PEOPLE AROUND AUBURN On Sunday the 4-H Club invited the Women’s Institute for a showing of their crafts at the home of June Robinson. The 4-H members graciously met their guests at the door and showed them the snowmen, sleds and wreaths they had created. They had a display of their journals open for the ladies to peruse. Each 4-H journal showed in detail what valued bits of craft creation lessons they had learned. There was a work centre set up to make a take home craft so all the guests left with their own snowman pin. Both groups very much enjoyed getting to know each other. It was a great visit for all.

His parents were Bess Cunningham Moss and Elwin Moss. Sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Chub. Knox United Church was the setting for the baptism of Devon Robert Curran, son of Chris and Becky Curran. Congratulations to all. Hunters in the Auburn area were swapping stories of their >yeek in the bushes. Much the same in any locale I imagine. Some groups filled their quota and others were not so lucky. The talented quilters of the Auburn area have been busy in the basement of Knox United Church preparing a special quilt for the cancer auction. I hope to bring you further details as they become available. Start saving your pennies folks, this will be a great chance to add to your family heirlooms and help those touched by cancer at the same time. Good work ladies. Well I have been wandering this week, and myself, along with Joanne Upthegrove of Dungannon wandered right into a lovely little craft shed at Nile. The display of talent behind Rustic Roots is composed and put forth by Vanessa MacDonald. Vanessa is a senior student at Goderich District Collegiate Institute who enjoys working in her chosen medium. Twig trees, small decorative painted sleighs along with many other beautifully made expressions for the Christmas season or indeed any season are just some of what you will find along with fair prices and a sweet smile. Joanne and I were very excited to discover such a treasure-trove right in our own backyard. If you are looking to support a student who has made great efforts and positive County discusses bridge repairs By Bonnie Gropp Citizen editor County councillors had some questions at the Nov. 3 about the progress of bridge repairs. Ashfield-Col borne-Wawanosh councillor Neil Rintoul said he had heard complaints from people who had had to slow down at the Zetland Bridge, but couldn’t see anyone working. Engineer Don Pletch stated that the crew was at work beneath the bridge and that the work was being done with the contract stipulations. He projected that the work would be choices in expressing herself then you do need to come to Nile. Follow the craft signs at Nile on Saturday or Sunday from l p.m. - 6 p.m. or call 529-7865 and make arrangements for an evening of productive shopping great gift and decorating ideas and of course that great smile. Let’s show this young girl that we appreciate her efforts. The Angel Tree service is quickly coming. The ceremony will be held Friday, Nov. 25 at the playground in Dungannon at 7:30 p.m.. This is the 12th year for the tree which honours I those within our community who have passed away leaving a parent behind to grieve. Anyone wishing to join us in remembering our children done by the end of November. Regarding the bridge south of Wingham, Pletch stated that the problems that had only been discovered once work began had slowed the progress. “This is unfortunately not the best time of year to find additional work,” said Pletch. He anticipated the work on the bridge would continue into December. “It’s inconvenient,” he said of the bridge repairs. “There’s no good time to do it. If people slow down, the bumps aren’t that bad.” Bluewater councillor Bill Dowson said repairs to the Bannockburn please come or call me for further details. The Goderich and area writer’s group Between the Sheets continues to meet each Tuesday morning at the Library in Goderich. We have recently spread out a bit with a website and you can find us through Yahoo and join in the fun on line. Happy birthday to Brenda Empey who celebrated her 50th birthday with co-workers and family throughout the week. Her office was decorated with streamers and balloons when she arrived to work on Thursday and Snippity the Clown had a few surprises for her as she dined out at a restaurant Wednesday night. All the best for the next 50 Brenda. Bridge also seem to be taking a long time and wondered if there was more wrong than originally thought. “Yes,” said Pletch. He added that a decision will soon be made as to whether or not to pull the asphalt off the south side or wait. “It’s good weather now, but unfortunately if the weather gets bad we don’t want to be into asphalt work. We would sooner leave it to do in the spring, so we will be monitoring that over the next few weeks.” Dowson said, “If it takes as much time on the south side, I don’t see how it can be done before winter.” H Brussels 4-H Show and Sale Grand Champion Beef ~ Emily Gibson Buyer ~ Teeswater Concrete Reserve Grand Champion Beef ~ Andy,Toll Buyer ~ Howatt Transport Ashley McKnight Buyer ~ Brussels Livestock Crystal Blake Buyer ~ Les Enterprises Max Fried Reserve Grand Champion Lamb ~ Kayla Bishop Buyer ~ Brussels Agromart Lukas Witherspoon Buyer ~ MacDonald’s Lumber Brussels Madison Brock Buyer ~ Brussels Livestock Matthew Souch Buyer ~ McGavin’s Farm Equip.
