Students get recognition
for their volunteer efforts
Congratulations to Chris and
Colleen Smith on the birth of a sec-
ond son. New baby Colin has arrived
to the delight of big brother Cam,
who thinks the new baby is great.
Jean Bewley has returned from a
two-week trip to the west and visit-
ing family. When she left, just before
Christmas, she headed to daughter
Mary’s in Bolton. There she cele-
brated Christmas with Mary and
Wayne Baker and sons Steve, Kevin,
Matthew and Mark and girlfriends.
Then she was off flying to Calgary
and to stay with daughter Brenda
and husband Dan who reside in
Airdrie. She had a great time visiting
with grandson John and wife Jilly of
Calgary and grandson Scott and wife
Heather of Airdrie.
Then it was off to Edmonton to
visit with Elizabeth (Bewley)
Hutchins and family and Louise
(Bowman) and Bill Marshall at
Sherwood Park near Edmonton.
A few days here and a few days
there, and a couple of weeks fly by
and it’s time to fly home. Jean
reports a great time, a good trip, not
too bad weather and a wonderful
way to spend the first three weeks of
her 80th year.
Returning from a trip to Costa
Rica were Ron and Nicole
Stevenson. Ron was attending
through his work with Pfizer and the
winter continuing education confer-
ence with veterinarians and their
group.
Ron reports that it was extremely
hot. Between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., the
best place to be was under a shade
tree.
They enjoyed good food, hotel
and entertainment and the country is
very clean. It was a good trip but as
usual it’s always good to be home.
Another older barn has come
down. The barn on the former
Harvey Craig farm was taken down
over the past week or so. When driv-
ing around the countryside, you see
fewer of the old barns all the time.
Mary Humphries is still a patient
in Clinton hospital. We hope she
returns home real soon.
Returning home from a family
vacation are Jim Cook and Patty
Banks and family, Tanner and Loni,
Johnny and Brandi and Cassandra.
They spent a week in Playa Del
Carmon, Mexico. The Mayan Palace
Resort is on the Gulf side of Mexico
and part of the famous Mayan
Riviera, south of Cancun. It was an
incredible resort, with large spacious
rooms, a pool that is the largest in
Latin America, being a mile in cir-
cumference, and a wonderful food.
The family enjoyed a tour where
they were ferried to the island, then
had a golf cart tour.
The magnificent colours of the
adobe buildings sparkled in shades
of oranges, blues and greens.
The group also went snorkelling in
the clear waters where Patty reports
being absolutely amazed at the
vibrant colours of the tropical fish
and being able to see them so clear-
ly and so close.
Then there was a trip to a ranch
where some of the family enjoyed
ATV touring and Patty and
Cassandra chose horseback riding.
The group also went to the popular
Senór Frog bar for an outing.
Patty reports having a wonderful
time with the family.
Chris and Judy Lee were off to
Zeke’s Restaurant in Kitchener
