On Friday, May 19, Grades 1
through 6 participated in Jump
Rope for Heart. The amount of
money they raised to date is
approximately $1,600. This money
is going to the Heart and Stroke
Foundation. The student organizers
were Eileen Exel, Katie Clark and
the Brussels PS Skipping Team.
Mr. Kemp compliments them on
their excellent organizational skills.
Announcements were made
every morning on the PA to remind
students to bring proper footwear,
sunscreen and skipping ropes.
Music and refreshments were
provided.
Special thanks goes to the
Parents Association and Mrs.
Pepper, Mrs. Cardiff, and Mrs.
Snyder.
Two weeks of preparation were
put into this afternoon of fun. The
skipping lasted from 2 p.m. to 3:15
p.m. Eileen Exel and Katie Clark
said it was exceptionally
successful. Around 68 people
joined in the fun. There were seven
groups of skippers.
The Grade 7/8s had their last
Tech 21 session on Friday, May 19.
There will be a draw at the end of
the year for a $100 prize. Every
time we went to Tech 21, four
people were chosen to be eligible
for the $100. On Friday, the people
selected were Sarah Seeds,
Amanda Leger, Richard Haskins,
and Terry Nichol. At noon we had
lunch outdoors, instead of going to
an empty classroom as usual.
Mr. Martens, from Tech 21,
came to our school to give a
presentation for the Grade 6s. We
talked to four students who were
present at the demonstration. They
remarked that it sounded
interesting, especially different
designs and modules. Elizabeth
Ross said that she could hardly
wait until next year to go!
Our school is being renovated.
The school office has a new
location at the west end of the
school, with the new library and
new staff room. The office is
supposedly stationed there for the
rest of the school year. The library
which has been occupying the
gymnasium, will be moving
eventually into the new library.

Bacteria, subject of meeting
The Brussels, Morris and Grey
Diabetes project held its May
meeting in the Medical/Dental
Centre with 16 people present. Co-
ordinator Nelva Scott welcomed
those present.
Discussion followed regarding
summer meetings. Those wishing
to meet in the summer in one form
or another should so indicate by
calling Nelva.
Madeline Steiss, chairperson of
resources, had many new Canadian
Diabetic Association handouts. The
June supper meeting at the Brussels
United Church was discussed.
Volunteers were needed and many
responded.
Menu and meal plans were
distributed, completed and
returned. Those people who did not
make the meeting will be contacted
by mail or phone to complete this
form if they wish to attend. These
must be completed and returned
before June 1.
Betty Graber RN helped anyone
wishing to use the monitor to test
their blood or blood pressure prior
to the meeting before refreshments.
Marguerite Thomas RN
introduced guest speaker, Bob
Worsell, public health inspector,
who gave some very interesting
facts using the overhead and
specimens.
There are 2.2 million cases of
food poisoning each year at the cost
to Canadians of $1.2 billion. He
said everyone is at risk, but
especially the elderly and young.
The three main organisms are
bacteria, viruses and parasites. He
chose bacteria and his main study
saying bacteria live in humans in
their mouth, nose and intestinal
tract. When bacteria gets in places
where they shouldn't be, there is
trouble.
Bacteria needs warmth, moisture,
time, pH and nutrients to grow. If
one is eliminated they can't grow.
Some micro-organisms can
double in 15 minutes if conditions
are right. Most die off with heat.
Remember: KEEP HOT THINGS
HOT AND COLD THINGS COLD
AND WASH YOUR HANDS.
The danger zone for the growth
of bacteria is between 40°F and
140°F.
Examples of hazardous food
products are poultry, beef, custards
and rice.
