Legion hosts pub night
BY SANDRA JOSLING
This year Sept. 16 through Sept.
22 is Legion Week. All across
Canada, Legions are showing the
public what goes on beyond the
front doors of their establishments.
On Friday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. the
Brussels Legion is hosting a Pub
night. Here the public can enjoy a
night of fun and comradeship while
making inquiries about the Legion.
(Such as membership, bursaries,
nevada and volunteer involve
ment).
To do the amount of fundraising
in the Legion each year it takes a lot
of dedication by the membership.
Brussels
People
The date is set. Sept. 18 & 19,
the plans have been made, but
volunteers are needed to make it
happen. Can you bake pies?
Brussels Fall Fair officials need
them for Wednesday. They also
need help in the food booth or help
on Tuesday with the exhibits. Help
is needed with the parade, collect
ing admissions, setting up and
clean up. Male or female if you
have a few hours Sept. 17, 18 or 19
they can find you a job. Please call
B. Mutter 887-6117 or come to the
arena.
However, these funds are not only
for the upkeep of the Legion. Each
year monies are donated back to
the community through local ser
vice groups, Hospitals, Children’s
Aid Society, Cancer Society, Heart
& Stroke Foundation, figure skat

We do urge the people of the
community to come out, see how
the Legion operates, and enjoy the
friendship of our local comrades of
Branch 218, Brussels.

Brussels still has leaf problem
Brussels village council still has
a leaf problem on its hands as
another fall approaches but coun
cillors made it clear they don’t want
leaves burned on asphalt streets.
Deputy clerk-treasurer Donna
White told council that there had
been hopes some area farms might
use the leaves for composting but
the farmers involved said they
weren’t interested. “It’s back to
burn or not burn,” she said.
Councillor Greg Wilson said
people shouldn’t be able to bum on
asphalt streets because of the
damage it does to the pavement.
Reeve Gordon Workman agreed.
“We’re trying to fix the streets and
they’re (the burners) trying to
wreck them”, he said. The fire
burns the tar out of the asphalt.
There is a major difference of
opinion about the burning of leaves
with councillor Dave Hastings in
favour of leaf burning while some
others feels the leaves shouldn’t be
burned.
Council agreed that if people
wanted to rake their leaves on
weekends, village crew will pick up
the bagged leaves each Monday
morning and take them to the
dump where they have been left to
compost.
Our goof
In a report of the Aug. 7 meeting
of Brussels village council The
Citizen reported that water and
sewer services were to be provided
under an agreement for the exten
sion of Frederick St. In reality,
only water is to be provided as well
as the street being extended.
In addition it was stated that four
landowners had agreed to pick up
the costs under the agreement but
one of the landowners along the
street has not agreed to sign the
agreement.
