PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1996
There may be a change of tradi-
tion for the Brussels Fall Fair in
1996, after a suggestion from the
fair board came before the Brussels
Morris Grey Community Centre
Board of Recreation, Jan, 10.
It was suggested by Dorothy
Cummings of the Fair board, that
the fall fair be held on Friday, Sept.
20 and Saturday, Sept. 21 instead
of the usual weekdays.
The Recreation Board will for-
ward two options to the Fair board
regarding a weekend fair. There
will be a rental fee of $360 plus
taxes.for the event or no fee, but
Clarification
To clarify a story in the Jan. 17
issue of The Citizen, the board
referred to in Brussels area fears
health unit closure, was the volun-
teer board of the Brussels Medi-
cal/Dental Clinic, which oversees
the rental of the building.
The Huron County Health Unit
rents space on the lower level for
the Brussels branch office.
the BMG Rec Board will sponsor a
liquor/beer area on the arena floor.
The weekday event had been
rent-free.
Members of the Fair board will
be invited to the next rec meeting
to discuss the options.
In discussions regarding fund-
raising efforts, the board will co-
host the Feb. 10 Valentines Dance
with the Brussels Optimists Club

People
Not only did their snowmobiling
trek run into freezing rain and a
blown piston, but a group of winter
enthusiasts from the Brussels area
were stranded at Wasaga Beach
when trail conditions turned poor
due to mild temperatures.
Nine snowmobilers took off from
Moms get time out
Need to get away from your
house, talk to other mothers of
young children who are going
through similar things?
Come to "Time Out For Moms"
at the Brussels Health Unit office
the second Thursday of every
month from 10:30 - 12 noon.
This group was organized by
local mothers of young children
(newborn to five years) and Connie
Kuc, public health nurse with the
Huron County Health Unit. It is
ongoing with the mothers who
attend the group deciding which
topics they want discussed. Some
of the topics have been: discipline,
safety, feeding issues, toy lending
libraries, stress management and
parent support.
Topics for this year are: caring
for the sick child, criticism by other
people, going back to work and
isolation.
Kuc says mothers who have
attended, "Time Out For Moms"
are pleased that such groups exist
in their community." Some
comments they hive made are: how
helpful it is to talk to other mothers
with children the same age, how
much they need to get out of the
house, share ideas and to make new
friends.
For more information call Kuc at
the Health Unit at 887-9331.

north of Bracebridge, then home

Having reached Baysville by the
second day, the group decided to
stop because of freezing rain, says
trekker, Ann McKercher of RR2,
Bluevale.
Soon reports of impending mild
weather began to arrive and with
several lakes to cross on the trip
home, the snowmobilers turned
south again on the third day.
By Jan. 18, back in Wasaga
Beach, a lot of open water started
to appear and one machine was dis-
abled with a blown piston, says
McKercher.
A rescue call went in to a friend
with a 12-passenger van and the
riders were returned to Brussels.
Six men hooked up trailers and
headed back to Wasaga Beach Fri-
day, to retrieve the abandoned
machines along with the one being
repaired by a local dealer.
While there, a storm blew
through the southern Georgian Bay
area, delaying the men's return until
Saturday, she says.
