Earth Day prompts reflection
The temperature is rising, the
water is receding, the sun is shining
and it’s getting greener every day.
Even better, as I write this, Earth
Day is being celebrated. Time to
think about our place in the world
and how that affects things.
We look at the Earth and often
forget that everything we do has an
effect. We think that our influence is
minimal but that is not true – our use
of water, hydro and material goods
does affect the big picture. So Earth
Day is a time for us to stop to
consider the needs and wants in ourlives. They are not the same, so forat least once a year, daily would bebetter, stop and think – do I really,
really need to do this? Earth will
thank you as well as the coming
generations for your conservation
efforts.
The Maitland Conservation
Foundation held its 25th annual
dinner and auction on Friday at the
Community Centre. Conservation
education is the mandate of this
volunteer board which represents
the length and health of the
Maitland River. Events like this one
give people an opportunity to show
their financial support for the many
events that the schools and our
community have available. The
board hosts, often at the Wawanosh
Nature Centre, times of learning and
fun that show that conservation can
be a way of life. So the bidding was
brisk as canoes, chairs, pictures,
wine, sculptures and many, many
more items went home with thehighest bidder. Table centrepieces,always unique, and balloons madefor a festive place. So thanks to the
volunteers for all their hard work
and to Jeff and Cathy Cardiff and
Company for the great food. At this
event everyone is a winner, even
into the next generations.
We have a wayward robin at our
place. Since last Tuesday, this
“special” bird has been hitting our
front window at varying speeds,
frequency and placement, many,
many times each day. It appears that
part of a coloured glass panel that’s
hung there for years is his target.
The sound can be like knocking in

A NOTE FROM BETTY
By Jo-Ann McDonald
It was a busy week at the Brussels
Legion Branch. The Thursday night
darts had 14 darters taking aim at
the boards. Winners were: first,
Roger McHardy and Sheron
Stadelmann; second, Wayne Smith
and Sandra Josling; high, Deb
Cann, 126 and Wayne, 107; eighth
skunk of season, Lisa Glanville and
Deb Burch. This Thursday, April 25
is the last night of regular darts and
the wrap-up fun night of darts is
May 2.
The Branch was the venue for the
luncheon following the funeral of
Earle Hicks. Our sympathies are
extended to the Hicks family.
The Friday night supper of
chicken breast was enjoyed by
almost 30 folks on a bausy evening.
The Branch was pleased to receive a
warming buffet this week and we
thank Huronlea for the donation.
This Friday will be roast pork.
North Woods Elementary School
held a fish fry at the Branch on
Saturday. They had a great crowd of
over 280 enjoy the dinner. The
Branch had members Andy
Overholt, Mike Dauphin, Jim
Brown, Bob and Monica
Richardson, Ron Schmidt, Pete,
Murray Lowe and Sharon Robbins
working. It was cool,
I mean cold, working the fryers,
but they persevered and did a great
job.
The Saturday afternoon euchre
had 14 tables of players. Helping
Comrade Bush Whittard was Deb
Cann. Winners were: high, John
Brown and Catherine McDonald,
79; second, John and Iola Subject,
72; third, Viola Adams and Ruth
Sharpin, 69; lone hands, Dianne
McGuire and Betty Thompson, five;
low, Nancy and Marilyn, 45..
The Sunday night dance crowd
enjoyed the music of The Red
Rascals. There were almost 70 in
attendance. Comrades Don
Chesher, Mabel Glanville, Jo-Ann
McDonald, Judy Lee and Mary
Bradshaw helped for the evening.
Don’t forget to order your pies
available for Mother’s Day. Save
yourself the time and the mess of
baking when family members are
coming home. Call the Branch
today.

Correction
In the April 18 issue of The Citizen
some details regarding the formation
of a Leo Club in Brussels were
reported incorrectly.
The Brussels Lions Club, as
mandated by Lions Club
International, must form a Leo Club
advisory committee made up of
Lions Club members whose role it is
to provide start-up financial
assistance, to mentor, provide
guidance and supervision as
required, and be present at all Leo
Club meetings and activities. The
Leo Club’s meetings will be led by
the Leo Club’s executive committee
and their activities will be
undertaken by the Leo Club
members. Oversight will be
provided by the Lions Club
members, with parent volunteers
helping with supervision on field
trips or similar situations, only as
necessary.
For more details on the April 29
information night, contact Lions
Club President Paul Mutter at 519-
887-6117.
The Citizen apologizes for the
error.

Having a ball
Nicole Alexander was all smiles during her visit to the
Vanastra Recreation Centre last week. On Friday, several
community members in Brussels and Vanastra sponsored
the cost so 38 students could travel and swim in the pool.
