Lifelong resident
marks milestone
What if
one day
next week
you
couldn't op eak?
Or maybe you couldn't walk.
Or your vision was blurred.
That's what it's like to live
with multiple sclerosis.
But with your help, we can
connect with a cure.

It was a rare occasion for Brus-
selites as they gathered at St. John's
Anglican Church, June 16. They
helped celebrate the 100th birthday
of life-long resident Jessie Engel.
Mrs. Engel was born in the same
house where she lives today, spend-
ing all her married years to Archie
Engel in that home.
The daughter of Henry Alcock
and Margaret (Craig), Mrs. Engel
was educated in local schools then
assisted Mr. Engel on the farm after
they wed on Aug. 25, 1938.
Always active in the women's
Institute and ACW, Mrs. Engel just
smiles when asked the secret to
long life. She just always tried to
live a good life, she says. Still smil-
ing, she says she has had her ups
and downs, but everyone has a few
of those.
As well as gathering with friends,
family and neighbours, Mrs. Engel
received greetings from Queen
Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Jean
Chretein, Premier Mike Harris,
Huron-Bruce MP Paul Steckle and
Governor General of Canada, Ray
Hnatyshyn.

Aggressive drivers a concern
Continued from page 1
insurance industry starts to help
accident victims get their lives back
together again.
.The insurance industry spends an
estimated $4.2 billion settling
automobile claims in Ontario each
year. But, all the money in the
world can't erase the emotional
pain and personal losses from
collisions. So, we all have to work
together to stop aggressive driving
through enhancing enforcement of
the Highway Traffic laws, tougher
regulations to improve driver
behaviour, initiatives to prevent
drinking and driving, and efforts to
improve safety in the trucking
industry.
Most importantly, the message to
all people across Ontario is that
aggressive driving is a major road
safety problem, not only in large
cities, but all across the province. If
people simply slow down, drive
with care and respect the traffic
laws, we really can reduce
collisions.
Police need community support
in its effort to remind all Ontario
motorists that aggressive. driving
will "slop them dead".
