THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 2006. It's a good thing four local boys went skiing last Monday, because as I write this on Monday the rain is pouring down and it is mild. Heading off to Blue Mountain at Collingwood were Chris and Devon Blake, Scott McDonald and Barry Young. They enjoyed a beautiful day of skiing with bright sunny weather and comfortably cool temperatures. They hit the right day for a real deal lunch — a large pizza, four pops and four chocolate bars for $20. They enjoyed their outing for this year and look forward to skiing again next year. Our condolences to the Henderson and Wilbee family on the passing of Art Henderson. He was the father-in- law of Carol Wilbee Henderson and our sympathies are extended to Murray and Carol, Scott and Steven and extended family. Congratulations to Maxine Marks who is grandma to a second baby girl over 20 years after the last baby girl. Proud parents are Blaine and Kelly and welcoming his new baby' sister, Morgan Amy, is big brother Ryan. Happening to be home for the arrival of his new niece is Brian Marks of Calgary. He is here for a week or so and may stay longer. A family dinner was held at Brian and Sharon Pryce's on Sunday evening so everyone could have a visit together.- Bad luck seems to follow Paul Dolmage as he is laid up again. He suffered a broken leg during a hockey game on Sunday. Two years ago, he broke both his tibia and fibia in his one leg and this time he has broken the tibia in the other leg. He expects a six to eight week recovery period. We send speedy recovery wishes to Paul. In Stratford Hospital is Lila Storey. We send our best wishes to her while she waits for her upcoming surgery. There has been flu or something affecting of lot of area people this past week or two. Suffering have been Howard Hackwell, Chris Lee, Jim Ryan and Judy Lee just to name a few. We hope they all are feeling better real soon. Jeanne Kirkby has had a visitor for the past week. Her visitor is not the two-legged kind, but the four- legged. She is dog sitting Jesse, the border collie, for her son Paul and family, while they are away. It's a full and rambunctious household with the border collie and Jeanne's two golden retrievers. Expect a noisy welcome when calling on Jeanne. Howard and Audrey Hackwell had Eddie, Patricia and Sebastian Andrades home for the weekend from Whitby. They enjoyed a great visit with Eddie playing chef for the morning breakfast. Eddie and Patricia returned to Whitby on Sunday, leaving Sebastian to spend March break with grandma ancI grandpa. Trips to the farm to see Uncle Elliott and rides in the truck with grandpa Howard will fill the days. Sebastian assisted Howard at the door of the Sunday night Legion dance, helped grandma Audrey by eating the carrots and was the errand boy checking on the bartender if he heeded anything. He danced with an older woman, (he's only seven) and shared some fun with Catrina and Jo-Anne. He's a popular young man when at the dance.
