THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4,1997 Dress up for Homecoming The Brussels Homecoming com­ mittee is encouraging home and business owners to help brighten the village by taking part in the decorating contest. With just two months to go before Brussels officially marks its 125th anniversary, preparations are swinging into high gear. With huge red and white ribbons, donated by Huron Feeding Sys­ tems, Brussels Agromart and Cardiff and Mulvey Real Estate and Insurance Ltd., the committee will be decorating the light stan­ dards along Tumberry street, the arena and ball park. It is hoped residents will be inspired to purchase at least two of the bows to include in their own decorating scheme, says committee member Keith Mulvey. The bows will be available at Just For You, Oldfield Hardware and Brussels Variety, at competi­ tive prices to other party supply outlets, he says. The bows may be purchased ready-made or just the material to create your own. Judging will take place July 15, with the awards presented at the Thursday, July 31, talent show as part of the anniversary celebrations. A plaque from Sunshine Country Consulting and a prize from Mait­ land Manor Nursery will go to the home decorating contest winner and H. Ten Pas Construction will donate a prize for the best business decoration. The Brussels Business Group is helping to support the house deco­ rating contest. Red and white ribbon will also be available for float decorating.

Wawanosh talks lights West Wawanosh council dis­ cussed the possibility of new street lights in Dungannon, at the May 20 meeting. The current lights are outdated, are costly to repair and are not as energy efficient as newer models, councillors said. The cost of the proposed upgrad­ ing would be borne by property owners in the village. The cost would be spread over a couple years, on the tax bill. The Lucknow and District Joint Recreation Board agreement, effec­ tive January, 1998, was passed by council. The following shares will be paid by the participating munici­ palities: West Wawanosh, 21 per cent; Lucknow, 27; Ashfield, 27 and Kinloss, 25. A $1,000 adminis­ tration fee will be paid to the vil­ lage, based on those percentages.
