People Trina Joan Watts, daughter of Max and Barb Watts has graduated from Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology, King City in Early Childhood Education. Trina is presently employed at the Matthew John Day Care Centre, Toronto. Compiled by Marilyn Higgins Visitors at Doreen and Frank Rutledge’s, were cousins of Frank’s who had not met for 42 years. They were Edna and Lawrence Hardy of Rothley Eng­ land. For a week they enjoyed being shown Huron County, also having lunch with John Rutledge of Blyth. After driving them to Owen Sound where they are staying with Lawrence’s relatives, the Rut­ ledge’s spent a night with their relatives June and Bert MacDon­ ald. If you see anything kind of odd going on up on Mill St. W. it’s just Jack Clark trying out his new skateboard that he won from E.M.A. “Good Luck Jack.’’ The Horticultural Society re­ ports that the community flower beds and boxes have all been planted and hope that with suitable weather and co-operation from everyone they will provide a spot of colour in the Homecoming celebra­ tion s. The interest of the towns­ people through donations and willingness to water the flowers is much appreciated, society mem­ bers say. Informative advertising helps lower the price of goods. Apology In last week’s report on a debate over the extension of John Street to service the 'Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre, The Citizen said that a three-way argument broke out at the end of the meeting between councillors Gordon Workman, Neil McDonald and Malcolm Jacobs. Because of the type of debate being waged, our reporter did not have word by word quotes and another neutral observer felt that Councillor Jacobs did not take an active part in the discussion. We therefore apologize to Councillor Jacobs for the error and hope it has not caused him embarrassment.

He said a recent Saturday night event the band had played until 1:35 a.m. Outside the arena, he said, there were glasses all over the place.***** Councillor Jacobs, reporting for the property committee said he would like to see a street light installed on the west side of Turnberry at the corner of Mill St. because of the lack of light at the corner and the danger it caused. ***** Greetings from Brussels council will be going to a number of towns and cities in Europe when the Brussels Pipe Band members tour late this summer. Council approv­ ed the drafting of letters for the band to take along on the journey. ***** Council approved the purchase of a starter kit for setting up a Block Parent plan for the village. The council must first send away for the kit and receive it before community groups can be contacted to get involved.

The Planning Act [1983] requires that municipalities provide the public with the opportunity through a special meeting of Council to comment upon the need for the revision of the Village Secondary Plan. This meeting is an opportunity for anyone with comments or suggested changes to make their thoughts known to Council. The proposed Official Plan Amendment seek to carry out revisions to the Secondary Plan in 7 separate areas as follows: 1. Economic Development Policies The proposed Official Plan Amendment would include Economic Development policies to promote the Village of Brussels and include any efforts which benefit the community as a whole. These activities could include the following: neighbourhood improvement, industrial development, tourist promotion, and community activities, all of which contribute to community identity and economic stability. 2. Site Plan Control The proposed Official Plan Amendment would include policies pertaining to the use of site plan control. The areas to be subject to site plan control will include commerical; industrial; institutional; high density; medium density; nursing homes; rest homes. Site Plan Control provisions will enable Council to pass by-laws which require the submission and approval of site plans by Council. 3. Public Participation and Public Notice The proposed Official Plan Amendment reduces the length of time required for notice of a public meeting from 30 days to 21 days for the purpose of a public meeting for a zoning amendment. 4. Holding Zone Provisions The proposed Official Plan Amendment would establish holding zone policies. These would apply where the use of land has been established and where the details of development have not been determined. Development of a site cannot proceed until the holding symbol is removed. 5. Property Standard Provisions The proposed Official Plan Amendment would establish property standards to control the appearance and condition of property and maintain and improve the maintenance and occupancy of the physical and structural resources in the community of Brussels. 6. A number of minor technical and wording changes to bring the Official Plan into conformity with the Planning Act [1983] and to clarify wording. 7. A number of map changes to Schedule B including those on the attached map. ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed official plan amendment. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the proposed official plan amendment is available for inspection at the Huron County Planning Department, Court House, Goderich, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and at the Brussels Municipal Office.
