THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 2001. At the Branch By Jo-Ann McDonald It was another busy weekend at the Brussels Legion Branch. It started with a good crowd enjoying roast beef at the Friday night supper. This week will be tomato hamburg maca- roni casserole, Saturday was very busy at the Branch with Hank and Agnes TenPas's 40th wedding anniversary being celebrated upstairs with a come and go tea. Congratulations to them. Downstairs was the regular euchre party with 10 tables at play. Bob and Dorothy Dalton had a good after- noon and five lone hands put them over the top with 80 points and first place. The second place winners were Charlie and Millie and third place went to Raymond and Lois. The lucky lone hand winners were Marjorie Smith and Ed Stewart. There were also five lucky draw winners. Euchre is every two weeks. Sunday was the singles dance and a large crowd enjoyed the music of By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-6236 887-9231 Ah the warmth of sunshine. The weather is nothing but glorious and the fields and gardens and yards seem to be in agreement. Did you get it yet? Spring is my favourite time of year. Well at least for today. The Brussels Business Group con- tinues to meet on a regular basis with Deb Seili and . Chris TenPas keeping the gang on track. These are the folk that do the background work for the yard sale, the placemats in area Student enjoys By Nicole Lowe "Eat your veg- etables. They're good for you." "It's time to do your exercises." "Would you like to go for a walk?" These are just a few of the things that I say to some of the residents where I co-op. I currently am enrolled at F. E. Madill Secondary School, where I'm in Grade 12. One of the classes that I have this semester is co-op. I've cho- sen to do my co-op at the Braemar -Retirement Centre in Wingham. While I'm at Braemar, I do a lot of different jobs. I visit and chat with the residents. I also assist the nurses at lunch time with residents who are unable to complete this task alone. I go for walks with them, and also dance with some of them. Let me tell you, some of them can still really move! The job that is the most fun for me is doing exercises with some of the residents. Whether it be stretches, or even just getting them to make a fist with their hand, that's what I'm there to help them do. The reason why i thought Braemar would be appropriate for me is that I plan to become a massage therapist. Helping older people with exercises was a key opportunity for me, not only for what I hope to do in the Ken Scott orchestra. The next dance is July 8. We are missing a singles dance and other activities upstairs because the hardwood floor is being redone. The Grade 8 graduation will be the first function held on the new floor. June 24 is Cemetery Decoration Sunday. For anyone who has a veter- an in their family who has passed on, eateries, the Santa Claus parade - Dec. 1, maintaining Homecoming Park, the gremlins are continuing to assault the gazebo. Pieces of wood and shingles have been removed leaving it a nasty sight and nearly non-functional. The folks who worked hard to make the park a pleasure to look at and sit in would like you to help. Youth are being blamed as it is a neat place to con- gregate but as usual it is only a few who are wrecking the kids' reputa- tion, so if you see or know anything about this vandalsim or other areas of trouble call the OPP or Crime Stoppers. You'll even be helping the gremlins. You'll see an ad in the paper that invites you Wednesday, June 13 to the United Church for an evening with Dr. Shepard and his crisis team. The hope is that this is a time to grow in our understanding of a sud- co-op learning future, but also to be able to interact th the residents, and to make their lives more enjoyable. A special thanks to Pam Irwin and the rest of the staff at Braemar for giving me this great opportunity. Correction Please change the following phone number in your Citizen phone directory.

Like many things we put off dealing with issues and then when a tragedy hits we are lost for direction. The Session of our church hopes that everyone who has been affected by a sudden death will feel comfortable to come and learn and share from the mental health folks. The Palliative Care folk held their annual meeting at the Mennonite Church last week, celebrating the good work they do, learning from Eugene Defore from Stratford and planning for the future. Hank and Agnes stopped cruising around town in the white van long enough for the rest of us to catch them to celebrate their 40th anniver- sary on Saturday. Lots of family, friends, food and fun made it a great time. They are just as sweet (or is it cute) four decades later. We should be so lucky. The flag at Maple Villa was flying at half mast Monday in recognition of George Ross, the security tenant, who passed away on the weekend. Get out and watch the soccer and ball games and practises — good stuff. Bye now, Betty G. W.
