The children, also dressed in red, did 22 laps each. Some carried dummies and stretchers. The school’s deputy principal Finn Barnett said they came up with the idea to support the challenge. The children raised the money through sponsors and then handed it to Fire and Emergency for the challenge.

Pupils from Kairanga School take part in its fundraiser to support Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand. Pupil Caitlyn Turner, 10, was taking part in the walk, sporting a firefighter’s helmet, and she said the children were keen to support the cause. “One-thousand-one-hundred-and-three [laps] would be a lot to do by yourself, but when you’re splitting it into 22 each it wasn’t that bad.”

To the editor: For 40 years my family resided in Westminster West. One hundred and sixty years before that the Ranney family started farming in Westminster West. I understand it is unique and somewhat rare in Vermont for a farm to be in the same family for 200 years. While living near the farm the proximity contributed a lot to making it a special place. When Arthur Ranney ran the farm it was a special treat to interact with him. We bought raw milk from him and took special delight when in the spring he would come jogging up the road with a pail of grain followed by a cluster of heifers he was leading to summer pasture on the Old Athens Road.
