The Citizen, 2007-05-17, Page 2The tulips are in full bloom,
waving gently in the breezes for all
to admire. The range and
arrangements of colour are enough
to get you out walking to see all the
pretty flowers.
The renewal of life in spring is
such a joy to watch as the bulbs and
perennials take their stand for
another year of enjoyment.
The machinery on the land is good
to see and quite amazing how
quickly the dust was ready to blow,
as the land was being made ready for
new crops.
The girls at 5Rs are not looking
forward to garage sale season. You
could put them in a much better
mood if you look really carefully at
the donations you are making. Put
yourself in the spot of the buyer
before you make the trip to the store
and be very critical of your gifts. If
in doubt toss a bag tag or two in with
your goodies. The board of the 5Rs
will thank you.
As you’re making plans for your
front flowerbeds, keep in mind the
colour scheme for Homecoming and
put your money into red and white
posies. All the July visitors and the
committee getting things in order
will appreciate your effort. As
you’re getting them planted say a
word of thanks for the many
volunteer hours that have already
been put into this reunion.
Be sure to pass on the information
to your offspring and siblings so
they can book the July 27, 28, 29
weekend to return to Brussels for a
good time.
Another Mother’s Day is past. The
descendants are all at another stage
of life. The neat thing about aging is
watching the next generation take
their place in our world. New
interests, new skills, new homes,
new babies and we get to sit by and
enjoy the view.
Mind you the flowers, the books
and the meals are also a very nice
perk. So I hope your Mother’s Day
was a time of joy, connecting by
phone or touch, reminding eachother how important love really is.Do your part this week to be kindto the environment and start to do anew thing besides the things that arealready habits – car pool, walk or bike, cloth bags for your groceriesand the list goes on. We owe it tofuture generations to show moreconcern. You can do it, start thisweek.Bye now, Betty G.W.PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2007.

It was a quiet week at the Brussels
Legion Branch.
The Friday night supper of ham
had a small group on hand. There is
no supper this week as it is the long
weekend.
Comrade Isabel Workman is home
from hospital and we wish her
continued improvement.
The Mother’s Day dinner was
enjoyed by a great crowd. The hall
was beautifully decorated in pastels
and flower arrangements and a
fountain. Thanks to the Langloises
for the lovely table and chairs and
the Bennetts for the fountain.
Decorating was done by Nanci
Ducharme. The prep crew included
Mabel Willis, Deb Cann, Sharon
Robbins and Danielle Ducharme.
Giving up Mother’s Day with their
own families to help were Leona
McDonald, Jo-Ann McDonald,
LeeAnn and Jason Konarski, Deb
Cann and Judy Lee along with three
cadets from the Brussels Cadet
Corps, Josh Struthers, Ashley Muse
and Brian Burgess. Their mothers
Michelle Muse/Struthers and
Shirley Burgess also helped.

Grey firefighters were called to the
scene of an early morning crash,
which claimed the life of a 21-year-
old Atwood man, May 9.
Chief Calvin Semple said they
responded at 6:30 a.m. According to
police Trevor Kuepfer was the lone
occupant of a pickup truck,
travelling west on Perth Line 72 just
at the Huron County border.
Police said Kuepfer drifted off the
pavement and lost control in the
gravel. The truck came to rest on its
side against a hydro pole.
Kuepfer, whom police say was not
