A fond farewell
After nearly 10 years in the community, Rev. Gary Clark held his final service on Sunday — a
joint service with Blyth and Brussels United Churches. The service featured plenty of music,
both performed by Clark himself and by musicians within both congregations. Here, Mary Ann
Thompson, left, Betty Graber Watson, centre, and Joan Bernard, did their part as members of
a mass performance. (Vicky Bremner photo)
At the Branch
New Branch executive elected
By Jo -Ann McDonald
The month of April at the Brussels
Legion Branch was busy. Elections
were held at the general meeting last
week. There were no new Comrades
attending to step forward to take a
place on the executive. The elections
were run by Comrade Glenn Bridge
and Deputy Zone Commander Keith
Vanderhoek. The new executive
consists of President, Jamie
Mitchell; First -Vice President, Andy
Overholt; Second Vice -President,
Judy Lee; Treasurer, Alicia
McDonald, Secretary, Catrina
Josling; Sergeant -at -Arms, Lisa
Glanville; executive committee
members, Mabel Glanville, Eric
Ross, Deb Ross, Nanci Ducharme,
Lisa Glanville and Sandra Josling
and Past -President Jo -Ann
McDonald.
President Jamie Mitchell will be
looking to fill the many chairs of the
committees. Some will remain the
same, but others will need new
chairs and committee members.
Please consider his request and help
out the Branch in some way by
serving on a committee.
We hope that all Comrades have
tickets for the July 1 draw and have
books to sell. This is our major
summer fundraiser and we hope
every Comrade can do their best to
help sell the draw tickets.

had 11 tables of players at play.
Winners were: first, Bruce and Joan,
76; second, Alice H. and Jean M.,

A NOTE FROM BETTY
By Betty

Hurrah, hurrah for the first of
May... The showers of April have
set things growing at a marvellous
rate. The many shades of green are
evident and the growth is
measurable by the day on many of
the plants. Yes rebirth is a wonder.
The Canada 150 tulips were a hit
last fall with many stores wanting
more. Now as the bulbs grow and
sprout, comparisons of development
are heard as the leaves show their
variegation and the flowers are
showing form. One patch has a few
orange blooms out already where the
supposedly red and white bulbs were
planted. Oh Canada, we celebrate
our diversity even in the bulbs.
The daffodil field west of
Belgrave that I talked about last
week that was so good to see, I've
since been told that John Gaunt is
the one to thank for the spring
display. So thanks John.
Many times we grumble about
nothing to watch on television, I
lucked out on Sunday evening. A
documentary on The Beast, the fire
of last year in Fort McMurray was
shown. Details were filmed from the
beginning on May 2 including, the
power of the wind, the height of the
fire, the exodus of 88,000 people,
the power of fire and the effect it has
on weather, the role of the water
treatment people and all the after-
effects in this past year. It was a
