Brussels council briefs Councillors discuss Hallowe’en woes A special "large item" garbage pick-up day will be held before Hallowe'en to try to leave as little as possible for vandals to do on the holiday, Brussels Village Council­ lors decided at their Sept. 1, meet­ ing. The move was one of the recom­ mendations coming out of a meet­ ing between members of council and O.P.P. officials to discuss ways of preventing vandalism such as what took place last year. Councillors also learned that youngsters under 16 years of age MTO requests sign removal Continued from page 3 this much effort to better their property, should be supported.♦♦♦ The Ministry of Tourism and Recreation has approved a grant in the amount of $19,357 for the pur­ chase of additional property at the recreation grounds to the west. Due to the purchase the agree­ ment between the Thresher Associ­ ation and the village was amended to include the purchased property and to give the Thresher Associa­ tion exclusive use in exchange for its donation to the purchase price. Also any development or additional use will be by mutual consent of the village and the Thresher Asso­ ciation. The Ministry of Transportation has requested the removal of vari­ ous signs from Highway 4 - Remember When, United Church, Anglican Church, playground, tourist booth, Lion's Park, camping and arena. Due to the fact that the County may get health council Continued from page 6 Health and Social Service Liaison Committee regarding suggestions of people who might sit on a dis­ trict health council steering com­ mittee. Two members of county council would also sit on the com­ mittee. Reeve Hicknell said she under­ stood from a meeting earlier this year in Goderich that Huron didn't have to have a district health coun­ cil. "Then why are we doing it?" The Planning and Development office is investigating the district health council idea because the executive committee asked that it be part of the Huron Study into reorganizing upper tier government in the county, Nigel Bellchamber, county clerk-administrator told her. "If county council wants it stopped it should say so."*** Councillors seated out a decision to approve the purchase of two new can be escorted home unless they are in the company of someone 18 or older. If the youngster appears on the streets again, parents can be charged under the child welfare act. Councillors were somewhat dis­ gusted, however, that they weren't given more options as to what can be done and with the short-staffing of the Wingham detachment that means the police have trouble cov­ ering their whole territory. "If the police can’t do anything what the hell can we do," wondered Reeve Gordon Workman. signs are on hydro poles they are interfering with the right-of-way. Clerk Helen Grubb told council that she has spoken to the people at the Stratford MTO office and writ­ ten to London expressing a concern with the removal of the playground signs due to safety reasons and the direction to the village facilities.*♦» Blyth Festival requested a dona­ tion of $47 to be matched by $13 from a pool established by the festi­ val's benefactors. It was felt, however, that any­ thing councillors chose to do on a personal level was one thing, but they would not make a donation on the village's behalf. A grant of $1500 is given yearly from the vil­ lage to the Festival.**» A letter of support is being sent to Union Gas encouraging that they consider bringing the service to the area. It was also felt that letters should be sent to other industries and busi­ nesses urging them to write letters air conditioning units to cool the floor of the court house containing the council chambers. As they approved the purchase the trucks of the contractor were already installing the equipment outside. The decision of the executive committee to purchase the equip­ ment came after a break down of the old air conditioning equipment earlier in the summer. Only the two top floors of the building are air conditioned but the spill of cool air from those floors also helps cool the- main floor. With the units not working, Mr. Bellchamber said, the marble floor of the main hall became so wet on one humid day that "danger, wet floor" signs had to be put out. While some councillors won­ dered about why they were being asked to vote on an installation that was already under way, others probably wished the workmen would hurry up and get the job Councillors were also disturbed when they realized Hallowe'en is on a Saturday night this year, meaning they could be facing three nights of trouble. They are consult­ ing with the Brussels Fire Depart­ ment to see how to best cover the potential trouble. *** Several people have called Brus­ sels municipal office to say they use the Wheels Away transit ser­ vice and are pleased with the ser­ vice. Councillors indicated they still didn't want to be tied into an of support as well. *♦* Mrs. Grubb was given permis­ sion to attend at by-law workshop I in London Oct. 23. The registration cost of $133.76 covers the cost of the by-law manual. Councillor Scrimgeour suggested that perhaps in the future the clerks in the area municipalities could divide up these workshops to share the information and cut costs.*♦* Sept. 20-26 was declared as Legion Week. Village Foreman John Rinn had requested permission to remove the overgrown cedars at the stone gate­ way to the recreation park and replant prior to the Thresher Reunion. Estimated cost would be $525 or $605, which includes fresh soil, fertilizer, fabric and crushed brick. Council, however, felt that clean­ ing up the general area would be a better way to improve the look at this time. done as one of the few warm days of the summer had perspiration on many brows. r BRUSSELS VILLAGE MARKET 1 SPECIALS SEPTEMBER 8 - SEPTEMBER 12, 1992 OPEN MONDAY TO SATURDAY 8A.M. - 6 P.M.
