THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 2004. By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-6236 887-9231 We're into the last stretch of the holidays. Just a very few precious summer days left to be free of school and all the stuff that goes with that schedule. Darn. Summer days are just supposed to be a time to wonder and wander the mysteries of life. Because we live in a land of privilege we have the joy of choosing what we do with our time. And so we are able to spend it in various ways, and everyone's idea of a good time is very different. For all affected that's a good thing. Families and economies would be devastated if we were all alike in how we spend our leisure. Canoeing in the quiet, tenting in the bush, travelling to see friends and family, strolling the beach, fishing from the dock, these and many other options are all valid choices to call holidays. Each one to the right person is a little bit of heaven captured. I hope you had a good one. Congratulations are extended to Jonathan Schwartzentruber as he achieved 84.5 per cent in his Grade 8 piano, giving him First Class Honours from the Conservatory of Canada. Parents John and Judy and teacher Margaret Kai are pleased that his work and effort have been duly recognized. Well done. There are some nasty little bugs on the loose. You know the ones that make you pay attention to every small tummy rumble. Beware, this kind of bug is on the move and would love to spend time with you. So just a reminder that hand washing is the most effective method of preventing the spread of many diseases so do your part and wash properly before eating and after toileting and any other time you know you should. Wash well and you may not get it. Peter Workman has been in and about Cranbrook and Brussels entertaining family and friends with adventure stories of life with the Inuit and the ways and means of living in Iqualiuit. The beauty of the landscape, the reality of the solar system, the language and customs of native people, the cost of food and distances to travel made a visit with the Workmans very entertaining and informative. See you at Christmas, Peter. Enjoy the flowers. Bye now, Betty G.W. Check out the classifieds At the Branch Top pair Jeff and Cathy Cardiff received their plaque as Brussels and Area Citizens of the Year from Leona Armstrong, right, the 1997 recipient. The presentation was made following the service at Melville Presbyterian Church this past Sunday. Many of the Cardiffs' family members were present. The award is sponsored each year by The Citizen. (Vicky Bremner photo) By Jo-Ann McDonald A correction on where to find Brussels Legion elimination draw tickets. They are available at the Brussels Variety or the Branch and not at Murray's Barbershop this year. Sorry for the confusion. Branch members also have tickets. The early bird draw is Sept. 11. The Branch is enjoying a visit from Ada Karpi, Las Vegas and daughter Lana from Ohio. They have dropped in a few times and Ada is here for a month. Ada is the sister of the late Doreen Rutledge. The Friday night slipper of chicken wings was enjoyed by close to 40 people. This week is Octoberfest sausage. The next week is the Labour Day weekend and the cooks are taking a holiday.
