Sympathies, well -wishes extended to community PEOPLE AROUND WALTON By Jo -Ann McDonald Call 887-6570 Winter finally made its presence felt with some cold and blustery weather on the weekend. Sunday was a windy snowy day and a great day to stay inside. Many school children had the day off in the area, but not the Seaforth schools. We were out and about as usual and the roads were slippery in places and visibility good most of the time. I had been anticipating a day off, but it was not to be! Our sympathies are also extended to Marie McCutcheon and Clarence on the passing of her sister Jean MacDonald. Our sympathies are extended to Janet Engel and Dave and family on the passing of her mother Betty Humphries. She will also be missed by her sister Shirley and Ross Smith. The Cranbrook Dart Club has started play for the 2016 season. There were 18 eager darters out to play on Jan. 6. The teams were drawn and play began. Winners were: high, Jane Zwep, 103 and Frank Workman, 131. They haven't lost their touch or maybe they have been practising. Team 5 consisting of Murray Houston, Rita Bowers and Evelyn Blake won all six games. Team 7 members Brad Speiran and Pat Gillis were also lucky to win their six games. Marita Lefor was the lucky shooter of the night. Hopefully week two will see all the rest of the darters out to play. We send out get -well wishes to Jim Ryan, who is a patient in hospital at time of writing. We hope his health problems are sorted out quickly. Our get -well wishes go to Neil Schade who has suffered a fall and is FROM WALTON Helping out When it comes to fighting fires, the equipment is expensive, so when a 30 -year-old compressor needed to be replaced, the Huron East Fire Department looked to grants and other funding opportunities to help cover the $20,000 expense for the Brussels Fire Hall. The Brussels/Huron East Community Development Trust and the Trillium Mutual Insurance Recognizing Our Opportunity To Support (ROOTS) committee answered the call and donated $2,000 and $10,000, respectively, to the cause. Above is the donation from the Brussels/Huron East Community Development Trust.

Below is the donation from the ROOTS committee. From left: Deitner, Trillium Mutual Fund representative Rhonda Ryan, Bedard, ROOTS council member Karen Schmalz and McLellan. The remaining $8,000 was raised through community donations during a swim rally at the Brussels pool featuring local firefighters last summer.
