Nerve inflammation The Citizen Crossword Continued from page 2 canteen with great homemade treats. The Annual National Poppy campaign began this past Friday. Saturday morning, members of Brussels Branch 218 canvassed the town, providing poppies and accepting donations for the poppy fund. There were seven Comrades along with 14 Cadets from the Brussels 2967 Cadet Corp volunteering their time to canvas. It is anticipated that over 18 million poppies will be proudly worn between now and Nov. 11. As heard in the words as part of the Act of Remembrance, “At the going down of the sun, we will remember them,” poppies are laid to rest at sundown on Remembrance Day. It is in respect for the fallen, for those who made the ultimate sacrifice, that we lay our poppies at rest. The poppy is worn on the left lapel, near the heart, a sign of respect. Since 1921, the Poppy has stood as a symbol of Remembrance – a visual pledge to never forget those Canadians who have fallen in war and military support operations. The poppy also stands internationally as a “symbol of collective reminiscence” as other countries have adopted its image to honour those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. We invite everyone to wear a poppy and attend the Remembrance Day service near you. The service at the Brussels cenotaph, in front of the Brussels Legion, begins at 10:30 a.m. “They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.” National Poppy campaign started Village Pumpkin Party shows creative carving skillsWhile the weather last Saturdaywas trying to remind us that winteris just around the corner, inside theMemorial Hall in Auburn people were all still very much in autumn mode. It was the annual Auburn Village Pumpkin Party. Grandparents, parents and smiling children alike were all busy around tables creating works of art by carving spiders, cats and owls into the side of pumpkins. Many volunteers were there tohelp from the community includingthe 4-H Club to keep the fun meter running high. These volunteers guided kids in decorating rice crispy squares and cupcakes which were quickly eaten upon completion. Children could also participate in dressing up in some of the costumes on hand or try their hand at the egg race. The event was sponsored by theAuburn Horticultural Society.Karen Redmond of the society said they have been doing the Village Pumpkin Party for three years now. “It is a great way to come together as a community,” she said. The Horticulture Society helps to keep Auburn beautiful by taking care of flowerbeds around the village. Last year Karen said theywere able to raise $900 by sellingdonated plants to help fund events like the Village Pumpkin Party. An afternoon of pumpkin carving was followed by a community potluck supper in the evening. After giving thanks, neighbours sat with neighbours sharing stories and laughter over a variety of casseroles and cakes and pies. To end the evening all the carved pumpkins from the day were lit up and then the hall’s lights were turned off and we all stared at the wonder of jack-o- lanterns glowing in the dark.
