EERE EEEREEEEE EEE REE SS NNEC IE ENE CUI NE BE NEU NE BE LL SL I NL NL BL Local student travels to England on Variety Village exchange trip By Gillian Barfoot Summer holidays have be- gun, and David Cain is one of the lucky ones who gets to spend some of his vacation travelling. Cain, a special education stu- dent who has just graduated from R.H. Cornish Public School, left last Tuesday night for England on an exchange trip organized by the Variety Village in Scarborough. Nine disabled children from Canada are travelling with three Variety Village staff members, and are being hosted by Lord Mayor Treloar College in Hampshire, England. The college in England is a boarding school for disabled children, and they will be pro- viding meals and a place to stay for their Canadian visi- tors, says Sue Bourinot, Public Relations Assistant with Varie- ty Village. Cain will be joining with the other English and Canadian children in a busy itinerary that includes sightseeing, shopping, a trip down the Thames River and a concert at the Royal Albert Hall. But when he was asked what part of the trip he was looking forward to most, he grinned and answered, "flying!" Each child had to raise $1,000 for the trip, although several different service clubs, including the Lions Club, Ro- tary Club and Variety Club raised enough money to spon- sor one child. This is the sixth year that the exchange has taken place, says Joe Millage, Variety Vil- lage's Program Director. Sports is the major focus of Variety Village, which often sends wheelchair and other disabled athletes to national and international competi- tions. Those chosen for the trip to England are participantsin the leadership program, but would not be travelling with any of the sports teams, he explains. "They are dedicated to the ideals of self-improvement and helping out in their communi- ties." "I think the kids gain a lot," says Ms. Bourinot. Through Variety Village's leadership program and the ex- change program, "we are en- couraging them to be indepen- dent." They will be returning on July 8. The English children will be visiting Canada next summer. be held this weekend Mason-Science, David McKee- Geography, Joanne Brown- History, Kingsley Malcolm- Drama, Kirk Swain-French, Wen- dy Handyside-Music, Jody Crisp- Wendy Dixon Memorial, Outstan- ding Athletes-Kelly Phipps and Gord Bentley, Matt Fischer-Art, Tracy Doyle-FW Unit 1 Science, Ben Piney-IODE Award, Melanie/Tammy Melton-Unsung Heros, Deanna Hall-Hand Writing, Shelly Doyle and Jullianne Sleep-Most Improved Students, Genevieve Kendell and Beth Dunkley-Creative Writing, Peter Bostelmann-Citizenship, Rick Mason/Kirk Swain-Top Academic Achievement, Kelly Phipps-Kelly Award.

The Outdoor Church Service on Sunday morning at the home of Arn and Jean Williams as the joint service with Nestleton and Blackstock congregations was well attended. An excellent ser- vice based on Canada's birthday was conducted by Rev. Dale Davis.

The funeral was held on Friday from Bowmanville with interment in Cadmus Union Cemetery. Our thoughts of sympathy are with you all at this time.

A shower for Jeff Millson and his bride-to-be Dolly Donahue last Sunday was held when his Wotten relatives gathered at the home of Joan and Floyd Argue. The shower was followed with a fami- ly barbecue. You are reminded of the com- munity shower in honour of bride- to-be Joy Werry to be held at the Blackstock United Church C.E. on Sunday afternoon, July 7 at 2 p.m. On Saturday afternoon, Nancy and Bob Bryans along with cousins Jim and Bernice Bryans of Oshawa enjoyed a visit with other cousins in Kirkfield - Bud Bryans, Lloyd Bryans, Vern Bryans of Bolsover, Carol Bryans, Toronto, Jim Bryans and family of Colborne, Bonnie Crowther and Bryan, Raymond and Jean Bryans of Croton and Ray and Eileen Harper also of Croton.

In addition the Aldrosan Flute Band of Scotland, which is a full flute ensemble which plays harmony like a concert orchestra will be in attendance for the dedication and also will present a band concert. It is said that this band is one of the best of its kind in the world so itis indeed a great opportunity for the public to enjoy the concert. Plan to attend this event on Tues- day, July 9 at 7 p.m. Mrs. Edna Kelly of Bobcaygeon was a weekend guest of her son Gerald and Joyce Kelly, Elaine and Esther. It was shocking to hear of the murder of one-time resident and a 1985 graduate of C.H.S. Bryan Read. The family lived on the Purple Hill Road east of Highway 57 for several years.
