A NOTE FROM BETTY

Now that the groundhog has had
its say, we can move into the love
portion of this fine month, February.
Who can't love February, it's short
and concise, the fatigue of
At the Branch
Christmas is past, the bills are
caught up and the exercise program
is back on track. So here's to
February.
Perhaps, you could get your
flowers ordered now and not take the
chance of missing out on the red and
white varieties that are pretty
popular and may be all gone by the
weekend. Have a Happy Valentine's
Day.
The hockey crowd have been busy
promoting our area in the Kraft
Hockeyville 2016 event. Lots of e-
mails have gone to support our
community and the need for arena
upgrades. There is some pretty stiff
resh start
competition when you check the
listings, but it's always good to
promote community in a positive
manner and hope for the best. Good
work folks.
Last Wednesday was a day off for
the school crowd, is it a PA Day or
PD day? Anyway it made my day as
Jill came for a sleepover. Of course
we had fun. She's a cook rather than
a baker at the nine-year stage of life,
so a very hearty cauldron of soup
was produced after much peeling
and cutting. Rice Krispie squares
were whipped up and made for a
pretty fine meal.
Society is changing and some of
Cadets plan for winter eampout
By Jo -Ann McDonald
It was many of the usual
happenings at the Brussels Legion
Branch this past week. The Cadets
met and made plans for the winter
campout which is being held at the
high school in Wingham. The
melting snow will make it a little
difficult to "survive" in the snow, but
A correction
In last week's edition of The
Citizen, a headline misidentified the
theme of the Brussels Fall Fair,
"Showing the Bounty of Huron
County", instead suggesting it as the
theme of the 2017 International
Plowing Match.
The Citizen apologizes for any
confusion caused by the error.
February is for
Sweethearts!

I am sure they will find a way to
learn the basics of survival.
The Thursday night darts have had
about a dozen darters each week for
the last two weeks and a common
first -place winner for two weeks
running. Marlene Rutledge was
partnered with Jim Brown on the
first week for the win and partnered
with the returning Roger McHardy
for the win in the second week. The
second -place winner in week one
was single player Sandra Josling and
the pair of John Stadelmann and
Sharon Robbins won second in week
two. High shots were earned by
Sandra 137, Gord Jacklin 118 and
Sharon Robbins 102. In week one,
the third skunk of the year was
earned by darters Deb Burch and
Betty Ann Smith. Do we say
congratulations to them?

was prepared by Sandra Josling with

A disorientated robin was perched
on our fence this week, hopefully
getting ready to head back south for
a wee while yet. Actually she looked
quite cheery and gave us cause to
pause and think about the weather
and how it messes many things up.
Oh well, just like all of life we live
it, not organize it, thank goodness.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
