At the Branch
Decoration service well attended
By Jo -Ann McDonald
It was a quiet week but a busy
weekend at the Brussels Legion
Branch. The Saturday afternoon
euchre had 14 tables of players
hoping to be the big winners. Bush
Whittard returned to run the euchre
for the day in the absence of Glenn
Bridge.Winners were: first, Anne
Laidlaw and Joyce Hodgins, 89;
second, Doug and Anne Hugill, 72;
third, Frank and Betty Hulley, 71;
lone hands, Al and John Brown, six
and low, Ruth Picard and friend
Marie, 44. Euchre is every two
weeks. We are still looking for
volunteers to help on the occasion so
contact the Branch or Glenn Bridge.
The fish fry crew went to Mitchell
Legion to cook for a small crowd.
Working for the Branch was Deb
Ross and Cam and Kim Ross. The
trio just had to cook fish and got
along very well.
The Cemetery Decoration service
was held at Brussels Cemetery on
Sunday afternoon. The service was
led by Padre Sandra Cable and
President Jo -Ann McDonald for the
Legion. It was nicely attended by
approximately 35 people. The Pipe
Band led the procession and the
Branch flags were carried by Deb
Cann and Eric Ross. The Pipe Band

played two numbers during the
service and Jamie Mitchell played

Remembrance.
Padre Sandra Cable did an
excellent job with the scripture and
reflection. The names of those who
now rest in Brussels Cemetery who
passed away from 2014-2016 were
read by Padre Sandra and President
Jo -Ann, as no representatives of the
churches were present. Sergeant -at -
Arms Lisa Glanville ordered the
parade at the conclusion of the
service.
As usual Brussels Cemetery
looked its very finest due to the
wonderful job done by Dale and
Starr Bachert and the many relatives
who place flowers on the graves of
their loved ones. We thank all who
make the effort to make the
cemetery look so nice and for
attending the service.
The Sunday night dance had a
great crowd enjoying the music of
the John Heaman Band for the first
time this year. John winters in
Florida and this was the first
opportunity for him to come to the
Brussels Legion. Approximately 80
people were thrilled to hear him play
his old songs and some new songs
for the performance. John will be
back in August.

Ah, the rain came, what a blessing,
what a relief. The balance in nature
is pretty precarious and so often we
don't even notice — so it was lovely
to sit on the porch and just watch the
precious liquid fall on Sunday.
The excitement of the school kids
as the days of June slip away is joy
in motion. Whether they're going up
a grade, changing schools or
graduating, all of the above are
worthy of celebration and
excitement. Let the holidays begin.
Fun and fair weather were all in
the program as Grey Township
celebrated 160 years as a precious
part of Huron County. The
organizers held their breath as the
last details came about and only the
weather and the people could make
or break their efforts. All was well.
Smiles came as the balmy weather
lured residents and visitors to party
and participate in Ethel and Grey
township. History, visiting, games,
food and the parade were all
appreciated and well attended. So
good job to the workers and
organizers. May prosperity continue
in our rural corner of the world.
The United Church sees camping
as an important part of growing up.
New directors at Camp Menesetung,
near Goderich, joined Rev. Gary
Clark at worship on Sunday to share
their enthusiasm for children in
God's world. Mary Ross and
Clayton Peters' enthusiasm was
contagious as songs and stories of
camp were shared and past
memories of church camping
surfaced for many in the

congregation. Makes one wish for a
moment you were a kid again.
If you want to admire a piece of
Mark Breckenridge's skill as a
sculptor of steel, pop onto Graham
Road. Mark has a great talent that
makes things of nature take on life.
His talents have been recognized at
competitions, a globe with an eagle
perched and a stallion in gear come
to mind. A wee drive-by will show
you a life -like bear that makes you
admire skill and artistry all at once.
Pretty fine work Mark.
Don't forget to come to the
market. Yes, it too needs your
regular Friday attendance to keep it a
viable venue.
Take care of yourself.
