Double duty
Henk Ten Pas, left, has a couple of things to mark on Remembrance Day. Not only is it his
birthday, but as a man born in Holland, Ten Pas knows the true sacrifice and meaning of the
Canadian soldiers in World War II. The day holds special meaning for him. He is seen here
along with many members of the public placing their poppies on wreaths at the Brussels
Legion's annual Remembrance Day ceremony. (Shawn Loughlin photo)

The organization One Care is
looking for volunteer drivers to
deliver hot meals around Brussels.
The truck arrives in Brussels around
noon and the driver would then
deliver to the homes that have
ordered meals. At this time there are
only four homes and the meals come
Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays.
Volunteer drivers can help whatever
days would suit them and as often as
they would like. If any members of
the Branch or interested Brussels
residents would like to become a
volunteer meal delivery person,
hey can contact Grace at
519-482-1634 ext. 2001 as soon as
they can.

As I travel the roads on my daily
drive, I pass only one more field of
corn to be harvested and maybe by
the end of Monday and writing, it
too will be gone. Lots of ground has
been worked and many farms are
starting to look "forlorn". The
brown earth now resting for the
winter and the machinery being
stored away for the winter, makes
the farmyards looked empty and
barren. The healthy green winter
wheat crop is a welcome break in
scenery and a promise of the next
crop year to come. Some are still
getting ready for winter by cutting
wood, some are still piling and
putting it in, some are raking or
blowing leaves, some are getting the
snowblower ready to use and
still some are cutting lawns. While
away on the weekend, the nice
weather even prompted the hearty
to be out golfing, just one more
time! We cannot complain about
the weather, but we can be sure,
we will be complaining soon
enough.
We send our get -well wishes or
speedy recovery wishes to John Van
Vliet. He has had a hip replacement
and we hope he comes along
quickly in his recovery.
The first of two deer -hunting
weeks is now over and there are a
few less deer in our area. To be
honest, in my travels I did not see
many groups of hunters out there
but, I have heard they had a good
week. Weather was good, almost too
good. It was so warm on Tuesday,
but no complaining about warm
weather in November. The Ryan
gang managed to get seven deer and
the last number heard was 10 for the
Glanville gang. I am sure there were
others, and I hope they had a good
week.
In my travels, I see the stakes are
going up in some areas for the
snowmobile trails. Great weather to
get that job done and easier to pound
in the stakes when the ground is not
frozen.
Celebrating birthdays this past
week include Jeanne Kirkby,
Darcy McCutcheon, Johnathon
Williamson, Brian Pryce, Danielle
Ducharme, Murray Henderson,
Katie Roth, Tristan Rijkhoff, Pat
Gillis, Michael Grobbink, Blaine
Marks, Lynne Godkin and Anne
Storey. Happy birthday to all.
