Best Start A celebration was in order as the Best Start program in Wingham settled into its permanent home at Sacred Heart School after months of operating in temporary homes. On hand were several of the adults involved and most importantly, the kids benefitting from the program who cut the ribbon.

During their two-week trip they had great weather and had only a couple of very hot days. Their destination of Denver was chosen because Doug Davidson had worked there for nine months with Bell and from his stories, they thought it would be a great place to see. They visited the Lincoln Tunnel and the Garden of the God as well as the huge Denver Flea Market, that covers approximately 80 acres of ground and sells everything from soup to nuts. Driving through the mountains, they found snow still abundant with plenty of bighorn sheep to be seen. Prairie dogs were plentiful. Driving through Michigan it was dead deer along the side of the road that were plentiful. Walkie talkies kept them in touch with one another. They came home via Illinois and had no problem going around Chicago. It was a great trip and great time spent with family. Congratulations to Jamie and Jennifer Dalton on the birth of a little girl named Niamh (pronounced Neve). She is the first precious grandchild for Kelly and Sharon Dalton and was a four-day early birthday present for Grandma Sharon. Great-grandma Mabel Willis now has three great-granddaughters. Niamh is the second great-grandchild for Bob and DorothyDalton whose only wish is theywould live closer. Home to spend time with Floyd and Pat Hiltz were two of their children. Son Peter from Calgary was home for a week to help out and daughter Susan was there from Westakawin,Alberta for more than a week. They were cleaning up outside and taking part in the yard sales. They had a family get-together on Sunday before returning to Alberta. The rest of the sisters from Ontario, Sally, Carol, Patty, Jennifer and Betty and their families gathered for a great visit and pictures. Keep your doors and windows locked and your belongings put away safely as the thieves are out and about. They hit a residence on Moncrieff Road in the night last week and stole various items from the garage. The owners were home but report not hearing a thing. Get-well wishes to Marjory Humphries as she underwent knee surgery last week. We hope she comes along nicely. Marilyn McDonald travelled to Ottawa with her brother Bill and wife to take sister Janie back to her home. They were only gone four days but it’s always nice to have a change. Judy Emmrich spent the weekend in Toronto attending the Canadian Union of Postal Workers meetings. She is the president of the Local 215 union. She had a good time attending meetings and meeting other folks.
