Honoured
Last year's Brussels and area Citizen of *he Year, Beth Earl, right, presents the award to this
year’s recipients Alice and Lyle Brotners at a special party held in their honour following the
service at Brussels United Church on Sunday morning. In making the presentation Earl spoke
of the pair’s community involvement, but also of their devotion for each other during a marriage
that has spanned over 60 years. She said, “When I think of the characteristics of a Citizen of
the Year, I think of people who go about their daily lives doing good things for their family,
friends, church and community. And in that Lyle and Alice Brothers are truly deserving of this
award. Their friendly, humorous and caring ways bring a smile to your face and. warmth to your
heart.” (Vicky Bremnerphoto)
Once again I’m reminded why I
love Canada. Where else can the
weather keep conversations going?
Where else can blinding snow and
thick fog share four days? Where
else do you get to partake in democ-
racy twice in a month and in between
listen as our neighbours in the
U.S.A, talk about chaos. Oh I do love
this country.
The Anglican ladies report a suc
cessful bazaar on Nov.. 18 and want
ed you to know you missed the ter
rific Christmas goodies.
The following folk are quite happy
that their tickets were drawn. Marie
Blake is the pleasea owner of a
wooden reindeer with a sleigh full of
treats. Sue Gowing, the second win
ner, has a lighted porcelain house to
grace her mantel. Third prize gave
Kim Alcock a snowman she can
keep indoors. Alice Brothers has a
new porcelain doll and Yvonne
Knight won the container of cookies.
Enjoy your treasures ladies.
The Citizen of the Year Award was
presented at the Brussels United
Church on Sunday. Family and
friends showered praise and good
wishes on Lyle and Alice Brothers
for their long-term and continued
support of many community groups.
This neat couple deserve all the good
wishes for sharing their talents, their
enthusiasm, their energy and
humour with us. Enjoy it Alice and
Lyle.
The Christmas season is here. The
lights are up (not ours) the gifts are
bought (not here) and the season of
giving has begun (yes it’s here now).
Take the time and make the effort to
maintain the reason for the season as
you anticipate the concerts, hum
with the carols, enjoy the parties,
prepare for the parades and look for
ward to the 12 days of Christmas
(which start Dec. 25).
So keep the stress down and enjoy
the Advent season. The waiting for
the Baby’s birth is a time of anticipa
tion, community sharing and the giv
ing of love.
