The weather was cool and windy and the track was well-watered to keep down the dust. Unfortunately, mishaps will happen and medical attention was called in several times. Now it's preparation time for the Transcan in August, so racing is over in Walton until then.

Joan Tuchlinsky's final service for the Walton Bluevale pastoral charge was witnessed by an almost full sanctuary at the combined service at Duff's United Church recently. Joan's theme for the service and reflection was Bread for the Journey and the service was opened with Bread for the Journey introit. The service was interlaced with many special musical numbers, reflections by Joan and her family, as well as by members of the two congregations. Joan and Brian's family were a very special part of the service with daughter Jennifer singing Long Before the Night and I Have Called You by Your Name with her husband Chad Spaulding. Laura Black presented the scripture readings and Jeffrey Black read a letter of appreciation to the congregation. Brian Black sang The Lords Prayer. The sacrament of communion was served by some of the young people. Rev.

A lovely portrait of the Walton United Church done in pencil by artist Ulysse Ringennberg of Walton was given to Joan and her family. The bulletin for this special service was designed and drawn by Bethlny Black. It featured a wheat field at the side of the road. Two people and a dog followed the road into the sunset; a symbol of day's service Bread for the Journey. It was a wonderful and emotional service for both the Black family and th%congregation. Best wishes go to Joan as she continues her life's journey in a new direction and good luck to her and her family for the future. A wonderful time of fellowship followed the completion of the service with a barbecue of hamburgers and hot dogs by Steve Dennis and Gord Pryce.
