HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2010-02-11, Page 2February is such a neat month – all
tucked into 28 days with weather
that is so variable that at some point
everyone is pleased at least once.
And so we move on.
This is birthday time in our circle,
a very nice way to break up the
winter. Joan Jacobs quietly added a
year to her life last week while Ken
Graber and Jack Cardiff are getting
older next week.
My brother Clif in Edmonton has
shared my birthday, Feb. 14 for yearsnow. As the years go by we havemore time to appreciate life itself.Birthdays are a good time to take amoment to review what life hasoffered and just how we’ve spent theyears gone by. While the candles aremelting, that’s a great time to bethankful for all the friends andfamily who are the ones who really
make this life so great.
The Parkwood staff in London is
still humming. Music was made on
fifth floor for everyone’s enjoyment.
It was a beautiful sunny day for the
United Church choir to make a road
trip to check on the vocal chords of
one of its members. Edna Pearson is
missing from the choir, so 12 folks
headed south to let her know she was
missed and to see if she could still
sing. She can.
Everyone enjoyed the time
together, especially the other
patients in Parkwood who were quiteimpressed that our folks would drivethere just to sing for them.The Jutzi family are thrilled thatTyler is safe and sound in Milan,Italy. He flew there last Saturday asan exchange student in the WilfridLaurier business program.Tyler will attend Universita CarloCattaneo until June to complete his
last semester in Business, the only
Waterloo student there.
What an honour and what an
experience. Way go to Tyler!
Winter is a good time to learn new
things – be it knitting, card games or
cooking. Time is available, extra
jobs are limited and a mental boost is
a good thing.
The Culture Club reports that Jim
Armstrong is the authority on
chicken wings and I’m sure he
would be more than pleased to giveyou tips whenever you feel a needfor wings.Take care of yourself.Bye now, Betty G.W.PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2010.

But in a memo from Gary Long,
chief administrative officer for
North Huron, council heard that
that municipality’s lawyer feels
that it is in North Huron’s dis-
cretion whether it wants to
extend service beyond its boundaries
and that if other municipalities use
those services, they would, by
implication be accepting the price
schedule for services offered by
North Huron.
“The problem is that North
Huron has said many times that it
would continue to provide fire
coverage despite the end of the
agreement,” noted councillor Mark
Beaven.
The dispute has prevented the
division of the assets of the Blyth
fire department.
Meanwhile Michie explained that
the Blyth department was in a deficit
of more than $26,000 at the end of
2009 and there wasn’t enough
money to pay the honorariums of the
firefighters.
Council immediately approved a
motion to pay its 20 per cent share of
the deficit.
Council did receive a cheque or
$91,825 for its share of the
Wingham fire station.
Council also received a letter from
Howick Twp. complaining about
$21,046 departure fee levied against
the Wingham board by the
Workplace Safety and Insurance
Board. The letter argued that the
departments are really being
reorganized.

Folks at the Brussels Legion are
starting February slowly with just a
few activities at the Branch this
week.
The Cadets met Tuesday evening,
the pipe band practised Thursday
evening and the dart league played
as usual. There was a great bunch on
hand to enjoy the evening.
The first-place team was Catrina
Josling, Penny Reynolds and Gord
Jacklin. In second were Deb Cann
and John Harrison. The high shot
was by Gord with 112 and the high
start was by Deb with 75. The
honours for second skunk of the
season goes to Roger McHardy, Deb
Burch and Sharon Robbins.
Darts are every Thursday night at
8 p.m. All are welcome.
The Friday night supper of pork
chops was enjoyed by over 50
hungry diners. This week will be
roast beef.
There were 11 tables of euchre
players on hand Saturday. The first-
place team was Rita and Verna with
73 points. Stuart and Lois Chamney
placed second with 71 points and
third place went to Glen and Eileen
Sellers with 69 points. The low prize
of the day went to Willis and Betty
with only 46 points. The lone hand
prizes went to Kathy Driscoll for the
ladies and Glen Zehr for the men.
Euchre is every two weeks at 1
p.m.
The Branch welcomes Emily
Warwick as part-time bartender. We
wish Jacqui DeLauria all the best in
her move and her future endeavours.
Don’t forget the wings, fries and
meat draws this weekend. Looking
ahead there is a fundraising
spaghetti dinner for Haiti next
Wednesday by Brussels Public
School Kid’s Care group.
