When asked their comments about this trip Mrs. Huether said, “It was the best trip I have taken my class on yet.” Mrs. Wilson said, “Very excit­ ing.’’ The best thing liked by these lucky people was the high wire acts. by Dawn Engel YOUNG AUTHOR’S DAY The students of Brussels Public School have become authors for the last couple of months. You name the topic and it is probably covered in a book by some young Brussels author. On May 5, Brussels Public will be holding their Author’s Day. During this day the students will be reading their books to a group of other students. Ifyou would like to join in this day you are welcome and you may become a helper. On May 11 some of our students will go to East Wawanosh to share their books with other students in the north end of the county. George Swede, the author of “The Case of Seaside Burglaries,” “Tick Bird”, ‘‘Dudley and the Birdman”, and “Dudley and the Christmas Thief” will be visiting Brussels Public School on May 12 in the morning. Any parents who wish to come and listen are most welcome. All schools in the county on May was the same good end-to-end hockey by both teams. Then with 9:10 on the clock Tim Fritz scored from Kevin McArter and Kevin Lee to give Brussels a 1-0 lead. That lead was short-lived as Lucan scored three minutes later to 29 will send young authors to the County Authors’ Day at the Education Centre in Clinton. Only afewstudents from each school will go to Clinton. While there, they will talk with an author and an illustrator. These days should be an enjoyable and educational experience for the students. by Michelle M. IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM On Monday, April 6, Brussels Public School students took part in an identification program sponsor­ ed by the Brussels Legion. The process included the video­ taping of students. The students stood in front of a scale to show height. Then they recited their grade, age, name, teacher and means of transportation to school. Thepurposeofthissession is so that if your child went missing the tape would provide a permanent visual record of your child to aid the police in finding him or her. I feel the program is a really worthwhile effort. by Janis Cardiff Beaver featured on Brussels pins Brussels will have the beaver on its official pins to celebrate home- coming this year. Council approved one of three designs by local artist Jim LeDrew for use as the village pin. The design is a simple one of a beaver surrounded by a circle with the village’s name. This was chosen over another design featuring the mill on the river and a third with a stylized “B” for Brussels. The subject of colours that should be used created consider­ able discussion and a decision was leftfor later. Council agreed to order 1,000 pins. tie the score and then went ahead a minute later as once more they were able to score two quick goals. The Irish added another goal at the 2:27 mark to take a 3-1 lead. The Bulls came back with 17 seconds remaining in the period as Tim Fritz scored from Kevin McArter and Marty Rutledge on a power play effort to keep the game in reach. Lucan scored the only goal in the second period with 9:43 on the clock to hold a 4-2 lead. Marty Rutledge dislocated his shoulder and didn’t play the remainder of the game, during this period, after being taken heavily into the boards. SCIENCE FAIR WINNERS The winners chosen to go on to Clintonfor the regional Science Fair were: Ratsamy Larprorn, grade eight and Lyall Winger. Ratsamy Larprorn’s project was on ‘‘How Plants react to different external stimuli”. She had decided on a biology project concerning plants because she works well with plants and her last project concerned plants also. It takes patience though. The plants need time to grow and it takes a lot of planning and organizing to do a good project. Lyall Winger did his on “electro­ magnets ’ ’. The hardest part for him was trying to put his ideas into words andthen writing it down. Both winners are somewhat excit­ ed about higher judging, although they are still a bit apprehensive. We will be proud of them, no matter what the results are. CAREER DAY Last Wednesday the grade fives had a Career Day. Thewholeclassdressedup as their future occupation.
