A NOTE FROM BETTY

If the beef farmers had any doubts
that our community didn’t support
them, last Wednesday evening
should put that one worry to rest.
Anyone with a clue about farming
realizes the seriousness and the
helplessness that surfaces when
markets change. So when the
opportunity to support the farmers
(and the many, many related
businesses) with our presence and to
eat beef was offered - our good
folks by the hundreds came and
enjoyed
Thank you to the many groups
who organized and worked on
behalf of the Great BBQ. It was
marvelous - great food, good music,
lots of generations gathered to
celebrate and support our farms and
our farmers. No need to ask
“Where’s the Beef?” - it was
everywhere with the full support of
community.

occasional glimpse of the road. Only
the lightning shed a view of the
torrents of rain and blowing debris.
Oh my - the power of nature is a
sight to behold and of course needs
to be held in awe. It would have
been significant to call into work
due to visibility in August. Dam,
missed that chance.
The folks were busy on Friday
gathering sticks, limbs and other
blown bits from lawns and lanes as
the storm damage was assessed. One
of our great old maples was hit and
now shows a great cavity in the
trunk resulting in about half of the
branches resting on the patio just
missing several pieces of lawn stuff.
So we’ll have campfire wood for a
while.
The countdown is on. The kids are
starting to think about that first day
of school but be nice and don’t tease,
that is coming very, very soon.

Small turnout

The Legion was lucky as a tree-top

door neighbour. No damage, thank
goodness but the storm sure caused a
lot of limbs down around town.
