A NOTE FROM BETTY

The winter has arrived with all the
variety that we expect. Squalls,
accumulation as well as the beautiful
days like Saturday with sunshine as
the bonus. Our snow -filled weather
of last week offered me e-mails from
Grand Rapids, Michigan, Edmonton,
Alberta, Creston, British Columbia
and Hamilton. Pictures of a car with
only a peek hole through the snow -
laden windshield had family and
friends wondering what the people of
Brussels were thinking. I replied it
was another mystery in life.
Ralph has spent the last week
visiting with Barry and Josie Watson
in Tuscan, Arizona and reports
sunshine and 75°F, I replied -13°C
and diamonds on the snow and we
both were happy.
The folks who own snow
machines had a lovely weekend. The
trails were groomed, the sun was out
and the company was great.
Watching the many coloured
snowmobiles zipping by from our
back window was fun. The soccer
field area seems to be a good resting
spot for several machines to
congregate.
The 2015 Citizen of the Year
Sandra Cable was honoured after
church on Sunday. Citizen editor
Shawn Loughlin thanked the several
people who nominated Sandra and
then spoke of the beginning of the
Citizen of the Year as a way The
Citizen could thank the community.
He reviewed the many ways Sandra
has contributed, first in her role as
clergy at Brussels United Church
and, in the years of her retirement,
the groups she has helped along the
way.
Hank TenPas from The Citizen's
Board of Directors spoke of Sandra's
gifts to Brussels area and presented
her with an engraved plaque.
Church friends contributed to the
event with kind words, a scroll,
orchids and a hat suitable for this
grand occasion. Sandra's children
Jeff, Jodi and Jana, their partners and
grandchildren Nicolas, Emily, Eric,
Jack and Grace from the Forest area
were able to attend worship, the
presentation to mom and grandma,
then on to a family celebration at
mom's. So another happy day for
many. Keep up the good work
Sandra.
Take care of yourself.
Bye now, Betty G.W.

At the Branch
FROM BRUSSELS
Lions to host Legion breakfast
By Jo -Ann McDonald
It's another week and almost the
end of the first month of 2016 at
Brussels Legion Branch — hard to
believe how time flies! Cadets met
Tuesday evening and are busy
making plans for many upcoming
events including their winter
camping weekend.
The Thursday night dart league
had 10 darters enjoying the evening.
Winners were: first, Marlene Rut-
ledge and Sandra Josling; second,
Daisy Wong Schmidt and Wayne
Smith; high, Sandra, 100 and Penny
Reynolds, 88. The group welcomes
anyone wishing to come out for a
night of fun anytime they can.
The power of the press, or lack of
press, my fault entirely, was evident
at the Friday night supper. A very
small, really small group came out
to enjoy the roast beef dinner. The
dinners returned, but the folks
forgot! This week will be ham and
scalloped potatoes and the next
week will be chicken breast.
Hopefully we have a few more out
to enjoy.
Two teams of Comrades went to
Kincardine for zone euchre on
Saturday. Team one was Paul
Machan, Norm Dobson, Glenn
Bridge and Lloyd Glanville. Team
two was Eric Ross, Deb Ross, Barry
O'Krafta and Bob Richardson. The
group had a good day and one team
finished fourth and the other
seventh, so they will both advance to
district play in Mitchell.
The Saturday afternoon euchre
had 12 tables of players. Winners
were: first, Betty Thompson and
Nancy Turner, 74; second, tied,
Edna McLellan and Judy Hahn,
Ariel Wood and Pauline Bennett and
Earl and Jean Foster, 72; third,
Murray Forbes and Hank Johnston,
70; lone hands, John Brown and
George Bacon, five; low, Shirley
Hopper and Loretta Vanstone, 46.
The Branch thanks Bush Whittard
and his emergency helper Jean
Bridge.
The Sunday night dance had a
good crowd enjoy the music of The
Country Versatiles.
The Brussels Lions have taken on
the task of hosting breakfast at the
Legion. They have chosen the third
Sunday of the month and are hoping
for a good turnout. The venture is to
support the addition at the Legion.
