw
the afternoon and evening games.
Between the games, there was a
live show of interviews with Quebec
men’s Champion Guy Hennings and
TV hosts Cathy Gauthier and John
Wells. The MC interviewed Pauline
Patterson, Annette Lewington and
Gary Pipe on how they were
enjoying their day. Gary and I were
also brave enough to ask questions
of the panel.
We all had a lot of fun and saw
some really good games. Lots of
other local people were there and a
correction from last week is that we
saw Gerald Knight not Rick.
The final game on Sunday
afternoon was great with the
Newfoundland, Labrador team
having their chance but Team
Canada coming out on top.
Travelling to Toronto to see the
Toronto Maple Leafs play the
Nashville Predators on Sunday night
was Brian Black. The weather
wasn’t great for travelling and the
game wasn’t so good for Leaf fan
Brian as they lost to the Predators.
A couple of friends of Walton are
in hospital. Ken McDonald is a
patient in Listowel hospital and
Isobel Huether is a patient in
Seaforth Hospital. We wish them
both improved health.
We are pleased to report that Idel la
Hubley is home from hospital and is
feeling better.
A snowmobile accident has Devin
Blake sidelined for the next while.
He suffered back injuries and is in a
London Hospital at time of writing.
We wish him a full and speedy
recovery.
Well many of the students have
gone back to college and university
but a different bunch are now
home.
Many Waltoners enjoyed the
men’s curling bonspiel last
Wednesday in Seaforth. McGavin’s
are one of the sponsors and
congratulations to McGavins for
their continued support of curling in
our area.
The Brussels Curling Club hosted
its mixed bonspiel last Saturday and
Walton was well represented.
Walton teams with a couple of
Brussels imports placed third, fourth
and fifth. Team members included
Mary Bernard, Steve Knight, Brenda
Linton and Mike Thomas; Jo-Ann
McDonald, Dave Linton, Rose
Kellington and Joe Ryan; Rick
McDonald, Vai Shortreed, Carmen
Bernard and Mami Dingman. A lot
of fun and moans and groans were
shared by all.
Congratulations to Manny and
Andrea Taylor of the birth of their
daughter, Maleah on Feb 11.
Birthday babies last week
included Nelson Ryan, Helen
Brenie, Kevin McNaughton, Steve
Knight, Christopher Becker, Bruce
McDonald, Chris Lee, Adam
Hamilton, and Terry Nichol.
FROM WALTON
WLS’s Acorn class
busy building houses
M. Humphries hosts WI
The Walton Women’s Institute met
at the home of Marjorie Humphries
with seven members present. Ruth
Axtman was in charge of the
meeting and the topic was What
Subject I would Like to Learn
About.
All the members answered and
discussed the question.
It was announced that the ACWW
church service will be held at
Walton’s Duff’s United Church the
last Sunday in April.
The East Huron choir of which
Marjorie Humphries and Marion
Godkin are members, will be singing
that day.
In business, they discussed giving
a donation to the Walton Hall Board
of $200 toward the possible painting
of the hall.
The Walton Little School’s Acorn
class has been busy working on their
house. One bedroom and one
bathroom are just about complete. A
special thank you to the parents who
have donated carpet, wallpaper,
boxes, and floor samples for them to
build the rooms with.
When they are not working on the
house, the children are busy writing
in their journals and reading great
stories.
The children of the junior
preschool class have been busy
learning about their bodies.
They did a digestive diagram
learning what the heart and lungs do
and how the body keeps the “good
stuff’ we eat and discards the “bad
stuff’.
They are also working hard on an
All About Me book. The children
have been very happy wtih the
warmer weather so they can play on
the hill with their crazy carpets and
toboggans.
A INSURANCE PREMIUMS TOO HIGH? A
M-T to discuss zoning changes
A public meeting was held Feb. 18
in conjunction with the Morris-
Tumberry council session to discuss
zoning amendments for Glen
Warwick Farms Ltd..
The zoning under consideration
affects Part Lot 31, Cone. 1 in
Morris, and would see a change from
restricted agriculture-special
provisions to village residential-
special provisions. The special
provision would limit the use of an
existing bam to dry storage. The
total area involved in .18 hectares
(.44 acres).
Clerk-Treasurer Nancy Michie
read a report from the county
planning department stating support
for the proposal.
A bylaw was passed permitting the
rezoning, pending the 20-day appeal
period.
Council has also requested that a
privacy fence be installed according
to condition six and an agreement
will be drawn.
***
A rezoning for Part Lot 1, Cone. 7,
for H.J. Sieber Farms Ltd., was also
discussed.
The rezoning would change the
designation from general agriculture
to agricultural small holding-special
provisions and would affect .76
hectares (1.88 acres).
After hearing of the county’s
support for the proposal, a bylaw
was passed to allow the rezoning,
pending the 20-day appeal period.

Council approved a donation to
Wheels Away.

Following a presentation by
Animal Control Officer Bob Trick,
council passed a resolution to be sent
to Huron MPP Helen Johns and
Huron-Bruce MP Paul Steckle
stating that hunting should not be
stopped.

for the Blyth and District Fire
Department which included an
increase in the requested levy, up

Council deferred any decisions on
the budget and asked that the fire
board representatives report back to
the council following the next board
meeting.
In another fire-related matter,
council reviewed a listing of fire
calls collected and outstanding. Two
outstanding fire calls from 1997 will
be submitted to small claims court.

from adjacent landowners on
Johnston Lane in Bluevale so
council will proceed with the
transfer of ownership.
