The Citizen, 2004-06-17, Page 9It was a creepy day, June 9, at
Duff's United Church in Walton as
the Ontario Early Years Moove and
Groove program participants read
The Hungry Little Caterpillar,
wriggled like caterpillars, wrapped
up like cocoons and flew like
butterflies.
The participants cut and glued and
made some very beautiful
caterpillars. The four children went
on a bug hunt and had fun learning.
The class was happy to meet two-
week-old Jamie Badley, Geraldine
Siemon's granddaughter.

Huron OPP. over the last few
weeks. have received several calls
from citizens who were the victim of
long distance telephone scam.
It is reported that over the past few
months someone has tapped into
computer modems and was making
long distance phone calls on phone
lines. The victims were not aware of
this until Bell Canada contacted or
shut off the long distance option due
to unusual patterns that had
developed.
The victims' phone bills have been
over $1,000 in some cases while
others were hundreds of dollars.
Victims have been advised by Bell
Canada that they would have to pay
the bills or the phones would be
disconnected.
The County of Huron OPP are
asking that if you have received
unknown long distance charges on
your phone bill to fax a copy of your
hill to Phone Busters toll free at I -
888-654-9426. The long distance
calls would include places such as
Sao Tome. Nauru, Cook Islands and
New Zealand.
Phone Busters is a Canadian anti-
fraud call centre run by the Ontario
Provincial Police and the Royal
The Lees hosted a double header
motocross race. Saturday was round
four of the Amateur National
Qualifier Series and Sunday was
round three of the Provincial Ontario
Championships.
The qualifier race earns riders
needed points to quality for the
Walton Transcan Grand National
Motocross race held at the Lee farm
in August. There were riders from all
across Ontario, Quebec and even a
rider from Florida here on the
weekend.
One local rider who did very well
was Devin Blake. He had an 11th-
place finish.
Other Walton participants
included Bruce, Mitchell. Lucas,
Brent and Scott Godkin and Jason
Konarski. Some did very well and
others had fun.
We wish a speedy recovery to

Start looking for those treasures
for the community yard sale that
