The Citizen, 2012-11-01, Page 10PAGE 10. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2012.Deer hunting seasonstarts on Nov. 5
The weather is a repeat of last
week with good days, bad days, one
beautiful day and more wet days.
Everyone is keeping busy as best
they can on the farm and gradually
the fields are being harvested.
A reminder that deer hunting
season starts on Monday, Nov. 5.
The deer will be more active and
everyone needs to be watchful and
keep children and pets close to
home.
The Godkin barn was taken down
this past week and is in the process
of being cleaned up. It was taken
down very carefully, piece by piece
and carefully loaded to be taken
away.
The sheds at McGavin Farm
Equipment and the Grobbinks
progressed well this past week or so.
The rooves are on and both are in
various stages of being closed in.
Our shed is closed in except for the
overhead doors and wiring will soon
be started. Bit by bit they are all
coming along.
Welcome back to Jeff McGavin,
Paul Dodds and Chris Stevenson.
They spent four days in the cold and
snowy west, in Calgary, attending
seminars and workshops of New
Holland for McGavin Farm
Equipment. The snow as an
unpleasant reminder of what will be
coming our way sooner than we
want.

serious injuries. He was in
Pembrook Hospital, then Wingham
and is now at home. We send our
get-well wishes to Charlie.
Comrade Monica Richardson has
undergone surgery last week and
was a patient in Listowel Hospital.
We hope she is recovering well and
will be out and about very soon.
The Friday night supper of
chicken breast was enjoyed by a
good crowd of over 30. This week
will be turkey.
The poppy drive was held on
Saturday with a very poor day and a
poor turnout of Comrades and
Cadets. There were only six
Comrades who turned out and six
Cadets. They did a good job in the
time they had and were a cold and
damp bunch when done.
Thanks to the dozen who
participated. Comrades Lisa
Glanville and Sandra Josling
organized the group.
The membership drive is in the
second month of the early-bird
drive. Comrades are encouraged to
drop in and pay their dues and get
their names in the draw for their
2014 dues.

works for Norwell, out of Drayton.
A new shop showcasing robotic
milking, really all types of milking
has kept Chris and many others
occupied for the past year. So
opening day was Saturday and it
was interesting to see the many
types, the parts and the many people
involved in dairy farming. Norwell
has a shop in Princeton, near where
Jim lives and besides an opportunity
to hassle Chris could not be missed.
Jim and Beth raise a few turkeys
and chickens, so they brought half a
turkey to share. This gobbler must
have gotten to the feed early each
day, for the half I was to cook was
21 pounds. It filled my biggest
roaster as Alma Hetherington, Tim
Keil, Alma Watson, Jim and Beth
and Ralph and I did our best to
devour the beast. So leftovers this
week.
Hope all the little goblins had a
good night on the 31st.
Take care of yourself.
Bye now, Betty G.W.

The Youth United Council, a
youth advisory board to the United
Way of Perth-Huron is now
accepting applications for funding
youth-driven projects for up to
$1,000 within Perth and Huron
Counties.
The purpose of the grant is to
assist young leaders in addressing
issues that are important to them and
their community. Projects must have
a lead youth applicant (age 14-25)
and an adult trustee to assist in the
stewardship of funds.
A few of the grant recipients from
last year include the Stratford Youth
Centre’s “The Truth” which will
create a documentary with the hopes
of dispelling the myths about the
Youth Centre in the Community,
“Twice the Meal” which will
provide youth the opportunity to
learn about making healthy food
choices by taking classes led by
chefs and nutritionists and “Vivace”
which is a program that provides
free instrumental and voice lessons
to children and youth whose
families may not otherwise be able
to afford them and to provide sheet
music and instrumental rentals as
necessary.
To apply, visit www.youthunited
council.ca. Applications open on
Oct. 29 and will close Nov. 19. For

Youth Council Grant or membership
