PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2002. FROM BRUSSELS By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-6236 887-9231 I hope you had a good weekend of giving thanks for the good folks in your life as well as the many blessings we so often take for granted. Gathering at the table with the loves in your life, enjoying the bounty of our land is a true privilege. Yes we have much to give thanks for. It was good to see the many visitors about town, home for recreation and visits. The first major visit from the college and university crowd as they make their way all on their own is always welcome and fun to witness. What a good surprise! Sean Conaboy was in town last week for a quick passthrough to check on the aunties of the Raymond clan. Good memories of a childhood on Tory Hill made my day when he dropped in for a quick hello. Winnie and I had many good laughs as we tried to raise two wee boys who were more interested in wheels and vehicles than the high ideals of their mothers. In that one short visit my mind returned to the days of Derek at the Thompson and Darts start Thursday Stephenson Butcher Shop, Jack and Esther's girls as very young ladies, the "new" Senior Apartments, orange plastic tractors and the fun of young families. Thanks Sean. Your mom would be so proud of you and your life in Cochrane. Work has started on demolishing the former clerk's office. The guards and fences are up and the boards have been applied. Now on to the dramatic stuff. It was a neat building in its day and it too holds some very good stories. Just what really did happen in the dog house? The business association have a deal for you. If you belong to a group that needs free advertising or you have a cause that needs promotion — you have the opportunity to use the empty store fronts to showcase your news. This good idea helps the store owners show their real estate; it will make a stroll o.i Main Street quite educational and it will help promote the many groups and ideals in our midst. So get your display ideas together and call 887-9340 to reserve your spot. Take care this week and keep the mood of Thanksgiving. Bye now, Betty G. W. By Jo-Ann McDonald Darts begin Thursday evening at 8 p.m. Friday night's supper of Salisbury steak was enjoyed by all. This week is roast pork. The Saturday afternoon euchre had 10 tables at play. The first place winners were Hazel Reid and Delores Howatt with 78 points. Second place was Helen Casemore and Jean Deans with 73 points. The third place team was Viola Kirkby and Doris McCall. Lone hand winners were Stuart Chamney and Kay McCormick. Saturday evening the upstairs auditorium was the location for the celebration of the wedding of Nancy Bos and Jack Perrin. Guests arrived by bus from Sturgeon Falls. The Sunday evening singles dance had a good crowd enjoying the music of Country Motion. We could still use a person on the euchre committee to help one Saturday afternoon a month. Call Marg Bennett if you could be that person.
