PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2008.
Contrary to a report in the March
13 issue of The Citizen, Huron East
council moved to table a motion that
would accept the quotation from
Somers Electric to install a fan and
limit switch in the Brussels Fire Hall
at a cost of $2,734.93 to the
municipality.
Council tabled the motion until
further quotations are obtained.
The Citizen apologizes for any
confusion this may have caused.
Hallelujah the time of Easter is
here! No matter the weather, Easter
brings the spring back to your step.
Even with the temperature below
zero and Eater so early, it still brings
joy. Even the snow didn’t seem so
bad with Easter weekend in full
bloom.
Area churches celebrated the high
point of the Christian year on
Sunday. Symbols of Easter
decorated the space and music filled
the rooms. This is the time to
celebrate. Easter Sunday is the time
to let the world know that in the
sadness of life, we are not alone and
a loving Presence, many of us call
God will guide us.
The flowers, the butterflies, the
eggs are all real things that remind us
that even though something appears
dead and gone, with time and faith
and patience, new life bursts forth.
Hallelujah Easter is here.
With celebrations at the ready and
a long weekend to spend, many
visitors were in Brussels to join with
family and friends for a time of
renewal, celebration and of course
good food.
Each family has their own
traditions and some foods are just
part of the celebration in that house.
So I hope you had a chance to join
with others to celebrate the hint that
spring may be coming.
The Gowing clan decided that
March 8 was their time to celebrate
this year, because so many of them
just wouldn’t be here, if Mother
Betty hadn’t been born. The
offspring – Thelma, Rosemary,
Dave, Neil, Nancy, Ken and Paul are
scattered throughout Ontario as well
as Grand Village, Nova Scotia so it
takes a little preparation to gather
together. Nasty weather didn’t stop
the party that started on Saturday
and didn’t wind down until Monday,
as neighbours old and recent joinedthe celebration of 85 birthdays.Poppa Carl was looking down fromheaven shaking his head admiringthe good kids he and Betty gave theworld.March 22 was water day – if youdidn’t stop and think about the wateryou take for granted on Saturday, doit now. We are blessed in Canada to
have clean water. Our governments
sees it as a priority to insure safe
water comes from our taps. Many
nations are not so fortunate.
Our reality now, is that we have
one world and all the water comes
from the same sources. Plastic
bottles leaching in a landfill,
chemicals and hormones we use will
get to the water table. We share the
water and all the good and bad that’s
in it. We need to cherish this
precious commodity and pass only
good water on to our descendants.
Enjoy the sunshine, it’s melting
the snow very nicely.
Betty G.W.
