The Royal Canadian Legion
came to our school to videotape
Grades Kindergarten, 4 and 8. They
videotaped information like name,
age, grade, teacher and how we get
to school.
The school's advisory council
purchased a new "used" trumpet, a
new clarinet, and a used baritone
for our band. We will use these
instruments with great care.
Last week our school had two
fire drills. Mr. Kemp said our
evacuation was speedy. It only took
40 seconds.
Some classes are studying leaves
and Kyle Gibson said that painting
leaves was fun. Jill Johnston said
she was learning a lot.
Mr. Kemp took the kindergartens
on a hike into the wild exotic area
of BPS. The found all kinds of
insects and plants, not to mention
burrs in their hair.
Mrs. Uhlers' class went to
Huronlea to entertain the citizens.

Our head check last week
indicated our school community is
Gerry Wheeler and Paul Mutter
on behalf of the Homecoming com-
mittee attended the Oct. 7 meeting
of Brussels council to discuss the
idea of getting new town signs.
Wheeler said that purchasing
signs for the village limits from
funds raised through 125th anniver-
sary celebration was just one idea
that the committee had discussed.
"Unfortunately, though we hope to
have enough money to pay for the
signs after that weekend, we can't
commit to it. At the same time it
would be nice to have them up
before then," said Wheeler.
Councillors mentioned some
other ideas where the money could
perhaps be spent. "If council has a
project that they would prefer to
see done instead of new signs,
please let us know," said Wheeler.
Basically we just wanted to let you
know that planning is well on its
way for the weekend. We're trying
to help every group make some
money."

Clerk-Treasurer Donna White
told council that interest in the his-
tory book has been positive. She
wondered if council felt they
should order 1,500 books rather
than 1,000 as originally planned.
Reeve Gord Workman, however,
felt that it was better to run out than
to have any extras left. "It's better
to have them all sold than sitting
there," he said.
***
A second notice is being sent to
Allan Knight regarding a trailer at
the north end of the village, which
has been used as a hangout for
some local youths. Councillor Joe
Seili offered to look into the loca-
tion of a "trailer bone yard", where
it might be taken.
***
A request for a streetlight on
Smith Lane was turned down by
council, though they did agree to
trim the trees in the hopes it might
improve the situation.
Darryl Smith had asked for the
light at the south end of Kerr
Apartments. Councillor Greg Wil-
son felt the problem was not a vil-
lage one. "It's not up to us to
brighten their building. You're talk-
ing 52-3,000 to install it."
It was decided that as some of the
leaves are blocking the light that is
located at the corner, removal
would help the situation somewhat.

Clerk Lori Pipe that her position

beginning to win in the Battle of
the Louse. There were several pest-
free classes. The school advisory

effort from everyone to eliminate
the problem. The next head check
will be on Oct. 21.

school's early reading support
group, STAR, A workshop for the
adult volunteers in the program is

Mr. Bob McCall held a kick-off
assembly for the Partners in
Excellence Readathon. We hope to

materials for all grades. The

Mrs. Julie Harrison and Mr.
Kemp attended a School Advisory
Council Workshop in Clinton on
Tuesday afternoon.
