Huron East briefs
FROM BRUSSELS
At the Branch
Many
enjoy
Friday
supper
By Jo-Ann McDonald
Much has happened in the past
two weeks at the Brussels Legion
Branch.
Friday night supper of sausage and
scalloped potatoes was delicious and
well attended on a very hot Friday,
June 29. Last week turkey casserole
was also very good and this week is
barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs
with salads.
On July 1 the fish crew went to
Lucknow to celebrate Canada Day
and fry fish for the over 200 people
who celebrated at the Lucknow
Legion. It was a great afternoon
although a little cool and breezy.
The Brussels Legion crew is avail-
able to do fish frys. You can call the
Branch for details. Our own fish fry
is July 21 from 5 - 7 p.m.
Comrade Alf Sutton is in Listowel
hospital. We wish him a speedy
recovery. Also Comrade Donald
Dunbar is coping with his health
problems and our best wishes go out
to him.
Euchre was .held on Saturday with
12 tables at play. The lucky winners
were Carmen and Ila Pollock.
Second place went to Stuart and Lois
Chamney and third place went to
John and Iola Subject. Mabel
Coultes and Jim Smith were the
lucky lone hand winners.
The Sunday night singles dance
enjoyed the music of the Blue
Diamond Trio and our beautiful new
dance floor. Certainly no dance wax
was needed because it was wonder-
ful So dance on. Dances are every
two weeks.
Our elimination draw being held
in September is in the full planning
stages for entertainment and of
course the tickets are available from
-Branch members.
There are no general meetings in
July and August, but the executive
will meet to carry on the regular run-
ning of the Branch business.
Don't forget breakfast is this
weekend, so let's- see you drop into
the Branch.

PUC director John Forrester came
under fire by McKillop Councillors
Sharon McClure and Ferg Kelly.
The councillors asked Forrester why
there were not any public works
employees in the ward.
Forrester said the employees are
busy working on other projects in
other wards. All the work in
McKillop was done for now, he said.
McClure and Kelly said they want-
ed continued visibility of municipal
employees, as there were two before-
amalgamation and now there don't-
seem to be any.
"We are just trying to get our slice
of the pie," McClure said.
*** •
Council has reached a contract
with the police. The contract will
service all areas of Huron East for
less than previously expected.
***
Kelly and McClure recommended
to council that covers be put on all
liquid manure tanks. The council is
giving recommendations to the coun-
ty on nutrient management.
McKillop residents have put cov-
ers on liquid manure pits for many
years, McClure said. Covering
manure tanks decreases the odour
and the risk of overflow, Kelly said.
***
Ethel seasonal resident John
Schroeder made a presentation to
council on worm pickers. Schroeder,
who is a permanent resident in
Waterloo, asked council to ban worm
picking 1,000 feet from private
homes for safety reasons.
Wormpickers invade residents' pri-
vacy, Schroeder said.
Deputy-Mayor Bernie MacLellan
said restricting worm picking would
hinder an agricultural practice.
McClure asked Schroeder who
would enforce such a bylaw in the
middle of the night.
Council will look into the issue.
Mischief
done
to car
On July 3 just before 4 p.m.
Huron OPP officers were called to
McCutcheon Motors on Turnberry
Street in Brussels over vehicle dam-
age.
An employee said that sometime
between June 30 and July 2 a per-
son entered the car dealership lot
and threw an object through the dri-
ver's window of a beige 1997
Thunderbird.
Any person who can help officers
solve this crime is asked to call the
Huron OPP or Crime Stoppers at 1 -
800-8477(TIPS).
Don't you just love summer days —
a little less structure to life, and time
to do things not in the usual routine —
a visit with Auntie, a spontaneous
picnic, a quick trip to the beach, a
walk in the garden and time to smell
the roses (while picking the bugs and
weeds at the same time of course.
Life is good.
Part of the volunteer duties with
St. John Ambulance involve area
motocross races and matinee per-
formances at the Blyth Festival.
Each of these are like a yearly
reunion as you see friends from past
performances as well as your other
lives. So at this week's show I caught
up with friends from Oliphant as
well as my Uncle and Aunt Jenkins
from Bayfield. Good day as well as
seeing a good show. If you like a few
surprise laughs see The Passion of
Narcisse Mondoux.
Summer parties, weddings and
reunions continue in our community
as we renew friendships, relive sto-
ries and share new plans. The camp-
sites are bustling as families and
friends take the easy life of swim-
ming and fishing to new heights — a
tent, a suit — not a three-piece one —
and a pole are all that's needed. So
get your work done and enjoy your
holiday time doing what you love.
