September marks geese, students getting ready to go
Have you noticed the Canada
geese doing their practice runs this
past week? They really are just like
us, individually scurrying around,
doing a lot of honking and finally
getting to work. Suddenly the V
formation is evident, the honking
stops and the flight progresses. We
really should observe the animal
more often, we’d save a lot of time
and energy.
September has arrived. If not done
already, the preparations are in full
swing to see the post-secondary
folks hit the road some near, some
far, but all are ready to make our
world a better place. For the local
students, this week is the time to see
if the clothes still fit, if the backpack
is still okay. Do I have the right
supplies and finally, what else do I
need to do before Tuesday? Oh yes,
it’s a busy week for many.
For others memories are out in full
force. The years are reviewed and
the stages of the children are
remembered with a smile. The year
of the toothless smile, the year when
multiplication tables ruled, the bully,
the best friends, the questionable
teacher, first love, chapter books,
speeches and science fairs are all up
for review. Oh yes September is time
of growth and renewal.
Our travelling ball teams have
done us proud, going both east and
west this summer. Be sure to ask the
parents and coaches and you’ll get
all the details about travelling to a
new area with energetic players who
are doing their very best.
Congratulations to everyone of you,
you’ve done our community proud.
Our Fall Fair is approaching fast,
time to review the fair book, check
your talent supply and get the plans
started, your time and effort in
exhibiting is appreciated by many.
Many, many thanks to the fair board
and the helpers who make the fair
happen each year.
As I think about the past week and
month volunteers come quickly to
the surface. Stop and think about
your favourite things about our
community, now remove those that
work by volunteer labour. Darn,
there goes the fundraiser at the pool
on Saturday, Soup & More is gone,
no one at 5Rs, ball and soccer teams
are kaput, no meals or dances at the
Legion, no choirs in church, 4H
gone, North Huron Food Share
disappears and those are just a start.
Everyone of those groups is what
makes our community caring. As
you make your fall plans, pick one
and verbally, financially or
personally offer to help. You will be
the winner.
Celebrate Labour Day, celebrate
your life.
Bye now, Betty G.W.

A NOTE FROM BETTY
Taking in a story
Crystal McCallum was at the Brussels Library on Saturday, reading to an enthralled Bridget
McCallum. Saturday morning, the library hosted the second of two craft days organized with
the help of the Brussels Agricultural Society, but this pair chose the more traditional library
experience of reading a great story that day. (Jim Brown photo)
At the Branch
Cadets starting soon
By Jo-Ann McDonald
The executive meeting of Brussels
Legion Branch for August was held
on Tuesday evening with nine
members present. Special guest was
Jacqui Workman, the outside auditor
of the Branch books. She found
everything in excellent order and
answered questions for those
present. The meeting continued after
her departure with the usual
business. The Branch Veteran’s
Service Officer, Comrade Mabel
Glanville reports the Provincial
Service Officer, Kim, will be in our
area in October. Any veteran
wishing an appointment needs to
contact Mabel before Oct. 9.
Sports Officer Rick McDonald
attended the district sports meeting
and the Branch will not host any
district events this year. It will host a
zone event, single and double darts
in January. Sports sheets will
be up at the Branch soon. The first
event is cribbage and is in
early November.
Both Youth Chairman Nanci
Ducharme and Poppy Chairman
Sandra Josling report they will be
attending the upcoming seminars for
their respective chairs.
President Jo-Ann attended the full
council meeting on Wednesday
evening at Howick Branch at Gorrie
Hall. She presented the president’s
report and the PRO report.
The officers of the Brussels Army
Cadet Corp are getting ready for the
upcoming year of Cadets. They will
meet Tuesday evenings from 7 - 9
p.m. and are for ages 12-19. Anyone

school starts to see what Cadets can
offer. It is free to join the Cadets and
there is plenty to learn.
The Brussels Legion Pipe Band is
