FROM CRANBROOK
It’s Monday morning and the
Christmas tree and decorations are
away for another year. The great
memories of the holidays are stored
in our memories too.
We also pray for those whose
memory of the Christmas 2004 is
not so good because of the death toll
in quake-stricken countries of the
world. It was heartwarming to enter
the grocery store last week to see a
young lady collecting donations for
the relief effort.
Many area residents had more
lime off during the holidays this
year, with Christmas and New

Year’s Day on Saturday. They spent
time visiting relatives and friends far
and near as the roads were good, but
unfortunately the snowmobilers lost
their nicely-groomed trails to the
.rain.
Rev. Theresa McDonald-Lee
made it to Cranbrook from Monkton
on Sunday morning in spite of the
freezing rain, thanks to a busy road
crew. Communion will be held in
Cranbrook Presbyterian Church next
Sunday, Jan. 9.
We were pleased to hear Beryl
Smith was able to be home for
Christmas day, but celebrations
were left until New Year’s Day.
Bert Van Donkersgoed is
recuperating at home too. We hope
they both soon feel well.
The Cranbrook Hall was used for
some family gatherings during the
holidays. Sharon and Gary Evans
hosted 18 of Sharon’s family on
Boxing Day. Frank and Kathy
Workman hosted the Craig family
Christmas there on New Year’s Day
with the help of Peter, Craig. Lisa

Whispered, “Carry on Santa, it’s
Christmas day all is secure.”
One look at my watch and I knew
he was right,
“Merry Christmas my friend, and
to all a good night.”
We wish everyone a prosperous
and happy 2005 and that peace be a
priority in the world.

and Duncan who were home for the
holiday.
It’s been a few years since Joanne
(Knight) Black has been home for
Christmas from New Brunswick,
visiting Jack and Donna. She,
Weldon, Andrew and Allison
enjoyed snowmobiling and other
winter sports with her brothers, and
visiting friends in the area.
Leslie and Yvonne Knight held
their family Christmas on Dec. 28
and 29. Elisa Knight stayed until
Dec. 31.
Harvey and Marion Smith had all
their family home for a few days
during the holidays too.

United States officials prior to them
making the announcement. “But,
we should still wait until March 7,”
stated Procter.
He believes the protectionists in
the U.S. will be looking for “any
loophole they can find”.
“The Bush administration seems
committed to opening the border to
Canadian beef,” he stated.
The announcement indicated that
live Canadian cattle, under 30
months, as well as sheep and other
ruminants, will now be permitted
into the U.S.
Darts are beginning again in
Cranbrook for the winter on
Wednesday, Jan. 5 at 8 p.m. New
members are always welcome. Just
come to the Cranbrook Community
Centre and join your neighbours.
Birthday wishes go to Julia
Mitchell, Bennett Smith, and Marc
Fischer, Jan. 5; Teuni Smith and
Stewart Steiss, Jan. 6; Alyssa
Becker, Jan. 11; Kaitlyn Knight, Jan.

Now that things are back to
normal after the holidays we hope
you have a happy and prosperous
New Year. ,.
Procter added he understood the
refusal to ban cattle over 30 months
from being processed in the same
plant as those under 30 months will
be eliminated.
“This should do something for
the producers who have cattle over
30 months. This is another positive
step.”
Unfortunately, Procter said
the announcement comes a bit
late for a lot of the produ-cers.
“For many beef producers, their
equity is already gone. There is no
way they will be able to get that
equity back,” he said.
