The construction at the Brussels

looking very nice.

A NOTE FROM BETTY

Whenever someone from the city
wonders what we do in quiet wee
places like Brussels, we need to
forward them a schedule of all the
coming events. Each of us has our
causes, our friends and our favourite
charities to support and so your
choices this week were many.
Dinner in support of the Maitland
Valley Foundation, trivia night with
the ball team, celebrating with the
Jutzi and Snell families for their
upcoming wedding or eating out
with the Presbyterian folk. So really
there was no need to be bored or
hungry this past week.
Besides those, you could do the
usual things available dinner with
Cinnamon Jim, cards at the Legion,
darts at the Jam Jar or watching the
ball/soccer teams get their team
mentality together. If that's not
enough I'm sure there are
sticks/garbage to pick up in many
places.
April is a busy month - income tax
time, Earth Day, Volunteer Week to
name but a few of the things to think
about in these last few days of April.
The warming days have a good feel
to them as we watch in fascination at
the size and speed of the farm
equipment all ready to make our
food. Oh yes, April is a lovely month.
We're sad this week about the
tragedy of Lena Sieger. Any sudden
death gives everyone a moment to
pause and think about the life that is
ours. So as life as we know it goes
on, Lena's family is left with grief
and questions and profound thoughts.
So as they deal with the loss of mom
and grandma, keep them in your
prayers and kind thoughts.
Spring says growth, so if you need
a wee flower, 5R's has some sweet
growth in tea cups that would be a
good gift for a small space. Check
the plants out, they're good ones.
Listening to CBC on the weekend,
I heard a man give a quote that
seems so appropriate for this time
and this place. "It is better to be in
right relations than to be right". That
got me thinking about conflicts
whether it be family, church, arenas,
minorities or our First Nations
people. First we need to listen to the
story from the other person's point
of view, no interrupting or reasoning
allowed. Often in our haste to fix, we
jump right over that part.
The older and more talked about,
the harder it is to find a solution to
the issue. It is possible when ears
take precedence over mouths and
tempers are balanced with
understanding, common ground will
surface. If we all practise a wee bit
everyday, at least me, it may rub off
