A life remembered well
The late Rev. Cathrine Campbell was named Citizen of The
Year earlier this month and the opening ceremonies of the
150th Brussels Fall Fair provided the perfect backdrop for
Cathrine’s sister Sheana Campbell to accept the award on
her behalf. Sheana is shown here, after accepting the
award, telling the assembled guests about the great works
her sister did for the Brussels community. (Denny Scott photo)

NEWS
FROM BRUSSELS
What a busy week! Volunteers
going full blast, supporting ideals
and working hard to maintain a
lifestyle that many of us take for
granted. The thoughts and views of
many in our community, remind me
of all the chat about the financial
state in Europe. That may seem like
a stretch, but I work well with
simple.
Life is good, take what you want
and give no consideration to others
by your action. Stop. We all breath
the same air so our words and action
do affect others, if we want the small
town lifestyle we all need to help.
Like Greece, we need to decide very
fast our steps to the future. Again,
it’s not too hard – volunteer your
time, money also works well, buy
from our local area and give it full
support to causes that keep
community a good place to live. We
can do it.
On Wednesday the weather was
grand, despite rain warnings and sun
shone on a long and very
entertaining parade, celebrating 150
years of agricultural life. Thanks
from the United Church for buying
and waving your fair flags, they
looked good. The Community
Centre was quite spiffy with the new
flower boxes and plaque for the
agricultural society. The displays
were excellent, the talent, ideas andwork involved was very impressive.Seeing all the animals is always aneducation. The food and midway are
true staples of the fair and once
again, they maintained their
excellent reputation. So the fair is
over for another year, thanks for
another fun time in Brussels.
The big white tent was an open
invitation offered by Brussels folk to
support our local businesses.
Business displays with products,
music, horse and wagon rides and
food offered on a lovely Sunday
afternoon gave people a chance to
think about the future of small town.
The Economic Development
Committee of Huron East planted
some ideas for improving life in
business and Brussels took hold to
show that hope is there if we do our
part to help. A sold-out meal was
offered by Burke’s, yes the folks
who gave us the tent and enjoyed by
all. It was great to see the chatting
and mingling around the tables.
Hopefully thoughts were planted to
improve how businesses offered
product so that we will stay at home
and support.
The Habitat for Humanity walk is
on Saturday, this is an easy way to
support this worldwide charity, by
giving money to your favourite
walker or getting a little exercise on
your own, it’s win/win. Support is
always appreciated. Call me, I’d be
pleased to add you to my sponsor
list for a price.
Say a wee prayer for Ruth Sauve
Schade as she copes with a major
fracture.
Oh my September is gone, hope
yours was a good one.
Bye now, Betty G.W.

A NOTE FROM BETTY
By Jo-Ann McDonald
It was a busy week at the Brussels
Legion Branch. The Branch was the
venue for the funeral luncheon
following the funeral for Carmie
Newman. Our sympathies are
extended to her husband and family,
Ryan, Corey and Rachel and their
families.
Comrades Rick and Jo-Ann
McDonald, Sandra Josling and Deb
Caan put together a very nice float
for the parade. Comrade Gord
Jacklin pulled the float in the parade.
Thanks to Comrades Ross Bennett
and Forrest Whittard and to Cadets
Struthers, Walsh and Johnston for
riding on the float.
The annual trip to Parkwood
Hospital in London was on
Saturday. It was Zone C’s turn to
entertain the residents. A bus picked
up Comrades from many of the
Branches in our Zone for the trip to
London. Comrade Mabel Glanville
and Sharon Robbins went on the bus
for the day. Comrade
Mabel shopped for the items for the
dozen goody bags provided to
residents. They returned after having
a very nice day with the
residents and enjoyed the
entertainment provided by various
Comrades from some of the other
Branches.
The Branch will have the
Provincial Service Officer, Randy
Groundwater in the area Oct. 23-29.
Veterans wishing a meeting with Mr.
Groundwater, should contact the
Branch Service Officer, Comrade
Mabel Glanville to arrange a
meeting.
The invitations for the 80th
anniversary have been mostly sent
out and we encourage a prompt
response from Comrades planning
on attending.
Our get-well wishes go out to
Comrade Barb Dunbar who has
suffered a broken arm as a result of
fall. She will be in Listowel Hospital
for awhile as it is a serious break.
Our hopes for a speedy recovery to
Barb.
The Friday night suppers resume
this week with roast beef on the
menu. Meals are available from 5:50
p.m. until 6:30 p.m. and everyone is
welcome.
