Church services resume
Newlyweds receive
community welcome
Since this is a slow news week I
thought I would tell you a little
more about my trip out west or as
my daughter Cassandra says, 'To
West.'
The one thing that I wanted to
mention was how they are still
pretty western. It seems that my
brother's neighbour to the south,
Billy is his name, was tired of
putting up with his neighbour's bull
always breaking the fence and
getting in with his cows and
fighting with his bull. Billy had
pure-bred Red Angus and the
neighbour bull was Charolais.
I guess this has been going on for
a few years now. Ed, the owner of
the Charolais, put up an electric
fence last year, but the battery went
dead and the story goes that he
would rather go fishing than look
after cows, so the battery stayed
dead.
Well, one morning Billy could
take it no longer. The bull was on
his place once again doing its thing,
so Billy got his gun, went out into
the field and shot him. I was talking
to ole Billy a few days later and he
said how sick he felt after he had
done it. The police were involved
but there was nothing that could be
done. Ed, the owner of the dead
bull never phoned or showed up.

He did however move his cows.
When I went by his place a few
days later they were all corralled. I
never did learn whether Ed had the
cattle corralled because he was
afraid Billy would go shooting
them or whethei Ed decided it was
time to get out of the cow business
and was getting ready to ship them.
I guess Billy is somewhat of a
hero around the little town of
Vanderhoof. He said everyone is
coming up to him and asking all
about it. I also imagine that the
story gets added to everytime it is
told.
We welcome into the community
the newly married Diane and Keith
Williamson. Rev. Randy Banks
officiated at the wedding of Diane
Eskritt and Keith Williamson on
Saturday 'at Duffs United Church.
After the wedding the couple and
guests were served a lovely lunch
by Duffs UCW.
McGavin's held a farm
machinery demonstration at the
farm of Henry Grobbink. Around
30 people showed up to watch the
different machinery being used.
One that was very impressive was
the large self propelled harvester.
Henry said that he didn't get to
drive it, but•his son Jeff and his
hired hand Nick got to.
