Spring can’t be that far away. I did see a raccoon out and about last week when the sun was shining brightly and it was almost mild at -7°C. He was a scruffy looking thing, but he was in the middle of the road, but remembered enough to run when he heard traffic coming. Pigeons have returned around our place and are busy scratching around looking for food. Flies adorn the warm southern windowsills again and a dead skunk in the middle of the road, means it must be almost spring. The changing of the time by springing forward an hour, means darker in the mornings again, but more daylight at night. They all must be signs of spring! Returning from a week’s vacation in Florida are Andy and Sarah Overholt, Erin and Sam. They went for a visit with Jack and Sue Overholt in Davenport, near Orlando. They had a great time, enjoyed the warmer temperatures and relaxed and explored the area. The McKillop birthday girls gathered on Tuesday morning at the Walton Inn to celebrate a March birthday. The birthday girl this month is Jeanette Robinson. The gathering enjoyed catching up with one another and a good breakfast as well. The ladies gathered included Jeanette, Carol Reinink, Karen Braecker, Jennifer Vellinga, Yolanda Gubelman and Judy Beuerman. The ladies were also expecting Brenda Bernard to join the gathering. Happy birthday Jeanette. Returning from a vacation in Mexico are Warren and Judy Beuerman. Judy was back in time to celebrate the March birthday at Walton Inn. The couple was in Cancun and had hot weather and a great time making new friends. They went touring on ATVs and in spite of “eating” a little dust, it was really fun they report. It was party time at the home of Steve and Barb Bowles on Saturday night. They were celebrating Aunt Velma Locking’s 60th birthday. Guests included Ralph Locking, Bob and Joyce Alexander and the Bowles family. Happy birthday to Velma! The start of March and there were only 17 players out for the Cranbrook Dart Club night. Team Three, consisting of Brad Speiran and Doug Evans, captured five out of six games. High lady was Karen Bowles hitting 78 and high man was Murray Houston. He accomplished hitting 140 twice in one night. Another player, Mark Gillis, a substitute, also hit the high 140. An amazing night for highs. The lucky darter for the night was George Zwep. There are only a few more weeks of nights to play, so hopefully the vacationing members and the sick members, will all be able to attend the few remaining nights! Welcome back to Ruth Lowe. She is back on duty at the Brussels Variety after her 10-day vacation in Florida. She stayed with her sister Kathy and husband Keith in LaBelle, near Fort Myers. She reports great weather with the low temperature of 68°F one day. Several area folks travelled to Buffalo, New York to attend a concert on the weekend. Scott McDonald, Barry and Sarah Young and others from Seaforth, went to the First Niagara Center to see Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. They report the two-and-a-half-hour concert was amazing and the near 20,000 in attendance were enthralled with the show. Our condolences to the many Glanville families on the passing of Shelley Glanville of Fort George, Saskatchewan. She will be missed by husband Art and family John and Kyle and the many Glanvilles. Our sympathies to all. The members of Duff’s United Women held their business meeting on the first Wednesday of March. There were 11 ladies present. The social committee led the meeting with Jo-Ann McDonald as chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and the treasurer presented her report. There was very little to report as there have been no meetings and only one function. Heidi McClure reported that her committee is preparing to deliver Easter gifts to the shut-ins. The social committee reported that there are three functions to prepare for in the coming months. Other business included the group is still looking for a member to look after archives and a secretary is needed. The World Day of Prayer service was held at Duff’s United on Friday, March 6. There was a good crowd attending the service. Service was led by Joyce Lammerant and was written by the women of the Bahamas. Several ladies of Duff’s participated in the service including Karen Hoegy, Gloria Wilbee and Helen Craig. The lunch was organized by Group 1 with Marion Godkin and her helpers.

Happy birthday to all. A special day Friday was World Day of Prayer at Duff’s United Church in Walton. Dozens came out on the sunny day to praise God and participate in a service written by the women of The Bahamas. The guest speaker for the Walton service was Joyce Lammerant, a Goderich-based, Jamaican native pastor. (Shawn Loughlin photo) By Jo-Ann McDonald Call 887-6570 PEOPLE AROUND WALTON NEWS FROM WALTON
