Crowds flock to Brussels'
135th anniversary weekend
-Susan Hundertmark
With crowds flocking to each of the
events that packed the weekend during
the Brussels' 135th anniversary,
organizers are guessing as many as
8,000 to 10,000 came home to the
Brussels homecoming.
"It Was excellent in big letters. We
were more than surprised and please at
how many attended. Every event was
full," says organizer Wayne Lowe.
Lowe says from 800 to 900 people
were fed at the barbecues held
Saturday and Sunday nights and over
1,000 at the Saturday night dance.
Turnberry Street was lined on both
sides for blocks for the Saturday
parade, which had 135 entries and
lasted about one hour and 20 minutes.
Events such as the bathtub race by
Logan's Mill, the rubber duck race on
the Maitland River and the team
penning at the Optimist grounds
attracted the crowds and the stands
were usually full at the weekend -long
baseball tournament.
"The team penning was amazing even
if it was a little bit dusty," said Lowe, of

residents not
panicking
as manhunt
continues
Aaron .Jack 1 i n
Mount Carmel's Bill and Helene
Regier and the ongoing manhunt for
prime suspect Jesse Imeson on their
minds, but they're not going out of
their way with special security
precautions.
At least, not according to a random
assortment of people using the
Seaforth post office Monday.
"It doesn't bother me," said Gord
Sallows of Seaforth. "It was too far
away to even think about."
He added that he's always locked the
doors anyway, even while home.
Linda Dzioba of Egmondville has
started to do the same thing. She used
to only lock them at night.
"You think about it, wondering if
they're going to catch him," she said.
Mary Anne Snowdon lives outside of
Seaforth.
"I'm locking my door," she said,
noting that before the murders
sometimes she did and sometimes she
didn't.
While she thinks the murders are on
people's minds, she doesn't think
there's as much reason to be afraid as
some people seem to think.
"People living in cities like Toronto
live with these very fears all the time,"
she said. "It's all local hoopla."
The murder§ hit Catherine Hak of
Seaforth hard.
"I knew the family quite well," she
said, explaining that her late husband
had worked with Bill Regier. She's not
taking special precautions either.
"I lock my doors," she said.
Hak said this precaution isn:t
anything unusal as she's done it since
her husband passed away.
"It's normal procedure," she said.
When asked if she's taking any
special security precautions, Sandra
