While enjoying a spring jaunt
this past weekend, four year old
Brooklyn Wheeler and her mother
Brenda spied a balloon floating
across an open field. When they
retrieved it they discovered that it
had travelled an approximate dis- beginning at 11 a.m. All students
will parade to McCutcheon’s Mo
tors, then north down Turnberry to
the Library, then proceed south to
tne Nursing Home before returning
to the school. Following that there
will be a Fun Fair at 1:00 in the
gym.
Friends, neighbours, and rela-
tance of 800 miles.
The letter inside the balloon was
from three year old Amy Cahill of
Lenexa, Kansas. Amy belongs to
La Petite Academy: The Parent’s
Partner, which sponsored the bal
loon release as part of their petite
walk to help Children’s Miracle
Network, the letter stated.
They asked that whoever finds
the balloon contact them by filling
out the reverse side of the letter
telling them where you found the
balloon and returning it to La Petite
Academy.
Wendy Martin, daughter of
Howard and Alice Martin of RR 3,
Brussels, has gone to the Domini
can Republic to study. This has
been arranged by the Goshen
College of Goshen Indiana.
Helping to keep ‘Ontario’s Pret

onment.

don’t be alarmed. May 4 has been

Council’s pay as you go policy goes
An attempt by the Brussels
council to adopt a “pay as you go”
development philosophy mec heavy
opposition from property owners on
John Street, in the south end of the
village, Monday night and council
has offered a deal that won’t cover
all costs from lot levies.
An angry group of property
owners, led by former village
councillor Malcolm Jacobs objected
to a proposal from council and the
Public Utilities Commission to re
cover all the costs of expanding the
sewer line along John Street which
will open up several new building
lots. Also present were Bruce
McCall, Mike Thomas, Bob Ray
mond and Mrs. Sam Workman.
The council’s proposal would have
recovered all the estimated $20,163
from the landowners who would
benefit in the area, or the program
could be expanded to serve the
homes of Mr. Raymond and Ken
Tyerman for an extra $4,000.
Mr. Jacobs objected that a lot
levy of $2,250 had been set for
providing sewer services to lots in
the McDonald-Bryans subdivision
after council reached an agreement
with the developers of those lots.
Worse, he said, the agreement
signed with the developers in 1982
meant the council would have to
pay all the costs of servicing lots on
existing streets. On James street it
meant that on the west side of the
road the lot owners would have to
pay if sewers were ever installed
under the new policy, and on the
east side, the town would pay the
costs for the developers.
Hugh Hanly, clerk-treasurer said
that agreement had been a mistake
but there was nothing council could
do to remedy the situation now.
Reeve Gordon Workman said the
council never found out about the
provisions of the original agree
ment until a year ago and after
taking the agreement to lawyers in
Goderich and London had been
given opinions the agreement
should never have been made but

“I’m not going to be condemned
for things that have been done
when there were other people
around the table who were smarter
than me who didn’t see the
problem,” Reeve Workman said,
pointing out the village’s lawyer at
the time recommended signing the
agreement.
