Happy 104th to Jessie
Recognition for long lives
Glenna Stephens, left, and Jessie Engel of Huronlea in Brussels were inducted into the
province’s Three-Century Club by Huron-Bruce MPP Helen Johns, when Engel marked her
104th birthday, June 16.
Lea from Huronlea
THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21,2000. PAGE 21.
One day last week started out with
the same greeting: “How are you,
Jessie?”
And the same answer was
received: “Surviving.”
But this is not an ordinary morn
ing for that day. Jessie Engel had
reached the amazing age of 104.
Jessie reads her paper each day
keeping abreast of all the news. She
plays bingo every week, plays
euchre occasionally and is aware of
all that goes on around her.
Sometimes she seems to be amused
at the goings on of us 70 - 90-year-
olds.
What does she think of all this
birthday hullabaloo? Well she hates
it and she loves it. “I wish it was all

over - I hate publicity!” And then
two minutes later, “I should have
ordered my cake, 9x13 is right and
three dozen shortbreads.” They’re
going to take my picture - now
that’s plain silly! I hope I look nice.”
You can count on Jessie whenever
the snow falls, to say, “I hate snow!”
On the first day of April, which hap
pened to be a gorgeous spring day, I
said to Jessie “Look out the window
- it’s a snowstorm. She looked and
then said “There’s no snow - I hate
snow”. I said “April Fool!” She
stayed quite for a few seconds and
said “Well, you sure got me that
time” and then returned to her paper.
Everyone of us here at Huronlea
would love to live to be 104, if we

Father’s Day passed in Cranbrook
. as elsewhere. Ed Saxon visited
Father Saxon. The Workman chil
dren, Craig and his wife Lisa and
Peter (accompanied by my favourite
dog Kelly) visited Father Workman.
Darryl Vanass visited Father Vanass.
I am sure all the families in
Cranbrook celebrated Father’s Day
in their own way. Except... poor old
neglected Father Hagedoom. Poor
old Father Hagedoom sat on his own
in his garret, chomping on a dry
crust of bread softened by his tears.
His son Adam now is a father in his
own right (of the Millennium twins)
and had only time to make a phone
call. So Adam is out of the Will.
The twins by the way are doing
well and gaining weight appropriate
ly. Benjamin is fat and loves his
grub. The main interest in Ben’s life
is his food. Evelyn is dainty and
interactive. She eats with delicacy,
observes the world and smiles when
amused. They both are now in the
Will.
On June 27 Natasha Terpstra cele
brates her birthday! Happy Birthday,
Natasha!
I was asked by Benjamin Fretz,
who is my youngest contributor to
the news, to report that his father has
taught him to “play his armpit”. I
think that is a fitting closure to this
edition of the Cranbrook News.
The work on the Cranbrook Hall,
to remodel and prepare the down
stairs of the building for use in win
ter has now been completed. After
removal of the old library walls and
after installation of doors, the down
stairs is now painted. A new carpet
has been installed and decoration
brightens up the walls.
The euchre parties when they
resume in the fall will be held down
stairs. It has a ramp and is fully
wheelchair accessible.
The Hall board wants to thank
Frank Workman, John Vanass, John
Saxon, Gary Evans, Sheila Terpstra,
and Helen Heatherington, all of
whom generously donated time and
skills and materials towards the
completion of this project.
The Hall is for rent. As of Aug. 1
rental rates will be $50 for the
upstairs hall and $25 for the down
stairs hall. There is a fully equipped
kitchen.
