Ceremony Neil Hemingway was one of the featured speakers at Sunday’s blessing of the house in Brussels. The ceremony was held at a ribbon-cutting and blessing of the Habitat for Humanity house on Sports Drive. (Vicky Bremner photo) Will someone please tell the wee flies that it’s time to go. Even while eating breakfast the little buzzers seem to find a surface in my full view to land on. Breakfast is way too early to get irritated. Summer was nearly over before I realized there had been an invasion of the wee pests. Now any food or remnant is the landing strip on my counter. So for that reason alone, I’m quite happy to see winter coming. The wee ghosties and goblins and those who love black and orange had their day of fun for another year. Now it’s time to tuck the decorations away and get the Christmas things in line, not out yet please. Sports Drive remains a busy spot with lots of building happening. A celebration of community was held at the Habitat for Humanity House on Sunday afternoon. This is house number seven for Huron County. The gathering was partly to bless the house and partly to give thanks to all the people who worked so well together as volunteers for this common cause. A lot of knowledge was shared at this site, licensed people working alongside others to complete specific jobs. People working side by side and sharing time and stories as they volunteered their time. Everyone learning that the family who will live here has worked hard, met very specific criteria and will help forward the cause of Habitat for Humanity. In every large project each person’s role is important and every bit of work and time is appreciated, but there needs to be a “boss” who has signed on to take the good with the bad. So well done NeilHemingway with Donna at yourback, for selecting such a dreamteam as yours. I’ll be sure to misssome of the named main men of the many committees, so I’ll not start. Thank you, thank you so very much. Once again good folks have made Brussels and area shine by working so well with a world-wide organization: Habitat for Humanity. Polish up your dancing shoes for Saturday, Nov. 5. Wilbee’s Orchestra will be playing for your enjoyment at the BM&G Community Centre from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. Enjoy! A twinkling eye has closed. Fran Bremner died last week. Not many in our spot in the world haven’t met a Bremner and Fran did the name proud. We all relate to one of her “kids” and so got to know the team of Bill and Fran along the way. As a twin to Nora, they had a special sibling relationship envied by many. Words like pleasant, fun, capable, mischievous, sports, especially baseball, laughs, parties, work, imaginative are but a few of the words that come to mind as I think about Fran and her family. She wasan earth angel and leaves manysmiles with her memory. FarewellFrances Bremner.Get out and kick some leaves, they’ll soon be all gone. Bye now, Betty G.W.

The Lions Club held its supper meeting at the Branch and enjoyed a delicious roast beef dinner on Oct. 24. Branch helpers included Mary Bradshaw, Judy Lee and Jo-Ann McDonald. Tuesday evening was the Executive and General meeting of the Branch. There were nine executive members present. Special guest was Jacquie Gowing, reviewing the past year’s financial statements and making a few recommendations. Committee reports were heard from senior chairman Wanda Walker. She reported attending a seniors meeting in Clinton accompanied by Comrade Mabel Glanville. She also had a visit with Comrade Barb Dunbar at Listowel Hospital. Veteran’s Service Officer Mabel Glanville reports that no one needed to see the Provincial Officer Randy Groundwater this time. She reported that the Branch assisted 14 Comrades to attend the Veterans banquet in Lucknow. The Nevada Chairman Andy Overholt reports a healthy balance in the Nevada account. The sports report concerned the start of Zone events begin with cribbage on Nov. 12. Drop into the Branch to sign up if interested in playing crib. The PeeWee hockey team will be attending the Zone PeeWee hockey tournament in Lucknow and the Branch will pay the entry. The Branch also made a motion to support one PeeWee hockey team to attend the Young Canada Tournament in Goderich. The funds will come from the Nevada account. The House committee reported that the plumbing problems have been sorted out at the Branch. He also suggested it was time to replace some of the hand sinks in the Branch. The light fixture was repaired and it has been suggested that some time in the future, more energy efficient lights be installed upstairs. The Branch approved donations to Clinton, Wingham, Seaforth and Listowel Hospitals. They approved a donation to the Spina Bifida Society and for the Brussels Santa Claus parade. The 140th Homecoming Committee met at the Branch on Wednesday evening. There were 20 folks in attendance and there were some great exchange of ideas.
