Katie Talbot, Ainsley Homan and Moira Stoecker have spent days and many recesses outside build- ing the game, which contains 1,147 squares. The large hopscotch game takes up a large portion of the school parking lot, and even has rest areas where the players can stop for a break. The three young players hope to have set a world record, but there is no mention of hopscotch in the Guiness Book of World Records. The girls plan to rebuild the game after it rains, but plan on a lot of hopping until then. Hockey contest WINGHAM — The Citizen states that Wingham has made it through to three stages of the Kraft Hockeyville Contest, and are now asking for family, friends and busi- nesses to send letters explaining why they feel Wingham deserves to be Hockeyville. The CBC taping of the winner is in Hamilton on June 9, which is when the top 10 communities will be announced on air. E-mails and letters can be sent to editor@wingham com recently, there was not much talk about Canada's Afghanistan mission among the recruits. According to Denomme though, many of the instructors have experience overseas, which he said makes the training more real. After his qualification course, Denomme said he will find out whether he has been assigned to the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry or the Royal Canadian Regiment.
