Smiles and tears
1990 Brussels Fair Queen Mary Terpstra had a big smile for teary-eyed Margaret Jarvis of
Brussels as she presented her with the 1992 Brussels Fair Queen sash and crown. The
runner-up at the Saturday night competition held at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Arena was
Michelle Machan of Brussels (not pictured) who was also presented with the Miss
Congeniality award. The remaining contestants are (left to right) Lisa Hiusser, Nichole
Hamilton, Holly Dauphin, Tonia McClure, Kelly Overholt and Bonnie Finlayson. Missing from
the picture is Healy Hallahan.
Environment Fair takes shape
The North Huron Environment
Group met on Thursday evening to
discuss the upcoming Environment
Fair, set for Oct. 1 in Brussels at
the Community Centre. The event
will run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Plans are shaping up nicely,
according to Committee Chairper
son Donna White, with many indi
viduals, businesses and ogan-
izations already committing to a
display booth, though there are still
many available. Mrs. White noted
that they could easily house about
40 more exhibitors and are hoping
that the response will continue
favourably.
Invitations were sent to 85 poten
tial exhibitors and the committee
will be spending the few weeks
left, following up on these to guar
antee the most diverse selection
possible.
Participants expected at this point
include, Maitland Valley Conserva
tion Authority, the Huron County
Health Unit, LH Resource Manage
ment and the Ministry of the Envi
ronment. The Five R's Community
Thrift Shop will be demonstrating
the cutting machine which slices
old material to be used in mats.
The Ontario Waste Exchange will
have a display as well as a speaker
present and several local businesses
have become involved as well.
There will be a woman there who
makes 'indisposable' diapers and
another woman with a bosch
machine which she will use to
grind grains and bake bread.
In addition there will be video
presentations on such things as
energy saving and composting.
Mrs. White hopes to establish the
diplays and presentations in such a
way that visitors will see a wide
and interesting variety of things.
Admission is free and there will
be door prizes and giveaways,
donated by various organizations.
The Majestic WI is operating a
food booth throughout the event.
Sponsored by Canada 125, the
fair will be the completion of the
first stage of the button battery pro
gram. Mrs. White said that the
committee will be collecting the
batteries from various North Huron
and some Goderich retailers, who
have been collecting them over the
past few months, prior to the fair,
when there will be a contest for
individuals to guess the number of
batteries collected.
Mrs. White says organizing the
event has been a tremendous
amount of work, but they hope to
repeat it next year as they believe
the benefits are worth it. Education
is the principle one, best accom
plished when started early, so the
committee has sent invitations to
the area schools. Enthusiastic
response has already been received
from Brussels principal Dave
Kemp.
The main goal, she says-, is to
promote public awareness of the
environmentally friendly alterna
tives and educate people. "Things
like how to be a zero garbage shop
per," said Mrs. White. "People are
really good to participate if they
know what they can do and where
to start. We want to show them the
products and services available and
give them the information to help
them on the way."
The next meeting of the Environ
ment Group is set for Sept. 21. Fur
ther information can be obtained by
calling Mrs. White at the Brussels
Municipal Office.
Grey Township Council held its
regular meeting on Aug. 31 and
declared the week of Sept. 27 to
Oct. 4 as Waste Reduction Week.
Council donated a composter as a
door prize to the Environmental
Fair being sponsored by the North
Huron Environment Group in
Brussels on Oct. 1.
Council authorized grants of
$100 to the Huron Plowman's
Association, $25 to the Wingham
Palliative Care Services Inc. and
$500 to the Mount Pleasant
Cemetery Board.
Council decided that the
shelving, chairs and tables from the
former Ethel Library would be
disposed of al a public auction.
