It was just past 6:30 a.m. and I think of all the deer wondered what’s going on? What happened to the quiet bush, now surrounded by men in orange. My own men were gone before 6 a.m. to meet up with the gang so now it’s my house (and many others) that are quiet and peaceful. We hope everyone out there hunts safely and drivers are watchful for deer on the run. If the statistics of deer collisions are any indication, there’s plenty of deer out there. With the corn harvest drawing to a close, the fields are cleaned off and the deer won’t be able to hide there at least. Our get-well wishes are sent out to Doreen Hackwell who is a patient in Stratford hospital. There was a fantastic turnout at the benefit dance for Ralph Woods. The silent and live auctions and the breakfast on Sunday morning had a huge crowd on hand. Countless friends from Walton, Blyth, Winthrop and Seaforth and all the area attended to support Ralph in his recovery from an ATV accident that has left him disabled. It was great community and area support for Ralph, his wife Dianne and daughters Janelle and Katie. Returning from a trip to England is Brett Lee. Brett is the event manager for the Canadian Motocross Racing Co. and runs the Canadian National Series, which finishes up at Walton in August. He travelled to England to be an advisor to the Sheffield Supercross Co. on strategies of marketing their event, which ran Friday and Saturday. He was away five days and attended meetings with them as well as the event. There were some big name Canadian motocross riders participating in the event, such as Jean Sebastian Roy, Cole Facciotti, Ryan Lockhardt and Doug DeHann. The Chesley Saddle Club held its annual meeting and potluck dinner at the Walton Hall on the weekend. Judy Emmrich, Anne Halley and other area folks are members of the club. They report a great time with nearly 40 in attendance. Birthdays that were celebrated last week include Halloween babies Janine Knight and Davis Steffler. November kicks off with celebrants Judy Lee, Marvin Bachert, Peggy Humphries, John Gaunt, Garret Mader, Bruce Blake, Darryl Hoegy, Chris Stevenson, Kathleen Williamson, Jim Ryan, Clara Glauser, Steven Huether, Justin Morrison, Mark Bachert and Rita Bowers. Happy birthday everyone. Congratulations to the McGavin family on being honoured by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture Award for outstanding contribution to agriculture. It is no surprise to Walton-area folks how generous the McGavin family has been over the years to the community, through their business and personal contributions of time, talent and support, the McGavin family has been there. Just to mention a few organizations in Walton that have been supported by the McGavin family in some way are the Walton Ball Park, Walton Hall and Duff’s United Church. Folks of Walton can be proud of the McGavins and congratulate them on their recent honour. I thought how lucky we had been this summer that our unadventurous dog had stayed away from meeting any skunks. Our luck ran out though last night. Out for her last run of the nights, he returned with the not-so-nice odour of skunk. She didn’t take a direct hit thank goodness, but she was obviously close enough. As Vienna is an indoor dog, she’s not impressed with being left outside. Guest On Monday, Oct. 29, Grades 1-3 at Grey Central Public School took part in an Artitudes music workshop, funded by the Foundation for Education. The workshop gave the students an opportunity to hear and participate in music activities with guest presenter Willem Moolenbeek, a professional saxophone player and professor at McMaster University. Students learned about beat, rhythm, tempo and mood in music. (Photo submitted) The service of Duff’s United Church was led by lay worship leader Gloria Wilbee. Worshippers were greeted by Judy Lee and Jo- Ann McDonald. The minute for missions was read by Ryan Baan. Gloria told the story of Zacchaeus to the children. Assisted by Teresa Baan, they taught the children the song of Zacchaeus and the actions. The choir anthem was A Little Talk with Jesus. Dianne McCallum read the scriptures. Gloria’s reflection was, A Place With a View, an expanded story of Zacchaeus and his meeting with Jesus. She finished her reflection with the song One Day at a Time. The offering was collected by Neil McGavin and Don Baan. Next Sunday the piano, donated to the church by the Murray family in memory of Gordon Tobe and Laura Murray, will be dedicated. The food bank is always in need and this month’s suggestions are oatmeal, dry cereal, juices and canned goods. The Huron County Christmas Bureau supplies Christmas gifts to families in need and appreciates your contributions. Donations will be received during the white gift service on Dec. 2. Abby McGavin is again collecting winter wear for the homeless. Donations of coats, hats, mitts and snow pants can be left at the church or at McGavins by Dec. 1. She and her family deliver the items to a Toronto church, so when cleaning out your closets, think of Abby and her cause for helping others. The United Church Women Christmas party is Dec. 5 with dinner and a fashion show. Contact Judy Lee or Dianne McCallum for your tickets by Nov. 16.
