Brussels council briefs Murray Siddall named to Medical-Dental Centre board Brussels took a small step closer to getting a new fire hall recently when a survey of the property around the current fire hall was completed. The survey will now be provided to the Brussels Fire Department to see if the three-bay fire hall the Department would like to build, can be put on the site. There is also the problem with a sanitary sewer on the lot that would be too expensive to move so would have to be built around. If the current site proved unsuitable there is always the option to move the fire hall to the industrial park in the northern part of the village. ***** Murray Siddall was named to the board of the Medical-Dental Cen tre. He replaces Cecil Moore who resigned last month after serving as chairman of the board. ***** A by-law was passed by council to accept a small parcel of land from Max Oldfield in the west end of the village at Halliday and Queen Streets. The village will pay $1 for the land plus the legal fees Brussels 4H season begins BY JACQUELINE SEILI Another season of 4H has begun. This time around, members are studying Horticulture. The first meeting of the Brussels 1 4H club was held at the home of Kathy Bridge on Thursday, Febru ary 21. Books were passed around and members cards were filled out. The meeting was opened and elections were held. Jacqueline Seili was voted president; Sandra Bridge, vice-president; and Lorie Jamieson, secretary. Three new members were introduced, Veronicca Grobbink, Rita Van Den Broek, and Julie Cloakey. Members took turns reading through the notes on the meeting. Then they planted two coleus seeds in each of their yogurt cups. They watered each of them and set them in tin trays. The second meeting was held onFebruary 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the home of Kathy Bridge. Three more new members joined: Becky Mc Laughlin, Lisa Coyne and Barb Pehlke. Jacqueline Seili, president, opened the meeting. Members conducted the roll call and read through last meeting’s minutes. They then got down to business and got messy. They watched a demonstration on how to transplant plants. They finished reading the meeting’s notes and closed the meeting with “Learn to do by doing’’.

It will allow buses to load at the school without having their flash ing lights on and tying up traffic. ***** Councillors discussed continuing complaints about two commercial properties on Main Street owned by the same landlord. Councillors had insisted some broken windows be covered in but still were not happy with the condition of the buildings. ***** Councillors discussed what to do with a $35,000 anti-recession grant from the Ontario Ministry of Muni cipal Affairs. The grant covers some of the plans the village had included in its last Pride grant application which wasn’t success ful. The money can be used for repairs to the library, sidewalk construction or could be used by the Public Utilities Commission for updating Hydro needs. However, the $35,000 must be matched by the village and with the expensive extension of Elizabeth St. to serve Huronview North, councillors won dered where they could find the money. Councillors agreed to tour the library and see just what work has to be done, then see how best to allocate the money. Councillors indicated there’ll be a need to keep a tight budget this year because of that major project at Huronview. Councillor Greg Wilson said he’d like to see storm sewers upgraded in the village but there will be no money for that this year.***** While there was good news on that front, the councillors learned there had not been no such luck with a grant to help pay for new flooring at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre. The Ministry of Tourism and Recreation had turned down the grant for the $12,000 project. A Ministry official indicated it is only “giving out grants that keep the doors (of facilities) open, nothing cosmetic,” Clerk-Treasurer Donna White told council.***** How quickly the information piles up was illustrated by Mrs. White’s information for council that the village’s three-year-old computer system is overloaded. The current 40 megabite hard drive on the computer is so full many tasks can’t be carried out. Council gave permission for installation of a 105 megabite hard drive at a cost of $820 to alleviate the problem.***** Council approved a grant of $100 to the Belgrave, Blyth and Brussels School Fair.***** Indications are the Snowpitch Tournament organized by the BMG Recreation Committee raised about $2,000 for the arena.***** There are 102 dogs known to exist in Brussels but so far only 29 owners have bought licences, Mrs. White told council. Last year the village finally resorted to having someone go door to door to sell tags, she said, but perhaps that had spoiled people into thinking someone would come to them. Councillor Dave Hastings argued that if it becomes essential to hire someone to go door to door again, those who don’t pay until that time should have to pay extra to cover the salary of the person doing the collection.***** Council approved paying the costs for three Brussels volunteer firemen to attend firefighters school in Goderich April 15-19. The estimate of the cost is $1,400 plus mileage and meals.
