The Citizen, 1997-09-03, Page 9Shutter Bugs learn tricks
Aug. 7 from 6:30 until 9 p.m., the
Ethel 4-H Shutter Bugs learned the
tricks in photography.
After Lorraine Blake got the
students going with the 4-H pledge
and Michelle Dewit read the
minutes, they went over a lot of
information about special "FX".
The students learned that P.T.
Barnum was the man who started
the Barnum and Bailey Circus.
Bantam Girls
end season
The Brussels Bantam Girls
combined with the Belgrave
Bantam Girls to form one team this
year. They were helped throughout
the season by two players from the
Bluevale area, Cathy Adams and
Lori Bridge, who had played the
previous season.
This combination worked very
well,said Coach Elwin Garland.
Throughout the season the girls
played consistent softball. As a
result of their work they placed
third in the northern division of Tri
County and fifth overall.
The results allowed them to enter
the A division playoffs against
Gowanstown. They split the first
two games and in the last game of
the best of three series were edged
out in a 3 - 2 ball game.
"Despite the final result the girls
played fine softball/' said Garland.
Special thanks to the PeeWee girls
who played for the Bantams during
the season. These included Laura
Meier, Vickie Black, Jody Semple,
Nicole Mastnak and Lisa Black.
Crusaders
on leave
The Brussels Crusaders, four
time Senior A Champions, have
taken a one-year leave of absence
from the WO A A hockey program.
The decision, made within hours
of the scheduling deadline, was
based on the uncertainty of the
number of players willing to
commit to the Crusaders.
Last season the Crusaders were
forced to cancel a game at the bus
stop due to a shortage of players
and played several games below or
with the league minimum of skaters
allowed, including two playoff trips
to Wiarton with 10 bodies.
Finances were not an issue as
travel expenses would have been
greatly reduced due to the
geographic realignment of the
league for regular schedule.
Brussels would have played in the
West Division with Mildmay,
Teeswater, Lucknow, Ripley,
Goderich, Clinton, Milverton,
Wellesley and Tavistock.
New leader

Canadians, AYOP, Elmira Fair,
London Fair and many years in
Little Miss Oktoberfest which she
won at the age of eight.
She is now a member of the
Schwaben Dancers in Kitchener
and continues to perform through
out southern Ontario. —
Lotrijan is a recent graduate from
Ryerson University in Toronto with
a Bachelor of Technology in
Architectural Science. She is
currently looking for work in
project management. She is
working presently to open a small
business in Virtual Architecture.
The Wingham Canadettes are
very fortunate to have acquired
someone with such a wide variety
of expertise and are looking
forward to a very exciting year.
Barnum said that "you could fooi
all of the people some of the time
and some of the people all of the
time." For all those people who
have a camera, here's your chance!
Fancy equipment is not necessary
to take trick pictures, the 4-H
students found out, just an active
imagination and an understanding
of perspective.
The students had a chance to go
out around the Grey Twp. shed to
try out what they learned with their
cameras. For example, they had
someone "crush" a building with
his/her foot, had someone lie on the
sidewalk and "climb" a rope up the
side of a building.
The leaders got a kick out of
watching the students try their
creative ideas.
If anyone is interested in seeing
the 4-H students pictures, come to
the Brussels fall fair where they
will be proudly displayed.
BE ON THE LOOK OUT...
School's back in session and
in the excitement of the new
school year, many school-age
children, especially the
young ones, may forget to
look both ways when
crossing the street or exiting
the school bus.
That leaves it up to you as a
driver, to be extra careful
around schoolyards, neigh
bourhood play areas, and
departing school buses.
So remember...when you see
yellow, be sure to see red - as
in red alert. Let's all slow
down and give our children
the chance they deserve.
CODE OF CONDUCT FOR STUDENTS
1. Arrive at your pick-up point on time. Bus
scheduling is such that the drivers cannot wait for
pupils who are late.
2. Take you seat promptly and remain seated until
you arrive at your destination, unless otherwise
directed by your driver.
3. Hold books and lunch boxes on your lap or on the

5. Keep your arms and head inside the vehicle at all
times.
6. Never interfere with emergency doors/exits or any

7. Unnecessary disturbances (opening of windows,
