December 28, 2018

It’s almost time to set those new year’s resolutions. For Team Fergmeijer, our goal for 2019 is to accomplish the goals of 2018, which we should have done in 2017, because we promised to do them in 2016 and started planning them in 2015.

There are numerous birthdays in town over this most festive of seasons. One might even say they are multitudinous, plentiful, untold, abundant, or even copious. Darren H and Melanie H both turned 29 over Christmas. Jen W-F and Doryell N just turned the big 29 yesterday. Chris T and Bev W are joining their ranks this weekend. Whew! That’s a lot of celebrating in just 7 days. If any of you need help disposing of any leftover cake, Team Fergmeijer is happy to offer our services. 

If walking in a winter wonderland isn’t your jam, sign up for a membership to the Kagawong Fitness Centre, where you can walk in the comfort of a dry, warm, comfortable room. Contact Sharon Jackson for more information. As Plucky, the KFC mascot says, “Come out and get some eggsercise!”

Once again, Billings came together for the annual Christmas concert. The MC kept the bar low with jokes of questionable quality, but the night was a fine mix of comedy and song. In addition to a mountain of non-perishable food, $200 was raised for Manitoulin Family Resource. Thank you to everyone who came out to welcome Santa to the community!

In related news, if Peter G is the crane, and Willa W sees him, which one of them do we crown in the Sandhill Crane spotting contest?

Euchre Night in Kagawong is on hiatus for the next couple of months: the regular Wednesday night games won’t be continued in 2019, but regular tournaments will run every third Wednesday starting on January 16th.

Save the date! Manitoulin Secondary School is presenting The Mikado, featuring a number of local youth, February 14-16, 2019. Don’t miss it!

Have you missed some of Team Fergmeijer’s columns? Are you new to the community and need to get caught up on the happenings over the last 3.5 years? Good news - we’ve been keeping an archive! Visit teamfergmeijer.blogspot.com for more Gobble Brigade antics, local news, and bad puns than you could ever want. 

And as we ring in the new year, remember: An optimist stays up to midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. All the best for a Happy New Year!

Holiday Special 2018

‘Twas the night before Christmas -

And ‘tis time for a rhyme!

And this year we submitted

Our column on time!

As usual we look back

On our year with reflection,

And certain events

Deserve closer inspection.

We can start with the vote,

And then reminisce,

On the many new faces

Brought into office.

Mayor Aus called it quits

And kindly stepped aside.

His long legacy though,

Cannot be denied.

Even with a fire ban

We sometimes awoke

To a hot sunny day

And a town filled with smoke!

St. Paul’s closed down,

But filled with music still:

It came back to life, as the

Old Church on the Hill!

A hot housing market

Saw lots of home buyers,

And we tripled the number of

Island Theijsmeijers!

Paikin sightings continued

From summer to fall,

And we held our first contest

For the sandhill crane call.

This year had a so many

Fundraising dinners with snacks,

That we may have started

To outgrow our slacks.

Thank goodness for Plucky

After meals extravagant,

A KFC workout

Kept us from living sans-pants

The Green Living Expo

Talked electric cars.

That rec committee is

Really filled with all-stars.

Summerfest, winterfest,

and concerts galore

Ask anyone and they’ll say

This town has lots to explore.

Even if the town

Was wholly uneventful,

It wouldn’t matter to us

It’s you who make it special.

So we wrap up our review

With wise words from long ago:

“Kagawong may be small

Be we are mighty, yo!”

Until spring time

When the first crane is seen

Have a happy and safe

2019!

December 14, 2018

Tonight’s the night! Kagawong Community Concert night! Meet us (and Santa!) at the Park Centre tonight at 7:30 for the usual song, skits and shenanigans you have come to expect from this (in)famous event. Admission is free, though donations of cash or non-perishable food are gratefully accepted and will be passed along to Manitoulin Family Resource.

As it is community concert tonight, we are easing back on the silly jokes this week. The MC will need all the help she can get tonight and we don’t want to steal her thunder. Plus, Team Fergmeijer is doing some last minute lobbying to get on Santa’s ‘nice’ list and we couldn’t be sure where the big guy falls on the pun issue.

Happy birthday to Hailey F who celebrates this weekend (although she is not turning 29 for quite some time). Her birthday is just far enough removed from Christmas that she doesn’t have to share presents between the two special days. Despite being geographically challenged by living way out on the east end, we feel Christine L-M is a Kagawongian where it counts, so we wish her a very happy 29th birthday next week.

The Island Singers also have a concert coming up! Sunday, December 16 at 3:30pm at the Missionary Church in Mindemoya. See posters around town for more details.

If walking in a winter wonderland isn’t your jam, sign up for a membership to the Kagawong Fitness Centre, where you can walk in the comfort of a dry, warm, comfortable room. Contact Sharon Jackson for more information.

Euchre Night in Kagawong is on hiatus for the next couple of months: the regular Wednesday night games won’t be continued in 2019, but regular tournaments will run every third Wednesday starting on January 16th.

The United Manitoulin Transit group is currently involved in a feasibility and needs study for local transit on the Island. If you are resident living on the Island you can complete the online survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/United_Manitoulin_Community_Transit_Survey

If you are an employer/business owner on Manitoulin you are invited to fill in this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Manitoulin_Island_Transit_Employer_Survey

Looking ahead to Christmas supper, the Kagawong Gobble Brigade urges you to mix things up a little this year when it comes to the main dish and invites you to visit www.CookingwiththeGoggleBrigade.com for dozens of fabulous pork and beef recipes. (Who wants to be the one to tell them they might want to rethink the URL?)

December 7, 2018

As we prepare for the holiday season, did you know that children around the world leave different treats for Santa? In North America, children leave cookies and milk, while in Denmark they leave rice pudding. Team Fergmeijer wonders what certain Kagawongians would leave for Santa on Christmas Eve?

Plucky, the Kagawong Fitness Centre mascot would leave Santa a protein shake, to help him recover from lifting all those heavy bags of presents.

Happy belated 29th birthday to Chantelle this past Monday way over there in Gore Bay. We’re pretty sure she partied as hardy as any Kagawongian would. And by party we mean had a healthy dinner, some quality time with the kids and was in bed by 9:30pm. Also celebrating her 29th birthday is Team Fergmeijer superfan, LZ. Happy living the quiet life in Evansville, LZ prefers to keep a low profile, so we promised her husband Peter we would never reveal her identity here in the column.

Tomorrow, don’t miss the Manitoulin Community Choir’s annual Song and Cider concert at the Park Centre! Be sure to get there early if you want a seat - the concert starts at 7pm.

The Kagawong Gobble Brigade would leave Santa a ham, so he doesn’t get any funny ideas for Christmas supper.

It will be here before you know it! Friday, December 14th is Kagawong’s (in)famous Community Christmas Concert! We are a bit short of performers and are always on the lookout for new acts to grace our stage. If you want to join the fun, but need some ideas, drop us a line at Kagawong@live.ca or send a message on the Kagawong Facebook page. As always, talent is not a requirement for any performers. Santa has already sent in his RSVP!

The Island Singers also have a concert coming up! Sunday, December 16 at 3:30pm at the Missionary Church in Mindemoya. See posters around town for more details.

Jean and Jamie would leave Santa some Twinkies. All their baking would have been snatched up at the cafe.

Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean Fido can’t get some exercise! The Kagawong off-leash dog park is still open throughout the winter! And if it’s you that’s looking to keep fit, and not your pooch: Plucky would like to remind you that a membership gets you 24/7 access to a gym full of equipment! Contact Sharon Jackson for more information.

Steph, Jenna and family would maybe leave a gingerbread house combining their construction skills and artistic flair. Of course, whatever they leave out, they have to make sure it’s out of reach of the goats.

Euchre Night in Kagawong is on hiatus for the next couple of months: the regular Wednesday night games won’t be continued in 2019, but regular tournaments will run every third Wednesday starting on January 16th.

Sandi and Dave, as well as Keith and Louise, all leave Santa a healthy selection of fruits and vegetables. Not a chocolate or jelly bean to be seen! Have a great week!

November 30, 2018

December 5th is International Ninja Day! In order to celebrate, Team Fergmeijer is going to see how many ninja puns we can silently and stealthily sneak into this column. As President Roosevelt once said, “we have nothing to fear but fear itself. And ninjas.”

The last euchre tournament of the year was last week. First place went to Pat & Betty, second place to Eva & Cathy, and third to Lil & Diane. Ted & Ruth had the most loners, while Candy & Phyllis went home with the low score prize. The door prize went to Doris. Euchre Night in Kagawong is on hiatus for the next couple of months: the regular Wednesday night games won’t be continued in 2019, but regular tournaments will run every third Wednesday starting on January 16th.

We don’t seem to have any birthdays to mention this week, so here’s just some food for thought: if you mail a ninja a birthday card, will it come back marked “address not found”?

Have a vision for Kagawong? Be sure to drop in to the public information session on the Main Street reconstruction and the waterfront development, Wednesday, December 5 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the Park Centre. Concept designs will be available for viewing, and township engineering consultants will be on hand to answer your questions and receive feedback.

Do you suppose ninjas shop at the stealth food store?

Coming up on Saturday, December 8, is the Manitoulin Community Choir’s annual Song and Cider concert at the Park Centre. Stay tuned for more details!

Mark Friday, December 14th on your calendars: Kagawong’s (in)famous Community Christmas Concert is back again this year! If you are interested in performing, just drop a line to Kagawong@live.ca or send a message on the Kagawong Facebook page. As always, talent is not a requirement for any performers. Santa has already sent in his RSVP!

What did the ninja bring to the Christmas party? Ninjabread cookies.

Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean Fido can’t get some exercise! The Kagawong off-leash dog park is still open throughout the winter! And if it’s you that’s looking to keep fit, and not your pooch: Plucky, the Kagawong Fitness Centre’s mascot, would like to remind you that a membership gets you 24/7 access to a gym full of equipment! Contact Sharon Jackson for more information.

We saved the worst ninja joke for last. Probably best to look away.

This is your chance to avoid it entirely…

Seriously, it’s not worth it …

Just jump over to the Prov column right now …

Well, you had your chance...

What does a ninja’s fart sound like? It’s silent, but deadly.

Have a good week!

November 23, 2018

There’s a nasty flu going around. We’ve heard of quite a few people who have been sick the last few days, and not the kind of sick that you put in air quotes because it’s hunting season. We hope those affected recover soon.

Christmas in Kagawong was a great success last weekend. Not only was the turkey stuffed, but so were the diners after an amazing turkey supper Friday night! The Park Centre was equally stuffed with vendors and shoppers all weekend long. Thank you to everyone who came out and made Kagawong such a happenin’ place on a cold and snowy weekend.

Congratulations to Orland and Andrew on taking first and second place in the annual Kagawong Scarecrow Hunt! Just like scarecrows, these two young men are outstanding in their field.

Happy birthday to Nora U as she turns 29 this week. Honourary Kagawongian Dwyne C is celebrating this week, too. We’re still waiting for confirmation on exactly how birthdays work out west, but we’re going to assume he will be turning 29 there as well. Rumour has it we owe Mel C some belated birthday wishes, as she turned 29 last week. If anyone knows how to live it up at 29, it’s Mel!

Speaking of birthdays, what do you get a hunter for his birthday? A birthday pheasant.

The Manitoulin Island Transit Feasibility study is coming to a community near you to determine how local transit service can be provided, what it would cost and how it could be funded. Three public meetings have been scheduled to provide members of the public with an opportunity to provide input on what priorities are to meet local needs today and in the future. Meetings are Gore Bay: Monday November 26 from 2:30pm – 4:00pm, Mindemoya: Monday November 26 from 5:30pm – 7:00pm, Little Current: Tuesday November 27 from 2:30pm – 4:00pm.Contact 1-705-561-7684  or gdumas@marchofdimes.ca for more information.

The Old Mill Heritage Centre museum is now closed for season. But fear not! They will open again in time for the Victoria Day long weekend. Follow them on their Facebook page for updates.

A biologist, a chemist and a statistician are out hunting. The biologist shoots at a deer but misses five feet to the right. The Chemist takes a shot at the deer, too and misses five feet to the left. The statistician shouts, “We got it!” Have a great week!

November 16, 2018

Have you ever had that moment when you slip on the ice, fall down with your iPhone in your pocket, and hear a crack, and pray that it was your leg? Oh, uh, no, we haven’t either...

Christmas in Kagawong is this weekend!! November 16 - 18th, be sure to stop in at the Park Centre. Each day there will be vendors upstairs, while downstairs is the Friends of the Billings Library silent auction. On Friday night come out for the annual turkey dinner ($16 per person). On Saturday, in addition to checking out any vendors you missed the day before and upping your bid at the silent auction, you can checkout the luncheon put on by the museum board. On Sunday you will have one last chance at the auction, and kids can come out for crafts and a kid-friendly Christmas store.

Everyone’s favourite midwife is turning 29 on Monday! It looks like Mary B might be in Calgary for the big day, so there’s no telling how old she’ll be while she’s there, but I’m sure she’ll be celebrating in style. A summer regular, Dave T, is also celebrating his 29th birthday this week. Many happy returns to both of you!

There was a wonderful turnout for the Kagawong Remembrance Day service on Sunday. Kudos to the museum board for putting on another poignant and respectful ceremony honouring veterans. St. John's in Kagawong rang the Bells of Peace at sundown on Remembrance Day, marking 100 years since the end of World War I. We shall not forget.

Come out to the Park Centre and join the fun at Euchre! The next tournament is November 21. Regular Wednesday night games won’t start up again until April, but the 2019 tournament season will kick off again on January 16th.  Last week’s results are: High Score - Fred Pickard, Most Loners - Mike Arbour, Low Score - Wilma Wright, Door Prize - Kal Merrilees.

The weather this week has been snow laughing matter. We were waiting for the bus the other day in a snowstorm and tried to break the ice with the lady next to us with a simple, “Ice to meet you,” but no luck. She just gave us the cold shoulder. We were on our way to the ski hill for a little fun and relaxation, and the trip started out alright, but it wasn’t long before it all started to go downhill. We thought we were going to use the crazy carpets and GTs to slide down the hill, but they only allow skiing. We felt totally mi-sled. Then, one half of Team Fergmeijer wanted to stop and get matching tattoos of Frosty on their stomachs. The other half of the team refused to get the abdominal snowman though, so we finally left. After all, as fun as trips like that can be, there’s just snow place like home.  

November 9, 2018

Here at Team Fergmeijer, we’ve decided that Friday is our second favourite word. Our first favourite is…. Food. Why, what did you think we were going to say?

In honour of Guy Fawkes Day and the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, Kagawong’s most British resident, Mike C (aka MBB) and the lovely Susie D hosted a dignified evening of fine wine, elegent guests, and intellectually stimulating discussions of current geopolitics. Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed a delicious array of gastronomic delights...Okay, a bunch of people got together at Mike and Susie’s, drank booze, and burned an effigy in a bonfire so big it could be seen from space. But the food part was true - Susie makes a mean chili. Remember, remember the 5th of November!

A very happy birthday goes out to Jody K who is looking fine at 29! As is former Kagawongian Margaret L. Birthdays may work differently in the West, but here in Kagawong, she's turning 29 next week.

How do you get two whales in a car? You start in England and drive west.

The Kagawong Remembrance Day Service will be Sunday, November 11th, at 11AM, at the Park Centre. Afterward, join fellow Kagawongians at a gathering at the Old Mill Heritage Centre from noon until 4pm. Stay tuned for more details next week.

Come out to the Park Centre and join the fun at Euchre! Regular play continues on Wednesday November 14, and the next tournament is November 21.

Christmas in Kagawong is November 16 - 18th at the Park Centre. Each day there will be vendors upstairs, while downstairs is the Friends of the Billings Library silent auction.

On Sunday you will have one last chance at the auction, and kids can come out for crafts and a kid-friendly Christmas store.

One half of Team Fergmeijer had to go to the doctor the other day because they couldn’t stop signing “Green, Green Grass of Home.” The doctor claimed it was Tom Jones Syndrome. When asked if it was a common ailment, he replied, “It’s not unusual.” Have a great week!

November 2, 2018

We don’t know about you, but Team Fergmeijer had a great Hallowe’en. Our vampire costume was fangtastic! Some might have thought the skirt was a bit short, but you know what they say - if you’ve got it, haunt it! As usual, Kagawongians were unboolievably generous when handing out treats. Though we couldn’t decide witch candies to eat first, soon we were goblin up ALL the Hallowe’en goodies.

A very happy birthday goes out to Gail Los this weekend. It’s hard to believe such a tiny package has fit a whole 29 years in already! Also celebrating a big occasion is Joy who turned 29(ish) this week, too. We’re sure Barb and Susan had a blow-out party, though we’re not sure if they managed to pull off the surprise part.

Last weekend ghouls, ghosts, devils, angels and even some werewolves of London all converged on the Park Centre for the annual family Hallowe’en dance. Kids of all ages were Thriller-d to play games, indulge in snacks and to do the Monster Mash. One Zombie was overheard to say “Somebody’s Watching Me,” and the Black Magic Woman beside her replied, “Hells Bells, Living Dead Girl! That’s what you get for Running With the Devil when there’s a Bad Moon Rising.”

The Kagawong Remembrance Day Service will be Sunday, November 11th, at 11AM, at the Park Centre. Afterward, join fellow Kagawongians at a gathering at the Old Mill Heritage Centre from noon until 4pm. Stay tuned for more details next week.

Our condolences go out to Jen and Dwyne Cichon and their family on the loss of Dwyne’s father. Florian was an amazing man and a much loved father and grandfather.

With Hallowe’en under our belt, it’s time to start thinking Christmas thoughts. Christmas in Kagawong is coming very soon! Mark November 16 - 18th on your calendar to check out the vendors or try your luck with the library silent auction.

One last piece of Hallowe’en wisdom: Hold on to a bit of your trick-or-treat candy. It’ll come in handy when you forget about Valentine’s Day! Have a great week!

October 26, 2018

Is there nothing so beautiful as the final haul on Hallowe’en night?! The time for trick-or-treating is just around the corner. Beware the ghoulies and ghosties this Wednesday night, and be safe!

Over 800 ballots were cast, and the results are in! Congratulations to the new mayor and councillors of Billings township! Mayor Ian Anderson will be joined in council meetings by Bryan Barker, Sharon Alkenbrack (incumbent), Sharon Jackson, and Michael Hunt.

Happy Birthday to Rachel B who turned 29 this week. We heard Pat wanted to take her somewhere nice. We hope he wasn’t Baroque and had Monet for Degas to make their Van Gogh.  Another Kagawongian celebrating a birthday next week is Meranda N. She is not celebrating her 29th quite yet, which is good because once she does, we at Team Fergmeijer (who may or may not have changed her diapers once upon a time) are going to start feeling really old.
