Home My WebLink AboutThe Citizen, 2008-11-27, Page 25A group of Brussels women have been singing Hallelujah. Yvonne Kitchen, Yvonne Dettweiler, Lena Seigers, Sarah Kipfer and Anne Hemingway have been travelling to Kitchener each week to rehearse with the Menno Singers. The 280-voice mass choir is presenting Handel’s Messiah at a concert with the K-W Symphony at Centre in the Square Dec. 13. The choir, comprised as well of the Menno Youth Singers and other vocalists from the outside community, is under the direction of Peter Nikiforuk, organist of Kitchener’s St. Peter’s Lutheran Church. Kitchen said said she had seen an advertisement calling for singers and brought it to the attention of others. “It’s nicer that there’s a group of us to travel.” The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Centre in the Square box office. A motion that will see energy efficient upgrades funded in addition to current municipal allocations was approved by Huron East council at its Nov. 18 meeting. The upgrades will be awarded on an individual basis, however, the two main objectives are currently the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre and the Seaforth and District Community Centre. Treasurer Brad Knight says the two centres are two of the municipality’s largest power consumers and have been assessed penalty charges for a poor power factor that came out of a recently-implemented process to track energy-consumption. The process tracks energy consumption, as well as costs, and includes monitoring of the effects of the improvements. As a result, Huron East contacted the consultant who worked on the Seaforth sewage pumping station,who produced a report for both of thecommunity centres. The report states a payback to the municipality on upgrades of just over three years. Councillor David Blaney, also the project manager for the Centre for Applied Renewable Energy, said he would not be surprised to see a payback come far sooner. The report suggests the installation of automatic capacitor banks, which Knight says can be installed at both locations rather simply. Blaney describes the devices as “big fuses,” which would level out the hydro usage of both centres. “This is proven technology,” Blaney said. “It works. I wouldn’t be surprised to see an even quicker payback because the power factor is such a killer on bills.” The motion was carried and potential upgrades will be discussed during the next year’s budget deliberations.
