Friday the 13th doesn’t scare Happy Gang Seniors
The fact that it was Friday, the
13th didn’t scare card players away
from the August card party hosted by
the Happy Gang Seniors at the
Londesborough Community Hall.
There were 17 tables of euchre
players that evening.
It was ladies’ night apparently.
Two ladies from the village took
home first place money. Gloria
McEwing and Geraldine Dale
scored 79 points. Coming in second
with 77 points were Janet and Hazel.
The third place score of 73 was
tallied up by Evelyn C. and Edythe
Glousher.
Eight lone hands won prize moneyfor Lou and Carol Lakey. The groupwill hold its next card party on Sept.10.This next item is a follow-up ofsorts to an item in last week’scolumn. I had a conversation last
week with Marie Caldwell and came
away thinking we can all learn a
lesson or two from Dwight and
Tanya’s tragedy.
The horror of a fire such as that
one is that all one’s ‘stuff’ is gone.
Marie remarked that the family had
photos and documents, etc in fire
safe boxes in the basement of their
house which have been retrieved. A
couch can be replaced, but not
family photos and such. Perhaps
those of us who have never
considered doing this will find time
in the next few weeks to protect our
own ‘memories’ this way. Another
conversation had me thinking about
taking those digital photos off
computers onto a CD [and maybe
make more than one copy] to be
stored safely.
It would be nice to think of aninsurance company as a savingsinstitution. You know, we pay themto invest our money so that when weneed it, in the event of an accident ora fire, that money would be readilyavailable to help get life back
together. As anyone who has had to
make a claim has learned, it isn’t that
easy. Now our money is their money.
Marie says we should all find a
videographer to take pictures of our
home and all its contents, room by
room and open cupboard by open
closet. She is learning just how
difficult it is to remember and list all
the contents of a home for the
insurance adjuster. No one can think
clearly for some time following such
a devastation; items can be missed.
Many folk have offered help to the
family but, at this point, they hardly
know what they are going to need.
Dwight’s mom suggested that gift
certificates might be a great idea for
them to have as each need arises.
One thing I found difficult to
accept in the beginning of looking
after the post office was flyers. It ismy job to put all flyers in all boxes.But many folk feel the same way asI when I’m not wearing my postalservices hat, that they are a nuisance.That’s why every post office has arecycling bin close at hand. Many
folk pay little or no attention to what
the flyer is, they just assume they
don’t want/need it. But it was
discouraging to see flyers in the bin
even as I was still stuffing them in
the boxes. However, occasionally
my bundle is short for the boxes and
I’ve been known to pick discarded
flyers out to complete the stuffing
process.
On Thursday I put a notice in each
box about the new recycling process
that will begin in this municipality
on November 1.
This flyer contains information
each household will need to
be informed and ready for the
change.
I was surprised to see how many of
these notices were in our recycling
box by day’s end.
Obviously folks took no real
notice of what the flyer was.
So if you left your flyer behind it
might be a good idea to talk to your
neighbour about this change.

Calling all crooners and karaoke

Singers are looking for you.
The Blyth Festival Singers

choral group is under the
professional direction of Robert
Blackwell and meets weekly on

Shortly after 2 p.m. on August 18,
an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)
officer was patrolling through
Belgrave when another vehicle
caught the officer’s attention.
The driver of a Mazda was
travelling through town at a speed
of approximately 35 kilometres
per hour while continually honking
the horn.
The officer stopped the vehicle
and while approaching the driver of
the vehicle, the officer could detect
the odour of freshly burnt cannabis.
When the driver was asked about the
cannabis, he immediately produced
it for police.
The male driver was arrested.
Thirty-two-year-old Shaun Moore
of Milverton will now answer to
one count of Possession of a
Controlled Substance in the Ontario
Court of Justice in Wingham on
October 21.
