The Chinese dinner last Friday was a sold-out affair. Everyone agreed the Chinese food was excellent, and some people even managed to eat their dinners using chop- sticks. The performers were from the International Lan- guage Program in Guelph, and entertained by singing, folk dancing and perform- ing a fan dance. Several members of our own Tai Chi class gave a demonstration of the graceful movements of Tai Chi. The winner of the 50/50 draw was Lois Bugala, and Nettie Fields, Mac Sprowl, Eileen Dix, Bev Jones, and Barbara Bedard won door prizes. Now everyone is wonder- ing what Victor and his crew will come up with for the February dinner. It is certain- ly nice to have the additional space now we are renting the community hall, as our own space is rather limited. It means more people can be accommodated for the din- ner, and it isnt cramped for the entertainment. The birthday tea was well attended, and I enjoyed cel- ebrating my birthday with cake and ice cream a little early, with the 15 other peo- ple celebrating birthdays during December and Janu- ary. Including guests there were 35 people there includ- ing one grandchild. All programs are back to normal after the holidays except for the Art Club; they will restart on Wednesday, Feb. 7. The line dancing is at St Albanss hall for the pres- ent, on Wednesdays at 1:30p. m. and Yoga at Staying Alive Fitness Centre on Monday afternoons. The evening euchre was well attended and the win- ning hands were held by: Lone Hands Eileen Wedge, High Lady Lydia Dyball, High Man Bill Brewer, 2nd Lady Betty Brewer, 2nd Man Henry Wedge, and the Booby by Mike Mil- ligan. Marj Allan provided a delicious lunch. The next evening Euchre will be on February 21. There were no Mooners on Thursday afternoon at the bid euchre. They would really like to see some more people out enjoying the afternoon of cards. We are planning a tour of Superior Glove on January, 30. This local company has grown over the years from a small manufacturing plant with ladies sewing gloves at home, to one that ships all over the world. Join us and find out how the thousands of gloves are manufactured and shipped each year. If you are interested please call me 519-853-2063. Dont forget the Spa Party, which is also on the 30th at 1:30p.m. Valerie Hamelin presents the talk, which will include anti-aging, with a light lunch to follow. The popular classes on scrap booking and tole are on hold at the moment, but will hopefully restart later. Many ladies enjoyed putting their memories together in a unique way to preserve them for the future. The weekly 50/50 draw held each Friday afternoon, was not won again this week, so the next draw will be worth more than $200. To the editor, I am just writing this let- ter in regards to the article Global Warming Has Plus- es, published in the Tanner last week. Its content is ab- solutely ridiculous, and I am surprised that it actually made its way into the paper. Clearly the person who wrote the let- ter to the editor has a small town mind set, which I find humorous. Does this person think that Halton Hills would not be negatively affected in 100 years? Let us put aside the fact that children may not know what snow shovels are for. The worst part of the letter was the last sentence, The only bad part is a lot of farm land will be unfit to grow crops in the world and there will be a lot more hungry people in the world. Now, excuse me, but how is that the only bad part? If farmland becomes unfit to produce crops, would that not ulti- mately affect our community, our province, our country negatively? Not only would we have to deal with the lack of crops, but we would also have inflation. What about all the hungry people? I believe that starva- tion in the world would affect us, who knows, it could be us Canadians who become the hungry. I will refrain from making a comment about how no one will worry about terrorist attacks on New York City... I could go on for days. The article should not have been given the title Global Warming Has Pluses. If there is something notably positive about global warm- ing, let me know. Melissa Mota No pluses warming Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers will soon be patrolling in the traditional black and white police cars, of- ten referred to as Holsteins. Community Safety and Correctional Services Min- ister Monte Kwinter joined OPP Commissioner Ju- lian Fantino and Ford St. Thomas assembly plant manager Mark Boldin in unveiling the new OPP black and white Crown Victoria cruisers being built in the St. Thomas Ford plant last week. The first black and white cruisers will be patrolling high traffic areas of the 400 series highways by the be- ginning of March, 2007. The full roll out will fol- low the normal replacement schedule for general patrol vehicles, returning the OPP fleet of patrol vehicles to the traditional black and white configuration over the next two and a half years. Over the years, the OPP has used several variations of the black and white tradi- tion. In 1989, the all-white cruisers with blue and gold striping were initiated and by 1993, the black and white vehicles were completely phased out. The OPP main- tains a fleet of approximately 1,200 general patrol cars. OPP return to black and white Holsteins CHILDRENS SERVICE: The ecumenical service for Christian unity last Sunday a.m. also included a childrens service at St. Joseph school and a youth service at Knox Church simultaneously with the service at the Royal Canadian Legion. Here, children at the school enjoyed the ministry of As for Me and My House. VOX POP Marking the first anniversary (January 23) of the election of Conservative Prime Minister Harper and Halton MP Michael Chong, are you happy with the Federal governments first year in office? Nancy Benham, Halton riding I respect what Mike Chong did in representing Halton as far as putting himself out again as a candidate, yet in giving up his Cabinet jobs Im disappointed we dont have as active a voice, so its a catch-22. Gwen Robson, Halton riding Our taxes are way too high I want the government to look at pensions and how much it costs to live on a fixed income. Other than that, Im happy. Steve Earnden, Halton riding To me, its the same old thing. They close down other peoples ideas and come up with the same idea with a different title. Its a rehash of the same old garbage, and if they got on with the problems at hand, it would be a lot easier. Catherine Rutherford, Halton riding Im not too sure, because they havent really been in that long. I think something is wrong with the college tuitions for kids they need to be dropped.
