I attended the service for Trevor Cary, and I must admit to being<br />
mentally exhausted upon leaving a packed lumsden centennial<br />
hall.<br />
SUBMITTED, Peter Foster<br />
<strong>May</strong> 3, <strong>20</strong>23<br />
From the sheer raw emotion displayed by<br />
members of Trevor's family as they attempted<br />
to discern reason from the impossible. The<br />
number of people in the hall bore mute testimony<br />
to the measure of a man who will never<br />
be replaced. Was there a person in that hall<br />
that did not owe a debt to Cary’s Trenching?<br />
Who do you call when it is 30 below and you<br />
have no water to the barn or the house? If<br />
your very community is under threat of flood<br />
waters? Who do you call on a Sunday when<br />
the ground has shifted and bent and mutilated<br />
the main water line for your entire village<br />
and never leave until water is restored? Or dig<br />
up a frozen water main at the care home when<br />
it’s -39? You call Carys Trenching because you<br />
know full well their excellence and professionalism<br />
will get you out of a tight spot!<br />
I saw hard men weep there, myself included,<br />
when Trevor's daughters spoke about their<br />
unspeakable loss! I have two memories of<br />
Trevor I would like to share. Cary’s replaced<br />
the septic tank and sewer system at my<br />
mother's place. She had a small dog that took<br />
offence to Trevor digging up her yard and<br />
commenced to barking at him sitting in the<br />
track hoe. Trevor took the bucket and flicked<br />
it in the dog's face, and I will never forget<br />
the sight of a dog roughly the size of a loaf<br />
of bread being chased round and round the<br />
track hoe by Trevor, laughing like a maniac, as<br />
were we all! The last time I talked to him was<br />

Benefit in Bulyea<br />
The communities from around the<br />
area; Bulyea, Strasbourg, Duval,<br />
Govan, Earl Grey, Southey, Silton<br />
and Craven joined forces to put<br />
on a fundraiser for a toddler from<br />
Bulyea.<br />
SUBMITTED, Vicki Ehrlich<br />
<strong>May</strong> 7, <strong>20</strong>23<br />
Little Benson Galgar, who will be two has been<br />
suffering from a lung infection that the cause has<br />
not yet been diagnosed. He has had several hospital<br />
stays, a trip to Calgary and likely one to Toronto as<br />
well. A group of locals decided to put on a fundraiser<br />
to help defray the costs. The organizers did a bangup<br />
job of getting securing generously donated prizes<br />
for a silent auction, preparing a lunch that consisted<br />
in the Craven bar, he was talking with Jarret<br />
Solberg. Both of them are chrome domes, so I<br />
proposed to get our hands on a laser, bounce<br />
it off their head, then off Trevor's, then off the<br />
moon and see if we could measure the speed<br />
of light, much to our amusement!<br />
It is a tragedy he is departed from this plane<br />
of existence. Sometimes there are no reasons<br />
for such things, but we as the living must bear<br />
the beautiful curse of carrying on, as best we<br />
can, without him.<br />
Darren Cameron (Left) accepting the $<strong>20</strong>00<br />
cheque from the Bulyea Lions President Drew<br />
Thompson<br />
of chili, bun, pie and a bar stocked with refreshments. All told $14,407 was raised. The Bulyea<br />
Lions Club donated $<strong>20</strong>00, and Duval Optimists donated $1000 to help the cause.<br />
It was heartwarming to see the Bulyea hall full of family, friends and lots of well wishes. A job<br />
well done, and our fingers are crossed, wishing little Benson’s recovery.<br />
