South Bruce PERFORMS!
5
Once again South Bruce showed that there are VERY talented people on every street and sideroad in our municipality as the 4th Annual South Bruce Old-Fashioned Christmas Concert took to the Teeswater Town Hall stage on Friday night! 18 performances by local musicians, singers, dancers and readers filled the hall with energy and spirit as we head into the holiday season. And not all were ‘seasoned professionals’, with the acts spanning ages from six to seniors! … Read entire article »

My nephew said it best a week or so ago on Facebook… “Tumblr/Facebook is starting to annoy slightly. People making posts about cancer saying “If you don’t reblog this you don’t have a heart’ or ‘Reblog this to help cancer.’ It’s a post on the internet, it won’t stop cancer. Cancer is an awful thing, yeah, but just because 1251 people reblogged a post won’t make it any better. If you want to help, do something … Read entire article »

We DO Remember
11
You wonder sometimes, with the last of the WW2 vets aging and all of our WW1 vets passed on, whether this might be the last year for Remembrance Day. Or if not the last year perhaps just another holiday observed without meaning. It was with that thought in mind that I trudged through the sleet, my C&E branch cravat tucked under my scarf, to take part in the service at the Town Hall. And at first … Read entire article »

I Remember…
10
A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since I last stood on a parade square. For most of the years since my ‘Army days’ I have quietly observed Remembrance Day, stopping my day in time to catch the service on Parlaiment Hill. I buy a poppy, which I usually lose immediately after and I like to take a bit of time to think about Bob, Willy and the other old ‘wingers’ that have gone … Read entire article »

Black and White On A Gray Day
8
I often tease Erika about seeing things as black or white, not realizing how much closer to the truth that is for ALL of us. Lebow made his prediction about the rise of consumerism two years before I was born, which means that anyone under the age of about 55 has grown up never knowing anything different than the high pressure mass marketing of ‘dumb think’. And really isn’t the dumbing down of society, elimination of … Read entire article »

Making Something GREAT Together!
27
We live in an area that would be LotusLand for millions of people. But it needs work, lots of work, not just the ‘magic bullet’ of sewers, though they would definitely help. But first we need to ask ourselves “Where do we WANT to go?” Do we want to move towards becoming a seniors community, building structure in our town to support seniors – apartments and strata housing, medical / dental / pharmacy facilities, seniors oriented recreation facilities? Do … Read entire article »

Where Will We Be in 139 Years?
23
Have you ever wondered where our community will be in 139 years? 139 years ago today Canada was 5 years old (not even old enough to vote!), Louis Ducos du Hauron created the first color photograph and Louis Bleriot, the French aviation pioneer was born. In a clearing on the southern edge of Bruce County a community group gathered together to lay the first cornerstones of Wesleyan Methodist Church and establish what would come to be known … Read entire article »

Lifting The Flap?
18
If existence is being in a box, then living must be lifting the flap. The business and political elite in our country tell us that the Occupy! movement will fizzle out shortly, or at least once the temperature in downtown Toronto drops below freezing. But will it? Reading one of my favourite ‘Red Tory’ columnists, Rafe Mair, this morning makes me wonder if there aren’t parallels between Russia 1917 and Canada / The World in 2011? Perhaps Rafe … Read entire article »
