The Comrades of the Brussels
Legion Branch are keeping busy
with meetings and meals this past
week. On Tuesday the ladies
cartered to the Shivvers Dryer
Clinic, sponsored by Huron Feeding
Systems. The group of around 50
people listened to guest speakers in
the morning and then enjoyed a roast
beef dinner. Branch helpers included
Judy Lee, Jo-Ann McDonald, Mary
Bradshaw and Mabel Glanville. The
clinic continued into the afternoon.
The final night of the Thursday
night dart league had most of the
regular players out for the fun night.
The beginning of the night had
normal game play. Winners were:
first, John Stadelmann and Sandra
Josling; second, Deb Burch and
Gord Jacklin; high shot, Sandra. The
group enjoyed some fun and lots of
snacks and then the awards for the
year were presented.
Winners were: most starts, Gord
Jacklin and Marlene Rutledge; most
finishes, Roger McHardy and
Sandra Josling; high shots over 100,
Sheron Stadelmann and Ron
Schmidt; high shot of the year,
Gord, 165; perfect score, Ron, 180;
most high starts over 60, Wayne
Smith and Deb Burch; high shot,
men, John Stadelmann, 112; high
shot, ladies, Marlene Rutledge, 130;
“mean team” award went to Deb and
Sandra, handing their opposition the
most skunks during the years play.
Deb Burch was also awarded the
“most skunked” award for the year.
Darts usually resume in October
and more players are welcome. This
is an evening that is open to the
public to come join the fun, so watch
for the start date in the fall. Have a
good summer.
The Friday night supper of ham
and scalloped potatoes was enjoyed
by a crowd of approximately 25.
This week will be roast pork. There
are only a few suppers left for the
year as the cooks move into the busy
catering season.
We congratulate Ron Schmidt on
his success in playing in the Darts
Ontario tournament. Ron finished in
the top 16 out of 400 competitors.
The event was held in St.
Catharines.
Comrades Jo-Ann and Rick
McDonald attended the District
Convention on Saturday in
Kincardine. They attended the
President’s meeting and then
returned to Brussels. They went to
the General Convention held on
Sunday accompanied by Comrade
Glenn Bridge. Comrades Eric Ross
and John Lowe also attended in their
respective capacities as Zone
Commander and District Youth
Chairman.
The Brussels Curling Club held its
50th anniversary celebration at the
Branch on Saturday. The group of
over 100 enjoyed Cardiff barbecued
beef and the ladies of the Branch
prepared the rest of the meal.
Helping for the Branch were Jo-Ann
McDonald, Mary Bradshaw, Judy
Lee, Mabel Glanville, Nanci
Ducharme and Jessica Johnston.
We hope Comrade Lisa Glanville

continues to improve.

Ah, the spring rains have come
and given the earth a nice wash.
That, for me, is one of the high
points of spring, that first nice, long,
warm rain followed by the greening
of the land – oh, we are so lucky to
have the four seasons to enjoy.
The stores on Turnberry have
increased this month. Welcome
Susan Murray in your new spot,
called Dreams Decor Shoppe. A wee
visit with Susan will show you all
the nice things that she has collected
for our buying pleasure. For anyone
who appreciates old wood, her
merchandise is displayed in room
settings, each separated by a nifty
old door or two. So pop in, say hello
to Susan and see her gift line so
nicely displayed.
It was a busy village on the
weekend as celebrations were taking
place in many spots – a Youth
Unlimited party, a 50th curling
reunion dinner, a buck and doe and a
pink flamingo party at the Dauphin
house, with well over 50 birds and a
nice picture of a very young Heather
decorating the side lawn. So lots of
tired folks by Sunday.
As the snow from winter left so
nicely, I kept wondering what would
the tundra swans do for rest and food
if the fields didn’t have enough
water for their time of refreshment in
our area. For years Ella Graber and
Ida Evans went in search of the
swans as spring took hold. So for me
as the days warm, I think of the
ladies out tooting about checking
known rest areas for the big white
birds. I can relax now, not that I
could do anything about it anyway,
but I’ve seen two ponds of water
with lots of resting birds.
Be sure to thank a volunteer as this
is Volunteer Week. Volunteer time is
spent in many places and done for
many reason, but everyone of those
hours makes the world a better place.
Did you think to pick up the garbage
along the road or dust the shelves at
a thrift shop or peel potatoes for a
supper. Hours spent with youth in
learning sportsmanship and skills
take a lot of dedicated time. Reading
to someone in a care facility or
teaching Sunday school, leading
Guide or Scouts or organizing
fundraisers for many, many causes
are all done because of volunteers.
Volunteers keep an eye on many
facets of our health, community,
specific interest groups, tree
coverage, trails, soil, water, river and
lake protection to name but a few.
Oh, yes, things would run amuck
quickly if the volunteers all took
holidays at once.
So thank you for your volunteer
time, energy and enthusiasm. The
reason that volunteers are not paid –
they are priceless!
Enjoy the fresh air and the
glorious days of spring.
Bye now, Betty G.W.

A NOTE FROM BETTY
A milestone award
On Saturday night the D.A. Rann Memorial Trophy was handed to the Brussels Curling Club
team with the most points in the 2015 season, the 50th anniversary season of the club. From
left: Peggy Rann, Bob Rann and Jane Hall presented the winning team of Karen Uhler, Jeff
Cardiff and Mike Alexander with the trophy at the special celebration at the Brussels Legion.
As is tradition, Bob also presented the team’s members with handcrafted wooden curling
coasters. The team placed first in the November/December draw with 52 points, the highest
point total of the season. (Vicky Bremner photo)
