K -W winter carnival supports area
KIRKTON - Officials of the
Kirkton-Woodham Winter Carnival
handed out cheques for $3,650 re-
cently to a number of youth orient-
ed groups in the community.
While the lack of snow hampered
carnival activities this year, treas-
urer George Levy reported a balance
of almost $5,000 after the dona-
tions have been deducted.
Donations were made to the
Kirkton-Woodham swimming
pool, Scouts, Guides, Usborne mi-
nor ball, Blanshard minor ball and
Kirkton bantam girls.
Levy made a special presentation
of $100 each to three area Pathfind-
ers who will be attending special
Girl Guide activities for two weeks
in Mexico this summer.
The girls are Catherine Atkinson,
Daphne Damen and Denise Fergu-
son.
They were chosen on their com-
munity service work, outdoor and
camping skills, their own written
reasons for wanting to go on the
trip and what they can contribute to
the community when they return.
These three girls were the only
ones from the area who applied and
all were accepted.
To this Levy said, " This is a tre-
mendous credit to themselves, their
leaders, family and community."
The guest speaker for the evening
at the Kirkton-Woodham Commu-
nity Centre was sportscaster Pete
James of TV London.
When asked if he ever tires of
covering sporting activities James
replied, "Never. When the competi-
tion starts I'm raring to go."
He presented a history of Olym-
pic Games from the very beginning
as far back as 776 BC when this
type of athletics was started and
touched on the current Dubin In-
quiry on drug enhancement at the
Olympics.
Carnival committee president
Dennis Richardson was chairman
for the evening's program. The
newly elected president is Tim
Shute, vice-presidents are Kevin
Stephens and Bob Cowdrey, Bill
Jones is the secretary and George
Levy continues as treasurer.
