Area girl receives
science awards
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
A Brussels-area girl received two
awards at the regional science fair
held last week in Seaforth.
A Grade 8 student at Brussels
Public School, Kayla Bishop,
daughter of Kevin and Jacquie
received the best consumer-tested
product award, and the laboratory
testing award, for which she received
$170.
Her project was the Battle Against
Germs. Bishop tested anti-bacterial
soap against regular soap. Using a
glow in the dark germicide she
washed spoons, then checked under
an ultra-violet light to see what was
left behind.
Her findings were that consumers

hotel in Shirley while the boys will
stay at a complex.
Over the 10 day tournament the
Lakers are guaranteed four games
and will play three exhibition games
as well.
The Corbetts started with the

on anti-bacterial soap as the regular
soap did just as well in eliminating
germs.
The top three competitors in each
category at the fair were also given
recognition. Among those were
Bishop and another Brussels student
Ami Schimanski, daughter of Frank
and Jennie. The pair received a
medallion for their efforts in the
biological category
Also advancing to the regional fair
from the Brussels event were Lindsay

Happy belated Easter to all. It was a
quiet week at the Branch. Cadets met
as usual on Tuesday evening and plans
were started for their annual
inspection.
The Thursday night dart league had
a full house of 17 players taking aim at
the boards. The first-place team was
Sandra Josling and Steve Thom. In
second place were John Harrison and
Tammy Thom. The high shots were by
Steve Thom with 140 and Lynda Shaw
with 136. A high start by Bruce Clark
by shooting 140 was a high point and
Happy Easter! The season of new
life and growth is here bounding
forth ready to be celebrated. Lots of
families gathered to celebrate -this
long weekend. The Circle of Life is
always obvious when the kids come
home with their kids.
It is so good to see the new
families and the extended families
celebrating together. Each family
group has traditions as simple as just
getting together to eat, or it can be a
long standing routine like colouring
eggs or get a little complicated and
hide eggs in the Huron County
spring. Certain foods cooked in a
specific ways say Easter to families
and the day together is just not right
when they are missed.
Traditions keep our history alive
and great as long as they connect the
past with the present and remind us
that we are part of history. Happy
Easter!
If you missed Jim and Leona
Armstrong out and about in the latter
part of March, it was because they
were checking things out- in the
south. I mean very, quite and
certainly they were checking the
south. They were in Tasmania for
The Associated Country Women of
the low point was team Norm Dobson,
Adam Smith and Julie Harrison being
skunked.
There was no Friday night supper
due to Good Friday. This week is
lasagna and caesar salad.
Saturday was a busy day with
Huron County darts singles playoffs.
Participating from this area were John
Harrison, Eric Ross, Ron Schmidt,
Ken Bird and a few others. Eric was
the A side champion but was defeated
by the B winner for the grand
championship.

the World Convention. Yes, better
read that again - the world-wide
gathering of folks who love the
country.
Jim and Leona spent a week at this
convention enjoying the ideal
weather and the news and views
from the country perspective of
many and varied lands. Wow!
Tasmania is part of the State of
Australia, discovered by Dutch
explorers in 1642, When I heard
Tasmania my recall stopped at the
-Tasmanian devil. The position and
size of this area I knew, but needed
to be a little refreshed on the history
and government of this part of the
world.
After our Institute Ambassadors
FROM BRUSSELS
were through at the gathering they
stopped in Sydney for a visit with
native Aussie Neil Duncan and
family. Days gone by were reviewed
- Neil had worked with the
Armstrong's in the summer of '87.
So family and friends and doing
farming were all part of a very
enjoyable time spent in the south of
our globe.
Churches in the village were
decked out in all their splendour to
mark this very Holy time. Flowers
and pussywillows, butterflies, Easter
bonnets and coloured eggs all did
their bit to show the importance of
this day of Hope.
Enjoy the warming days.
Bye now, Betty GW
