It seems as though winter has come. More snow fell and temperatures are somewhat lower. I don't think we should be complaining yet.
Not a lot has been done at the skating rink yet. There have been problems with the water lines. Hopefully it will be possible to flood it soon.
Jan. 13 saw a meeting of the recreation board. Among other business discussed was the initial planning for the spring fish fry and wrapping up of 2015 business. The government grant to help with the new flooring in the community centre has been approved. Raffle tickets for the Father's Day raffle are now on sale.
School has been in session for a week, now. There will be a semester break at the end of January. Finals will be written by Grades 10, 11 and 12 around that time.
A number of families have been travelling either to visit family or to holiday.
Renee and Morris Donovan accompanied their son Darrel, his wife Meghan and Meghan's parents on a week's holiday that they spent at a resort in the Yucatan Peninsula south of Cancun in Mexico. The very warm weather made water sports appealing and made for a happy time.
Ruth and Lyle Sutherland spent Christmas with Ruth's granddaughter Kimberley Olsen and family.
Chris and Janet MaKee spent time with their daughter Jennifer and her husband Graham Ricker at Waterford, Ont. during the Christmas season. While there, Jennifer gave birth to a daughter Dec. 19 named Evelyn Gray. Congratulations to Jennifer and Graham and to the proud grandparents Chris and Janet. There were many other relatives there to visit the Rickers including Graham's parents and Janet's mother.
