Gloria Wilbee marked this special
baptism day by singing a favourite
song of many called, Everything is
Beautiful.
Ms Tuchlinsky called the children
forward and asked them what would
they change in the world if they
could. They said that everyone
would have enough to eat, a place to
live, no calling. names, no fighting.
She told them it would be like the
passage in the Bible that said, The
sheep shall lie down with the lions.
Clerk of Session Leona McDonald
came to the front and invited Geri
Lee and Gary Godkin to bring baby
Kelly Leighann forward for baptism.
Cousins poured water into the bap-
tismal font and little Kelly did not
make a peep when Ms Tuchlinsky
took her into her arms and baptized
her. Kelly was then welcomed into
the household of faith.
The sermon was called, Co-
Creating our Children's World.

topic of plays and which ones are
favoured over at Blyth. There is talk
of local politics.
I learn more about the history of
Walton and area and learn about the
connections of families around here.
There is talk about crop prices but
I am more likely to hear about a
favourite old recipe, or who is get-
ting married and the remembering of
"the good ole days when ..."
Lunch brings a smorgasbord of
people and time doesn't allow me to
get a lot of details but I learn about
apples and pruning trees, hunting
'and how many deer have been
bagged. I meet playwrights and
actors, seniors in for a light lunch,
travellers enroute to their cabins, lots
of truckers hauling different loads,
local business owners and employ-
ees eating in or ordering takeout ...
they all come to the Walton Inn and I
enjoy chatting with every person
who comes through those doors.
So when I really look at my job as
a waitress in this community and as
a person always looking for news, I
am at the right place.
Now having said that you may
wonder why I don't have any news
this week. Well, I guess becaus I
value my relationship with people
here I can't always repeat what I am
told. Or perhaps what I think is news
wouldn't be to anyone else. Just this
note, Brenda Finlayson has taken
over the job of head cook at the Inn,
with Barb Durrell continuing to fill'
in on Saturdays.

PAGE 14. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2001.
I was thinking about restaurants
the other day on one of my walks
and as a waitress I realized it is a per-
fect job if one wants to keep up with
the happenings in the community..
On the Friday mornings when I
work I am greeted by the regulars —
farmers, retired farmers, carpenters,
truckers, the 'milk boys' and other
early risers who like to start their day
with coffee and breakfast.
I always get the local farmers'
weather report (each one a little dif-
ferent from the other). There is
always talk about prices of beans,
corn, cattle and how much so-and-so
got for his farm or property. There's
talk about who has their crops in and
who has some left to do.
I hear the updates on the latest
news-breaking events and their ideas
about it. I tune out when their con-
versations turn to sports but get back
in when the subject has changed to
someone's buck and doe.
It is a very interesting morning and
I usually feel somewhat enlightened
before they all leave for work. When
they have all cleared out a new
crowd comes in, 'the coffee crowd'.
Here I learn about who is ill or in the
hospital, or has died. There is the
