8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, December 16.1992 Section Two VI Isabelle Challice Community Correspondence 3 Quote - "A man doesn't begin to attain wisdom until he recognizes that he is no longer indispcnsible." Well dear readers, of course our favourite favourite topic this week, is the "Big Storm". In discussions with others, many of us "oldtimers" remember many bad ones, but most agreed 1944 was a rough one! Many in the country were isolated from main roads, mail, etc. for well over one week! I remember remember one winter our country road between between Pontypool and Millbrook was partly closed (Carscaddens hills) school house - for. six weeks! There was only a walking trail down the middle of the road, over to Manvers Station. I road horseback down to neighbors to get milk and friend hubby hubby carried our other groceries home from Norman Porters store! Really this storm was a "badie", and caused hydro off in many areas and lots late for work or better still a day off!
