Santa Claus is coming to town, the
weather is perfect, the parade is
being prepared, the candy has been
bought and all you have to do is get
ready for Nov. 29 at 5 p.m.
It’s the time to set the mood for
the festive weeks ahead. Time to put
all grudges aside, all depressing
thoughts on hold and get ready to
give your very best to the human
race.
Yes you can do it. Santa will be
happy.
Visiting family is always a joy.
Joan Jacobs went to see her brother
Jim near Palgrave, to see how he
survived his time in Nepal.
He and a friend thought they
should or could climb the mountains
there. If you add two miles to the top
of our Rockies Jim says that was
their route.
All went well with good guides,
good local food and two aging
bodies that made the grade up and
down the slopes.
He and Joan had a good visit
interspersed with lively times with
the nieces and nephews.
Ralph and I thought we should
check the development of Miss Ella
Graber in Barrie. I’m pleased to
report she has a good giggle and
eyes that sparkle. What more could
we want.
It was goodbye time for Barb
Stiles-Knight-Rumball last
Saturday.
Barb was one of those women
who always made your day better
just by speaking to you. Her move to
London several years ago left an
empty spot for many but in Barb
fashion she made the best of herworld wherever she was. Judy and Patti have retained manyof their school friends and with lotsof family about, the funeral was agreat time of gathering and goodremembering.John Lowe, Kathy Elliott and I areaway seeing what our Ontario
Nurses Association have been up to.
The biannual meeting at the Royal
York in Toronto is reason enough to
leave Brussels for a few days in
November.
The number of nurses available
for your care is getting scary so it
will be good to see what plans are
being offered.
I’m thinking we should be able to
find a little fun there as well as all
the business to be done.
Bye now, Betty G.W.

TO ALL RESIDENTS OF THE
MUNICIPALITY OF HURON EAST
PLEASE HELP KEEP THIS
WINTER A SAFE ONE
The Council of the Municipality of Huron East requests the cooperation of the
ratepayers regarding the parking of cars and other vehicles, and the depositing of snow on
municipal roads during the period in which snow clearing operations are necessary.
It is an offence under the Highway Traffic Act, section 170(12) to : “Park or stand a
vehicle on a highway in such a manner as to interfere with the movement of traffic or the clear-
ing of snow from the highway.”
Also, Section 181 states: “No person shall deposit snow or ice on a roadway with-
out permission in writing to do so from the Ministry or the Road Authority responsible for the
Maintenance of the Road.”
Parking is not permitted on any street or road within the Municipality of Huron
East between the hours of 2am and 6am from November 1 to April 15. Violators will be ticketed
and may have their vehicles towed and impounded.
Neither the Municipality of Huron East nor the “Snow Plow Operators” will be
held responsible for damage done to vehicles or mailboxes on the Municipal Road Allowance.
YOUR HELP AND COOPERATION IN THESE MATTERS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED
AND WILL AID IN A SAFE WINTER FOR ALL.
