had the privilege to know and serve.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Homecoming set
for Civic holiday
Continued from page 1
for the event, scheduled for the
Civic Holiday weekend of 1997. A
request had been made for theme
suggestions earlier but no one had
replied, he said. The committee has
set up its own post office box,
1997, to receive suggestions and
other correspondence.
Council gave the committee per-
mission to use the village logo on
its publicity materials and to erect
signs at the entrances to the village
to advertise the homecoming.
Cardiff said the BMG Communi-
ty Centre will provide the main
centre for the homecoming but
main street will also be a focal
point. we want to promote the
town," Cat -!iff said.
Registration will start Thursday
evening, July 31 and the official
activities will end Sunday night,
although other groups may want to
continue events on the holiday
Monday. Local groups will be able
to keep the proceeds of events they
sponsor but the committee wants to
co-ordinate all such activities in
order to keep outside groups from
coming in to take money out of
town, Cardiff said.
Some of the activities being dis-
cussed include a CKNX Barn
Dance in the community hall at
BMG on the Saturday night at the
same time as a '50s-'60s dance is
taking place on the arena floor, a
bdtbecue Saturday; a parade on
Sur1day, followed by a Shriner's
fish fry (the Shriners will bring
their entertaining entries for the
parade), a school reunion and a
fastball tournament.
Dog licence fees increase
The cost of keeping a dog in
Brussels will increase by $2 this
year to help cover the cost of polic-
ing the animals, Brussels council-
lors decided at their Jan. 1 meeting.
Councillors learned that it cost
nearly $2,200 to hire an animal
bylaw enforcement officer and pay
for the cost of housing animals that
weren't later claimed. It cost a fur-
ther $100 for dog tags. By compari-
son, council received just over
$2,000 from the sale of tags.
Reeve Gordon Workman said the
program should pay for itself, given
that government cutbacks are on
the way to make it hard for council
to balance the budget for other
expenses.
It was pointed out licence fees in
Brussels are low compared to many
other municipalities. Councillor Joe
Seili proposed the $2 across-the-
board increase, bringing the cost of
a licence for a male dog to $12 and
a female dog to $14. Rates for mul-
tiple dogs will also increase. The
rate for a kennel or for a pit bull
will not change.
