Last week began with the sad news
of the passing of Mildred Traviss.
Having just lost Herb two weeks
prior, it was unexpected so soon to
lose Mildred as well. Our deepest
sympathy is extended to Brian and
Gail and their families. The funeral
was held on Thursday with many
Walton people in attendance.
It was during the past weekend that
the Repowered Diesel Confab group
held their 25th anniversary reunion at
the farm of Ken and Betty Glanville.
Guests were hosted Wednesday
through Monday from Ohio, North
and South Carolina, Pennsylvania and
all over Ontario. There were nearly 30
motorhomes camping at the farm.
On display or driven to the farm
were 26 different engine-driven
vehicles that are repowered diesel.
Among the interesting vehicles was a
motorcycle that was converted to run
on a mixture of diesel fuel and
vegetable oil and got 100 miles to the
gallon. There was a Diamond T
Truck and a motorhome driven by a
converted combine engine. There was
also a 46 Chev cab-over engine
repowered to diesel.
The group is comprised of many
age groups that have innovative ideas
and have been interested in new ways
and learning from the older members.
They have been striving to make
more economical vehicles long
before the automakers began doing
the same. The weekend included
three seminars put on by Ron Stroden
on fuel emissions and diesel testing,
Bill Saunders on the history of the
diesel club and Dan Renovitch on
axle and transmission combinations.
During the weekend the 4-H
Sodbusters Club cooked up
hamburgers and hot dogs for a
fundraiser with all the supplies given
by the Glanvilles. Carl Merner
catered the supper. On the Saturday, it
was the day of the big rains and the
only thing missing was a repowered
diesel boat, said Ken.
Keith and Gloria Wilbee have
returned from a trip to Branson,
Missouri and Manitoba. While in
Branson they saw an Elvis
impersonator who put on an
“incredible” show.
They also saw the Legend Show,
cruised on the Branson Belle and
enjoyed show tunes performances of
Phantom of the Opera and Chicago.
They toured through the Dakotas to
Bossionvain, Manitoba to visit with
Roy and Eunice Wilbee, IanAViJbee's
brother, and cousin Richard Wilbee
and family. They enjoyed a day out at
a threshermen’s event where there
were, lots of antique machinery
including some unusual models. It
was very hot while away and just 20
minutes from Bossionvain, the town
of Delarain was under water due to
the excessive rains. Crops are not
planted and the soggy ground is a
mosquito heaven.
They travelled home via the States
and Gloria reports great trip.
Congratulations to new parents
John and Marci McCall MacBain.
Their new daughter Alivia McCall
MacBain finally arrived on July 23 in
Geneva, Switzerland. Grandma
Sherry McCall was there for the event
and grandpa Murray reports all is
well.
A bit of a sad start to Sunday
morning. Judy Lee and I were off
bright and early to motocross at
Aubum Hills when we found our poor
little Walton fox dead on the road. At
least, probably, the Walton fox. The
fox travelled back and forth by our
farm many days and nights and was a
familiar sight at dusk on the side of
the road. Though not liked by all, the
little fox was certainly a topic of
conversation by many.
Celebrating birthdays last week
were Karin McDonald Calhoun,
Michael Warwick, Jim Blake, Ken
Rogerson, Bob Williamson, Andrea
Taylor, Bradley Fraser, Laura Godkin,
Charles Gulutzen, Sharon M. Brown,
Tina Driscoll, Dorothy Kelly and
Tyler Eckert. Happy birthday to all.
The Walton Community Hall
facelift has begun with the removal of
the old siding by a group of
volunteers. The hall was the recipient
of an Ontario Trillium grant to
upgrade the heating, siding, windows
and some of the electrical work.
The Ontario Trillium Foundation,
an agency of the Ministry of Culture,
annually receives $100 million of
government funding generated
through Ontario’s charity casino
initiative.
The volunteers were called
Wednesday and what a response. Ken
Shortreed arrived with the bucket
truck to help with the high spots and
McGavins sent three men and a lift.
Stephen Gulutzen, Brandon McGavin
and John Glanville along with Chris
and Judy Lee and Matt Shannon of
Tite Racing, Matt Shortreed and Julie
Moffat, Jim Campbell, Rick
McDonald with tractor and trailer, Jo-
Ann McDonald and David Pethick
accomplished the removal of the
complete south and west sides, the
high peaks of the north and east and
the complete clean up of the grounds
by 1 p.m. The evening crew arrived at
7 p.m. that night and after two hours
Jason Konarski, Devon and Chris
Blake, Don Nolan, Jeff McGavin,
Judy Lee, David Perrie and Rick and
Jo-Ann McDonald had everything off
and cleaned up around the hall.

At the diamonds last week in
Walton the Indians slo-pitch team
played against the Winthrop Rats. It
was a close game with Walton losing
16-15.
Pitching for the Indians were
Jason Denys and Robbie McClure.
Scott McDonald had the silo
homerun of the evening.
The Walton ladies slo-pitch team
played against the Brussels Bookies
on Thursday evening. It was a good
game with the Wonders losing 14-7.
The Walton Brewers had no
league games last week. The next
home game is August 9 against
Exeter.
The Brewers played in the
Brussels fastball tournament on the
weekend. They lost 'o the Brussels
Tigers on Friday evening 4-3. They
then played against Wroxeter
Rippers on Saturday afternoon and
lost 6-1. Their third game would
have been Sunday but the
tournament was cancelled due to
weather.
The Walton Masters also played in
the tournament. Their first game was
against the Brussels Masters on
Friday evening. Doug Sykes took
the 1-0 loss. In game two, Walton
Masters played against the Clinton
Masters. They batted very well arid
came out the winners by a score of
6-1.
The third game of the round robin
was against the Mitchell Masters
and Walton took the tough 2-1
loss.
The runs for and against sent the
Walton Master to the A final against
the Brussels Masters. It was a great
game with the teams tied after five
innings. Brussels scored the go-
ahead run to win the game.
Playing on the Walton Master
Brewers teams were Brad Knight,
Steve Knight, Bruce Pearn, Jeff
McGavin, Brian McGavin, Dave
Fisher, Doug Sykes, Jim McDonald.
Rick McDonald, Rick Knight,
Murray Houston, Scott Robinson,
Steve Rathwell, and Brian Neill, a
lot of retired players whom I’m sure
will have some new aches and pains
this week.
