Hugh Hanly will miss Brussels Continued from page 1 mencing her duties as Deputy Clerk Treasurer was the driving force behind the implementation of the recycling program in the vill age, in addition to being a strong organizer and supporter of the Block Parents. A resident of Brussels since she attended public school, Mrs. White has strong feelings about the village. Her major reason for accepting the position was out of concern for stability. She feels that with the faces of governments from municipal to federal, changing so frequently, it is important for municipalities to have some consis tency. “I live here and I plan on being here forever,” she said. About Council, Mrs. White says she hopes to work with the same faces after the November ’91 municipal election. “I think they have a lot of good ideas to keep Brussels growing and thriving. We realize it can only grow within its potential, but, Council has done a good job of looking at Brussels’ future. And they seem to have a good idea of the thoughts of the people.” As a resident herself, Mrs. White said she is representative of the people. “Living here I worry about the same things. 1 pay taxes and I care about what is happening. Now, I am glad to be given the opportunity to serve my municipali ty-” Reflecting on his time in Brus sels, Mr. Hanly said he will miss the village and the residents he has come to know so well.

Members volunteered to help on preparing the lunch are McKercher and Leona Duclos (Bea vers), Ross Hemingway and Larry Proulx (Cubs) and Robin Dunbar (Scouts). It is evident that the number of children exceeds the official re commended ratio of child/leader. Adult assistance is needed: two for Beavers and one each for Cubs and Scouts. Brussels boys in Scouting have enjoyed many successful years. Most of the credit belongs to the dedicated leaders but part is due to the official sponsors, Brussels Lions and Optimist Clubs and to timely assistance from the Legion, Foresters and Allan Teeft (EMA). The leaders hope to continue offering a worthwhile and reward ing program this year. Anyone who wants to help should call Agnes Proulx (887-6446).
