9 · Tuesday, December 22, 2009 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com LINDSEY RYDER / SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER Cheering crowd FOR THE TORCH RUN: Clockwise from above, crowds of cheering supporters packed Lakeshore Road as the 87-year-old Wurtele twins, Rhoda and Rhona, carried the Olympic torch on Saturday Dec. 19. Naomi Burke, 5, supports the Olympic torch relay while another youngster scores a great view atop her dad's shoulders. Others peer down the road awaiting the torch's arrival as residents prepared in their own way how to welcome the torch -- a sign, a flag and a homemade torch carried by Grace Violin, 7. Les Ross and his family were out to cheer, too, as the family members's Christmas gift to one another is a trip to Vancouver in February for the 2010 Olympics.
