Council prepares to combat vandalism Brussels council began its annu al preparations to combat Hallo ween vandalism at its October council meeting Monday night. Council voted to put an adver tisement in The Citizen asking residents to help prevent vanda lism by making sure there was no garbage or trash around that could be set on fire. Letters will be sent asking owners of unoccupied buildings to make sure their buildings are not vulnerable. In past years several such buildings have been set on fire. Council along with the Brussels Fire Department will plan patrols for the Halloween weekend again this year in an effort to head off trouble. Lastyear, afterseveral years of growing destruction, was a quiet night in Brussels on Hallo ween, Don Crawford of the Public Works crew told council. Meanwhile vandalism continues on nights that aren’t even Hallo ween. Reeve Gordon Workman expressed dismay at the damage being done by cars wheeling around on the parking lot at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Com munity Centre. “If we don’t get it stopped I don’t know who’s going to pay for repairing the parking lot,’’ he said. Reeve Workman said he had spoken to the Ontario Provincial Police but they said they can do little because their patrol cars are quickly spotted and things calm dow n until the police leave town again. The Reeve suggested that citizens should help combat the problem by copying down the licence numbers of the hotrodders and phoning them in to the police.***** Another sign that winter is fast approaching was the council’s decision to call tenders for snow plowing of village streets. The tenders, to be invited from three local firms, call for the bidder to be on call from Nov. 16 to March 15.***** Action has been started against two property owners under the Property Standards By-law. Coun cillors Ruth Sauve and Bruce Hahn report visiting the two property owners who will be given until Nov. 30 to clean up their properties voluntarily. If this isn’t done the legal procedures to charge them under the by-law will be commenc ed.***** Councillors again expressed their anger over the cost of conducting a Pay Equity survey of employees. Council had earlier grudgingly agreed to pay $1,800 to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) to have the work done to meet the provincial deadline of having a plan in place by 1990. Now councillors were upset because it appeared to them all they were to get for their money was a set of forms and books and a local committee would still have to dothework,fillintheforms and send them back to AMO. Council voted to withhold the second $900 of its payment until the matter is cleared up. If the money to AMO doesn’t buy more than council now thinks it does, the council may seek the support of other small munici palities to fight the AMO plans.***** Wingham RNA course rates highly The 1987-88 graduating class of Wingham and District Hospital’s School for Registered Nursing Assistants finished third among 34 such schools in Ontario. The Wingham school consis tently places high in provincial standings and news of this latest accomplishment was announced to the hospital’s board of governors at its regular September meeting. Council approved paying for members of the Brussels Fire Department to take tests to upgrade their drivers licences to “D” category now required for driving fire trucks. Mr. Crawford, a member of the fire department explained that after an accident in the province a while back when a fire tanker rolled over, it has been made compulsory that all firemen have a “D” licence for driving trucks. Reeve Workman wondered if it was necessary for every fireman to have the qualification and was told that since any fireman might have to drive the truck, all were to have the licence. It would mean up to nine Brussels firemen would have to take the test at a cost of $50 per fireman. Reeve Workman worried that the new requirement might mean fire departments might lose some fireman who didn’t want to take the tests or couldn’t pass them. He agreed, however, that if the tests must be taken, the firemen shouldn’t be expected to pay the cost. ***** Council voted to donate $350 toward the cost of the Brussels Santa Claus Parade. ***** Brussel’s answer tothe quest for a summer time attraction will be “Fun Fest’’ to be held July 7,8, and 9 next summer. A committee met Monday night to make plans for the event, council was told the same evening. The idea came from the Brussels, Morris and Grey Recreation Committee who will combine with the Brussels Lions and Optimist Clubs to run the event. The money raised will go into a reserve for major capital repairs at the BMG arena, council learned. More details will be available in the future.
