Well, it would seem that roller
skating in Brussels is really catch
ing on but, as a mother with two
small children participating in the
sport I have several concerns I
would like to address.
Many years ago when roller
skating was in vogue, there were
rules and regulations that were
followed if you wanted to be
permitted on the rink. It was
customary for the beginners to
circulate in the inside of the skating
area, while those more practised
moved around them. Racing and
tag were definitely not allowed and
anyone rough-housing was repri
manded, then evicted if they
continued.
Cruisers were hired to remind
people of the rules and keep them
from stopping along the boards or
standing still in the centre of the
rink. Skaters were advised to keep
moving and not cut corners while

skating.
The youngsters in Brussels have
not been given any rules to follow,
and even if they were there is no
one enforcing them. One accom
plished roller-skater has been do
ing his best to assist those who
have fallen, by blowing a whistle to
alert others, but he has no first-aid
experience nor is he in a position to
single handedly control everyone
skating.
There has already been one
mishap with a young girl breaking
her foot and I am certain if some
control is not gained there will be
many more. There are a lot of tiny,
new skaters mixed in with older,
aggressive ones and I fear there
may be some serious injuries.
Perhaps we could look at special
times for different age groups or
different levels of expertise.
It is really nice to see a new
activity for families in Brussels to
enjoy and it would be too bad to see
anything, like an accident, spoil it.♦***♦

Brussels is fortunate to have
residents who have lived here all
their lives, and can remember
events of earlier days. Frank
Thompson’s store is a good spot to
hear about them, particularly if Jim
Smith is in visiting. Chatting with

sonable weather, he remembered a
late season winter storm in mid
April 1926. Buggies had just start
ed to run on the old sleigh tracks,
and a wedding was planned for
April 17. The bride was Miss
Florence Bremner, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William Bremner of Grey
Township, and the groom, Mr.
Albert Cardiff. Mr. Harold Cardiff
was best man, and Miss Isabel
Bremner the attendant. Miss Eliza
beth Smith was the organist. The
wedding was held at the bride’s
home. Following the service and
reception the couple took the
afternoon train from Ethel for their
wedding trip. The Bremner, Car
diff and Smith families are still very
much a part of our community.
