Brussels council cools on 'sister city' An upcoming visit to Brussels' "sister city" in Standish, Michi- gan won some support from Brussels village council Monday night but with indications that such support is going to be hard to come by in the future. Bob Fraser from the Brussels Legion attended the meeting to ask that Council give the organizers of a bus trip on April 26 to Standish a grant from the "Sister City Fund". Reeve Hank Ten Pas explained that the money in the fund was not there for grants but had been originally been given the Sister City Fund as a loan to buy hats, T-shirts, etc. which would then be sold to raise money for future Sister City activities. Most of the hats and Nelson Patterson dies at age 84 NELSON HOWARD PATTERSON Nelson Patterson of 260 Mc- Connell St., Blyth died at Clinton Public Hospital on April 2, 1986 after a lengthy illness. He was 84 years of age. He was born on the 13th concession of Hullett township and attended school at S.S. No. 9, Hullett township. He married the former Zella May Carter of East Wawanosh at Westfield in 1923. She survives him. He was a farmer until his retirement. He was a member of Blyth United Church and was a 60 -year member of the Loyal Orange Lodge. He had served as a trustee of S.S. No. 16, East Wawanosh and as a member of the board of Goderich District Colle- giate. He was active in baseball for many years. Surviving besides his wife are two sons, William and Kenneth, both of Blyth and a daughter, Shirley, Mrs. Darrell Wood, of East Wawanosh. The funeral service took place on April 4, 1985 from the Tasker Funeral Home in Blyth with Rev. Ken Bauman conducting the ser- vice. Interment was in Ball's Cemetery. Serving as pallbearers were Jack Armstrong, Harold Carter, Ross Patterson, Harold Knox, Donald Sprung and Bob Carter. Flowerbearers were Rick Patter- son, Kent Patterson and Perry Wood, all grandsons. Former Brussels resident dies MARY MARGARET [MAYME] TURVEY Mary Margaret (Mayme) Tur- veyformerly of Brussels died April 4, 1986. She was 92 years of age. She was the daughter of the late Thomas Archibald and Margaret Ireland. She married Charles Roy Turvey who predeceased her in 1975. She was also predeceased by two sisters, Hazel, Mrs. Dick Whitfield and Jean, Mrs. Ed Miller. Surviving is one daughter, Margaret, Mrs. Bill McTaggart of Goderich, one grandchild, Scott McTaggart of London and two great grandchildren, Deanna and Heath McTaggart. The funeral service was held on Sunday, April 6 from the Brussels Chapel of the M. L. Watts Funeral Home with Rev. Victor Jamieson officiating. Burial was in Brussels cemetery. Pallbearers were Ross Turvey, Glenn Sellars, Bill Sellars, Chester Higgins, Bill Barwick and Carson Milley. Heath and Deanna McTag- gart were flowerbearers. T-shirts were never sold and the council now has them back along with the remains of the loan, about $500. After Mr. Fraser left, council discussed the request further. Councillor Gordon Workman said "I think it's for the birds." When Standish people were supposed to visit in Brussels nobody showed, he said. They all went to Wingham which is also listed as sister city of Standish. "Who is the Sister City, Wingham or Us?" Councillor Betty Graber said that if council continues to subsi- dize these bus trips they may end up being asked to donate to things like Women's Institute bus trips. Councillor Malcolm Jacobs pointed out nobody subsidizes the trips by the Booster Club. Reeve Ten Pas reminded council that this was slightly different in that village council had originally sanctioned the sister city program. Councillor Jacobs then made a motion to donate $150 for the trip. The motion was approved. In other business, councillors and members of the Public Utilities Commission will meet Monday night to consider the more than 20 applications received for the posi- tion of clerk -treasurer. Meanwhile Council approved the hiring of Margaret Exel to clean the village offices and library at a cost of $5 per hour. A letter of support will be sent to Radford Auto, Industrial and Farm Parts for its plan to provide two apartments above its new store on main street. The letter will support a request for a grant for providing rental accommodation. Deputy Clerk -treasurer Ruth Sauve informed council that plans for the new EMA Food store have been approved by the Ontario Ministry of Labour but that final electrical drawings had still not been received. A building permit was approved to Wayne Lowe for an addition to his house. Meanwhile demolition will re- main halted on the Huron Produce building until ownership of the building has been confirmed. Mrs. Sauve explained that she had not been able to issue the demolition permit requested by Total Demoli- tion of Brussels because she had not been officially notified that the building had been sold. She said that she had recently been asked for tax certificates on two of the buildings in the block apparently scheduled for demoli- tion which is the first step in changing ownership, but there is still no official word the buildings have been sold. Although there is no official word, rumours continue to persist that a second super- market is planned for the site. There was also discussion about the possible danger to work crews taking the building down from anhydrous ammonia in pipes in the building. Councillor Workman in report- ing on the recreation committee said he had been contacted by the minor ball committee that they wanted to build another new ball diamond near the arena on the west side of the approach road. Several councillors expressed concern about the real need for the additional field and whether they wished to see the area in question used for another ball field. No action was taken. Councillor Workman also said that the Agricultural Society want- ed to know what to do with the midway at the Brussels Fall Fair. Last year the midway officials had insisted on having the midway right by the doors to the arena so that people would have to pass through the midway, he said, but the area has since been paved. Councillors were in agreement that because stakes have to be driven into the ground to support the midway equipment, the midway would have to move to a grassed area away from the pavement.
