Brussels PS news

with the wintry weather that buried us under a huge amount of flakes throughout the area
making roadways, and sidewalks, impassible for a time. _
School gets new crest for entrance Brussels
By Kevin White and
Shannon Groves
hasBrussels Public School
acquired a new crest for the front
entrance. The crest depicts a
student graduating with a trophy
and a diploma. In our opinion it
symbolizes someone that is proud
of his/her achievements and is now
moving on to a career.
Junior and intermediate classes
will be focusing on inventions and
inventors for the next two months.
This theme will be tied into the
science and language arts
programs.
KINDERGARTEN/JUNIOR
KINDERGARTEN
Parents of children bom in 1989
and 1990 whose children are
enrolling in kindergarten or wish
their child to enroll in junior
kindergarten, if approved, are asked
to contact the school. These
numbers are needed for the Board
of Education to allocate staff for
next September. Thanks for your
assistance.
This morning the Kindergarten
class seemed pretty happy playing
with their new toys. The first unit
was the water table; it seemed very
enjoyable. When asked what he
liked about the water table Cory
Chapman said "You can play with
boats in water".
The next unit is the doll house. It
has two floors and has many little
peoples. Amy Bishop said she liked
putting the people in the cars. The
doll buggy was very busy carting
"babies" around the room. Amy
enjoys pushing babies around in the
buggy.
The last toy is a kitchen set. At
this activity the children pretend
that they cook and eat food.
Fire agreement displeases county
Huron County should not have to
pay extra for fire protections for
Huronview and Huronlea homes
for the aged, some councillors
argued at the Jan. 6 meeting of
Huron County Council.
Noting that homes serviced by
Zurich, Hensall and Exeter fire
departments pay no extra for fire
protection, Zurich Reeve Robert
Fisher wondered why the county
should pay $4,000 for fire protec
tion at Huronview and a similar fee
at Huronlea.
"That's what the committee
(Health and Seniors committee)
asked," said Lynn Murray, county
clerk-administrator. "That is why
we are renegotiating."
She explained that the old Huron
view did not meet fire codes mean
ing extra costs for coverage by the
Clinton Fire Department. When
Huronlea was opened the same
model was used for a fire agree
ment.
Dave Gower, deputy-reeve of
Goderich Twp., pointed out that the
two homes pay no taxes to the
municipalities which must provide
the fire protection (Tuckersmith for
Huronview and Morris for Huron-
lea). Jack Coleman, reeve of Stan
ley, however, pointed out that the
county does pay taxes on vacant
farmland at Huronview. Norm Fair
ies, reeve of Howick, pointed out
taxes are paid on the apartments at
the new homes, but not to the
homes themselves. "If there is a fire
in the apartments there is no
charge. The agreement covers the
other parts of the homes on which
there is no tax paid."
The agreements with both homes
tion. "We're presently putting
together a proposal to discuss with
Tuckersmith for an agreement that
would be suitable to all parties,"
said Wayne Lester, administrator
