CHEVROLET THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 7, 2006. PAGE 9. It was a weekend of parties. One party was for Cindy (McCallum) Poland's 30th birthday. It was a surprise when she arrived to camp at the back of the family farm to find friends and relatives in attendance from the area to help celebrate the next decade of her life. Many spent the weekend camping after the Saturday night party. The weekend barbecue and potluck was enjoyed by all. Birthday cake topped off the celebrations. Returning in time to enjoy the party were sister Colleen and new husband Scott Bromley. They were on their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic. The weather was beautiful, food great and they enjoyed the rest and relaxation following their Aug. 19 wedding. Another surprise party was held for Ken and Judy Shortreed to celebrate 35 years of wedded bliss. The party was planned and attended by nearly 50 family and friends. There was a catered meal by the Walton Women's Institute and entertainment by friends.

Many of them travelled to North Bay in the deluxe motorhome driven by Steve Rathwell. They arrived late Thursday night and spent Friday golfing and relaxing in preparation of their first game Friday night against the Fraser team of North Bay. At their first at-bat the Walton boys started strong with back-to- back singles by Steve Knight and Larry Lowes. Both runs scored on a hard hit double by Kevin Roulston. Doug Conley was on the mound for Walton and started the game off well striking out the first two batters before giving up a single that eventually scored. The Walton boys went to bat in the second, with Doug Conley, Jim McDonald and Dave Fisher all hitting doubles and Floyd Upshall hitting a single to score three more runs. The boys shut out Fraser with no batters reaching base in the second. The Walton team failed to score any runs in the third but gave up one run to the Fraser team. In the fourth inning, Walton sent seven batters to the plate, scoring one run and leaving three men on. Conley finished up the games facing only four batters and striking two out. It was a good game with only a few errors. Walton won.6-2. The second game of the round- robin was against the North Bay Merchants on Saturday morning. Walton was again the visiting team and started off slowly sending only four batters to the plate. Larry Lowes had hit a single hit. Floyd Upshall was on the mound for Walton and retired the first three batters. spouses and children were in attendance. Special guest was Ken's mother, Isabel Shortreed of Seaforth. Yet another party was held at the home of Jeanne Kirkby to celebrate early the event of her 65th birthday which will be in November. Close to 50 people gathered in the shed to enjoy the afternoon of visiting. Upon arrival guests were introduced and had to tell everyone what their favourite thing is. A meal prepared by the Walton United Church ladies was served. Jeanne's son Paul and wife Van, and friends of the couple, also served fresh spring roll hors d'oevres. Joe and Rhonda Ryan held a retirement party for Dave Hastings, retiring road superintendent for Grey and Wayne (Buck) Dolmage for McKillop.

Steve home to put Walton on the score sheet 1-0. The Merchants rebounded by scoring a run in the third as well to tie the game up. The fourth inning belonged to Walton. The inning started with Roulston's lead off double, followed by a line drive single by Rick McDonald that ricocheted off the first baseman's leg. Pinch runner Larry Lowes stole second and Doug Conley cashed in the runs with a monster home run to deep centrefield. Walton's Brian Neil continued the hitting streak with a short fly to centre then stole second. A walk to McDonald and another to Rathwell loaded the bases. Another walk to Fisher, after taking a foul ball off the helmet, scored another Walton run. A well hit single by Upshall scored another two and Knight got on by being hit by a pitch. Lowes hit a single and Roulston doubled again. Walton scored 10 runs in the fourth. The Merchants scored two runs in the bottom and the victory 11-3 went to Walton. The team went into the third game of the round-robin with high hopes but came away with a disappointing result against a strong batting Durham Oland Exports team from Nova Scotia.
