By Jo-Ann McDonald The fish fry crew was off to serve up dinner for the Seaforth Agricultural Society on Friday evening. There were 150 diners who enjoyed the efforts of the crew. Helping the Brussels Legion Branch 128 this weekend was George Adams, Glenn Bridge, Lisa Glanville, Deb Cann, Chris Brown and Catrina Josling. Great job everyone. The Saturday afternoon euchre had nine tables of players. Winners were: first-place, Viola Adams and Ruth Sharpen with 75 points, second place, Mabel Willis and Helen Dobson, 74 points; third place, Lillian Appleby and Delores Howatt, 72 points; low prize, Hazel McGonigle and Helen MacKenzie, 37; lone hands, Dorothy Carter an John Subject. Euchre helpers were Marg Bennett, Helen Dobson and Nanci and Danielle Ducharme. The Sunday night dance had a good crowd in attendance to enjoy the music of the John Heaman Band. Nearly 100 people appreciated the help of regular dance staff Howard and Audrey Hackwell and Judy Lee with President John Lowe helping out for the night. There were two young men from Brussels participating in the Legion Provincial Track and Field event held in Timmins on the weekend. Tyler Smith and Adam Cousins boarded the bus in Wingham on Thursday morning and travelled part way to Timmins, had a layover and arrived in Timmins on Friday. They enjoyed meeting athletes from all over Ontario and attending an orientation meeting and dinner and the opening ceremonies on Friday evening. The events started early Saturday morning. Tyler competed in a total of eight events for the day. He finished second in high jump, long jump, shot putt and 100-metre dash, finishing slight lower in four other events. Tyler finished the day second overall in his division. Adam Cousins enjoyed the experience and finished fifth in high jump and javelin and sixth in the discus. The boys returned home on Sunday tired and having enjoyed the experience. Congratulations to the boys. What’s in a name? Several thoughts are sharing my mind this morning. We’re reviewing pictures from holidays in Newfoundland, we took grandson Andrew to the airport for his Lion’s exchange to Turkey, went to Barrie to Curt and Julie’s on the weekend and I’m thinking about Casey. So names of people and places are flying.Unless you’re an avid history buff,place names often do not reveal thedepth of the story. Unless we have the time, energyor interest, these names remain that,just a name. So hamlets like Conn,Violet Hill, Holly Ivy, Duntroon and Damascus remaining anintriguing spot as I peruse the map heading to see the grandgirl Ella. Pictures of Bonavista, Gross Morne, Come By Chance and Main Tickle still give me a smile even if I don’t know the full story. Andrew will return with names like Istanbul, Ankara and Pamukkale to ponder. Ah names and places. The summer teams are hitting their stride as working together within the rules of the games becomes routine. It’s great to hearthe cheers on a summer evening.Donations are still being happilyreceived by the Optimist Club forthe ongoing work at the new andimproved ball park. It just keepsgetting better and better, and just intime for the Brussels Tigers fastballtournament and FunFest.When we die, we leave only memories. Each person meets another in a unique and special way along their life. Depending on the time of life and depth of the relationships, the memories are much more vivid and will last a lifetime. Casey McCutcheon died last week, leaving a host of memories. Family ties, Betty and the “kids”, brothers and sisters, business connections and friendships in many locations will be the basis of themany memories that will bring asmile this week as they rememberthe Casey that connected with them.Goodbye Casey.The Blyth Festival is going fullforce with Bordertown Café and AKilling Snow, both available foryour entertainment at this time. Bothplays are well done with lots of aspects of theatre to appreciate – the props, great costumes, subtle lighting as well as the storylines are all there to appreciate. Keep up the great work! Get ready to do your part for Funfest. Bye now, Betty G.W.
