A special ceremony was
held at Blue Water Rest
Home on July 2 which cel-
ebrated the many contri-
butions of Dr. Charles
Wallace.
After 50 years of working
in the medical community,
Dr. Wallace retired from his
practice last month and the
rest home in Zurich
wanted to acknowledge his
decades of service. As a
special thank you for his
contribution to the forma-
tion of the home, the facil-
ity dedicated a portion of
the building in his name:
one of the facility's main
walkways is now called,
"Dr. C. J. Wallace Hall."
A few speakers spoke at
the event, including Angie
Dunn, the CEO at Blue
Water Rest Home. After
many words of praise and
warm accolades, Dr. Wallace
came to the podium and
responded to the praise by
humbly asserting, "Basically,
all that I've done is try to do
my job properly."
Dr. Wallace was an
active staff member at the
South Huron Hospital in
Exeter for 50 years, had
practices in Bayfield and

Three-year-old pacing filly Shadows Wonder and
Clinton Raceway's leading driver Trevor Henry defeated
track record holder Her Own Land in the $65,800 final
of the Kin Pace on Sunday afternoon.
Dr. Ian Moore trains and co-owns the homebred
Shadow Play-Putnams Wonder filly with R G McGroup
Ltd. of Bathurst, N.B. and Serge Savard of Saint -Bruno,
Que.
With the inside post advantage, elimination winner
Her Own Land and James MacDonald took the lead
while Henry settled Shadows Wonder in behind that
filly from post two. Her Own Land led the way through
fractions of :28.4, :59 and 1:28, but Shadows Wonder
out -sprinted her in the stretch, clocking a a final
quarter in :27.4 to prevail by one and a quarter length
in 1:56. Her Own Land settled for second and Justabit
Mean, the longest shot on the board at odds of 39-1,
finished third nearly five lengths behind with Jonathan
Drury aboard. Artful Impulse and Steve Condren were
fourth while first over Missevil and Bruce Richardson
earned the final paycheque in fifth.
Shadows Wonder was the post time favourite after
closing within a half-length of Her Own Land in a 1:55
track record mile during last weekend's eliminations
and she paid $5.60 to win.
The black filly earned her fifth career win in 19 starts
and the lion's share of the purse leaves her just shy of
the $100,000 earnings mark.
As for Henry, the victory capped off a big day for the
Arthur, Ont. reinsman, who won six of the 12 races on
the program.
