Aric-MaryAnne-Wed

Aric Aguonie and Mary Anne Stear were married on October 14, 2011 in Peoria, IL. amongst a small family gathering. The next step still remains to get Mary Anne here (immigrated) to Canada.

Aric and Mary Anne met just over a year ago and became engaged in June with plans to wed in the fall of 2012. Unfortunately Mary Anne was stopped at the US/Canadian border for no justifiable reason, other than not having enough money in her bank account.

Both Aric and Mary Anne were advised by immigration offices on both sides of the border that all she needed to do was get to Canada, get married and then file the paperwork.

As a result if this incident, they have hired a lawyer to ensure that all proper steps are taken to have Mary Anne immigrate to Canada as a legal citizen. Moving up their wedding was another step in the process.

Family and friends held a fundraising garage sale on Sunday, September 4th at the Belleville Boxing Club, located at 1559 Hwy 37. It was a great success and we raised more than we expected. Thanks to great help and great support.

We will continue to raise money for this young couple. For details check out these links.

Mom (Arlene Aunger-Fluke) for cancelling all your plans for the weekend and driving from Barrie, Ontario to help out at the garage sale. Then making the journey possible for me to attend Aric's wedding. It was a lot of driving and miles on your car, etc. Your the greatest!

Why Buy Certified Organic

It's common sense - organic food is good food. Good to eat, good for the environment, good for the small scale farmer and farm workers who produce it.

As a consumer, you can help this trend continue by asking for and purchasing organically grown food, textiles, personal care, and other items.

To learn more about the benefits of organics, go to our Food & You pages.

How puzzling all these changes are! I'm never sure what I'm going to be, from one minute to another!
However, I've got back to my right size: the next thing is, to get into that beautiful garden - how is that to be done, I wonder?"
