A Note from Betty
Another great summer week - happy folk on holidays and lots of events to
anticipate for the rest of us.
The Gowing kids had a gathering at the farm of Rosemary and Dave
Wheeler over the weekend. They were celebrating the silver wedding
anniversaries of Dave and Lynda Gowing and Nancy and Bruce Corrigan.
They started the celebrations with the Waterloo/St. Jacobs train ride
followed by a picnic there. Since this is Betty’s crew the food continued
right on to supper, brunch on Sunday and more food with stories for Sunday
afternoon.
Like all reunions the stories, spoken from selective memory, of the farm
and growing up with Carl and Betty were plentiful and full of family love.
Dave and Rosemary had 35 guests for the weekend and Betty enjoyed her
offspring from Kemptville, London, Mitchell, Merrickville, Brantford, and
of course the ones we know from Brussels and Bluevale. Memories!
While enjoying the terrific music at the Waterloo Jazz Festival on the
weekend I felt right at home when I noticed the tent we were sitting in
belonged to the Backert’s from Walton - comfy.
The folks organizing Kid’s Corner for Aug. 9 - 13 are getting worried.
They have received very few registrations. Relieve their anxiety please and
get the registrations in.
If you’ve ever been in on the set-up end of any event you know that you
need to have numbers to prepare. So do your thing and get the registrations
in for your children, your neighbours and your friends. They will have a
great time but preparation is essential. Drop the forms at the 5R's.
If you’re in need of forestry byproducts and are in the Cranbrook suburbs
take along a bag and visit the Workman folk. They’ll oblige your needs.
Bye now,
Betty G.

The regular meeting of the
Brussels Morris & Grey Board of
Recreation was held July 14.
Secretary-Treasurer Shelly Pryce
said she had sent a letter to Don
Henry of Maitland Manor Nursery,
thanking him for his proposal to
maintain the shrubs, at the
entranceway to the arena. She also
reported that the insurance for the
Huron County Men’s Fastball
Tournament will cost
approximately $168 for the two
days. This cost will be split equally
between the league and recreation
board.
The Board was told that Arena
Manager Murray McArter has
successfully completed the Legal
Awareness and Risk Management
Level-11 program.
The board discussed the idea of
At the Branch
Exec fries at Lucknow event
By JoAnn McDonald
Well, the summer is moving on
and everyone is busy. There’s not
as many functions at the Brussels
Legion Branch during the summer
but it’s open everyday so drop in.
The executive attended and
cooked the fish for the Canada Day
Lucknow Legion Fish Fry. They
had a good time and of course the
fish was delicious. Brussels Secret
Recipe for the batter has other
Branches asking it Brussels will do
fish fries for them. Anyone wanting
to help is welcome and can leave
their name with Sandra.
Euchre was held on July 10.
There were seven tables in play.
Capturing first place honours were
Neil Hatt and Edna McLellan. Tied
close behind for second place were

the Brussels Soccer League using
the arena for their booth and
washroom facilities at their
upcoming soccer tournament. It
was agreed providing the facilities
are cleaned and left in the same
condition found. This includes
sweeping the floor and putting
away all garbage.
The Middegaal Pool invoices
totalling $1,730.78 were approved
for payment. Pryce said that the
Huron County Men’s Fastball
League would like to have the pool
open for public swimming Aug. 28
from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. She had
already talked to Head Lifeguard
Heather Blake concerning this
issue. Blake did not foresee a
problem.
The Board also discussed
Harvey Edgar while the ladies lone
hand prize went to Isabel. There
were other lucky door prizes and of
course a delicious lunch. There will
be another euchre in August.
Don’t forget the Cemetery
Decoration Service that was to be
in June will be held Sunday, July
25 at 2 p.m. at the Brussels

changing the pool hours and the
possibility of keeping the pool open
for a certain length of time even if
there are only a few children
present at the time that public
swimming is supposed to begin.
The board has had a few
complaints concerning children
being sent home from public
swimming due to the fact there
aren’t enough children present.
Mary Stretton proposed the idea
of taking down the privacy fence at
the pool and putting up a chain
linked fence instead. The chain
linked fence would allow the public
to be able to see inside the pool
area better which would hopefully
help to keep the vandals out. The
board will discuss this idea at the
end of the pool season.
400m run and third in the 800m
run. Evan Horst placed third in the
high jump.
Also competing in various events
were Crystal McLellan, Jodi Sellers
and Josh Nichol.
Congratulations to all of these
competitors.
