Music review
Local teens enjoy night of Battle
By Matt Kroll and Amber Park
Grade Is have been busy
working together to make "Earth"
people. In gym class they are
playing soccer. In music they are
singing songs and using actions at
the same time.
in gym class Grade 2s have
started working on track and field
skills.
Melissa Kroll was a very lucky
girl this week. She won a BMX
bike!
In math the Grade 3 class is
learning fractions. In gym they are
playing kickball. It's like baseball
only you kick the ball. In art class
they enjoyed making swans and
other birds out of origami paper.
This is a form of Chinese art. In
their classroom, they have an eco-
system. This involves tadpoles!
In gym, Grade 4s have been
playing soccer, floor hockey, and
started running for track and field.

Concerns from some Grey Twp.
residents may impact plans for the
Burgess Street development in
Brussels.
Village councillors were told at
their Monday night meeting that
Grey residents residing on Burgess
Street were concerned about the
charge for water service they would
be required to pay with the installa-
tion of a sanitary sewer on the
street. Grey was going to pick up
the entire cost of the sewer, while
Brussels would pay for a portion of
the street, which it owns.
Clerk-Treasurer Donna White
said that one consideration Grey
was giving to the project was to
In math they have been dividing,
and using multiplication skills.
Also, they are continuing their
study of Canada.
In music class Grade 5s have
been playing the recorders. They
can play two songs. They are
getting ready to play instruments
for next year. They have also been
practising their track and field
centres.
In language arts Grade 6/7
students have been writing poems
and stories. In reading buddies they
are writing poems with them. In
math they have been making charts
and graphs.
Grade 8s got their graduation
pictures taken on May 1. The
Grade 8s are getting really excited
to graduate. Everyone in Grade 7
and 8 can't wait to go to Quebec on
Tuesday, May 5. In math we have
been working in centres on ratios
proceed with the roadwork but only
do the sewer portion in the block
extending from Queensbury Street
north to William. That would leave
one block without.
Another option is to forego any
sanitary sewer.
Councillor Joe Seili said he
would have no problem proceeding
with the roadwork, but anytime in
the future if Grey needed to put in
sanitary sewers the cost would be
entirely Grey's.
Councillor Greg Wilson said that
if that happened Brussels isn't
responsible because they do not
have to provide anything to Grey
residents.
They agreed to leave the decision
with Grey council, but Wilson and
Seili stressed that if Grey decided
to proceed with the road, "it would
not be dug up in a few years".

The concert was well done!
Congratulations! On behalf of the-
staff and school we'd like to thank
Mrs. Regier, Mrs. Whyte, Mr..
Morton, Mr. Teal and Ms
MacDonald for their excellent
creativity, and team work to
establish the concert to a great
success.

class gets told a book clue
everyday. If they get the correct
answer they cross the Bingo card.
When the cards have an "X" the

The doors opened, the music
began and teens had a rare opportu-
nity to attend a concert close to
home.
Last Friday night, thanks to the
efforts of some local teens and the
Brussels Optimists, Face Plant '98
was held at the BMG Community
Centre. Featuring two bands from
Madill and two from outside com-
munities, the well-run function was
organized and without mishap,
though there was one slight-distur-
bance later in the evening, which
was quickly controlled by the Opti-
mists.
The music began %vith Lyco
Podium, comprised of Thomas Ire-
land, Nicole Waechter and Troy
Dore from the Teeswater area.
Then from Markdale/Flesherton
..as South Paw, followed by IDK
from Goderich. The final band was
the brains behind Face Plant, Per-
ish, featuring Joshua Gropp and
Rob McKercher of Brussels, Shaun
Scott of Teeswater and part-time
vocalist Tim Mulvey of Belmore.
They played 16 songs and some
requests. McKercher was working
so hard on the drums that the steam
was rising off him.
I feel Face Plant was a great idea,
because it gave teens a chance to
get together and mosh or dance to
good music. There were about 250
kids there, who behaved admirably.
Profits from the dance are being
given to charity.
It is hoped that Face Plant will
become an annual event.
