PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 2007.
Spring is in the air. It’s more than
just a tune to hum this week.The
signs are everywhere. Bulbs are
sneaking out of the ground by
sending forth their wee green leaves
as if to check the weather. Birds are
singing joyfully at all times of the
day even when I get home from
work, they don’t seem to care that
it’s still dark and for that I’mgrateful.My old standard of springreadiness are the skunks outprowling often in the place I reallydon’t want them – the travelledportion of the road that I’m driving.Summer jobs are on the radar
screen for many of our young folks
just lately as they try to balance
money, experience, possibilities and
availability. Summer jobs are the
things that make capable adults and
the broader the experience the more
valuable over a life time.
When you look back at your
former jobs don’t you always start
with the one that you like the mostand then the least or visa versa.Wrapping pounds of butter withHarry Elliott and Cliff Brewer at theBluevale Creamery let me knowquickly that repetitive work was notmy forte while the scrubbing offloors and doing the laundry in
Seaforth hospital (yes the old one)
helped me see that people service
could be a life’s work.
So if you know of jobs for kids put
the word out. You’ll be helping our
world.
The young people of the
confirmation class from Brussels
and Ethel United Churches travelled
to Kitchener on Saturday to see howthe Jewish tradition handles lifethere. A bit of history, a littletradition, some reality and lots ofthoughts and discussion helped themsee that we all believe in onesupreme being no matter the nameor day. Thanks Sandra for dealing
with the details.
Kathy Workman must be feeling
her age. She left town for her
birthday. It might have an influence
that son Peter was in Montreal for a
seminar dealing with his new
position in Nunavut and they went to
meet him there for a good visit.
In case you’re missing some
young folks out and about, they
heard the call to “Go West”. Trevor
Wilson, Morgan Bishop, Patricia
Wilbee and Philip Graber have all
decided to see if the west can be
won. They are in boom areas where
life as we know it is hard to find but
it is offering them experience and
events that will stay a lifetime.
Thank goodness for West Jet.
Holy Week is fast approaching.
Daily services have become part of
our tradition as the area churches
share thoughts and food in the days
approaching Good Friday and Easter
Sunday. We need to share
community as we approach this hold
time of year.
Stomp in a few puddles as you
enjoy your week on earth
Bye now, Betty G.W.

A NOTE FROM BETTY
By Jo-Ann McDonald
There has been lots going on at the
Brussels Legion Branch this past
week.
The Cadet Corps went swimming
at the North Huron Wescast complex
in Wingham, then returned to the
Branch for hot dogs.
The executive met on Tuesday
evening with nine comrades in
attendance. Reports were given as
well as there being discussion on
upcoming events.
The auction is the major
fundraiser of the spring. Comrades
are reminded that donations need to
be brought in immediately. It takes a
while to set up so the sooner the
better.
Brussels Agromart held a seed day
event at the Brussels Legion on
Thursday. Those attending were able
to learn about seed orders and
marketing crops. Guest speaker was
Maurizio Agostino. They also were
able to enjoy a breakfast brunch
served by employees of Brussels
Agromart.
The Thursday night darts had 13
take aim at the boards. The first-
place team was Heather Little,
Roger McHardy and Tim Harrison.
Coming in second were Catrina
Josling and Gord Jacklin. High shots
were by Tim shooting 140 and
Sandra Josling shooting a 135.
The Friday night supper of pork
chops was sold out. This week is
lasagna.
Congratulations to Comrade Ron
Schmidt who participated in
Provincial singles darts in Everett.
Ron finished in the top eight in
Ontario and had a great time. The
winner of the event was John Verwey
of Auburn. Great job Ron and
congrats.
