russels councillors

Bertrand of Elmira. Above, from left, Cheryl Bertrand, Mr. Ten Pas, Mr. Cardiff, Agnes Cardiff, and Mr.

Brussels councillors shy away from TV
Unless overwhelming public
demand changes their minds,
Brusselscouncillors will forego
becoming TV stars on local cable
TV.
Pearl Verstoep and Beth Craw
ford appeared before council Mon
day night to ask for permission to
tape council meetings for later
broadcast on Village Cable TV.
Mrs. Verstoep said a number of
people had asked about the
possibility of having the meetings
shown on Cable TV as is done in
some other municipalities. Villa
gers would be more informed on
the workings of their council, she
pointed out. Although meetings
are open to the public, some people
are not able to attend, she said.
But councillors weren’t enthral
led with the idea of being television
stars. Councillor Malcolm Jacobs
suggested the question of whether
or not to televize council meetings
be included on the ballot at the next
municipal election in the fall of
1988. He pointed out that when he
agreed to run for council there was
nothing in his oath that said he
was going to be on television.
Councillors Neil McDonald and
Gordon Workman also suggested
that any televising of council
should wait until after the next
election. Councillor Betty Graber
said she wasn’t anxious to be on
television but could see how
televisingcouncil might inform
peoplebetteronhowthe village
operated.
Reeve Hank TenPas summed up
the councillors reaction saying that
the councillors seemed to favour
leaving televising of council until
after the next election when a
sampling of public opinion could be
taken. Asked by Mrs. Crawford if a
strong demand from the public
before the next election might
make council reconsider. Reeve
TenPas replied that if ‘ * people said
that’s what they want, maybe the
councillors might change their
minds.”
Following up on a question at the
public ratepayers meeting last
month, Brussels village council
lors voted Monday night to move
toward assigning street numbers
to all houses in the village.
Donna White, deputy clerk
treasurer told council that since the
meeting at which the lack of house
numbers in the village had been
discussed, several people had
contacted the village office to ask
about getting numbers assigned to
their residences. There are cur-
recently numbers for use in the
village office, she said, butthey are
very confusing because they go
around the blocks rather than
straight down each street.
Councillors discussed several
alternatives on how assigning new
numbers could be carried out
before finally accepting Councillor
Betty Graber’s suggestion that
Lori Parker, a high school student
whoworked in the village office
during her work term from school
and who has agreed to help out
during holiday period this sum
mer. be hired to work with village
staff to map out numbers for every
lot on each street in the village.
Councillor Gordon Workman
then suggested that a service club
be approached to see if they would
like to undertake selling house
numbers to the residents of the
village as a fundraising program.
The paper work for the assigning
of numbers will take place over the
next couple of months.
