PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 2002.
Grandson nominated as Jr. Citizen
He also spends time working with
special needs children.
Meyers is bilingual to the point
that when he volunteered at the
Canada- Games in the summer, he
was able to serve as an inter-
preter.
Meyers acknowledges that it is
nice to be recognized for the work
he does.
However, he said that he finds his
volunteer activities personally
rewarding and believes he gains
as much as he gives from volunteer-
ing.
The Junior Citizen Awards will be
announced in March.
FROM BRUSSELS
Huronlea asks
people to hold
off on visits
The flu season is here again and
extra precautions are the order of the
day. The flu, while uncomfortable
and inconvenient for most of us can
be deadly for others,
Those with impaired immune sys-
tems and the very young or very old
are most at risk. This is the season to
be safe rather than sorry and special
measures are often needed to help
protect those most at risk.
Huronlea Nursing Home has asked
that people do not visit the facility
during the peak of the flu season. On
Tuesday the charge nurse said, "We
don't have any specific problem and
we are asking that people don't visit
to try to keep it that way."
She hoped that people would still
remember to visit by phone so that
residents would be able to keep in
touch with friends and relatives.
Lodge meets
Morning Star Rebekah Lodge met
on Tuesday, Jan. 22 with a very good
attendance.
Sister Lorraine Edwards has
returned home after being hospital-
ized.
A report was given from the
Humanitarian Services Committee.
Wheelchairs, walkers, crutches and
commodes are available for loan to
anyone requiring them. Invitations
were received from Exeter to attend
their Poor Boy's Luncheon and a
noon casserole card party at Clinton.
An invitation is to be extended to
Clinton Lodge when District Deputy
President Sister Joyce Chilton makes
her official visit.
Plans were finalized for the casse-
role card party on Monday, Feb. 18 at
6:30 p.m. Cost is $6 per person.
Honoured
Curtis Meyers of Clinton, a

Langlois has been nominated
as a Junior Citizen of the Year.

ours, sponsored by the Ontario

Assocation will be named, in
March. (Photo submitted)
Good news from the music set this
week — a phone call from Marg Kai
let me know that two of her pupils
did very well in their last music
exams. Crystal McLellan obtained
first class honours in Grade 3
Harmony and Keshia Bishop
obtained a mark of 96 in her Grade 2
Rudiments.
Both these ladies are in the Royal
Conservatory of Music program and
obviously showing effort and talent.
Good work Crystal and Keshia. And
you too Marg.
January is passing away quickly.
Several reports have been heard of
people using their time bowling,
including the United Church Youth
Group who seem to have the enthu-
siasm to try most anything.
Thanks to the council and staff
from Huron East. The fellas you
gave us for snow removal have done
a great job. Thanks Rick and Ken.
Goodbye Kang. Thanks for 24
years of service to our community.
Curtis Meyers, the grandson of
George and Pat Lannis of Brussels,
got the surprise of Its life recently
when he was informed that he had
been nominated for a Junior Citizen
of the Year award.
His mother had kept the nomina-
tion a secret until he was presented
with his nomination certificate
recently.
For the past 20 years the award
has been presented annually, to
youths between six and 18, by the
Ontario Community Newspaper
Association. This year there were a
record 185 nominations.
His name had originally been put
forward by his grandmother. But
several other support letters detailed
his accomplishments.
Past National Kinsmen President
Neville Greely noted that Meyer
won the Citizenship Award for the
Municipality of Central Huron and
the Clinton and area Volunteer of the
Year Award.
RCMP officer Doug Anthony, of
Ottawa, who has known Meyers
since 1995 said in his letter of sup-
port, "Curtis is well known in his
community both by his peers and the
adults for his contributions to serv-
You've weathered many storms with
us and we thank you for your com-
munity commitment. Thanks for the
ongoing service with the toll-free
numbers. Maybe we'll see you in
Waterloo.
We spent the weekend in Toronto
with son Curt. He's at High Park on
Bloor Street. Early in the 1900s a
Mr. Howard left nearly 400 acres of
land to the city with several stipula-
tions for future use. Good man. We
walked and watched folks skating
outdoors beside their summer pool
while Tai Chi was being done and
dogs were walked and children ran
about. The people of this decade
have outdone themselves as well and
constructed a play structure that
makes even children stop and stare —
it's a castle with bridges and ropes
and slides. Children's drawings have
been made part of the permanent
walls and sponsors' names are in the
wooden fences. Pretty neat place to
spend some time.
Welcome February. It's Heart
Month.
Bye now, Betty G. W.
ice and volunteerism."
Dave Hanky, a family friend
described Meyers as, "someone who
not only jumps in to help when
asked, but many times doesn't wait
to be asked."
He went on to list Meyers' many
sporting achievements and trophies
saying, "he constantly and consis-
tently reaches for the top, while set-
ting strong ideals for others to fol-
low."
Meyers is a trainer and coach for
minor hockey as well as a player. He
can be found refereeing a variety of
sports dt school and in the communi-
ty.
