The Neebing News Volume Eight, Number Thr ee March 2015 Neebing Entrepreneurs Make Hot Idea for a Rural Fundraiser Happen! Photos and article by Dawne Kilgour such a generous contribution.

Our two entrepreneurs live and work in Neebing, so if you have a future project that calls for excavation, float, backhoe, landscaping or clearing and hauling, these are the gentlemen to call. They deserve our business. Credit also must go to Edith Tivendale, our tireless volunteer who came up with the idea of firewood as a prize, and then canvassed to see who could, and more importantly, would, make Be sure to watch for the sign at the woodlot on Highway# 61. Thanks again Ray and Colin. Colin Chaschuk A WORD TO THE WISE: This winter, be sure to check the chimney for your fireplace, heater or wood burner on a weekly basis. If they are not drawing properly or you’re not getting the normal amount of heat you usually get, perhaps the chimney is partially blocked with creosote or debris from past fires. Be vigilant, the life you save may be your own. Mark the Date~Watch for the Annual Easter Egg Hunt April 3rd - Blake Hall, 1 o’clock sharp to 3:00! Easter Bunny will be attending!

The Neebing News, March 2015, page 3 Neebing Emergency Services by Dale Ashbee - Fire Chief, Neebing Dashboard Safety-A Reminder The following are excerpts from an article originally posted on, By Lorraine Sommerfeld The following is a true story about a young lady who, attempting to catch some sleep in the passenger seat of the car, placed her feet on the dashboard. While the airbags are meant to save lives in accident situations, they can do incredible damage to passengers who place their feet on the dash to relax. The following story paints a very clear picture of what can happen. “ For Bethany Benson, 22, it should have been an uneventful drive back from her aunt’s house in Michigan to her own in Oshawa. It was August 2, 2010, around 5 p.m. With her boyfriend at the time behind the wheel, they crossed the border and she decided to stretch out as best she could in the confines of her mom’s 2002 Sunfire. She reclined the seat a little and propped her feet up on the dashboard, soon sleeping as the farmlands that lined Highway 402 outside of Strathroy, Ont., slipped past. Bethany knows what happened next only through the accounts of other people. A small car and a motorcycle were involved in a collision that would eventually cost the motorcyclist his life; coming upon that crash, a transport truck driver would hit his brakes to avoid it; the Sunfire was travelling behind the transport with Bethany asleep in the passenger seat. As the brake lights flashed, her boyfriend desperately tried to avoid the suddenly stopping rig. He couldn’t. ? Computer Repairs ? Computer/Laptop Sales ? Software/Hardware Installations ? Wireless/Network Router Install ? Hardware/Memory Upgrades ? Virus/Windows Reload ? Data Transfer Looking at photos of the Sunfire it’s hard to believe Bethany and her boyfriend survived. He would require 100 stitches, but Bethany would have her life altered forever because of one chance decision she made before nodding off. She had put her feet on the dash. A deployed airbag inflates at about 320 km/h. That’s a little faster than most Formula One cars race. This is what hit Bethany’s hamstrings, driving her knees into her face. Her left eye socket and cheekbone were broken, as was her nose. Her jaw was dislocated, a tooth cut through her lower lip and she would lose her spleen. Both feet were broken and compressed, and would eventually end up nearly 2 sizes smaller than they were before the crash. Her left pupil would remain permanently dilated affecting her vision, her hearing would remain altered and her memory would be wiped and rebooted like a faulty computer program. But perhaps the most dangerous injury would be the one her mother was told at the time not to worry about: a brain bleed. Before August 2, 2010, Bethany Benson had been on her way to becoming a teacher. In September, she would be heading back to Trent University to finish her degrees in French and History, then on to a B. Ed in Teacher’s College. Instead, after a day on life support following the crash, she awoke no longer bilingual; she would have to relearn French, and even much of her English.” 995 Golf Links Rd.? Thunder Bay ?

The building was also full milk on the step, when it had of a variety of ages, city and frozen. I would scoop off the top cream before my brothers could. It was better than ice cream.] Bottles are also a feature of this unique dairy. As the brochure says, “We can wash and refill our glass bottles for years to come, and it means less waste going into our landfills.” Anything that is local, farm-fresh, environmentally friendly and delicious, must be added to my grocery list and hopefully many others as well. When I left the facility Monday morning, the cars in the parking lot had doubled, a sure indication I won’t be alone supporting this new venture. Congratulations to everyone who cooperated to put on this event especially Wilma, Jim and family. Now we all await the official opening ...sometime this summer, hopefully sooner rather than later.
