down picnics at library
An attempt by a Brussels
restaurant to set up outside picnic
tables at the village library was
turned back by village council
Monday night.
Council had received the request
from Jr's Shake Shoppe to put
some picnic tables on the lawn
behind the library.
Councillor Malcolm Jacobs was
the first to express his doubts,
worrying about the possibility of
young people crossing the road
from the restaurant to the picnic
area at a busy intersection.
Reeve Hank Ten Pas also
wondered if it might just be asking
for trouble. There is already a
problem with people hanging
around the steps of the library he
said and windows have been
broken. He also worried about the
flower beds.
Councillor Betty Graber said
Gerry Wheeler, owner of the
restaurant, was thinking about a
welcoming spot for summer travel-
lers to stop. "Why couldn't we give
him a month's trial?" she wonder-
ed.
Councillor Gordon Workman
said the only way he would go
ahead with the project is if Mr.
Wheeler was responsible for all
damage done by kids using the
picnic tables. •Eventually council
voted the proposal down.
Council spent considerable time
discussing what streets should be
paved and what sidewalks should
be rebuiltthis year. Final decisions
were delayed until the budget is set
and the amount of money available
is known.
The continuing split between
councillors on how the council
should do business was evident
again in a discussion on whether or
not council should continue its
management committee and whe-
ther or not council should have one
or two meetings a month.
Councillor Gordon Workman
brought the subject up when he
asked that the motion setting up
the management committee be
rescinded. "With four of us on
council, if we can't manage all the
management then we should
resign," he said. He also felt
that one meeting a month was
plenty. He got support in that view
from Councillor Malcolm Jacobs.
But Councillor Betty Graber
pointed out that even with two
meetings a month "we haven't
been going home at 8:30. I'd rather
come to two regular meetings than
a lot of little (special) meetings."
Councillor Workman argued
that the council had never needed
two meetings before and he didn't
think they needed two now. '`We
spend a lot of time making bylaws
that aren't even enforceable," he
said.
Councillor Jacobs told Reeve
Ten Pas that too much time was
taken up in discussions of little
things such as JR's picnic table
request. He said the Reeve was too
worried about hurting people's
feelings and should cut debate
short once everybody had had their
say. He also said delegations
should speak their piece then be,
given a decision.
Councillor Graber pointed out
that many of these rules of conduct
were set out in Bylaw #4, 1985 and
suggested councillors review the
bylaw to see what is good and what
they disagree with.
Majestic WI
holds
euchre party
The Majestic Women's Institute
of Brussels held a very successful
euchre party in the library on April
Fool's Day. There were 11 tables
playing cards.
The prize for the high lady went
to Isabel Craig; high man, Freida
Pipe (playing as a man); low lady,
Jane DeVries, and low man went to
Harold Bolger.
Emerson Mitchell ended up with
the travelling prize for lone hands.
The people at the lucky table were
Marguerite Sanderson, Adah
Smith, Ida Evans and Tont Mac-
Farlane. Arpil Fool's prizes were
won by Isabel Craig, Freida Pipe,
Jane DeVries, Margaret McCut-
cheon and Anna Cunningham.
The Institute is sponsoring
another euchre party on Monday,
April 28 at 7 p.m. beginning with a
Hot Supper. All of the proceeds
from this event will go to the
Canadian Cancer Society.
