Brussels council briefs
Kerrs get approval
Brussels village council decided,
last week, to postpone taking part
in the Ontario Works program, bet-
ter known as workfare, until it gets
more information.
Council was considering working
with the Maitland Valley Conserva-
tion Authority in providing work
for people receiving welfare. The
workfare workers cannot replace
regular workers. Councillors wor-
ried about how much supervision
would be required for the untrained
workers. "Who's going to be the
foreman and provide the supervi-
sion?" wondered Reeve Gordon
Workman.
"I was looking at it as a way of
getting this place cleaned up next
spring (before the Homecoming
celebrations)," said Clerk-Treasurer
Donna White. The MVCA is short
of staff due to government cuts and
doesn't have people to cut the grass
at the Brussels conservation area,
she said. ":f you don't put in an
application I doubt you'll ever get
the riverbanks cleaned up."
The council decided to wait to
get more information before taking
action.
approval for several years until it
w-as proved the property did not
have any hazardous chemicals in
the soil because of its former use as
an industrial site.
The approval means development
can proceed.

The legal costs involved in clos-
ing a section of Walnut St. were
higher than expected. The final cost
was $1,310. Brussels Agromart,
which will receive the land in the
old street allowance, had agreed to
pick up the legal costs.
***
Brussels residents will soon be
able to pay their utility bills and
taxes by telephone or through the
bank machine at the Brussels
branch of the Canadian Imperial
Bank of Commerce. Council
agreed at its Sept. 9 meeting to
enter into an agreement with the
bank to allow customers with tele-
phone banking privileges to use the
service. White noted it will mean
less traffic in the town office giving
staff more time to get work done.
There is no cost to the village for
the service.

Having a cup of coffee in Huron
County could help find a cure for
Alzheimer Disease.
The Alzheimer Society of Huron
County is organizing the first
annual "Coffee Break Day" as part
of World Alzheimer Day activities
on Friday, Sept. 20.
Co-chairs for this event are
society president Fran Hook. of
Egmondville, and vice president
Guy DuBrule, of RR, 5, Goderich.
The idea for the new annual
fundraiser comes • from the
Alzheimer Society of Canada.
Thirty-nine schools, five
hospitals, eight nursing homes and
Royal Canadian Legions in Huron
will participate in the event and
donate their coffee proceeds from
Sept. 20 to the Alzheimer Society.
But the fundraiser isn't limited to
just these institutions.
"If someone ir. the
neighbourhood wanted to have a
coffee break, they could. It's open
to any organization, agency or
community member," says Hook.
Already members of the business
community in Huron have
expressed interest in participating
in the Alzheimer Coffee Break Day
on Sept. 20.
Because this is a new event, the
society didn't set a fundraising goal
for the first year. "We don't know
what kind of reception it'll get."
