Seaforth-area church loses long-time choir director
What a variety of weather we have
been through this past week. First, it
was very cold temperatures, snow
and drifting snow, then beautiful
sun, wind, lots of wind, rain and
warming temperatures. Maybe we
are heading towards spring!
Celebrating a milestone birthday
last week was Karen Uhler. The
gathering of friends went to Listowel
to enjoy Chinese food and then back
to the Uhler home for a night of
games, fun and laughs. Helping
Karen usher in her 70s were Allan
and Karen Carter, Jack and Mary
Helen McLachan, Jim and Janet
Papple, Gerald and Nancy Smith,
George and Ruth Townsend, Jim and
Nancy McLlwain and Graeme and
Helen Craig. Happy birthday Karen!
Welcome home to Murray and
Sherry McCall. They spent about
two-and-a-half weeks in Florida.
They toured around and spent time
at Murray’s brother Jack’s place and
then time at Sherry’s sister Pat’s
place. They enjoyed great warm
weather and a great time visiting
with the families.
Returning from a vacation in
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
are a few folks. Heading down for a
couple of weeks of sand and sun,
were Fred and Teuni Smith. They
were surprised very shortly after
arriving, son Steven and wife Kim
were also at the resort. They
surprised mom and dad as part of a
birthday present for Fred. They had a
great time and were glad they missed
some of our rotten weather!
We are pleased to hear that
Darlene Fischer is home from her
health-interrupted vacation. She
took ill while on holiday in the
Dominican Republic, was
hospitalized and had to be flown
home by private plane. She is now in
Clinton Hospital and we hope she is
recovering and feeling better.
We are pleased to report that Gord
Pryce is now in Seaforth Hospital
and will be for awhile. He has a long
road to recovery ahead and visits
from family and friends will help
pass the days.
The past week has also had its
touch of sadness. We offer our
sympathies to the family of Ken
Anderson on his passing. He will be
missed by his wife Diane and
children Kyle, Adam and Cody and
their families of five grandchildren.
Ken had his own business for many
years, dealing with cars and salvage
and repairs. He was a pleasant fellow
who will be missed by many. Our
condolences to all.
Our sympathies are extended to
the McLlwain family on the passing
of Audrey McLlwain. She will be
missed by her devoted and loving
husband Jack and her sons Mark and
Dave and their families. She will be
missed by her sister June Smith and
brothers Reid and Dave Hackwell.
Audrey was a lovely lady, a
teacher in earlier years, a devoted
member of Northside United Church
and the director of the Northside
United Church Junior Choir for 42
years. Audrey had a beautiful smile
and a giving and generous soul, who
loved to help whenever she could
when asked. Our condolences to the
McLlwain family.
There were 23 eager players ready
to shoot at the boards for the
Cranbrook dart night. Team eight of
John Gillis, Kathy Workman and
Lucas Keffer won all six games for
the evening play. The high shot for
the ladies was by Kathy hitting 109
and Logan Petersen hitting 100
along with Martin Boettcher.
Saturday morning was an
interesting time at the Walton Inn at
breakfast time for many. Stopping by
was Allan Thompson, the Liberal
candidate for Huron Bruce. He spent
his time meeting the many Walton
and area residents who enjoy coming
to Walton Inn. He listened to all and
questioned what issues were
important to them. He kept very
busy taking notes of the many issues
raised. He enjoyed breakfast with us
and then was on his way.

4-H Yeast Beasts become bakers
By Katrina Gubelmann and
Austin Bieman
The fourth meeting of the Grey
Township Yeast Beasts was held on
Friday, Feb. 22 at the Baan
residence. Vice-President Evy
Verschaeve opened the meeting with
the 4-H pledge.
As an ice-breaker activity, club
members passed around a beach ball
with questions on it. Once a member
received the ball, they answered one
of the questions listed on the ball.
Members then answered roll call,
which was, “Name your favourite
sweet bread or bun and what quick
bread or muffin did you make at
home?”
The club headed to the kitchen to
make dinner rolls. Each member
made a different shape for their roll,
there was the spiral twist, bow knot,
snail, parkerhouse and cloverleaf
rolls.
Continuing, the members judged
whisks that would be used when
making brownie batter. The business
portion of the meeting was then
held.
Members then had the opportunity
to taste the dinner rolls prepared
earlier in the meeting.
Meeting three of the Grey
Township Yeast Beasts was held at
the Baan residence on Feb. 15. The
meeting opened with the 4-H
pledge. President Austin Bieman
was absent so Vice-President Evy
Verschaeve led the meeting.
Roll call for this meeting was
“How did we eat bread today?”. The
members gave answers varying from
toast for breakfast to buns with their
supper.
Members went on to start the
recipe set-up for the meeting. All
members had a great time making a
bread pizza and a batch of apple
muffins. While the bread and
muffins baked, the members
discussed the business for the
meeting.
They then learned the difference
between kneaded and batter bread
and had a fun time participating in
various icebreakers.
When the recipes were done
baking members all got to try their
creations. They tasted fabulous. The
meeting closed with the 4-H motto.
