Children perform for friends
Parish sings O Canada
Rev. Banks greeted people
attending Duffs United Church on
July 3.
After the announcements were
made the congregation stood for
the singing of O Canada.
For children's time Rev. Banks
held up two pictures and asked if
anyone could name them. One was
the prime minister and the other
was hockey player, Mark Messier.
He asked the children how they
would feel if they had a chance to
shake their hand and talk with
them. He wanted them to imagine
how they would feel if one of their
friends became prime minister or a
great hockey player. "Would you
still be impressed when you shook
their hand?" he asked.
Rev. Banks went on to tell how
Jesus was very well known as a
preacher and healer with crowds of
thousands hanging around him. But
when he went to his own home
town where people knew him as a
carpenter's son, the people there
were suspicious and unfriendly.
They thought that he was just being
a big shot.
Rev. Banks's sermon title for this
week was called, "Knowing when
to let go." Chris Eckel read scrip
ture and along with Tom Leeming,
Margaret Craig and Karen Hoegy,
served communion.
Dirt biker earns first
Congratulations to Lome
Wemham of Walton who just got
back from a weekend at Flint,
Michigan, where he entered his
80cc dirt bike in the 80c (class)
race. Actually he entered four
motos (heats) and he placed first,
second, and third.
He came away from the event
tired, but smiling and carrying a
trophy.
Look out Camp Bimini here
come the Walton kids! I guess it
can be said that Walton did its
share in providing kids for camp.

Correction
In last week's article on Grey
Township council there was a typo
graphical error with regards to the
donation to the Brussels Agricultur
al Society.
The correct amount is $300.
We apologize for any confusion
this may have caused.
Canadians drink over seven bil
lion cups of tea per year.
Darrell, Jennifer McClure, Trisha,
Robbie McClure and Kevin Wilbee
were all settled in their cabins with
their counsellors and new cabin
mates Sunday for a week. For most
of the kids this is a first time
experience.
Visiting with Neil and Marie
McGavin this past weekend were
Keith and Feme Robinson from
Cookstown and Joe and Jeanne
Cowan from Dunnville. They
attended the Seaforth Agricultural
Society Tractor draw. Marie and
Neil also attended the Wingham
Homecoming School Reunion.
They had a wonderful time.
On June 24 and June 28 kids who
wanted to share their talents with
fellow students, teachers and
parents did so in Mrs. Scott's room.
Jessica Lubber performed a song.
Tammy Shpak played a song on her
keyboard and Tyler Elligsen did a
piano solo.
On Tuesday at 1:30 many
gathered to watch the rest of the
performers. Kelsy Bennewies
started the afternoon show off with
her song and little dance called
Teddy Bear. Lindsay McNichol and
Sarah McDonald did a step dancing
routine. Kendra Bennewies, David
McClory, Adam McKichan and
Bryanna Adair each did a piano
solo. Krista Shortreed showed the
crowd a line dance number,
Brittany Holmes demonstrated a
jazz routine that she had
choreographed herself.
Allison Beuerman, Jennifer
Brubacher, and Melissa Beuerman
sang a song called Herman the
Worm. Carried Leonhardt, Amanda
Mitchell, Jennifer McClure, Sarah
McDonald and Trisha McClure
sang two songs. Geoffrey Banks
recited a Robert Frost poem. Kevin
and Mark Wilbee did violin solos
and duet and Nathan and Adam
DeWit did a karate demonstration.
Everyone did a wonderful job
and it was great to see so much
talent under one roof Then Mrs.
Wilson was called forward and
seated at a place of honour while
each class came forward and did a
little presentation.
The junior kindergarten and
kindergarten classes, led by Susan
Elston, sang one of their favourite
songs called Little Green Frog.
Mrs. Bennett's Grade 1 class sang
We Wish You a Merry Retirement
and presented Mrs. Wilson with a
book of wishes that the students
had made.
Mrs. Vandendool's Grade 2s
made up a song called, Ain't it
Great to Retire? The song
suggested that now she won't have
anything to do. The class gave her a
book with ideas on how she can
spend her time in her retirement.
Mrs. Scott's Grade 3s wrote a
story called When Mrs. Wilson
Retires. The story at one point had
Mrs. Wilson in jail and she also
had a rat problem. But the story had
a happy ending.
Then she was presented with
gifts from the school kids: an apron
with the picture of all the kids in
the school on it and with each kid's
signature and a collector's plate
called, 'Reading, Writing and
Romance.'
It was an emotional moment as
she said thank you and how she had
enjoyed her time spent at Walton.
She recognized the fact that
perhaps out of this group of
children one could find the cure for
cancer or one could turn out to be
the person that helps bring peace to
our troubled world.
She was then treated with a

special cake which she shared with
the children and parents.
It was also kindergarten gradua
tion on this busy day. Mrs. Love
had decorated the table with
flowers from her flower beds.
Keshia Bishop entertained her
fellow classmates with a song on
the piano. The kids sang some of
their favourite songs that they had
learned throughout the year.
Each child had to tell what they
wanted to do in the future. Here are
a few of those ideas: go to Africa,
live on the moon; have a whole
bunch of kids, and drive a Honda.
On June 29 the school staff
treated five volunteers to lunch in
the lovely dining room at the
Brussels Country Inn. In their
appreciation for the time spent
helping out at the school, they
presented Vai Pethick, Patty Banks,
Rita Bowers, Darlene Vander Veen
and Clara Blake with a special gift.
Gloria and George Love, caretakers
of the school, were also there for
the lunch.
Purchasing a vehicle
is a big decision!

make the right one!
