Receiving an honour
It was a humble Neil McGavin who accepted the Brussels
Citizen of the Year award from The Citizen representative
Sheila Richards, Nov. 1, at Duff's United Church.
McGavin thanked his family, particularly his wife, Marie,
for the great life he has had, saying some thought it was
Marie who should receive the honour.

On Thursday, Oct. 15 the
Majestic Women's Institute held its
monthly meeting.
President Edna McLellan opened
the meeting with a reading.
Jane White, one of the
agriculture convenors, introduced a
well known businessman in the
community, who with his wife is
also a garlic farmer.
Doug and Corrie Sholdice's
theme for 1999 is "Garlic Breath is
Fashionable". He said they started
with a row of garlic in the garden
and have now grown to planting 20
acres. The cloves of garlic are
planted three inches deep, five
inches apart and in 30 inch rows.
This summer Doug built a planter
that will drop the cloves and cover
them with soil. The planting is
done in the fall and harvesting
takes place in July to August.
Garlic is ready to dig up when
most of its foliage has turned
yellow.
For large amounts there is a plant
in St. Marys where it is set up to
cure in large bins by forcing air
into the crates.
Garlic prefers high phosphorus
and nitrogen content, boron and
copper sulphate also agree with
garlic.
Sulfur-containing chemicals give
garlic its unmistakable smell and
flavour. Garlic contains Allicin and
diallyl disulfide which are
produced from a chemical called
alliin, when garlic is crushed,
bruised or cut. These compounds
account for many of garlics
reported health benefits. When the
odour is removed the sulphur
compounds that have the medicinal
properties are also removed. 900
lbs./acre is the rate at which it is
planted. Doug said 90 per cent of
garlic here is imported.
Weed control is a must. Some of

the diseases that play havoc with
garlic are onion maggots and wire
worms.
In early summer, "seed scapes"
must be removed and thus the bulb
will continue to grow. These scapes
need to be removed by hand,
making for a very labourious time.
These scapes can be Used in salads
and stir fries.
When storing garlic it is
recommended to store in a window
sill or a clay garlic pot, not in the
fridge as the cold temperature tells
the garlic to take root and therefore
it starts to grow.
It has been found that garlic is a
natural mosquito repellent.
Following the presentation
Secretary Kathy Bridge read the
minutes of the September meeting.
The treasurer's report was given by
Edna McLellan for Jean Bell.
Several letters are to be mailed to
the Avon Maitland School Board in
regards to the possible school
closures.
A calendar of upcoming events
from the Huron Historical Society
was read.
A donation will be made to the
Grey Central Public School
playground project.
Kathy Bridge also stated that she
had IGA tapes to be taken in, this is
to go toward the purchase of a
dehumidifier.
A soup and sandwich euchre will
be held on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at
noon.
Kathy Bridge gave a report of the
County Rally.

The new year will bring bag tags
for users of the Morris Twp. land-
fill.
Councils of Mon-is and Brussels
attended a meeting Oct. 29 to dis-
cuss the implementation of a bag
tag program, which is meant to
control the amount of waste com-
ing into the landfill, extending its
life and creating a user-pay system.
Start up date is Jan. 1, 1999.
Don Carter was present to answer
questions for councillors and
clerks. He said that there has been a
significant reduction in the amount
of garbage generated in other
municipalities that have imple-
mented a bag tag system.
The price per bag will be $1.
They will carry the name Township
of Morris/Village of Brussels in
black lettering on a white back-
ground.

The Citizens on Patrol (COP) is
gaining momentum in Brussels.
On Nov. 10 a business luncheon
has been scheduled with Tim West
of the Bayfield COP program as
guest speaker.
Councillor Mary Stretton told
Brussels council at the Nov. 2
meeting, that she has received
donations from local businesses,

standard size bag. Two tags will be
needed for the large orange leaf
size bags. Additional stickers will
be required on large item pick up,
with criteria worked out prior to the
event. For example, a sofa may
require three stickers and a TV one.
Any bag without a sticker will
not be picked up.
What it means for the municipali-
ty is that the charge on taxes will be
removed. The cost of curb side
pickup and the recycling program
will be included in the municipal
levy beginning in 1999.
The program will be reviewed in
six months to evaluate the progress.
Brussels councillors agreed that
there may be some people who try
to sneak their regular garbage into
the village dump. Councillor Greg
Wilson suggested that the gate be
locked and the dump opened for
only a few hours on Saturday with
someone hired to sit at the site.
A public meeting will be held for
Brussels residents in the future.

while G&M Auto Parts donated

A public meeting will be held
following the business lunch to
educate the volunteers.
