This two-day event, Actifest, is held in a different part of the province every two years. This year, the 1,300 participants stayed in McMaster University residences and about half of the events took place on campus. Joan was participating in the 200m prediction swim. The first day, she predicted that it would take six minutes, 4 seconds to swim the distance and she was 3.5 seconds too fast. Then on the second day she predicted that she would swim it in six minutes three seconds and she was one second too slow. These differences combined to put her in second place, less than one second behind the gold-place winner, for the silver medal. It was a busy time and the level of enthusiasm among the seniors was exciting. Events varied from physically active sports such as golf, tennis, darts, five-pin bowling, to mentally challenging games of bridge and euchre. By the second day, participants were comfortable with their surroundings, former competitors were becoming reacquainted and everyone had a story to tell. The 300 volunteers from the Hamilton, Burlington area were most friendly and obliging, making sure that everyone had a safe and enjoyable time. Joan has enjoyed the senior games for four years now and she encourages anyone who is interested to watch for posters and promotions of the District 29 games (Huron, Perth, Middlesex Counties) next April. Locals play ball for Outlaws Enjoying an opportunity of a lifetime last week were Scott McDonald and Scott Leonhardt of the Walton Brewers. They were picked up at the beginning of the ball season by the Kitchener Phoenix Outlaw ball team. They played in regular season games and the qualifying tournaments for the ISC II world fastball tournament. Continued on page 17 The week in Walton began with many Walton • friends attending the funeral of Ken Rogerson. Ken was the brother-in-law of Leona McDonald, married to Leona's sister Marg (Stevens); Nephew Neil McDonald flew home from Vancouver and was the speaker at the services held in Clinton. A sad and tragic accident in the west claimed the lives of a Brussels- Walton connection. Our condolences are sent to the Duncan and Searle families on the loss of Jim Duncan and his son Cory Duncan. Jim and Cory were the son and grandson of Kay Duncan and son- in-law and grandson of Allan and Alice Searle. They are survived by a wife and mother, Helen Searle Duncan. They are residents of Brandon, Manitoba and Helen's sisters Gail Searle and Mary Pennington flew to Manitoba to be with her sister. A straw field of Ken Dalton's caught on fire last week and both Blyth and Seaforth• firefighters responded. Farmers are reminded to be careful and be prepared for working in the dry stubble fields. Home for a weekend were -Eric and Sherry Delay from North Carolina to visit with Barry and Karen Hoegy. All the family gathered on Friday night for supper and a visit before their return on Sunday. Also home for a weekend visit with Howard and Audrey Hackwell was Pam Hackwell from Toronto. Get-well wishes go out to my friend Ross Cunningham who is a patient in Wingham hospital. Graeme Craig was the lucky winner in a draw last week. He won a blue three-foot high motorized bike and now has it on display at the Walton Inn. Matt Shortreed and Mike Beuermann made a trip to New Liskeard on the weekend. Leaving Thursday night they headed north to visit Norm and Gwen Koch, relatives of Mike. They toured the area and saw some great scenery and a new area to them. It was a weekend of weddings of Walton-area people. Being married at the Lutheran Church at Seebach's Hill were Becky Laverty and Aaron Chadwick. Becky is the granddaughter of Kathleen Williamson of Walton. Attending the 6:30 p.m. nuptials from Walton were Kathleen, Tom and Joyce Williamson and girls and Ken and Val Pethick. The reception was held at the Army Navy Club in Stratford.

FROM WALTON At the races It was the Walton Transcan and the final race of the Grand National series at the Lee farm in Walton last week. The racers and families started arriving last Monday and when the gates opened at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning the Walton Area sports club and its volunteers were pushed into action. The eighth-gate workers worked steadily and efficiently and managed to have nearly 400 campers cleared off the road and into campsites by 8:45 a.m. Racing began Wednesday afternoon through to Saturday for the amateur divisions. The professional side of the event saw practice and qualifiers on Saturday with the final Pro races on Sunday. The races went very well with only a half dozen or less ambulance calls, not bad for five days of races. Great job Chris, Judy and Matt Lee for pulling off such a big event that takes nearly the whole year to organize and involves so many community groups.
