Local artist featured at Toronto art festivalI know you can never please afarmer, but I think everyone willagree, it can stop raining for a while,I think we have had enough for now.Downpours every other day havesoaked the ground and it is verytough to get spraying or hay done.
Even getting the lawn cut between
downpours has become a challenge
for the working man. Things are
sure growing – crops, gardens and
grass!
We welcome Patty Banks and Jim
Cook who are almost moved into
their new home in Walton. They
have purchased the former Coutts
home and between redecorating and
working, they are almost moved in.
The deer population is out and
about and for a couple of local folks
were a little too close. Both Patty
Banks and John Lowe had the
unfortunate event of a collision with
deer and one vehicle lost
completely, while the other is under
repair. I have heard from others that
they have seen many crossing the
roads, and during anytime of the
day, so keep aware and on the
lookout for moving deer.
Howard and Alice Martin have
had the pleasure and joy of havingtheir two children home forextended vacation. Gary and wifeKim, and sons Simon and Avry arehere from Eagle River, and Wendy ishome from teaching in Laos,Thailand for two months. Gary and
family should have returned home
by now, but because Gary suffered a
ruptured appendix, while in Virginia
visiting his wife’s family, they had to
extend their stay. They returned to
Ontario for Gary to recover and to
visit with Howard and Alice for a
second time and will soon be gone.
Wendy has taken the time to travel
and visit with friends in Alberta and
other places and her time is also
growing short before her return to
Thailand. It is always wonderful to
have family home, even if it seems
that everything is upside down.
Get-well wishes go to Gerry Ryan
who underwent some eye surgery.
He will soon be seeing things quite
clearly, again.
Heading to Toronto, now that the
G20 is over, there is always plenty of
things to see and do. Brussels’ own
artist, Janet Cardiff and husband
George Bures Miller, have a new art
installation in place at TrinityBellwoods Park. The piece, is anauthentic Chinese junk, filled withsound and stuff, called ShipO’Fools, is part of the visual artprogram at the Luminato Festival.Placed in the southern corner of the
park, near Queen Street West and
Strachan Avenue, the junk features a
cacophony of noisemakers and
mysterious devices, all in wildly
perpetual motion in the semi-dark.
Janet also has a permanent
installation at the Oakville Galleries.
It is an audio walk with headphones
on, you are guided by the artist
through the grounds. It describes
places and events you are forced to
imagine, a sometimes chilling
experience, described as like
walking with a ghost. Janet is the
daughter of Jack ad Audrey Cardiff.

Ruth Sauve-Schade
celebrates 90th birthday
Ruth Sauve-Schade celebrated her
90th birthday on June 25 at her
home in Brussels.
Born in Salmon Arm, British
Columbia to William and Eunice
Gaskell, she attended Salmon Arm
Public School until she was 11 years
old, and moved to Owen Sound
where she lived with her
grandparents and went to Owen
Sound Public School.
Ruth went to high school at Owen
Sound High and The High School of
Commerce in Ottawa, which was a
trial high school where teachers
wrote their own books and made the
curriculum.
In 1975 Ruth graduated from
Fanshawe College with a diploma in
Municipal Administration.
Ruth was married to Clayton
Suave in 1941 until he passed away
in 1997. She then married to Neil
Schade in 2001.
Ruth has four children; Glen
Edward Suave, Win Dale Suave,
Sandra E. Geisbrecht and Beth A.
Crawford.
Ruth worked in several different
occupations, crossing the line
between church and state.
She started as a Secretary for the
Treasury Office for the Minister of
Agriculture and Labour, but had to
leave the position due to her
marriage. At the time, employees of
the government had to remain
single.
Ruth then went on to become a
secretary for the Sudbury United
Church, before moving to Brussels
to be Assistant Clerk Treasurer. She
later became Clerk Treasurer and
retired in 1986.
After retirement, Ruth became the
secretary for Brussels United
Church, and began teaching the
Municipal Administration Course
for Conestoga College out of
Brussels Public School in 1997.
Some clerks and treasurers in the
area were taught through the
program.
In her spare time, Ruth reads,
knits, quilts and is a member of the
United Church Women’s group, the
Women’s Institute, and Home and
Country Diners.
On her birthday, Ruth’s home
served as a “Come and Go” party,
and the celebration continued at the
Brussels Legion on Saturday
evening with supper. More than 90
guests showed to wish Ruth a happy
birthday.
The party was highlighted by
hand-made letter openers, crafted by
Ruth’s son Dale, as gifts for the
party-goers, a video made by Ruth’s
great grandson, music, wine, and a
huge fireworks display to top off the
evening.
