The Citizen, 2019-07-04, Page 26PAGE 26. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JULY 4, 2019. School’s end brings graduation, children playing Finally, some heat! It is amazing how the crops are jumping in the fields with the arrival of the high temperatures. Many corn fields are only four or five inches high, but there are some out there, planted early, that are 16 inches high. I’m not saying they will be knee-high by July 1, but at least the hot weather will bring them along. Fields of white beans planted on June 19 have now broken through the ground as of June 27 and you can make out the rows fairly well. Soybeans, that are double-row planted, are almost touching one another and with a small shower and more heat, they will be filling in shortly. The heat not only brings on the crops, but the weeds too! Sprayers are out and about, not only to promote growth for the crop, but to kill those pesky weeds that can affect crop yield. Many crops already had a late or poor start, and can’t have the weeds keeping them back as well. As I am writing, it is the last day of school. Excited children had their final good morning greeting and were looking forward to a fun day at school. Movies for some, a picnic for others, followed by snacks, hot dogs and cleaning out their desks. When I was in school, the lost-and- found was overflowing, so I am guessing, some things will not be coming home! Graduating from Grade 8 in the Walton area are Kyle Stevenson, Meg Fritz, Jack Grobbink, John Ryan, Courtney Gubelmann and Eric Gulutzen. I have had many of these young people since their first day of school and the time has passed by quickly, watching them grow from shy Kindergarten students to confident young men and women. Congratulations to all of them. Remember, children are excited, so be watchful when driving and certainly slow down in towns. Happy summer to all! Last weekend was a beautiful time for an outdoor wedding for Krista McKay and Carter Cloakey. They were wed on the property of the groom’s parents, Doug and Joan Cloakey. The bride is the daughter of Danny and Patricia McKay. The property was beautifully decorated with flowers and greenery, immaculate flower beds tastefully accented throughout the property. The dinner and reception were held in a tent with again, lots of beautiful flowers and navy accents to match the bridesmaids’ dresses. The following day, a lovely brunch was held at the farm for the wedding party and families to enjoy, before clean-up! The newlyweds are residing near Belgrave. Congratulations to Krista and Carter. Flying in from British Columbia to attend her niece’s wedding were Linda Ten Pas and Brent. They arrived on Friday, spent Saturday at the wedding and Sunday at the Brunch, then headed to Sauble Beach with mom, Agnes TenPas, for two days and then flew home to British Columbia on Wednesday. A whirlwind trip this time! They had a chance to visit with brother Paul and son Drew at the wedding and reception. Work is progressing at the RTM North building in Walton. Footings in and floor poured, ready now for framing. Our sympathies are extended to the family of Audrey Beuerman on her passing. She will be missed by her children Frances Kling and Dolores Beuerman and their families. Audrey was a proud farmer’s wife in McKillop Township for 53 years before retiring to Egmondville. She was always friendly and had a smile on her face for all. Our condolences to all. Celebrating birthdays this past week are Ryan Martene, Nora Humphries, Stephen Todd, Norah Schlosser, Ken McCallum, Sandy Rijkhoff Terpstra, Kevin Huether, Caden Lee to end June. The first of July has Linkin McCallum, Julie Wharton, Colton Van Driel, and Jim Bosman, followed by Dianne Baan, Sherri Taylor, Craig Baan, Merton Hackwell, Jeffrey Linton, Ken Pethick, Mike Ryan and Hope Williamson.
