Waltham HELEN PERRY 819-689-2652

Once again, this year on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, senior residents in Waltham are participating in an exercise program sponsored by Vie Active. It takes place at the Waltham Town Hall from 10:30 a.m. to11:30 a.m. So come out and chase away those winter blahs and enjoy an hour of exercise and friendship.
On Friday, we experienced a mix bag of weather with rain, freezing rain and then snow. The temperature plunged from eight degrees Celsius to – 35 degrees Celsius with the wind chill on Friday night. There was flash freezing which made the roads quite treacherous. I hope that no one encountered any mishap.

Take caution everyone as there have been several deer spotted in the area. There were two collisions with deer in the past week just east of Waltham. There were no injuries, but there was quite a bit of damage to the cars.
Our heartfelt sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with the Gleason family of Sheenboro, Que. in the recent passing of their dearly loved mother Carmelita (nee Downey). She was the beloved wife of the late Percy Gleason.
