Vacations to get away from winter are popular. Some people get away to warmer climates and some people just get away. Returning from her vacation is Helen Craig. She has been for a trip to the west coast to visit with her sister, Mary Elliott in Burnaby, B.C. She was away 10 days and one day was spent touring Squamish, a lovely scenic area spot just to check it out. Then it was on to watch the Canadian Figure Skating Championship in Vancouver. Helen’s daughter Shannon joined the sisters on Tuesday to attend the figure skating programs. Many from Walton will remember that Shannon is quite an accomplished figure skater herself. Helen reports there were no surprise winners at the championships except in the men’s division. They attended the programs from Wednesday until Sunday, then Helen and Shannon returned together to good old Walton. Helen says they had great weather with temperatures from 5 - 7°C. A few snowflakes fell one day. Returning from a trip that featured much warmer weather, a lot of water and fabulous sightseeing were Lorne and Bonnie Glanville. They flew to Vancouver where they spent a few hours visiting with their son Paul, his wife Theresa and girls Meagan and Erica. Meeting them in Vancouver were Alex, Lorne’s brother and Gail Glanville, from Saskatchewan. They joined them on the next leg of their journey. They flew off to Hawaii to board a beautiful ship to cruise the Hawaiian Islands and the Pacific Ocean. They stopped at four different islands and were off the ship to enjoy magnificent tours. They enjoyed a lot of walking, saw lava fields, steam rising from cracks in the lava, rain forest areas and brilliant colours of foliage. The one island was Fanning Island, near the equator. The island is undeveloped and the people live primitively. The cruise company has built a small facility with some of the usual amenities for the visitors. Bonnie was amazed that there are still parts of our world so under- developed. They report an absolutely wonderful trip that they consider their birthday and a special anniversary present to themselves for the 2008 year. They brought home a great tan, great memoriesand a few souvenirs for thegrandchildren, such as a grass skirt. In hospital at this time is Marie Coutts. She is a patient in Clinton and we wish her our hopes for feeling better and a speedy recovery. The Walton Hall was the place for the Huron-Perth-Middlesex Beef Breeders Co-operative Ltd. to hold their annual meeting. They enjoyed a soup and sandwich supper provided by the Hall board prior to the meeting. Work is progressive at the Walton ball park on the construction of the wireless internet tower being built by TCC. The cement trucks moved in last week and poured the cement for the base. Work continues with a completion date set for a couple of weeks. A snowmobile accident has landed Curtis Ryan in hospital in Wingham. We wish him a speedy recovery. A welcome back to Walton and P&H goes to Dave Wheeler. Dave has returned as manager after a seven-year absence and as he says “Some will like me back and some will not”. Whatever the case, he’s back. Also returning to Walton, after a brief stint in Centralia P&H, is Roger Swance. A welcome back to Roger! Returning from a few days of winter camping is Neil McGavin. He joined a few friends from London to travel to west of North Bay to spend from Thursday until Sunday experiencing the wonders of the great and (cold) outdoors. One day they went snowshoeing for 10 kms and cooked lunch over the open fire. Neil returned no worse for wear and reports a good time. Taking time to go ice fishing this past weekend were quite a few local gents. Making the long drive to fish on Nippissing were Mike Boven, Joe Ryan, Terry Sloan, Harold Bridge, Dave Vincent, Mark Nesbitt and another friend. They report having great fishing luck and even had to throw some back in when they had reached their limit. Not many fish came home, because they consumed most of the perch and pickerel. Their weekend in the hut on the ice is a great time when it is equipped with most everything a man needs. Beds, cookstove, propane heater, etc. Mary Humphries had a lovely day on Sunday when she was able to attend her brother’s 85th birthday open house in Newmarket. Mary’s family including Bob and Nora, Wenda and Bob and Kim and George were all able to be in attendance and accompany Mary. The open house for Dr. John Bennett was hosted at the home of his daughter Jane and was just “wonderful”. The Taylor families on Walton Road have had a busy time this past month for many different reasons. In no particular order, we had a birth of a son Connor, for Matt and Ashley Taylor, a new grandson for Jim and Crystal Taylor; an engagement for Jenna Taylor to Jordan Gibbings, so now the planning begins for an at-home wedding and just recently Harold (Boyd) Taylor has been in hospital. We hope he is on the mend and back on his feet soon. Celebrating birthdays to finish up January were Scott Bromley, Brenda McIntosh, Ryan Jacklin, Chris Ryan and Mark Wilbee. There was a good crowd on hand at Duff’s United Church, Walton last Sunday on Bring a Friend to Church or Sunday School Sunday. There were nearly 30 young people in attendance. They enjoyed a service that included Rev. Sandra Yule’s Celtic theme, and the sharing of her Celtic candy. The lighting of the candles was done by Annalies, Caleb and William Ringgenberg. Rev. Sandra’s church bear was returned after his week’s visit to the home of Jacob and Errick Gulutzen. After having a busy time, church bear is staying with Rev. Sandra to have a rest this week. Music for the service was provided by Phyllis and Sean Mitchell on the violins prior to the service and during the offering. A special treat was the playing of Amazing Grace on the bagpipes by Jamie Mitchell with Phyllis joining in on the violin on the second verse at the end of the service. A soup and apple crisp lunch was served by the Sunday school following the service. Nearly 80 people were present to enjoy the meal and social time together. Annual reports and receipts are available at the church. Donna McClure is taking on the position of bulletin secretary. Don’t forget to be saving cash register tapes from Zehrs, Foodland and Scrimgeour’s and empty printer ink cartridges. Put them in the boxes in the kitchen. Good turnout to Duff’s By Jo-Ann McDonald Call 887-6570 PEOPLE AROUNDWALTON NEWS FROM WALTON Submitted by Erin McMahon and Nathan McNichol, Grade 3/4 This winter season is like a fast and exciting tobaggon run for Grey Central students. Kindergarten students are enjoying a winter theme complete with poems and a wonderful wall mural of snow people. Grade 1/2s are busy classifying animals, playing measurement math games, learning about celebrations and traditions and retelling, relating and reflecting on stories they've read. Grade 2/3 students have just finished measurement, become scientists experimenting with liquids, solids and gases, have created a lovely quilt and recently munched on homemade cornbread - thanks to volunteer moms. Grade 3/4s have their noses in their books, creating character can and character profile book reports, are peering through magnifying glasses at interesting rocks and minerals, have begun to master multiplication and division and are researching past pioneer and medieval societies. Grade 4/5s created beautiful Robert Bateman inspired sketches of birds along with Haiku poems, have delved into Egyptian heiroglypics and crossed the country to the Maritime provinces. In Grade 5/6 students have just started literature circles using Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, begun China projects, the study of the human body and are working on memoires. The Grade 6/7s are also working with literature circles, playing floor hockey, waiting anxiously for the ski trip in February and working on science projects. The students of Grade 7/8 are chasing each other in floor hockey as well and learning what life will be like in Grade 9. Winter going quickly at Grey school
