It has been a difficult week for us in Walton as our family has suffered the loss of a loved one. A long-time Walton resident, Leona McDonald passed away this week. She hadbeen in hospital since mid-November and after a courageousstruggle, quietly slept away. Leona was the mother of Neil, Karin and my husband Rick McDonald. She had lived in Walton since 1947 and married Ken McDonald in October of 1950 and began her life as a farmer’s wife and then mother of three. She was an active member of the community being a Charter member of the Walton Women’s Institute, Duff’s United Church Board, U.C.W. and choir, Walton Hall Board, Seaforth Hospital Board, Brussels Fair Board andBrussels Legion. She enjoyedknitting, hockey, baseball, readingand meeting with the various folks at the Walton, Brussels and Seaforth coffee shops. Leona was a hard worker, would be outspoken and noisy and not always right, but she should be remembered for her boisterous laugh and her support of her family, friends and community. The Walton Hall was the venue for the surprise birthday party for Gary Souch. His friends and family gathered and it was not until his arrival and the recognition of many of the vehicles, that he suspected the gathering was for him. They had a great night of fun, laughter and food to celebrate his “you guess” birthday. Happy birthday Gary. The Cranbrook Dart Club gathered on Jan. 19 with 21 players aiming at the boards. Teuni Smith ended high with a score of 97 andNathan Klingengerg with a 120.Some of the club players have beendown and out with flu, cold etc. and hopefully all the players are back to good health again and ready to get out for some good competition and fun. Our area hospitals still have many of our Walton/Brussels folks as patients. The Clinton Hospital has Kathleen Williamson and Gerald Watson and Listowel Hospital has Jean Evans and Bob Cunningham as patients. Celebrating birthdays this past week included Marie Coutts, Henry Grobbink, Kaitlin Richie, Leona Armstrong, Helen Duncan, Brandon McGavin, Helen Williamson, Scott Bromley, Brenda McIntosh, Ryan Jacklin and Sheldon Lee. Happy Birthday to all. Walton loses long-time resident Leona McDonald By Jo-Ann McDonald Call 887-6570 PEOPLE AROUNDWALTON NEWS FROM WALTON WI welcomes artists, riders to meetings By Bev Craddock The Majestic Women’s Institute has been very busy over the winter with shut-in boxes, a Huronlea birthday party and donations to the food bank, Ag-Water Festival, Women’s Shelter, Town and Country Services and planning soup and sandwich lunches and card parties. On Jan. 12, the Women’s Institute met at Cinnamon Jim’s. Thirteen members and one guest met for a delicious lunch. Afterwards everyone went to the basement of the Brussels Library for a quick business meeting. Olivia introduced Dale Sauve, a local artist who works with wood and scroll work. In a matter of a minute he took a small twig and made some small slices in the twig and presented a wooden flower. His specialty is fan- carving, he is one of only a handful of people in North American still carving this way, with a small block of white cedar, a few cuts here and a bunch of slices later a hummingbird appears like magic with open fan wings and tail on a three- dimensional body. He also showed us scroll saw-work picture frames, baskets and jewellery boxes. You can see his work at local craft shows or call him at home. The second guest speakers were Ashleigh and Jennifer from the Regional Equine Agriculture Centre of Huron, also known as REACH, an education centre for equine and agricultural programs in Clinton. They offer adult and youth services recreational riding lessons and day camps offering riding, cooking and archery. They also do weddings and birthday parties. So much information, best to check out their website: www.reachhuron.ca. The next meeting is on Feb. 9 at the Brussels Library. Talk to us instead.
