Jan. 31 proved to be a very windy day. Tim and Sandra Fisher of Middle Stewiacke
had a machinery shed partially built when the winds hit, blowing it down.
On Saturday, a group of 40 men from a Mennonite church group in Berwick and 10 more friends and neighbours came to the rescue and cleaned up the debris getting it ready to rebuild. The building measured approximately 50 feet by 80 feet.
