They have also learned the colours yellow, red, blue, orange, green, purple, white, black, pink and grey. They have learned addition and can count to 100. They also know the alphabet. When they are inside, they like to make crafts, especially rabbit Continued from page 19 be rezoned residential industrial, said Weber. Owner of the lots, Brian Kelling- ton said the lots are too wet, would not take a lot of housing and are now just being wasted. Parking his truck would not spoil the neigh- bourhood. He is in the process of cleaning up the land. Several in attendance were con- cerned about the possibility of a rezoning, saying it is not wanted by neighbours, other lots will not sell and it will result in a lack of control over future uses. Kellington said he bought the lot March 27 because no one wanted trucks on the street. Council agreed to keep the origi- nal wording of the bylaw and add that the use must be accessory to the permitted use. The amended wording was pre- sented at the April 14 meeting along with a draft copy regarding heads, playing -in the doll house, playing in their house where they get to dress up and make fake food, playing in the store, working at the computer, playing at the sand table and playing with the playdough. When they are outside, they like to make sand castles, playing "Duck, Duck, Goose", and playing on the jungle gym and the slide. Matthew Cottrill says, "I like the whirly bird because it goes so fast".

After review by petitioners, the amend- ment will be considered at the April 21 meeting. In other zoning matters, Cameron Yuill was on hand to object to the regulations regarding exotic ani- mals in urban areas. Council informed him that he would not be affected by the bylaw because exotic animals were already kept on his property. The owners of Lot 3, Plan 161, sought council's permission for a craft shop in their residence. Council said this would be allowed as long as the floor space for the shop did not exceed 25 per cent of the building. A bylaw was passed to rezone a portion of Lot 7-10, Conc. 1 and parts of Lots 5, 6, and 11, Conc. 1 to village industrial-special provi- sions and restricted agriculture. A 20-day appeal period begins with mailing of notices. By Chad Sommerville-Barlow and Chrissy Mason On Friday, April 17, it was "PJ Day" at Brussels Public School!
