The weather, as always is a "hot"
topic of conversation. The freezing
rain on Tuesday certainly coated the
ground and caused many problems
for getting around, but it is
improving. The warmer
temperatures have gradually melted
the sheets of ice that were covering
many sidewalks and yards. The
highways were fine for travelling by
the end of week, just some fog to
fight through, morning and night.
The warmer weather has the
animals wondering what's going on.
The deer are out enjoying the winter
wheat crop that has appeared from
under the snow. Raccoons are out
wandering around and some look
pretty dopey. Our indoor -outdoor
cats can't decide whether to be in or
out in this very unpredictable
weather.
What we can predict is the
Brussels ladies birthday group who
gathered to celebrate the January
birthday girls. Celebrating birthdays
were Sandra Cable, Joan Bernard
and Leona Armstrong. The group
gathered Tuesday at JR's to enjoy a
delicious dinner. Joining the
birthday girls were Isabel Wheeler,
Merle Cousins, Betty Campbell,
Marie McCutcheon, Lois
McCutcheon, Laura Barbour, Bev
Palmer, Audrey Cardiff, Betty
Cardiff, Jane Hall, Jean Davidson,
Cora Alcock, Marci Bremner and
others. Happy birthday to all.
Some of the Smith family were
travelling again last weekend.
Shelley and Delayna travelled to
Ottawa for a hockey tournament.
They also took time to tour Carleton
University.
Skating on the canal finally had its
opening day while they were there,
so they enjoyed skating on the
famous canal. Delayna enjoyed the
school and the hockey tournament
was a great success playing seven
games, but losing in the finals to
earn a silver medal.
We send happy healing wishes to
Betty McCutcheon who suffered a
broken arm a few weeks ago. Mary
Ann Bone has avoided surgery on
her arm for the time being and we
hope she is healing well.
Nora Stephenson has her second
new hip and is spending a few weeks
recovering at Gilbert Hall
Retirement home in Wingham. We
hope time flies and she is back to
Brussels and her home.
We offer our condolences to Ross
Procter and family on the passing of
Mary Procter. She will be missed by
children Cam, Louise, Don,

Christopher and Anne and their
families. Mary was a lovely lady
who was known for her smiling
personality during her many years of
nursing and after. She loved to visit
with friends, travel and attend social
functions. Our sympathies to all.
The Cranbrook Dart Club had 19
excited players out to master the
boards. Only one team took the
honours of winning five games and a
repeat from last week which were
Brad Speiran and Ern Lewington.
High score was Gayle Speiran, 110
and George Zwep, 116. The lucky
shot for the night was Rita Bowers.
Our sympathies are extended to
the Glanville family on the passing
of Cathy Glanville. She will be
missed by her husband Les and
children Doris and Veronica and
their families. Les and Cathy lived
for many years on Sawmill Road,
but had moved to the Lucknow area
a few years ago.
Cathy was a very quiet and
talented lady and had made many
lovely handmade crafts over the
years. She will be missed by her
family and the extended Glanville
family, old neighbours and many
friends. Our condolences to all.
Our condolences to Alice Martin
and family Gary and Wendy on the
passing of Howard Martin. He will
be missed by many and remembered
as a quiet, hardworking dedicated
farmer, faithful to his Lord and
loving husband and father. Our
sympathies are extended to the
Martin family.
We welcome Ed McClure back
from a trip to Panama. He reports it
was hot. He went four -wheeling to
see the countryside and found that
the area is really expanding.
Panama City had a population of
800,000, but with the building of the
new lock for the canal system over
the last 10 years, the population has
grown to over four million people.
New areas for the city are very nice
and show the prosperity of it. The
new lock puts 40 ships a day
through, 20 each way. An oil tanker
pays $800,000 to go through. To go
around South America, it is a 23 -day
trip, depending on weather, so it is
cheaper to use the canal system. Ed
enjoyed the first-time experience in
Panama but maybe it was a little too
hot. Welcome home.
Celebrating birthdays this past
week were Marni Knight, Angela
Fraser, Nadine Ringgenberg,
Lauralei Shortreed, Kaitlin Ritchie,
Hannah Dalton, Leona Armstrong,
Brandon McGavin, Scott Bromley,
Connie Alcock, Valerie Bachert,
David Griffith and Kendal Carnohan
Schlosser. Happy birthday to all.
Very generous
The closure and subsequent sale of Duff's United Church was a tough decision for the people
of Walton, but in the aftermath, many community groups, including Cavan United Church in
Winthrop, have benefitted from donations made from the sale of the church structures. From
