The quote, which is not binding and will be returned to council for more debate, follows the implementation of automated recycling collection in 2012, which has been well-received according to Mayor Paul Gowing. “I think it’s worked quite well,” he said. “I haven’t heard a negative comment since after we set up the collection process.” M-T seeks new automated refuse collection schedule Students enjoyed break, happy to be back to school It has been a great March Break for all and the weather seems to be improving every day. The bright sun has everyone in better spirits and the snow is just gradually slipping away. I had one less job this week, with no bus, but found plenty of other things to do. I spent an afternoon with my mother, taking her out for a drive in the nice sunshine! She enjoyed it very much after being in the house most of the winter. It was a week ago Monday, a lady reported on the radio, seeing her first robin. Then another caller reported seeing two robins. It has taken a whole week later before I finally saw a robin. The poor thing probably thought what a mistake he made, because it was - 14°C! It is bound to get warmer for them and for us to enjoy! The children seemed to be happy to be back to school and when asked if they had a good holiday, it was yes, yes, yes. Some went to Grandma’s house, some to daycare, some helped parents work in the barn, some went skiing, snowmobiling (a little) and some went to cooking school. They reported lots of activities and lots of fun. They are very happy to see their friends again and tell them about their holiday. A reminder it is only nine months until Christmas! The Brussels birthday girls gathered to celebrate the March birthdays last week. The special ladies this month are Jane Hall, Cora Alcock and Dale Chesher, who celebrated an extra special 75th birthday. Joining the party celebrations for a roast pork dinner at JRs Restaurant were Joan Bernard, Leona Armstrong, Marcy Bremner, Bev Palmer, Merle Cousins, Liz Coultes, Alice Marks, Jean Davidson, Isabelle Wheeler, Lois McCutcheon, Edna McLellan, Nora Stephenson, Laura Barbour, Betty Cardiff, Audrey Cardiff, Nelva Scott and Betty Campbell. Welcome back to Emily Cousins who spent March Break with her daughter. Emily went to London to be with Laura for a girl’s week. They spent five days going shopping, eating out, sleeping in and talk, talk, talking. Emily reports a wonderful mother/ daughter bonding time together. Welcome back to the members of the Glanville family. They went to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan to support Art Glanville in the recent loss of his wife, Shelley. They stayed at Melford with Alec and Gail Glanville while away. Heading west were Lloyd, Ken and Betty, Lorne and Bonnie Glanville, Marlene Hill and Marjorie Horst. Some stayed longer than others but all have now returned. Our deepest sympathy to Bill Roberton on the sudden passing of his wife Marlene. She will be missed by her sisters and their families and Bill’s sisters. Many folks will remember Marlene as the Public Health Nurse, who did school visits and home visits to many area folks. She was a true free spirit, who enjoyed her work, her friends, travelling and various sports like swimming, golf, curling, camping and skiing. She was a wonderful nurse who enjoyed having a fun time with all. She will be missed by her family and many, many friends from across Huron County. Our condolences to all. Celebrating birthdays this past week include Keith Wilbee, Carol Henderson, Geoffrey Bauer, John Gillis, Kennedy-Ann Huether, Cathy Regele, Brandi Williamson, Randal Linton, Dave Watson, Ben Finlayson, Kerrisa Eckert, John Van Vliet, Christopher Gulutzen and Ashley Hoegy. Happy birthday to all.

Darters face season end A stand-up guy Matt Shortreed, right, was the big winner at Saturday night’s Brussels Optimist Club’s spring dinner and auction when he took home the night’s 50/50 draw. However, Shortreed didn’t take his cut home at all, but rather donated it back to the club to aid in its efforts to raise money for both Autism Ontario and community betterment. Optimists Jason Crawford, front, and Vern Logan, back, were sure to thank Shortreed for his generosity. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
