Digging in
Eight ladies dug through their newly-purchased purses over the weekend at the Brussels
Optimists auction, but only one (Jodi Semple, standing, third from left) discovered a new pair
of earrings, valued at over $600. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
The new Brussels Library has
found its architect.
Thor Dintman of Stratford has
been contracted to do the job by
Huron East council in a motion that
was approved at council’s March 17
meeting.
Initially council was planning on
looking into options for a design
build for the library.
However, after several attempts
and coming up short, what
councillors wanted in terms of
design needed an architect in order
to make it happen.
Clerk-administrator Jack
McLachlan said the cost to the
municipality, $35,000, is relatively
low compared to many established
architects and since Dintman is new
to the world of architecture, this may
be the reason for the price cut.
However, he said, and several
councillors agreed, that a young
architect, eager to make a name for
himself, would put a lot of work into
the project.
Council passed the motion nearly
unanimously, the only no being
councillor Larry McGrath.
Dintman will be contracted to
design the new library, draft the
tender documents, see the contract
through construction and then have a
construction review afterwards.
Timeline has yet to be established
as to when council expects design
plans from Dintman.

Gone!
The Brussels Optimists stepped up to the plate over the
weekend to combat multiple sclerosis with their live and
silent auction. Auctioneering, left, was Kevin McArter and
emceeing was Don Sholdice. The auction raised money
for multiple sclerosis and the speakers included Brussels
resident Jacob McGavin, who was recently named Junior
Citizen of the Year and a founding member of Kids Care at
Brussels Public School. The Optimists also raffled an LCD
television, from which the benefits, in excess of $1,300,
went towards McGavin’s organization. (Shawn Loughlin photo)

Huron East council has set
$20,000 aside in its 2009 budget for
grant requests, playing it safe to
cover the just over $17,000 in
requests the municipality has
already received.
After several hours were
dedicated to the municipal budget at
council’s March 17 meeting,
councillors opted to delay going
through the grant applications line-
by-line. The money, however, has
been set aside to cover the grants
(and nearly $3,000 more) while at
the same time, giving local groups
several more days to send in a
request if they haven’t already.
Requests have already been
submitted by the Belgrave, Blyth
and Brussels School Fair, the
Brussels Agricultural Fall Fair, the
Brussels Horticultural Society and
the Brussels Santa Claus Parade as
well as the Ethel Minor Softball
Association.
The 23 grants total $17,233.00
with the largest request being from
the Seaforth Lions Club, being
for the pool, in the amount of
$6,500.
