A Note from Betty
Well the wee white flakes are still out and about. In fact on Sunday the
folks in Elmira through to Hamilton had lots of the flakes while we enjoyed
cool sunshine.
Justin Ruttan did his piano teacher Margaret Kai proud when he received
his marks for his Grade 2 Rudiments with 83 per cent, 1st Class Honours.
Good work Justin.
Aren't you glad you’re home this week. It’s spring break and all the sunny
spots will be busy, busy. Perhaps it’s jealousy. I don’t think so especially
after I heard that 55,000 people would be passing through Pearson
International Airport last Friday. More than four folk at Oldfield's counter
makes me feel crowded.
Have you heard of the game of Pitt? It's one of the really old card games
that gives both the players and the observers a good time. Players at the
United Church Saturday sounded like a Chinese Auction when really they
were trading oats and barley. For sweet church people they certainly play
with aggression.
The 5R's gang asked me to remind you and all you know that while they
appreciate your donations their bag tag bill is increasing. The donations are
for sale or recycle so in either case the quality needs to be good or it ends up
in the garbage making their expenses increase. So take that extra minute and
make sure it’s a good donation. Call 887-9072 for pickup. Catch up with
your young free friends this week. Check the papers, there are lots of
activities available and so something fun with them.
The boys from Perish had a fun week opening Thursday night in London
for the California punk band The Ataris and Beefcake from New York. The
show was repeated Friday night at The Livery in Goderich and attended by
many local punk lovers.
Bye now,
Betty G.

The March meeting of the
Majestic Women’s Institute was
held in the library on Wednesday,
March 8 with a good attendance.
President Peggy Keffer opened the
meeting with a poem, and the Ode
and Mary Stewart Collect was
repeated in unison.
David Blaney of Brussels was the
guest speaker. He spoke on
antiques, commenting on the
different styles and types of
construction. Oak is very popular in
the mid-west. Different woods
were used in different periods.
Valuation causes a lol of
disagreement.

The Cancer Society committee

Happy Birthday was sung to
Lucy Hesse, Pat Button and Chen
Fransen.

Workouts suit every schedule

It may hurt but the older we get
the more vital it is to keep moving.
And with 50 per cent of the Brus
sels population between the ages of
45 and 90, providing an opportuni
ty for regular aerobic activity made
sense to one local businessperson.
“The reality is that everyone
thinks exercise is for the young, but
it’s really not. As we get older it’s
even more important,” said Jim
Lee.
The sessions, which are held at
Lee’s 72 Mill St. building, have
been designed to cover a range of
levels and needs. “There is one that
specializes in range of motion and
balance, another on cardiovascular.
None of the sessions are high
impact,” he said, but promises that
in three-quarters of an hour “you'll
have done more activity than many
