Grey Twp. firefighters responded
to two ealls this past week, a
snowmobile aeeident on Saturday
evening and a precautionary eall
regarding a propane tank on Sunday.
When 1 ealled Calvin Semple, fire
chief, to ask what ealls the men had
responded to last week, he explained
about the Saturday night eall and
expressed gratitude and appreeiation
to all the people involved.
Emergency response units aside,
Semple mentioned snowmobilers,
residents and someone on a four-
wheeler whose efforts were of great
importance that night. I am sure you
know who you arc and thank you all
for pulling together.
Ethel kids got together Saturday
afternoon for a game of hockey.
Wayne Gretzky watch out! There
were some pretty fancy moves going
on.
Glen and Sue Brubacher bought
hot chocolate for all the kids and
after the game everyone went to
Brubacher’s restaurant to warm up.
What a great afternoon. Kyle
Bateman, Jesse McKinnon and I
switched off as goalies but
apparently, most of the goals were
scored when I was in net.
I would like to thank Mervin
Brubacher and his dad for coming to
Hood on Saturday night, Jessica,.
Stephanie and Michael Zaba for
flooding with Andrew Versteed this
week and the Boyer kids for doing
lots of shovelling.
One of my favourite radio
programs is CBC’s Today in History
so I thought I would share some
similar tidbits I found on a website. I
must say that I did not verify the
dates but they arc interesting. For
Monday, Jan. 27 it listed Mozart's
birthday in 1756, Thomas Edison
patents the electric incandescent
lamp in 1880 and Michael Jackson’s
hair catching fire (remember that
Pepsi commercial?) in 1984.
Here are a few more dates for the
week: On Jan. 31, 1928 the first roll
of Scotch Tape was sold and on Feb.
I, 1884 the Oxford dictionary was
published.
Don't forget that Groundhog Day
is coming. Candlemas is also on Feb.
2 and some say that Groundhog Day
actually originated from Candlemas.
There is an old Scottish Couplet that
says “If Candlemas is bright and
clear, there'll be two winters in the
year”. Food for thought!
Have a great week!

The meeting of the Ladies’ Aid
from Cranbrook Church took place
Jan. 21 at the home of Lois
Schneider.
Frieda Crawford opened the
meeting with a poem called
Blessings. The hymn Standing at the
Portal of the Opening Year was read
in unison.
A story called The Rich Family
was read. This was the tale of a very
poor family, who never realized they
were penniless until the pastor
singled them out by giving them
some money in front of their
congregation. At Thy Feet, Oh God
and Father was read. Both hymns
(this one and the preceding one)
hailed the coming of the New
Year.
Prayer was offered and the
meeting was turned over to the
president. Minutes were read and
and collection was taken. A review
was given for the Ladies’ Aid, the
WMS and the church cleaning.
Donna Knight reported that the
WMS allocation for the year 2002
had been met.
The Mizpah benediction was
repeated and lunch was served.
The darts for fun held Wednesday,
Jan. 22 at the Cranbrook Hall
resulted in the following scores?
high, Gail Spieran at 114, Dave
Bowles at 125.
The next darts for fun is to be held
Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 8 p.m.
The next euchre part at the
Cranbrook Hall will be held on
Friday, Feb. 7 at 8 p.m.
Happy birthday to Lexi Smith who
celebrated her sixth birthday last
Saturday, Jan. 25. and to John
Bentley who will celebrate his
birthday on Jan. 31.
Happy Birthday wishes also to
John Vanass, who used to live in
Cranbrook and who at this time is
not getting any younger and would
rather forget about birthdays
altogether.
