Returning from a week’s trip to
Veradaro, Cuba are Don and Monique
Baan. They enjoyed great weather
compared to ours, with 23-25°C
temperatures. The nights were cool or
at least so they seemed.
They took a day trip into Havana
but missed seeing the famous Cuban
market as it was closed due to the
arrival of the Russia president. The
city itself was really interesting.
They had a great time and went
with Monique’s girlfriend and
husband. Monique’s mother Julia
from Stayner kept the Baan children
here and then in Stayner while they
were away.
Returning from a trip to Sedona,
Arizona are Murray and Sherri
McCall. They enjoyed a six-day
getaway from this crazy weather. It
was just reasonable temperatures in
the high 60s but very nice. It was
absolutely beautiful with the red, red
rocks of the mountains.
They went to the mining town of
Jerome which is considered a ghost
town. Copper mining was very big in
this area. Some of the buildings are
original from the late 1800s and are
rumoured to have ghosts.
They ate at the famous Haunted
Hamburger restaurant where they had
the biggest hamburger but they didn’t
see any ghosts.
They report that Sedona is a
wonderful place to visit.
Also returning from a trip to
Arizona are John and Sheron
Stadelmann and members of their
family.They were in Chandler, a
suburb of Phoenix. They were joined
by daughter Rhonda Ryan with
husband Joe and son Johnny, as well
as daughter Jennifer and husband
Dean and girls, Anna, Ashley and
Erica from Mill Bay, B.C. They went
to the Phoenix Zoo, went hiking in the
mountains, took a trip to Sedona and
enjoyed many hours of card playing
and just having a good time. They had
eight wonderful days together.
Spending a few days at Niagara
Falls were John Lowe, Ruth Lowe,
Anne Bosman and Val Marriage. They
were taking in the Festival of Lights
on a Robin Hood Tour. They saw a
wonderful performance by Randy
Travis, as well as seeing Roy Clark,
the very funny Gordie Tapp, Ronny
Stoneman, Lulu Roman and Debbie
Reynolds.
They had dinner at the famous
Table Rock restaurant and viewed the
beautifully lighted falls.
A quick trip to the casino resulted in
unknown results. It is a well-known
fact that you can’t go anywhere
without seeing someone you know,
and this time they saw Bob and Joyce
Alexander, who were there on a
Hanover Holiday Tour.Spending the weekend in New YorkCity was Mike Cronyn. He saw theEmpire State building, but didn’t takethe ride to the top. He went to theoriginal Coyote Ugly Bar and reportsit really was just like the movie. Hishotel was right across the road fromMadison Square Gardens and hewalked by Macy’s, but restrained
himself from going shopping.
He rode the subway and didn’t get
mugged, so that was a plus. There are
people from all over the world in the
Big Apple, and he met some
interesting folks from France and
Amsterdam.
There were plenty of folks
attending the Grey Bruce Singers
Christmas program in Hanover last
weekend. John and Ruth Lowe, Elaine
Nichol, Mary Huether, Joan Ritchie,
Jack and Liz Coultes are just some of
those from the area that went. The
connection to our area is that Bruce
McDonald is a member of the choir.
They report that it was a wonderful
concert.
Heading off to celebrate Christmas
was the Lowe family. They went to
near Flint, Michigan to Crossroads
Village. It is an old-fashioned
Christmas village about 10 minutes
from Birch Run. There is a wonderful
old train called Huckleberry Railroad
to ride and it’s a wonderful place for
children. Enjoying the family
weekend were Murray and Ruth
Lowe, Hope Lowe, Steve and Deb
Rathwell and family, Jim and Anne
Bosman, Tracey and Paul McLennan
and family and Tina and Jeff
Hoelscher and family.
It was the second week of deer
hunting this past week. The last count
I heard for the Dalton gang was 12
and the Fritz gang had 16. A few less
deer for the winter feeding.
Home for a holiday from Alberta is
Neil McClure. He will be stopping in
to visit with his many brothers and
sisters. He had a chance to visit with
some of them, as well as other friends,
when he attended the CCAC
fundraiser Christmas dance on the
weekend.
Seaforth was a popular spot on the
weekend with the Huron East BIA
and employee Christmas dinner and
dance being held at the Seaforth
Community Centre. It looked like it
was a very full house but cleared out
early.
The CCAC Christmas dance and
fundraiser had a much smaller crowd.
The weather sure can put a damper on
things.
Max Oldfield has been in Wingham
hospital.
Doris Foster is in Kitchener
hospital. Maxine Marks is in Stratfordhospital. We wish them all betterhealth.P & H had its company Christmasparty on the weekend. All wereinvited to arrive at the Four PointSheraton in London on Saturdayafternoon and stay for the night. Theyenjoyed a delicious meal at the hoteland following the few speeches, there
was plenty of entertainment. They had
games of chance, card games,
computerized racing games and music
and fun.
There were 12 from the Walton
branch of P&H attending and they had
a great time, though the ride home
was a little tricky on Sunday.
Having a special lunch with old
friends were Roelf and Diety Bos on
the weekend. They met William and
Anneki Krueger at the Walton Inn.
The Kruegers came to Canada in 2000
to a farm in Gowanstown and showed
Roelf the area. He made a tape of his
visit to Canada and on his return to
Holland, showed his family and they
are thankful they made the decision to
come to Canada. Roelf and Diety
came in 2002 and enjoy living in the
Walton area.
Spending a few days in the Walton
area were Rick and Margaret
McInroy. They attended some
meetings, met up with old friends, had
lunch was friends, and hosted a dinner
party for Margaret’s cousins. The
guests arrived early Saturday
afternoon to enjoy a visit before
having an early dinner, due to the bad
weather.
Dropping into the Blyth home were
cousins Ken and Judy Shortreed,
Emma Shortreed and Brian Black and
Valerie Shortreed. They had a
wonderful afternoon together.
There were farmers out there trying
to get corn off on the weekend.
Thursday or Friday nights cold
weather hardened the ground enough
to give it a try.
On the 6th of Morris they worked
all night and nearly 100 acres of corn
were taken off.
Ken Glanville succeeded for awhile.
Upon leaving the field though, a
mishap on the slippery roads caused
the combine to go in the ditch.
Hopefully, the damage is minimal.
Celebrating Christmas on Sunday
was the extended Glanville families.
They gathered at Kinburn Hall and
there were nearly 50 able to attend.
Les and Cathy Glanville were the
hosts for this year’s gathering. Those
present enjoyed a potluck meal, as
well as mystery gift exchange. They
report having a wonderful family time
together.
Ross and Shirley Smith gathered
with their family on Saturday at thehome of Ken and Linda Smith tocelebrate an early Christmas. Theywere joined by Greg and family, Jeffand family and members of Rob’sfamily. They had a great time together.The Morris-Turnberry staff andcouncil Christmas party was held onFriday evening at the Wingham Golfand Country Club. Thee were nearly

there were a few presentations made

Morrison, John Glauser, MacKenzie
Gulutzen, Darian Fritz, Gary Ritchie,

The ladies of the Walton United
Church had a wonderful Christmas
meeting last week. The meeting was
organized by Helen Craig, Marion
Godkin, Olene Dennis and Doreen
Hackwell.
There were nearly 40 women
attending. All enjoyed a turkey
dinner created by Grace Campbell.
The basement of the church was
decorated beautifully for Christmas,
thanks to the added touches created
by Katrin Godkin.
Katrin was the guest speaker for
the evening. She explained how to
decorate naturally with a come-
home-to-the-country theme. She
uses pine boughs, cones, dogwood,
grapevine, nuts and anything nature
has to offer.
A handy glue gun and wire and
ribbon pulls it all together.
