Familiar faces welcomed back
Here we are with the first month
of January almost complete. We
have had stormy weather and cold
weather and have also enjoyed some
very mild days. Just think, it is only
50 days until the first day of spring!
The high school students are busy
writing first term exams and will
start their new term on Friday.
March Break is just around the
corner – just six weeks away, and we
will celebrate Valentine’s Day,
Family Day and Daylight Savings
Time beginning before the break
arrives the week of March 15. Time
certainly flies and the sun makes for
uplifting spirits.
If you have been downtown lately,
you will have seen a familiar face
around again. Archie McDonald is
here from his eastern home in New
Brunswick to enjoy his Huron
County home in Brussels. He comes
here for the winter, fresher air for his
allergies and of course, we enjoy
having him around. He makes for
lively conversation for all he meets
and he enjoys keeping in touch with
all his Brussels friends. Welcome
back Arch!
Huronlea has welcomed Glenn
Johnston to its family. We hope he is
enjoying his new surroundings. We
are pleased to report that Doug
Machan is home and doing much
better in the last week or so. We are
glad he is feeling better. Our get well
wishes go to Ron Schmidt after
spending a couple of days in
hospital. We hope they have found
the cause of his problems. A speedy
recovery wish goes to Lloyd
Glanville as he recovers from carpal
tunnel surgery on his arm.
McGavins have welcomed Bryan
Finlayson back to work after an
eight-month absence. He had
suffered a severely broken foot and
it has taken quite a while to heal. He
is a very familiar face around
McGavins.
Our thoughts are with the Prescott
family as Brian is in hospital at this
time. The family of four boys have
been home at times throughout the
past week to help Sheila with the
drive to Stratford.
Our get well wishes go to Mary
Helen McLachlan who has suffered
a broken wrist. We hope she has a
speedy recovery.
The snowmobile trails have been
very busy this past weekend with
single, groups and family machines
with caboose, taking advantage of
the beautiful snow and weather. The
OPP also had their machines on the
trails watching for those not
following the rules.
Welcome home to Don and Pat
Dalton returning from a vacation in
Florida.
Congratulations to Patty Banks
and Richard and Marjorie Horst on
the birth of a new grandchild.
Parents Tanner and Loni have
welcomed a beautiful baby girl to
their family. Quin will be welcomed
home by big brother Ryan.
Congratulations to all.
Our sympathy is extended to the
Zimmer family on the passing of
Shirley Zimmer of Wingham. She
will be missed by her husband Ron
and children Pam (McLellan), Kim
(McArter) and Ron and their
families. Our condolences to all.
It was party time for Fred Uhler as
he celebrated his birthday on
Saturday evening with family and
friends. The group of about 15
enjoyed a dinner at High Creek
Farms, Walton, and then returned to
the Uhler household to enjoy an
evening of Court Whist. The group
included the Townsends, Craigs,
Smiths, Carters, McIlwains, Papples
and McLachlans.
The Cranbrook Dart league had 20
players out for their weekly night of
darts. There were three teams able to
capture four games out of six for the
night. The three teams included
Kathy Workman and Fred Smith,
team Ern Lewington, Teuni Smith
and Steve Bowers and team Karen
Bowles, Evelyn Blake and Frank
Workman. The high shot by a lady
for the night was by Gayle Speiran

The Grey Township “Sappy
Tappers” had their first meeting of
the maple syrup club last week. The
group started off welcoming in new
and returning members, assigning
roles and learning about maple
syrup production methods
throughout history. The “Sappy
Tappers” then did a blind taste test
of nine different types of sugars, one
of which (of course) was maple
syrup.
For a snack, members made
popcorn and drizzled it with maple
syrup. It’s looking as though this
club will be sweet (pun intended)!
Members are: Amanda and Justin
Morrison, Jacob and Haden Flood,
Courtney and Katrina Gubelmann,
Adam and Emma Baan, Hillary
Schramm, Lily McDermid, Seth
Ashwin, Kelsey Rathwell and Nick
Vinnicombe. Leaders are Samantha
Fretz, Reg Vinnicombe and
Monique Baan.
