The annual event, called Holidays on Ice, held at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre, honoured the club’s skaters and gave them a chance to strut their stuff before being awarded later in the afternoon.

A good memory was left of January 2011 with all the outdoors and sports people as a month that was made to celebrate winter. Good use wasmade of the beautiful days by theskiers, the walkers, the sledders andnaturally the folks on the snowmachines. Enjoy the days to come. With many days below zero lately the bird feeders are popular spots and in need of frequent refill. The rewards are worth it as stories of terrific visitors of the feathered kind are shared by the hosts of the feeders. Pairs of cardinals, little hawks, various woodpeckers, pretty juncos, lots of doves as well as the wee chickadees have all been discussed. Part of winter for bird lovers is sharing the food and stories and everybody is happy.The Peanuts Gang is here. A smilewill spread over your face as youdrive by the home and business ofJames and Lynn Jutzi as you head for Jamestown. There proudly guarding the front flowerbed is the gang, in all its glory. You need to slow down just to appreciate the sculpture of this thought-provoking bunch. The comic strips and books of the Peanut Gang by Shultz always made you see the world from a new view and end with a smile. My first glimpse of the Jutzi Gang was at night with lights behind the figures giving them a very realistic look. So check them out, think about thecharacters and give yourself a smile.Thanks Jutzis for a fun view.High school exams are finishedfor this term, so the students can relax a little except admission to college and university is now on the line. Be good to yourself, cold and flu season is in gear so eat well, sleep good and wash your hands properly many, many times each day. Bye now, Betty G.W.

The executive dealt with the usual business matters and responded to a couple of request for funds. Donations were approved for the Brussels Figure Skating Club and for the Victim Services of Huron County. Committee reports were heard from chairmen in attendance including Nevada, canteen, track and field, catering and fish fry events. Reports in absence were heard about poppy, sports youth and veteran services. The Nevada account is positive with monies going to the PeeWee hockey team for Young Canada Week. and the two requests passed earlier in the meeting. The track and field chairman Deb Caan reports that there is one athlete going to Toronto to participate in the indoor track and field competition. A donation to help with the expenses was approved. Adam Cousins will be high jumping. We found that Adam did very well and finished third in his event. He participated in the high jump and he jumped 1.6 metres, which Adam reports is not as good as his personal best during the 2010 year. He enjoyed his day and is happy he went. The catering reports a successful meal for the Huron County Beef Producers and February has one booking for the Dairy Producers. The summer is looking busy with four banquets booked. Bookings for fish fry events are beginning and there are already a half dozen confirmed. A request for a fish fry in Owen Sound was discussed and the members felt it was a little too far to travel. The youth report included that public speaking will be held at the Branch on Wednesday, March 2. The Thursday night darts had 11 darters taking aim at the boards. Winners were: first, Deb Burch, Tim Harrison and Kaye Smith; second, Alice Clifford, Roger McHardy and Marlene Rutledge; high shots, Gord Jacklin - 117, Tim - 103, and Marlene who finished with 140.
