KINGSBRIDGE NEWS
This area is slowly recovering
from one of the worst winter storms
ever to be felt. 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.
