In case you missed Nora
Stephenson and Joan Beuermann out
and about, it was because they were
doing the mother and grandmother
check. They’ve just returned from atrip west, where they stopped inCalgary to spend a few days withJoan’s son Brad ‘Bump’.After seeing that he was fine theydid a tour of the city and enjoyed thesights. Moving on to Nanton theychecked in on Gary and Julie Foxand all was well there too.A memorable trip on Highway 40
took them through the Rockies and
to the highest spot of their visit at
7,230 feet. To make this even more
memorable the snow started to fall.
The next place to go was
Cochrane, to check on Vanessa and
Steven Oldfield. They are doing well
in this pretty valley town, just westof Calgary.Winnie Bell Conaboy used to callCochrane home when she and Seanlived in Alberta.The ladies from Brussels havereturned home, leaving behind thecool weather and rain and bringinghome lots of good stories andmemories of a great trip.
The Shaw tribe had a reunion on
Sunday to celebrate the people that
Pearl and Alec brought into this
world. Many bodies gathered at
Harvey and Betty’s place to enjoy
food and lots of stories. And Pearl
just smiles about the whole thing.
Lunch was light or not necessaryon Sunday for a lot of people, afterthey had the firefighters’breakfast inEthel. It was a beautiful day to enjoygood food in support of community.Everybody wins.Grandma and Grandpa Chester,Don and Dale, were just a little extraproud on Sunday when Xander wasbaptized into the United Church. Of
course he was extremely well
behaved despite the extra attention
required on such a special day.
Daughter Melodee with husband
Teit Agger were relieved when the
momentous occasion was over as
was Sandra Cable having got
through another first in the learnings
of being a minister. Welcome
Xander.
The red and white is spreading and
it looks pretty fine.

Congratulations to Brussels area
athletes who participated in the
Legion District track and field meet
in Kitchener last weekend. Ami
Schimanski placed first in the discus
event and third in the shot-put event.
Darby Alcorn placed second in the
javelin, shot-put and discuss events.
Andrew Lindsay placed sixth in a
running event.
Ami and Darby advance to
provincial competition in Ottawa in
July.
Our hopes for a speedy recovery
go out to Comrade Dianne Huether
who has undergone knee surgery.
The Legion fish fry crew has been
busy these past weeks. Last
weekend, Rick and Jo-Ann
McDonald and LeeAnn Konarski
were off to Mitchell for a small fry,
on Friday evening. A larger crew
including Sharon Robbins, Lloyd
Glanville, Scott MacDonald, Greg
Wilson, Bob Bridge, Rick and Jo-
Ann McDonald and Eric Ross
worked the fry for the Blyth youth
park for nearly 275 supporters.
Saturday, the Branch held its own fry
with Sandra Josling, Glenn Bridge,
George Adams, Lisa Glanville, Deb
Cann and Sharon Robbins getting
the job done for the 150 diners.
The kitchen crew of Judy Lee,
Mable Glanville and Jo-Ann
McDonald did the inside work.
Helen Dobson did a fantastic job of
the pie department as usual.
Comrades Eric Ross and Deb
Trollope were to Paisley on Saturday
for the open house greeting of new
District Commander Brian Smith
and relayed the Branch’s congrats to
him.
The elimination draw tickets for
Sept. 22 are at the Branch, so
Comrades are asked to drop in and
pick up a book to sell.
The Homecoming celebration is
drawing near and volunteers are
needed for the food booth at the ball
park. Schedule your time early and
make your plans for homecoming.
The Friday night supper of
sausage and sauerkraut was poorly
attended. This week is roast beef.
Pizza party is the menu for July.

Make your family part of history
In the July 26 issue, prior to the homecoming celebrations from

commemorative edition with an extra 1,000 copies. Included will

history). Or by purchasing a one-quarter page, for $100 or one-
half page for $200, you can give a more complete history.
Just bring in your family story and photograph(s). We’ll quickly
scan your precious photos and return them to you.
Tell your family’s history as part of
The Citizen’s salute to Brussels’ 135
th anniversary.
Deadline for submission is Friday, July 13.
(These rates apply to family histories only.)

A zoning change to allow McCall
Farms to operate a stocker cattle
receiving and shipping yard on a
farm on County Rd. 12 (Brussels
Line) north of Brussels was
approved by Morris-Turnberry
council at its June 19 meeting.
There were no objections
expressed to the change by
neighbours, though the Huron
County Highways department did
remind the applicant that approval is
needed for highway entrances.
A spokesman for McCall Farms
pointed out this will be a clean
operation with animals being kept
only on a short-term basis. Still, he
said, the barn meets all the
minimum distance requirements as
if it were in full-time use.
Councillors also approved a
zoning change for a lot in
Junctionville from agricultural
small holding to village residential.
