“Rib” is Legion chili champ By Jan Watson Wheatley Legion Branch #324
WHEATLEY – Three teams, with six wins each, led the 15 players who shot Fun Darts on February 14 – Garry Hope and Terry Taylor – Jean Teylouni, Terri Taylor and Larry Evoy – Peter VanZetten and Richard Howe. Bonnie Evoy, Patricia Suy and Steve Clements won three games followed by Tim Moore and Jim McClellan with two wins. Julie Reid and Gord Crook beat the skunk with one win. Terri and Patricia were the only ladies who doubled out. Join the Fun Darts players on Fridays. Play starts at 7:30 p.m. It was Todd Stevenson’s lucky day, winning three times at the Meat Draws that were run by Claudette Sykes on February 15. Other winners were Vicky Scratch, Sue Schmidt, Claudette and
Sly, Gloria Sheldon, Brenda Hyatt, Julie Reid, Peter Jackson and Hilary Gould. Greg Hodgson won the 50/50 draw. Everyone is welcome to join us at the Meat Draws every Saturday starting at 3 p.m. and running until 5 p.m. Although there were only six pots entered in this year’s Chili Cook-Off, four judges determined that the 2020 chili champ is Dennis Ribble. Way to go, Rib! Kay Shaw earned second place and yours truly came in third. All scores were very close and we thank those who entered to make it a great day for all and to all those, in exchange for a bowl of chili, donated to the Sun Parlour Pipe Band. Six new members were initiated at last week’s General Meeting. Wheatley Legion welcomes Wade Reid, Allie Engelbrecht, Jean Tey-

I’M FREE
Don’t grieve for me now, I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to live, to work or play, Tasks left undone must stay that way, I’ve found my peace at the close of the day. If parting has left a void, Then fill it with memories of joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life has been full, I have savoured much – Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Do not lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free. Your wings were ready but our hearts were not. Love always, Mom & Jim, sister Sandra, Mark & family, brother David, Stacie & family, sister Amanda, Anthony & family, and Nonno Joe & Nonna Lisa
In memory of our beloved friend,

Who left us with broken hearts two years ago, February 26th, 2018
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, the day God took you home. If tears could build a stairway, and heartaches make a lane, we’d walk our way to heaven, and bring you back again. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, in our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill. Forever loved by Jane, Jen, Heather, Jen, Tina, Emily, Marisa, Marina, Lisa, MaryBeth, Sara, Kierstyn, Krista & Amy
