Judges make choice
for best decorated
The waiting continues - the
anticipation of Christmas is in the
air. The Brussels Public School
concert was last week and as usual
the children did a line job with the
level of hope and joy in the gym
almost measurable. It was good to
hear the band and see the level of
musical competence rising.
Once again I was reminded of
what a caring community we have as
I watched the children with the
instruments and remembered the
drive for the initial purchase nearly
15 years ago. What a good
investment that was and what
pleasure and talent it has produced.
Wade Philip Machan was
welcomed into the United Church
family on Sunday looking pretty
sharp in his shiny white suit. His
attentive manner during the
sacrament made parents Paul and
Janice relax and grandparents Doug
and Florence, Ivan and Bonnie,
uncles and cousins quite proud to
call him their own.

The week at the Brussels Legion
Branch has been busy. Both Branch
and Auxiliary members gathered at
the funeral home on Tuesday
evening for the Legion Service of
Remembrance for Comrade Doreen
Rutledge. The funeral was held
Wednesday afternoon and the
luncheon was served by the
Auxiliary ladies at the Legion
Branch following.
Staying on for a visit around the
Brussels and Mitchell area are
Doreen's sister, Adamae and
daughter Alana.
The Thursday evening mixed
blind darts had a good bunch take
aim. The first place pair was John
Harrison and Sandra Josling.
The Gropps had a houseful this
weekend to celebrate the birthdays
of Joshua, Dec. 12; Mitchell, Dec.
16: Nic, Dec. 17.
Visiting is an important part of this
season and many of the church and
community groups add a little joy by
taking goodies or flowers as a visible
token of the visit. These visits
indicate to the person that they are
still in the minds and thoughts of the
group. By sharing gifts and time we
are reminded of the reason for the
season. The anticipation of the
celebration of the birth of the baby
Jesus and the need to hope, love, live
in peace and joy continues.
Traditions are a way of
maintaining continuity in our lives
and we all have them whether ages
old or newly started. Stockings hung,
turnip with turkey, ornaments with
good memories, fruit cocktail with
Christmas brunch the list goes on in
each home.
Singing carols is part of our festive
joy and the community carol night is
one tradition that has gone on for
years. So please come and join us for
an hour of just singing, nothing else,
just sing all the carols that you can
handle, the 23rd at 7:30 p.m. in
Brussels United Church,
Start a new tradition for your
family.
Lie sure to enjoy this time of year.
Don't let the hustle and bustle
overtake your better judgement.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
The judges have made their
choices.
This year Greg and Nanci
Ducharme and family are the
winners of the best decorated home
in Brussels. The judges were
impressed by the new additions to
the lawn. The home has a classic
elegance, with decorations that
brighten it during the evenings, but
also enhance it in the daytime.
The judges went off main street
this year for the best decorated
business. A welcoming entrance,
greenery. and the twinkling
reflection of lights in mirrors as seen
through the huge picture window
made Turning Heads and Making
Waves, owned by Janice Machan,
this year's selection.
