THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1995. 4-H members invite WI to achievement Appreciating a donation Program Director for Huronview and Huronlea, Mary Gibbings and Activation Co-ordinator at Huronlea, Steve Cook, right, thank Brussels Lions Club President John Harrison for the donations to the home. Over the past year, the Lions Club has purchased a television, VCR, portable stereo and other small entertainment items for the facility. Committee plans development diamond has reached the point that it can no longer host the many teams wishing to play. As a result games are having to be played at other diamonds out of town as well as games in town being shortened to allow three games a night instead of the usual two." Mr. Harrison added that this inhibits enjoyment of the game for the players and the fans, as often a game must be stopped after just three innings. Also, soccer was re-introduced a few years ago, but with the age of the players increasing, the need for a bigger field is a concern. "If a second full-sized diamond and soccer field was built it would take the pressure off the existing fields and allow them to be better utilized," said Mr. Harrison. "Ball tournaments would be larg- er with more teams, thus bringing more people to town and with it more business for the local econo- my," he added. "The soccer league would be able to host tournaments with two fields, something they have been unable to do in the past." The committee has set the project to be completed over a period of four to five years. For this reason the total cost can not be exactly determined, Mr. Harrison said, because it is difficult to know prices four years from now. To gather public input a meeting will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 25 in the Brussels Legion auditorium at 8 p.m. Anyone interested in or concerned about the future of sum- mer sports is urged to attend. They talked about what kinds of "Wearable Art" they wanted to make. Ideas included earrings, bracelets, scrunchies, hair wraps, broaches, shirts and hats. The project for that meeting was poinsettia broaches, using pumpkin and grass seeds. At the second meeting there were chips and pop for a snack. For meeting three they tried to decide on a name for the club. Although they didn't agree on one, they did have good ideas. The craft took a lot of time, but when they were done they looked great. They were Christmas shirts with teddy bears on. At the fourth meeting members chose a name, the Handy, Dandy, Nifty, Gifty, Art and Crafty Club, suggested by Crystal Semple. They worked on needlepoint poinsettias. The craft for the fifth meeting was making hair scrunchies. The final meeting of Handy, Dandy, Nifty, Gifty, Art and Crafty Club was Jan. 9. Members planned their Achievement party. Many motions were made before they decided on skits and demonstrations on how to make "Wearable Art". They also made bracelets, earrings and necklaces out of buttons and beads. The Achieve- ment night was held Jan. 16. 4-Hers make wearable art Going, going, gone! It's a home- run! The enthusiasm for baseball, whether softball, fastball or slow- pitch is ever increasing in our com- munities. With so many leagues and so many teams, plus the intro- duction of soccer in recent years, a strain as been placed on Brussels existing facilities. As a result, the Park Recreational Development Committee was formed from representatives of dif- ferent sports groups and service clubs, to study and come up with a solution to the problem. Its recom- mendation is to develop the seven acres purchased by the agricultural society and recreation board. Committee chairperson John Harrison says, "The present ball By Ashley Gropp For the first meeting of Brussels I "Wearable Art" held at the Brussels Library, members elected the officers.

Ruth Bauer was nominated to present the 4-H Awards on Jan. 25 at the Fair Board meeting. Dorothy Steffler introduced the guest speaker, Joan Jacobs. Mrs. Jacobs explained her first involvement with recycling in a group, with Wednesday Morning Group at the United Church. This group started in 1982 and has held a Christmas bazaar for children with inexpensive gifts from recycled items. Her next venture was when she joined a number of volunteers at the 5R's Store in Brussels. Because of her talented ways throughout the years, she was chosen along with Brenda Gilkes to organize ways for items to be recycled at the store. Clothes that have been shrunk are made into stuffed animals, denim, double knits and pantyhose are woven into placemats and mats. This was shown with the items that she displayed. Places and people with new ideas on reusing old articles have helped to keep the waste down at garbage sites. Dorothy Steffler thanked Mrs. Jacobs for her informative speech. A draw for knowing the meaning of 5R's was won by Melody White. It was moved that the meeting for June would be moved to June 7 because of the bus trip on June 14. The roll call was answered with the article you recycle the most. Happy Birthday was sung to members before closing the meeting with lunch. The next meeting will be Feb. 8.
