W.I. MEETING
On March 8, the Brussels Majes
tic Women’s Institute met at the
library before heading to The
Citizen’s Blyth office.
Keith Roulston gave a tour of
where our paper is put together.
He informed members how the
news and classified sections were
put on the paper. Members learned
information on both black and
white photos and why coloured
pictures are not used often. It was a
very informative tour and will make
us appreciate our paper more.
The ladies returned to Brussels

be turned around and get the arena
back into good financial shape.
Reeve Gord Workman felt that
while the Brussels Council would
probably agree to the budget the
Recreation Committee must start
making money on its own. Mr.
Nedman concurred, stating that he
certainly didn’t want to have to
approach councils every year for
financial help.
A mention was made by Gerry
Wheeler concerning the fact that
the Catering Group has paid the
insurance and should they fold this
would be one more debt facing the
Committee. Commenting on the
upcoming Fun Fest Mr. Wheeler
warned that though it is being held
to raise money for the arena the
Committee shouldn’t count on it.
“If we don’t receive support we
won’t continue with it. That is all
there is to it,” he said.
Reeve Workman suggested
lobbying for government funding,
maintaining that the money is not
being made like it used to be. He
stated that if Blyth could receive
$900,000 then Brussels should be
able to get $600,000.
Ralph Devlin agreed. “Get these
small municipalities together and
ask for money. They (the govern
ment) aren’t going to volunteer.”
It was noted that the 12 year old
arena could see some major ex
penses in the next 10 years, so the
Committee would like to see five
percent of the future budget put
into a reserve fund, but first the
money must be found. Mr. New
man asked the Council’s consider
the proposal. “If it’s not OK we
will have to try and come up with
another solution,” he said.
Corned beef and cabbage must
have been a favorite Sunday dinner
of the Roman Emperor Claudius.
He once convoked the Senate to
vote on whether there was another
dish that tasted better. The Senate
wisely voted a resounding “no”.
