Grass drags were rescheduled for this weekend. (Vicky Bremner photo) Grass drags, Sat. By Chris Lee What should have been the season ending event at Walton got off to a rough start when last week's accumu- lated rain fall forced the re-schedul- ing of the COSDRA snowmobile grass drags until the following Saturday, Oct 20 at 11 a.m (http://www.cosdra.com ) For quads the action continued unabated as the racers. utilized the driest two lanes of the four-lane drag strip thanks to the efforts of the Country Corners Rent-All track crew. Everyone from "cow chasers" to hard core modifieds got to go head to head against the clock. By afternoon the motocross track had dried to perfect condition and the vintage motocross bikes took over with machines up to 30 years old reliving past glories and everyone plain just having fun. The riders were competing for the Canadian American Challenge Cup which was re-scheduled from August due to rain. While Tim Marks of Canfield and Oscar Gaetan of Burlington clearly dominated in terms of speed, it was the American riders who retained the Challenge trophy on the strength of a large turnout of riders and consistent finishes. As the final vintage moto complet- ed the rain started again in time for the quads to launch into the Hare Scramble dice run which consisted of four laps of a three km course. Everything from a high speed section with launch jumps to a bottomless bog challenged a full range of riders and machines. A cheerful and tireless crew from the Perth & District ATV club made sure each checkpoint was manned and every mud hole was winched free of mired machines (http://www.perthdistrictatv.ca) Everyone, especially the Brussels & District Minor Sports track mar- shalls, optimistically looked for the rains to holds off for Sunday's motocross but it was not to be. Regardless, the racers struggled on in what at least were warm conditions. The annual "Ride with Don" industry race for wannabes attracted a strong turnout of ultimately bedrag- gled and exhausted neophytes. The persistent ones were rewarded with an array of extra prizes thanks to Coors, Walton TransCan and Export Extreme Sports Series. The St. John brigade- had an uneventful weekend as conditions kept speed down and absorbed • the mishaps resulting from over enthusi- asm. Local Ethel resident James Banks swept the Pro ATV motocross but conceded the ATV Walton Cup to Lucknow's Chris Dejong whose Tennyson Technical Services tuned quad put together top finishes in all three disciplines of drags, scrambles and motocross.

PEOPLE AROUND WALTON By Patty Banks Call 887-6156 Audrey Hackwell greeted every- one attending Duff's United -Church on Oct. 14. As Joan Tuchlinksy was away Gloria Wilbee led the service. She announced that anyone- interested in attending the WUCC Mystery Tour on Nov. 3 from 3:30 to 7:30. p.m. (approximately) 'should call Judy Emmrich or Patty Banks. The cost is $12.50 which will cover the meal. Everyone will meet at the church. She called all the young worship- pers forward and after talking about friends, and how important friend- ship and support from friends is and how God should be their best friend, she sang, Praise Forevermore. Heidi McClure read from the Book of Timothy, then Gloria gave her reflection entitled, Never Too Young, Never Too Old. She began with a joke about a minister asking a little girl what she had thought about the church service. The little girl replied, "The music was nice, but the com- mercial was too long." Gloria said this was her first serv- ice. She was combining it with music and she would try not to make it too long. The Jeremiah reading that morn- ing talked about Jeremiah feeling inadequate to be of service to God. He thought that he was far too young. Gloria pointed out that when it comes to serving God there is no age limit. "We must not allow our feelings of inadequacy or our age keep us from doing what God has called us to do," she said. "Instead, try trusting him to always be with us and to give us wis- dom and guidance for the task. It is possible that we may never be called upon to make world-altering deci- sions like Jeremiah had to do or George Bush but what we can do is honour ourselves, examine our intentions to do our best in whatever task is asked of us." County council Special exhibit at museum An exhibit created by the Huron County Museum aboUt the Great Storm of 1913 will be on display at, the Royal Ontario Museum begin- ning Oct. 10. The exhibit was being crated for transport last week. *** Because of its low population density, Huron. County is unlikely to experience a high rate of infections from. West Nile Virus, Dr. Beth Henning, acting medical officer of health reported to the health and planning committee. Dr. Henning said an epidemiolo- gist had taken a look at the situation in the county and noted that New York City, where the first outbreak of concern took place, had a [Audi larger population in a small areal As well, she reported, the effi- ciency of spraying programs for adult mosquitoes which carry the disease has still to be determined. Gloria talked about how God had blessed her life with her gift of music and how she was open to follow wherever He leads. She quoted Oprah Winfrey saying all need a vision in life and as they work to achieve it must surrender to the, power that is greater than they know. She said it's one of the defining principles of her life — "that God can dream a bigger dream for you than you could ever dream for yourself. The key is not to worry about being successful but to instead work toward being significant, to shift your focus from success to service." "Starting today, you can decide to have a life of significance by how you give of yourself to others." She ended her service by quoting Mary Baker Eddy, "As he thinketh in his heart so is he. The mind possess- es all beauty and poetry, and the power of expressing them. Spirit, God, is heard when the senses are silent. We are all capable of more than we do." Then Gloria sang Yes I Believe.
