saw many interesting things

downtown Cleveland. They had a
stop at the Lakeview Cemetery

Beautiful mausoleums and
monuments to see. They enjoyed
good food and good friendship

UCW hosts hiking expert as guest speaker
The Walton Duff’s UCW held
their October meeting with Patty
Banks, Judy Lee and Jo-Ann
McDonald conducting the meeting.
They had guest speaker Anne
Melady, who was introduced by her
friend Judy Lee.
Anne spoke on her love of hiking
and how she became involved in the
“sport” after retiring. She has had
many wonderful experiences hiking
in Spain, New Zealand, Chile, Peru,
the Yukon, South America, Mexico
and, most recently in 2012, Mt.
Kilimanjaro in Africa. She made the
journey with two of her younger
friends to climb the 3.6-mile-high
mountain. There are four different
routes, with varying degrees of
difficulty to climb, and they chose
the “Whiskey” route. It took them
five days to make the trek up the
mountain, with two guides, nine
porters and one cook, in their group.
The hikers each had to carry their
own clothes and sleeping gear and
the porters carried the rest. The trek
was quite arduous at times and
because of the high altitudes,
breathing was the main problem.
High altitude sickness is very
common and the guides are trained
to take tests to confirm the oxygen
content of the blood of the hikers. If
a problem arises, they have medical
aid available and ways to evacuate
hikers down the mountain. They
began the last stretch of their
journey to reach the summit at 11
p.m. at night. While they had naps
prior to leaving, two inches of snow
fell on the top of the mountain, but
yet it was quite warm for their
morning arrival. The night start was
so they could reach the summit at
sunrise, a most beautiful site! It only
took two days for the descent (down
a much easier route.) It was a
wonderful adventure and Anne
reports anyone can take up hiking at
any age. Jo-Ann thanked Anne for
her presentation and presented her
with a small gift.
The group of 16 then enjoyed a
light lunch before continuing with
the business of the evening. They are
still looking for someone to fill the
archive position. A new cleaning
lady is needed as our current
person has submitted her
resignation.
Decorations for Thanksgiving for
the sanctuary can be placed by
anyone who wishes to bring them.
The turkey supper is only a few
weeks away and tickets are available
from members of the UCW. It is
advance tickets only, so get your
tickets early. The cleaning bee for
the kitchen is set for Monday, Oct.
28 starting at 9 a.m. A list will be
posted of jobs needing done, so
stroke them off as they are
accomplished. Come anytime on
Monday morning, afternoon or
evening, there will be a job to do!
Celebrating birthdays this past
week include Hannah Nolan
Slaught, Ken Storey, Bryce
Shortreed, Betty Newman, Matthew
Shortreed, Paulene Bennett, Shaye
Flaxbard, Paul Kirkby, Dianne
McCallum, Kara Godkin, and Joyce
Hartman. Happy birthday to all.

A true story
Chris Palmer from the Belgrave area took some time out of
his schedule recently to speak to members of the Grey 4-H
Club about PTO safety. (Photo submitted)
By Emma Baan
The fifth meeting of the Grey
Township Horsepower Hunters was
held at leader Monique Baan’s house
on Friday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. Eleven
members and many parents and
guests attended this meeting.
We opened the meeting in the
shop with the 4-H pledge. The roll
call question for members and
siblings was “Have you ever used
the PTO on a tractor?” Many
answered yes even though many
members are not in high school yet.
Our guest speakers were Chris and
Donna Palmer from the Belgrave
area. They talked about safety and
particularly the dangers with the
PTO. Chris told us his story about
the evening more than five years ago
when he was critically injured
because of the PTO. He told us how
important a shield on the PTO is and
how it could save our lives. Chris has
a computerized artificial knee and
leg and he showed us that. He
brought in his sweater that he was
wearing when the accident
happened, it was pulled off of his
body along with the rest of his
clothes and footwear, and it was
completely shredded.
President Nick Vinnicombe
thanked Chris and Donna for
coming and talking about PTOs and
the 4-H Club presented them with a
set of 4-H mugs and we will make a
donation to the WarAmps Champ
program, which is an important
organization that helps provide
artificial limbs to those in need.
After that everyone was invited
inside to have a snack. When we
were all finished snack, the members
brought their 4-H cards that they
received in the mail about a month
ago, these were sponsored by
Enbridge and are in celebration of
the 100th anniversary of 4-H
Canada. All of the members worked
together on building things out of
the card. We closed the meeting with
the 4-H motto, “Learn to do by
doing”.
