The Citizen, 2005-04-07, Page 11Hello there everyone. Nice to see
you all back for another peek at
what Auburn is offering this week. I
guess the first thing we better get is
a good cup of tea. I have my feet up,
my pencil sharp and I am ready to
spill - the news, not the tea.
I start off this week with some sad
news.
Roger Pannabecker born March
12, 1950, passed suddenly at his
home on March 30. Roger was a
masonry contractor by trade and a
great lover of horses and along with
his team; Roger made an effort to
participate in every local parade and
event.
He and Elsie (Schoeder) were
married in 1987 and have lived on
their farm, at RR2, Auburn ever
since.
Roger leaves wife Elsie, daughter
Jody Younglao, sons Brian and
Allan as well as siblings, additional
family members, and friends too
numerous to count. Roger also
leaves behind parents, Margaret and
Jim Errington of Dungannon. You
are all in our thoughts and prayers at
this most burdensome time.
The Auburn community extends
their sympathy to Ruth Jardin and
family with the passing of Ruth’s
husband Tom. The Jardins are now
living in Blyth but were long-time
residents of the Auburn community.
A service was held on Tuesday,
April 5, at Knox church Auburn.
We wish Ethel Ball a speedy
recovery. Ethel broke a small bone
in her ankle while at the cottage and
is now using aids to get around until
the bone heals. She was just
stepping onto a patch of leftover
snow and there was some ice
underneath and she slipped. Her foot
went under the deck railing and
twisted. This should act as a
warning to us all.
Everyone is out and about shaking
off the winter and seeing if their
street shoes still fit. Some folks are
coming and some folks arc going
and maybe there are even some out
there who aren’t sure which way to
go-
We welcome Marilyn and Peter
Verbeek back to the Auburn
community after their winter stay in
Florida. They stayed at a park in
Palmetto, which is south of Tampa
and near Bradenton. They had a
wonderful view of the Manatee
River and enjoyed the area very
much.
Gordon and Bernice Gross spent
the weekend in the Toronto area and
visited their daughter April Gross
who lives in Oshawa.
Sandy and Shirley Andrews along
with Greg and Nancy Park are
tickled blue that a mutual great
nephew has arrived. Reed Thomas
Helm arrived early Sunday morning
to meet parents Doug and Jenni
Helm from the Lucknow
Dungannon area. Jenni is the niece
of both the Andrews and Parks. I
sure hope you have all learned to
share. Congratulations to all.
There were 12 folks joined up at
the Coffee Hour that is held every
Thursday from 9:30-10:30 at
Stickers in Auburn. With that many
people showing up, there must be
something very interesting to chat
about. And of course the good
coffee is always a draw. Can anyone
join in?
I am told picture-taking day at
Knox went well with everyone
having a good time. People brought
pets in to be photographed as well.
Mark Belvedere was the
photographer from Toronto and he
thoroughly enjoyed his time in
Auburn. He was born in New York
and his family settled in Toron
to.
If you missed your appointment or
would like to make an appointment
call Karen McClinchey and she will
direct you to the contact person at
Londesborough.

WI hosts day of crafts
Wednesday, March 30 the Auburn
Hall was a beehive of activity with
people making crafts.
The Auburn Women’s Institute
hosted the day for Huron West
Institutes. The craft was making a
pineapple placemat but some
extended their creative inspiration
and fumed the idea into making
cushion tops.
There will be another craft day in
the fall that will be open for WI
members and non-members alike.
There is a fee of $5.
Manner Maniacs
learn about living
with disabilities
The fourth and fifth meetings of
Wawanosh Manner Maniacs were
held on March 28 at the home of
Mary Ellen Foran.
At these meetings the members
pretended they had disabilities so
that they would learn the best ways
to communicate and be polite to
others who do have them. All of the
members took a turn in a
wheelchair, on crutches, with a
walker, wearing a blindfold, or
glasses which impaired their vision.
They put cotton balls in their ears to
affect hearing, and tried using only
one hand. It took the members quite
a while to figure out how to steer the
wheelchair and how to wash their
hands while in it.
Along with experiencing the
actual disabilities, they learned not
to treat those who have them any
differently and to give help only
when it is asked for. These
encounters left the members with
more empathy for those who have a
disability.
The members also learned the best
way to pack a suitcase and other
travelling etiquette.
They also discussed when a thank
you note is necessary after a stay at
someone else’s home.
The members finalized the plans
for their achievement at the Auburn
Lions pancake breakfast and the
final meeting’s pool party.
The Auburn Lions provided the
wheelchair, walker and crutches,
and are allowing the 4-H members
to help them serve at their breakfast
on April 10.
