THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2001. FROM WALTON Youths show well at Royal From what people tell me the Royal Winter Fair is a- must-see at least once in your life. For 13-year- old Donnie and 11-year-old Jennifer Williamson, it has been a very excit- ing place indeed. The two were sponsored by the Canadian Galloway Association to show some cattle in the Junior Showmanship class at the fair. Both kids showed some Galloway heifers in the show- manship competition and Donnie took fourth place and Jennifer cap- tured the sixth place. Donnie has been involved in -all the aspects of showing cattle for the past two years by helping out a friend of the family who has the long, curly haired Galloways. There is a lot that goes into the grooming at show time to make them look so picture perfect. Donnie was in 4-H this past year where he learned even more about showman- ship. This past year the Williamsons have started their own herd of Galloways and Donnie has been showing them at a lot of fairs. Jennifer is just beginning to get into the business of showing cattle and prefers to work with the younger cattle. Next year she hopes to join the 4-H beef club. Also at the fair this year, a friend who owns her own Galloways asked Donnie to show one of her animals in the heifer calf class and with the help of Donnie's skill of handling and setting up cattle, the calf took first place. The Royal Fair is the place to see how things are done professionally and the kids certainly learned a lot. Good luck at the fairs next year. Grey Central Echo On Nov. 9, all of Grey Central school participated in a Remembrance Day ceremony. The colours were paraded by Krystle Zeigler, Holly Sharmanyt jamara Moser, and Krista Richmond, who are all cadets from the Brussels Legion. Poetry readings were given by Matt McClinchey who recited In Flanders Fields, Lindsay Stewart and Sara Baker who offered Prayer Before Battle and Crystal Blake and Mady Deitner who offered the poem, Look at Them Now. Mrs. Murray's Grade 4 class sang Poppies Red. Mr. Payne conducted and accompanied the Grade 6 class singing Day is Done, the Grade 7 class singing Blowing in the Wind and the Grade 7/8 class performing Wilbees greet at Duff's Gloria and Kevin Wilbee greeted everyone attending Duff's United Church on. this Remembrance Day Sunday. Joan Tuchlinsky welcomed every- one and opened the service with the introit and the Call to Worship. She thanked everyone who worked so hard to make the turkey supper a success. There were around .560 peo- ple fed that night. Of course it couldn't be the suc- cess that it was if it wasn't for all those people who came out to eat. A big thanks to everyone. Gloria Wilbee and Brian Black sang Lean on Me. Ms Tuchlinsky and Mrs. Wilbee did a scripture shar- ing from the book of Haggai, an obscure prophet from the time after the exile when the nation was rebuilding. Imagine. Rebecca Reesor provided beautiful piano accompaniment during many parts of the service. While representatives from each class carried' the wreath their class had created up to the front of the gym, Yvonne DeWit read about the importance of the sacrifices made by all who fought for freedom and their legacy of peace. The following stu- dents carried their class's wreath dur- ing the service: Alanis Clarke, Isaac Baker, Sasha Ruttan, David Spek, Lexy Clark, Miranda Kuepfer, Brandon Stolz, Lauren Stewart, Willie Guenther, Shalynn Inkster, Tylor Schott, Victoria Patton, Anna Glen, John Bentley,. Shalin Diehl, Continued on page 19 The turnout for Walton's Little School's grand opening was incredi- ble. As soon as one went through the doors the sound of happy and excit- ed children rang throughout the building. Although seeing Franklin, for some of the children was very excit- ing, there were a few who were a lit- tle frightened of the big green, silent turtle. For the most part he was much loved. The rooms were filled with differ- ent activities for the children, from making crafts, getting pictures taken with Franklin, and just old-fashioned play. Every so often it was story time with Franklin •and the children got to hear all kinds of interesting stories read to them by Franklin's helpers. The library had two different book displays, Scholastic Books (they will be at the school all next week) and Usborne books. Jocus toys always had children at that part of the room. The parents were there as well — looking for Christmas gifts perhaps? There was a display of 'Better-b- Baskets', which are baskets filled with fudge and other gift packages. Brenda is hosting a Come and Go open house on Nov. 27 and 28 from 6:30 - 9 p.m. If you go to the open house yOu get to sample fudge, chocolate pizza and see all the neat gift ideas. It was so great to see the schobl filled with so many children again. It was reported that Kathleen Williamson recovered from her big birthday bash last weekend. There were around 235 people who came to wish her a happy 75th at Duff's United Church. Then when she got home a good 20 or more came to call on her. Katie, as some know her, is obviously a well-loved person. Well it was a final goodbye to the little blonde cook at the Walton Inn. Lynda McAdam has been a cook there for over a year and there will be many who will miss her delicious homemade soups and muffins and cooking in general as well as her ready smiles and good nature. She was presented with flowers and a few other gifts that showed people's appreciation of her. She has now gone back to her former job of home care. Fire at park Continued from page 1 engulfed. The Optimists rebuilt the struc- ture a few years ago, as MVCA could no longer afford to replace it. Arson had claimed at least two other buildings before this one. Langlois estimates the material cost to the club for the building at about $2,000. The Optimists met Monday night an decided to offer a $500 for infor- mation on who is responsible for the arson. Police are also investigating dam- age to the Homecoming gazebo. They have suspects in the case. Students remember A hug for a friend Franklin got a big hug from an admirer when he visited Walton's Little School for its grand opening on Saturday. (Vicky Bremner photo)
