Midget team takes OMHA gold
Some very nice hardware is now
in Brussels and Blyth around the
necks of our hard-working Midget
team. Their winning game was on
Sunday against Belmont in the C
division. Lessons about teamwork, a
good attitude and hard work will
stay with our young men when they
think back on the year they won.
Good job guys, you deserve to
wear the medal from the Ontario
Minor Hockey Association with
pride in how you handled your many
games this year. For folks concerned
about our villages combining sports
team this is a good example that
worked. Thanks men.
The spring Optimist party was
another good one. Good food, good
company and lots of great things to
bid on. Jeff and Cathy Cardiff and
their efficient crew did their good
cooking for the benefit of the crowd.
Silent auction, tickets and bidding
on articles got the money out of
pockets to be shared. Murray
McArter and Don Sholdice make a
good duo to loosen cash from the
party people, as they were tempted
by water heaters, purses, gravel,
chairs, quilts and food. Great
selection from some very generous
people who support the way the club
supports community. If you’re
looking for an auctioneer in the
future, give Dale Finch a call. She’s
at the beginning of the auctioneer
learning curve and if Crusher keeps
coaching, she may just make it to
Optimist Club calibre.
Results of the recent Majestic WI
euchre party were: high lady, Dona
Knight; low lady, Elunid McNair;
high man, Edna McLellan (playing
as a man); low man, Allan Edgar;
lone hands, ladies’, Judy Hahn,
Phyllis Mitchell; men’s, Jim Knight;
lucky tally, Viola Adams, Fannie
Somers, Bob Smith.
We’re into Holy Week now. The
end of Lent is in sight and the
celebration of Easter is fast
approaching. Family and friends
gather to renew this time of
resurrection. For Christians, Easter
is the time of great joy, a time to
know that life is everlasting and so
celebrations take place in churches
in our area.
Sights like spring bulbs peeping
through the mulch and buds seen on
bushes and trees, new baby goats
and many other things remind us
that death is not the end of life. It’s a
new beginning.
Don’t forget to go to Brussels
United on Saturday morning for
your Easter treats, you’ll be glad
you did.
So enjoy the long weekend and
celebrate new beginnings in your
life.
Happy Easter!
