Duffs `sold' sign a source of sorrow in Walton

It is hard to keep up with the
weather and what to wear. We
started the week with running shoes
and then went back into snow boots
for a day or two and then back to
running shoes.
Sunday was a great day and I was
even able to hang the wash out to
dry. Wow! For the end of February,
that's a little out of the ordinary.
It is another stab of sorrow to see
the "sold" signs that have appeared
at the "former" Duff's United
Church property. The deal will be
finalized before the end of the month
and that will be that. The Trustees
are still keeping busy with the
meetings and making decisions.
For the trustees, it is good news
that the bulk of their job will soon be
over. You should have your income
tax receipts by now and if you
haven't or have questions about
them, please call Glenda Morrison
immediately.
It is nice to report that Dave Smith
is now resting at home. We still need
to keep him in our thoughts and
prayers as he has a long road ahead
for recovery. It is very
understandable to lessen the burden
for the family, that the Brussels Taxi
and Up to Par garage are now closed.
We understand that Stewart Steiss
is coming along very well following
his knee surgery. Hope to see you
out and about soon!
I came across an interesting article
from 1983 at my mom's house. It
was about food basket prices. Back
in 1983 round steak roast was $1.99
per lb., ground beef $2.39 per lb., 2%
milk was 95 cents a litre, a dozen
eggs $1.41, bread was $1.00 a loaf
and 2 kilograms of sugar was $1.99.
Compared to today's prices, some
things have risen a lot and others
really, not so bad in 33 years. Eggs
have doubled, bread has tripled, milk
has doubled, ground beef is double
but round steak roast can be
quadrupled and sugar is about the
same. Just something to think about
from the "good old days".
The Cranbrook Dart Club seems
to have all the worst weather on the
nights they play darts. It was an icy
night last week with 17 enthusiastic
darters arriving to have a fun night.
Murray Houston and Rita Bowers
had no problem winning five games.
The high lady of the night was
Marita LeFor hitting 93 and Rob
Vanderveen for the men hitting 116.
Lucky shot of the night was by Pat
Gillis. They hope the weather will
improve for the final six weeks of
the dart season.

Grey 4-H Chocolate Lovers hold
`sweet' meeting near Walton
By Anna Fear
The Grey Township Chocolate
Lovers 4-H Club met for their last
meeting on Friday night at the horn
of leader Monique Baan. We had a
fun blindfold activity where we got
to taste pieces of chocolate bars and
guess which kind of bar it was; we
were all very good at that.
We made a fondant filling that we
rolled into Easter egg shapes and we

took them home to dip in chocolate.
We also made a `brownie in a jar'
recipe, that we delivered to McCall
Livestock in Brussels to thank them
for their donations of Ivomec labels
for our 4-H Club.
In our last meeting we melted
chocolate to create fancy filigrees.
We created our names and other
designs out of chocolate and they
turned out perfectly! Then with the
left -over chocolate we made a
chocolate fondue.
First we had to learn all the
etiquette rules involved in using a
fondue pot. The club members
brought fruit and other yummy
treats like, rice crispy squares,
meringues, pretzels, marshmallows
and red liquorice to dip in the
fondue. It was one delicious
meeting!
