Jean Ross receives
humanitarian award
A woman with Brussels ties was
the recipient of this year’s
Humanitarian Award for Seaforth’s
Citizenship Awards.
Jean Ross, daughter of the late
Clarke and Hazel Matheson, who
resided in the home which is now the
Brussels Mennonite Fellowship Hall,
said she grew up in a home where
parents were involved in the commu
nity.
Some of Ross’s contributions to her
community, where she moved from
Sarnia 12 years ago, include numer
ous roles at her church, canvassing
for the cancer society, chairing the
seniors committee at the local Legion
branch and packing lunch boxes daily
at the 1999 IPM.
In an interview with The Huron
Expositor Ross was humble about the
recongition. “People say I’m so busy
and maybe I am to their standards.
Somtimes I have to be selfish and
stay home and do the lawn and
housework. But, getting involved
isn’t very hard. It doesn't have to be
anything big. Just walk up to some
one and say, ‘Hi.’ It isn’t a job if you
feel like doing it.”

Ah, the songs of the season. Music
is in the air as the season of Advent
unfolds setting the mood for con
certs, pageants, gatherings and pre
sentations. I hope you’ve attended
the great offerings in our community
and know when the next ones are
coming. The public school concert
tonight (Wednesday) at 7:30 p.m. is
the next one to lift your spirit.
Speaking of lifting spirits, take
time this week to talk to a Grade 8
student to find out what their class
has been doing. Mrs. Binnoto-Peal is
teaching the importance of good
deeds; of living in community, and
kindness. Instead of knocking the
kids this week celebrate their good
deeds.
The Brussels Business Group is
busy printing tickets. Each week new
ones are made for the weekly basket
draw. Santa Claus got an extra Ho
Ho on Dec. 2 when he made it possi
ble for Deb Cloakey, Emiline
Johnston, Beryl Smith and Chris
Terpstra to take home a goody bas
ket. Winning shoppers at the Dec. 9
draw were Barb Albert, Donna
Marks, Marie McIntosh and Don
Ruttan.
Keep the Christmas spirit and sup
port our local businesses.
The giving of Christmas brings out
the best in people so enjoy the sea
son, the parties, the festivities and
the mood, as the joy of the season
envelopes each of us.
Bye now, Betty G. W.
