United Church to
visit Huronlea
A NOTE FROM BETTY
Kicking it off
Organizers of the Brussels Farmers' Market held a special parade to mark the moving of the
market from its previous outdoor location to the new Four Winds Barn down the street. Kathy
Stephenson, market co-ordinator, and piper Don Martin made their way down main street as
part of the opening festivities at the market's first day. (Denny Scott photo)

Another month spent. Oh where
oh where, do the days go? Now, onto
the next one and see what it has to
offer.
For the United Church folk, be
aware that there is no service in the
church this Sunday, instead we're
going to worship and visit with our
friends who live in Huronlea. So you
can stay in bed as long as you like,
just be there for a 2 p.m. service.
Mark that down now.
I just love how Mother Nature can
make the world pause. Driving on
Western Road in London on Sunday,
I noticed the traffic had paused with
no regard to the traffic lights.
Approaching the next traffic light I
was able to observe a very sedate
parade of eight adult Canada geese
Catch the Ace draw jackpot still in play

The week at the Brussels Legion
Branch began with the regular
general meeting with 10 Comrades
in attendance. The usual business
was discussed and reports given.
The office has now been gutted and
is in the process of being insulated
and drywalled. It was questioned
about when the upstairs renovations
would begin and the answer was,
hopefully in June. Many of the
normal events will be over in May
such as the Cadets and the last Lions
Club meal for the season.
Comrades Eric Ross and Bon
Richardson played in a zone golf
competition on the weekend. They
finished seventh and will advance to
district play in July.
The Saturday afternoon euchre
had 10 tables at play on Saturday.
Winners were: high, Carol and
Susan, 71; second and third, tied,
Brussels Majestic WI
visits Bruce Power
The Majestic Women's Institute of
Brussels met at the home of Lucy
Hesse on May 10 at 8:30 a.m.
Convenors Kathy Bridge and Lucy
Hesse arranged the institute's annual
mystery tour meeting. Five members
and two guests headed northwest to
arrive at the mystery destination in
Tiverton, the Bruce Power Visitor
Centre, built in the 1980s. The
centre is open to the public and is
free.
The group arrived to friendly
greetings from the guide Chris
Mercanti. After a very informative
Power Point presentation on the
basics of nuclear energy and the
safety in place for staff, they were
able to look around at the
information centre's interactive
displays.
Chris arranged a shuttle for them
to tour the actual plant. They had to
show identification at the gate while
the shuttle was checked by security.
The plant was built in the 1960s and
started to produce hydro in 1967.
After the tour, they returned to the
visitor centre and loaded back into
their vehicle and headed off to a
mystery location for lunch. They
arrived in Kincardine to enjoy a
wonderful meal of fish and chips at
the Erie Bell.
Then they went to another mystery
destination on their way home. They
stopped at Pine River Cheese in
Ripley. They were offered samples
of its many cheeses.
Then they headed back to
Brussels. Thank you to all who made
this year's annual mystery tour a
great success.

We are still looking for volunteers to
help at the euchres. Call the Branch
if interested.
The Sunday Night dance had a
very small crowd to enjoy the music
of Crippled Duck. The Barn Dance
Campout in Blyth must have tired
everyone out, but those attending
had lots of room to dance and spin.
The Catch the Ace draw was on
Friday evening and we have a two-
time winner. Mike Alexander won
for the second time winning $237
but his envelope, number 39 held the
two of clubs, so the ace lives on!
Projected jackpot this week is
$2,800.
The karaoke evening with Stubby
D had a great crowd of nearly 50
enjoying the music, fun singing and
fun time.
The fish fry crew was in Clinton at
the new arena for the first time. They
cooked for those attending the
Clinton Spring Fair Ambassador
event. Comrades Deb Ross, Norm
Dobson, Sharon Robbins and Judy
Lee were kept busy feeding the 150
attending. All positive comments
were heard.
