Council approves plan
COMING EVENTS
at the
BRUSSELS LEGION
Brussels supported the revised
Brussels/Grey restructuring plan at
its Oct. 4 meeting.
A second resolution wa<> passed
asking the county to not introduce
the triple majority vote on the plan
because of the ongoing discussions
with the Town of Seaforth and the
Twps. of McKillop and Tucker
smith with regards to a larger
grouping.
***
A request was received from a
Queen Street resident with regards
to snowblowing on the north side
walk. The homeowner had experi
enced problems in the past with
stones and other debris being
sprayed onto the property and hit
ting the windows.
Councillor Joe Seili noted that
while it would be nice to have a
piece of machinery capable of
doing all the sidewalks in town
properly, it was not an affordable
option.
Councillor Mike Thomas agreed
saying that in some municipalities
residents were expected to keep the
sidewalks in front of their homes
clean.
It was agreed that the situation
will be investigated further once
winter arrives.***
Clerk-Treasurer-Donna White
said the office had been flooded
with requests for the leaf vac.
■ She will contact Don Carter to
see about having the machine in
town for one pickup during the
week before Halloween.***
An invoice was received from a
village resident for damage to a car
which occurred when it hit the pot
holes left from construction on the
county road.
Councillor Greg Wilson admon
ished that signs should have been
up warning of the bumps despite
the fact that they had arrived when
it rained after the work had been
completed. “The bottom line is
there were no signs up and there
should have been.We’re at fault.”
Reeve Ralph Watson countered
that construction signs at the edge
of the village should warn drivers
to proceed cautiously.
Council deferred the matter for
PUC consideration.
***
A resolution petitioning the gov
ernment to re-instate the recreation
grant was endorsed by council.***
A request from Queensbury
Street residents, with regards to the
road’s condition, will be considered
later.
***
Building permits were issued to
Joan Stephenson for a sundeck and
to Robert and Isabelle Wheeler for
a residential addition.
***
A resolution asking for a simpli
fication of the existing farm rebate
process for a more accurate reflec
tion of farm taxes was supported.***
Council also endorsed a resolu
tion asking the province to estab
lish a standard education rate for
commercial properties.

The October meeting of the
Majestic Women’s Institute was
held in the Brussels Library with 20
present. Lucy Hesse, first vice-
president, had charge of the
meeting. She opened with a
reading.
The secretary and treasurer’s
reports were read. Several thank-
you notes were read. The roll call
was answered by naming a
favourite vegetable recipe and
bringing a copy of it.
The FWIO board voted for
Institutes to partner with phone
busters. Canadian consumers lose
approximately $80 million a year to
fraudulent telemarketers.
Phonebusters, established in
1993, is dedicated to educating the
Canadian public about the danger
of con-artists on the phone.
The Majestic WI is giving a
donation to Huronlea to help with
the construction of their pavilion.
Donations were also made to the
Children’s Aid Society and the
Poppy Fund.
The Institute is hosting a soup
and sandwich lunch and card party
on Nov. 3 at noon in the library.
The WI is in charge of the
birthday party at Huronlea on
Tuesday, Nov. 9 at 2 p.m.
On Nov. 10 Majestic WI will be
celebrating its 60th anniversary in
the Brussels Mennonite Church
Hall at 1:30 p.m.
Edna McLellan gave an
interesting talk on vegetarianism -
evolution, revolution or just plain
trendy. This dealt with cost,
preparation, and safety. Lifestyles
are changing, she said, as people
get older they can reduce proteins.
Balance is a key word.
Happy Birthday was sung to Jean
Bell and Ida Evans.

A Note from Betty
Well, are the leftovers finished? For me, they are one of the blessings of a
feast - a turkey, cranberry and dressing sandwich - better than chocolate!
There were lots of family gatherings over the weekend as we continue a
Canadian tradition of over 400 years. As I drove to Kincardine on Saturday
to meet a friend, the fanners continued their fall work and got me thinking
of the blessings we have here in Huron County - excellent soil, good
farmers, topnotch machinery, education, health care, time for leisure and
plentiful food. We have many Thanksgiving days here!
Regan Cardiff Ryter, daughter of Dorene and Uli was baptized at the
United Church on Sunday. She did Grandpa Ross proud as she became the
newest member of the church family.
Thanks to the Maitland Valley Conservation folk for hosting the tribute to
Bruce McCall at our dam. Lloyd Glanville you make good tarts.
Be sure to go to the Mennonite Church this Friday or Saturday to support
the craft sale. This worthwhile venture brings handicrafts from around the
world to our community while getting fair market value back to the maker.
Enjoy the days of autumn.
Bye now,
Betty G.
