as ours. We watched television for
the first time on Sunday night, so
their opening for the Olympics
appeared a little grander than ours,
but I’m sure we had just as good a
time.
The other significant event of this
past week is that Jim and Lois Lee
are “the Citizens” for Brussels.
Yippee for the great choice,
judges.
Congratulations and we’re really
happy that you call Brussels
home.
So we’ve had a good week in
Brussels with lots of company and a
great many venues to catch up with
others and to celebrate all the great
things that we have to come home
to.
Bye now, Betty G.W.

on the committee.”
The event, as succesful as it was,
would not have been possible,
according to Richmond, without the
help of people who donated to it in
all sorts of ways.
“We owe so much to the families
and individuals who stepped up and
laid their money or time on the table
to get these events up and running,”
he said, adding that donations for the
event have continued to come in
from people who wanted to help but
couldn’t find the time before it
happened.
He said the financial support of
the community made the event
possible now and will do so again in
the future. He made a special note of
the contributions of Brussels
Transport as well.
“The future looks bright if we can
continue having this kind of
support,” he said.
Nicole Noble was in charge of
Saturday’s parade and helped with
the Anglican Church dinner held at
the Brussels Morris and Grey
Community Centre on Saturday
night.
“The parade was just fantastic,”
she said. “We knew it was going to
be big but it ended up being two
hours long. We didn’t think it would
be that big.”
She said that aside from being
longer than the previous
Homecoming’s parade, there
was also a lot of horses which fit
the Western theme of the
weekend.
She said that, despite a fire call in
the middle of the parade
which required some tricky
manuevering by floats and the fire
trucks, the parade was a huge
success.
The dinner was also well attended,
according to Noble.
“We fed over 600 people and the
house was full,” she said. “It was
catered by Jeff Cardiff and the food
was great, we had a lot of people
comment on it.”
Jason Crawford was in charge of
the beach volleyball tournament
as well as the water events at the
Maitland Valley Conservation
site on Sunday and he said
that interest was so high in the
former that they had to turn people
away.
“We added more teams this year
because we knew it would be busy,
but we actually ended up turning
down four teams for the volleyball
tournament,” he said. “We had a
good crowd there.”
The winners of the tournament
were Hammertime who took home
$500 and the Dirty Beaches who
took home $280.
The Bathtub race brought in 13
teams but, unfortunately, one
dropped out just prior to the race.
“It was a good race, everyone had
a lot of fun,” Crawford said.
Winners for the race were as
follows:
• First place: Tubthumping
• Second place: Laffin Duchman
• Third place: Rub a Dub Dub 2
Girls in a Tub.
• Best Tub: Broke Back Bath Tub
Happening at the north end of
Brussels behind the Optimist
Clubhouse, Boothill Bash 2012, an
all-equine event, featured the
talent of local Western riders as well
as those of the Southern
Ontario Cattle Sorting (SOCS)
association.
Through the work of many
volunteers, but most notably the
Workman family of Turkey Run
Ranch, events were held all weekend
long showing off not only the riding
ability of the gathered cowboys and
cowgirls but also, through a
special presentation by the Workman
family, the day-to-day life of a
rancher.
After match races, barrel races and
pole bending, 12 All Around
Cowboys were awarded at the end of
the weekend including Jacquie
Gowing who was named the
Champion All Around Cowboy,
Gavin Workman who was
named the Reserve All Around
Cowboy, Kelly Workman who took
the Wild Card All Around Cowboy
and Bill Giesel who won the match
race.

result of the inquest include a
standardized grate opening size of
no more than eight inches by eight
inches, that workers be equipped
with a handheld radio at all
times, the installation of stop
buttons, monthly health and safety
refresher courses, weekly testing of
safety systems and several
others. The jury has recommended
that several of the recommendations
be adopted as standard
practice throughout the mining
industry.
“On August 25, 2009, [Murray]
went to work and he didn’t come
home,” Jeff said during the inquest.
“Over 400 families at Sifto every
day send fathers and husbands,
sons, brothers and grandfathers to
work. I hope these
recommendations will make sure
they all come home.”
Jeff says what he likes about the
recommendations is that they’re
realistic and can be implemented
without much having to change. He
said there have been inquests in the
past that have resulted in unrealistic
recommendations, leaving the
employers in an awkward place,
but this wasn’t one of those
times.
“I think the recommendations are
great and I think they’re realistic,”
Jeff said. “I have heard of
recommendations that would make
the workplace safer, but they’re not
realistic. These could easily be
implemented.”
McNeil’s claim to fame
What would a Brussels parade be without the presence of McNeil’s famed jalopy? The
village’s most venerable vintage vehicle made its presence known with noises of all kinds and
huge billowing clouds of smoke in the 140th Brussels Homecoming parade on Saturday.
