Buffalo News, Feb. 25

Reported by Lorraine Monkman

Tonight (Sunday) as I write this, the chinook wind is blowing so hopefully the snow will leave us without leftover ice. Thankfully the temperatures have moderated nicely.

Belated happy birthday to Simon Schonhofer whose special day was February 18. Best wishes for many more years to add to the 85 you’ve already enjoyed.

Word has been received of the passing of former Buffalo resident, Clayton Campbell. He is cousin to Jack and Bob Thompson. The Alfred Campbell family were former owners of the Reg Howe ranch in the ‘50s and Clayton and his brother Alison attended school in Buffalo.

Reading Week 2021 is now history and we hope school children will be able to get back to their studies in their respective schools. Good luck to all students for a successful last term.

I am sorry to report the passing of old friend Minnie Blair of Oyen who passed away on February 21, 2021 at the age of 95 years. Minnie was a great help to the community by judging at our Fall Fair for many years. Our sincere condolences to her family and friends.
