With schools let out early on Wednesday, January 26, all roads became impassible that evening and many persons were stranded away from home for many days. Ashfield Township Road Super- intendent, James Hunter, advised that housekeeping headquarters were' set ,up at the Ashfield Township hall for emergencies with men and plows available when necessary during the height of the storm. Groceries were brought on snowmobiles from Kemp's General Store at Lanesville. On Tuesday afternoon, February 1st, an emergency meeting was held at the home of Reeve Warren Zinn with the road superintendent and councillors arriving by snow- mobiles. 5 'bulldozers were engaged starting that afternoon at 4 p.m. Operating on• 24 hours daily, these bulldozers, as well as three graders, three snowblowers on contract and over 100 farmers with their tractors and blowers and shovels to loosen the hard snow (donating their service) slowly opening the main concessions. The snow is packed so hard many of the plows and bulldozers broke down - to be repaired - and start again. By Saturday, February 5th, there was just one concession (Ashfield Concession 2) opened all the way through. On the 6th concession the bulldozer started at Glen's Hill and (not counting the hours he was broken down) took 84 hours to come as far as Derk Logtenberg's, a distance of only 51/2 miles. The snowplow had come in on the 6th from Highway 21 and had to quit because of the 8 foot high banks at Joe Courtney's corner. Paul Frayne was contacted to blow this 30 foot long drift with the help of volunteer services from the Logten- berg and Courtney families. Snowmobiles proved their. worth during the storm coming, to the rescue of many people who were stranded, bringing medical sup- plies, groceries, fuel and whatever was, needed. Even the mail was brought to the door by snowmobile. A 200 gallon milk tank belonging to Merle Gunby was delivered by snowmobile to the dairy farm of Bob Mole when his milk truck could not make it for the pickup. This same milk tank was then transport- ed to the dairy farm belonging to Derk Logtenberg when Bob Mole's road was opened. The only good thing about the storm is that it has brought neighbours closer together ' in helping each other with the many problems that arose. 73's and 88's to the Local CB Radio Clubs who helped tremend- ously in aiding stranded motorists, advising of road conditions and asisted in the many emergencies. You did a "Fine", job. Special thanks goes to Mr. Hunter, Mr. Zinn, the Councillors, the snow clearing crews, snowmo- bilers, C.B. operators and to all • who helped. Perform a death-defying act.
