Letter to the Editor Miners thanks locals for Beyond Borders support Quite the experience Jessica Miners, third from left, recently returned from a Beyond Borders mission trip to the Ukraine and she says she wouldn't have been able to help as many people as she did if it weren't for the generosity of the Brussels and Bluevale communities. (Photo submitted) Local students return to school PEOPLE AROUND WALTON By Jo -Ann McDonald Call 887-6570 It was a good first week of getting back to routine and back to school. A reminder to drivers that flashing red lights mean stop. There were a couple of reports of vehicles going through flashing lights during the first week, so let's everyone remember to watch for children and watch for the flashing lights. Returning from a trip to the U.S. were Don and Pat Dalton and friends Jim and Betty Ross. They went to Massachusetts and to Plymouth Rock where they saw a replica of the Mayflower. They travelled to the end of Cap Cod but because of bad weather, there were no boat crossings to Martha's Vineyard. They went on to Boston and then to Portland, Maine through the beautiful scenery, but commented that there wasn't much farmland to see. They went to North Conway, New Hampshire and then to Lake Placid. They checked out the Olympic sites and went up to the top of the ski jump. Wow! They had a BUY? SELL?

Our condolences to the family of Campbell Wey. He will be missed by his children Doug and Debbie and their families. A private family service was held. It was always a pleasure to visit with Campbell when he was still able to attend Duff's Church. We would sit in the back pew and share the soft chair cushion he had on the pew. A very nice man and he will be missed by all. Our condolences to the family of Fran Rose. She will be missed by her children Darwin and Tammy and their families. Fran was a very quiet lady and will be missed by her extended Cardiff and Rose families.

This experience was truly an opportunity of a lifetime! I worked at Petryky Internat with orphaned girls with various physical and mental disabilities. They ranged in age from six to 25. I started my placement by attending the local university to study the language and culture of Ukraine. I spent three weeks learning as much as I could before beginning my placement at the Internat. Petryky Internat (Orphanage) was home to 100 girls while I was there. These girls come from all over the country as well as neighbouring countries. My role there was to provide programming activities over the course of their summer as the orphanage does not provide programming once school is finished for the year. I had an amazing time working with these girls over the summer. We celebrated Canada Day with the girls and introduced them to Canadian snacks like s'mores! Walks to the park and ferry rides were favourite day trips we did with the girls. Dancing, egg hunts, soccer, Lego projects and camping are just a few activities we did with the girls this summer. They loved every minute of it and without the support of the local communities and organizations I would not have been able to bring an exciting and eventful summer to my Ukrainian sisters!
