Rec board to apply for JEPP grant thief Thanks to the efforts of staff at a local business, Huron OPP officers were able to quickly solve a recent theft. According to OPP on Aug. 7 at 3:15 p.m. officers were called to JR's Gas station in Brussels over the theft of cash. While the attendant was busy at the gas pumps a man entered the gas bar and stole cash from the cash register at the Turnberry Street business. The man was described as white, of medium build and approximately 5'8" tall. He has a moustache and brown hair, combed back. Sr. Const. Don Shropshall said that at 1 p.m. on Monday, polcie arrested a 32-year-old Hullett Twp. man with theft under $5,000. He will appear in court Oct. 19 in Wingham. Schropshall said that the accused has paid back most of the money taken. “We want to thank the staff of JR’s for their assistance and co-operation through the whole event,” said Shropshall. “They really did work hard, helping the officer, which ulti­ mately led to an arrest." At the Aug. 9 meeting of the Brussels, Morris and Grey Rec board, Secretary-Treasurer Shelly Pryce read a letter she received from Grey Twp. council advising the board of the following resolution passed at their regular meeting, July 31. It stated that Grey is supportive of a JEPP grant application submis­ sion by the Village of Brussels for a generator at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre with the municipal share of the project form­ ing part of the 2001 budget of the BMG Community Centre. The board reviewed a letter that was received from Brussels council saying that a representative from Somers Generators would visit the arena on Aug. Il at 10 a.m. to pro­ vide a written quote outlining what it would cost to supply and install a generator of sufficient size for the BM&G Community Centre. The let­ ter also advised the board of the fol­ lowing resolution that was passed by the council supporting the submis­ sion under the JEPP program. It was the consensus of the board to obtain the cost of the generator and the installation costs. Pryce was instructed to advise the three coun­ cils and the recreation board mem- A message from Lee at Huronlea board has decided to host a called Septemberfest. The will have an Octoberfest and it will be held at the Morris and Grey bers regarding the costs of the gener­ ator and the installation costs of the generator as soon as possible. The dance dance theme Brussels Community Centre on Sept. 23 from 9 p.m. - I a.m. Abi Corbett discussed several pool-related issues. The pool staff has their WHIM1S training. It only cost $80 instead of $245. There are extra books so the arena staff can be trained as well. The chlorinator is working well. The pool staff has raised approxi­ mately $500 for the pool heater. Arena Manager Murray McArter indicated that Wescast has booked the auditorium at the arena on Nov. 25. The board decided to cancel the Business Christmas this year. Arrangements for the Huron County Men's Fastball Playoff Tournament to be held in Brussels on Aug. 19 and 20 were discussed. McArter advised the board of a mishap at the Brussels Ball park recently. He indicated that the clean­ out for the sewers at the ball park where the new playground equip- ment is going got broken and stone went into the clean-out. This caused the toilets to back-up and a lot of water to overflow. A backhoe and eventually a fire truck had to be used to blow the stone out. When all the invoices for this have been received the board will discuss who is liable. Mary Stretton said that a com­ plaint from the health unit regarding the bathrooms at the ball park was received. McArter and some board members said that the bathrooms were always clean with lots of tow­ els anytime that they have been in. McArter asked the board's permis­ sion to obtain prices regarding spray­ ing the sink holes where the drains are in rhe parking lot at the arena. Chairman Alvin McLellan advised the board that Pryce has accepted a new full-time position with the Municipality of Central Huron as of Jan. I, 2001.

She stretched, got out of bed and stubbed her toe on a footstool that had no business being there. She broke a shoelace on her new sneak­ ers. “They just don't know how to make anything anymore,” she mut­ tered. She walked down the hall to the dining room for breakfast. A nurse smiled at her and said “Good morn­ ing, dear”. Rhonda glared and said “My name is Rhonda - not Dear!” to which the nurse replied, "Sorry, Dear”. In the dining room her good friend Martha greeted her with a smile and Septemberfest is coming to Brussels Get practised up for Octoberfest At the Brussels Morris & Grey Community Centre Saturday, September 23rd, 2000 9:00 p.m. - 1:00 a.m. Dancing to German music by D.J.

Rhonda ran out of the dining room (well not ran, walked) saying “cor­ rection, I’m not going to bed - I'm going under it! I hate storms!” Of course she wasn’t mobile enough to get under the bed so she sat in her armchair and sulked. She tried counting to 100 in French but got stuck at’50. Maybe a song would help. She sang “oh Dear, what can the matter be, three old maids locked in the ...” She recited "the quality of mercy” speech from Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. When she had finished it she looked out the win­ dow and wonder of wonders the sun was shining and the beautiful phlox flowers were glistening with rain­ drops. She left the room smiling and said to a passing nurse, “Good morning, Dear, isn't it one lovely day!” How did it change? If you know, don’t tell me - tell Rhonda the Resident! 9 tables at euchre Brussels Country Inn At the Branch By JoAnn McDonald With two weeks passing, there’s been a few things at the Branch. Euchre on Aug. 5 had nine tables in play. The lucky pair of Eileen Sellers and Marie Stewart took first place honours, while only one point behind was Tim Ddworth and Vi Howes. Just one point behind them to finish in the third place spot were Stewart and Lois Chamney. The lucky lone hand winners were Harvey Edgar for the men and I rima Edgar for the ladies. The sandwiches were served up by hostesses Leona and Marg. The singles dance crowd of 100 enjoyed the music of the Tiffin Family Band and look forward to hearing the Country Versatiles next time.
