Future of Brussels hotel uncertain
FROM BRUSSELS
. Just in case you had forgotten and
thought you ruled the world, Mother
Nature thought a different thought
and sent forth a reminder. The power
of the wind and the speed of the rain
were very well shown in several
spots in our community. Each person
had their own July 17 story to tell
and each one is told with awe and
wonder. Trees and branches tossed,
articles found in strange places or
not at all and the arrival of water in
varying amounts. It was a time to
just wonder.
The Gowing/Wheeler crew should
be back in Ontario. Sister Nancy and
Bruce Corrigan who live in Great
Village, Nova Scotia had invited
mother Betty Gowing and all the
descendants to their adopted
province to celebrate Becky's
wedding. Rosemary and Dave
picked up older sister Thelma from
Kemptville to join the western
Ontario entourage to let Nova Scotia
folks that the Gowing clan know
how to celebrate. I'm sure they will
have good stories to tell.
This is Kid's Corner week. If you
have a free afternoon, stop by and
join the fun with loads of
enthusiastic kids laughing, learning
and singing. Each afternoon is
special so take the grandchildren,
even if Thursday is your first day this
year. It's a good way to spend an
afternoon.
- Hello Betty Shaw. We're thinking
about you. Hope the hospital staff

It's an uncertain future for the last
hotel in Brussels.
Last week, fencing went up at the
back of the old Brussels Country.
Inn, which has sat vacant for a
number of years. According to
Huron East's chief building official
Paul Josling, the plan of the new
owner is to gut the interior. After that
it's anyone's guess, as, he said, the
building is no longer safe to enter.
Josling first discovered there was a
problem awhile ago, when an
individual was interested in
purchasing it, so he went in to have
a look.
"The inside is unbelievable," said
are treating you well and the
mysteries of the human body are
revealed. We're keeping a close eye
on Harvey and that's a tough job to
do.
The wonders of our world are
everywhere. My favourites for this
month are the field of sunflowers on
the west end of Ethel; the commuter
parking sign at the restaurant on 86
at Morrisbank and the fields of flax
east of Conn. This is one wonderful
world.
Enjoy the rest of the month.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
Josling. The whole interior is black
with mold. It's not safe."
The CBO said the ceiling tile in
the old bar room is entirely black
and the appliances in the kitchen
were barely recognizable. "You
really couldn't tell what they were.
They are just crawling with mold."
Molds are microscopic organisins
that are found virtually everywhere
and which have been around forever,
but it in the past few years it has
been connected to health problems.
Certain respiratory problems have
been linked specifically to indoor
mold. It is when the spores become
airborne that there is the potential
for health risk.
For some people it can only take a
few mold spores to become ill.
Therefore exposure to large
amounts, such as those in the once
thriving hotel is considered
unhealthy.
With the plan for now being to gut
the interior, Josling said they will
have to wait until it's complete to see
how extensive the damage is. "We
will have to assess it then. At this
point, I don't know if they can even
;salvage the building."
Josling said that while the work is
being done, there should be no
danger to anyone passing nearby.
"But I wouldn't be around there
when they're dumping the stuff into
the bins outside."
Once one of five hotels in the
village, the old American Hotel, as it
was known in the 1800s, survived
much longer than its counterparts.
Though it sat empty for a time the
hotel was brought back to life again
in the late 1980s, then under new
ownership in 1992 underwent
extensive remodelling.
It has, however, been closed for
the past several years.
