At its April 20 meeting, Central
Huron Council granted permission
to the Clinton and Central Huron
BIA to hold its farmers’ market in
the municipality’s library park this
summer.
Council agreed that a portion of
Rattenbury Street should be closed
between Highway 4 and the
municipal parking lot for the market,
which will be held on Wednesdays
from 1-6 p.m. between May 20 and
October.
May 20 will be the grand opening
of the market.
***
Council officially approved the
formation and terms of reference for
the Original CNR School on Wheels
15089 Advisory Committee.
Discussion had been underway for
a number of months after it was
revealed that the School on Wheels
was facing financial difficulty.
Operation of the School has now
been transferred to Central Huron
and an advisory committee has been
formed to ensure that it remains in
the municipality as a heritage site.
Councillor Alison Lobb has been
appointed to the advisory committee
as Central Huron Council’s
representative.
***
Council defeated a request from
the Coalition for Huron Injury
Prevention (CHIP) for a Central
Huron representative for the CHIP
committee.
While Councillor Alison Lobb
said that it was her understanding
that Central Huron is the only
municipality without a
representative on the committee,
council still felt that it wasn’t worth
appointing someone to the
organization and defeated the
motion.
***
Council received a presentation
from Huron Perth Healthcare
Alliance CEO Andrew Williams,
updating the municipality about the
goings-on of the Alliance in 2014.
While most Central Huron
residents are treated at the Clinton
Hospital, which is part of the
Alliance, the Alliance’s majority of
patients are coming from Stratford.
He told council that Huron
County’s local healthcare system is
“remarkably strong” but that fiscal
pressures will continue and that
partnerships will be essential to the
health of the Alliance in the future.
One of the most heralded groups
of local hockey players in recent
memory gathered over the weekend
to mark a special milestone.
The 1989/1990 Western Ontario
Athletic Association (WOAA)
Senior ‘A’ Champion Brussels
Crusaders marked the 25th
anniversary of their championship
on Saturday night with a special
reunion and dinner at the Brussels,
Morris and Grey Community
Centre.
This is, more or less, the same
team that was crowned kings of the
province for the 1987/1988 season,
taking home two championships in
the span of three years.
Brian TenPas, captain of the team,
organized the reunion, saying that it
should be something that the
members of the team do a little more
often with Head Coach Gary
Dauphin as the focal point of the
reunion.
TenPas says that organizers went
to great measures to collect items
from that magical run, including
photos, newspaper articles, jerseys,
trophies and jackets.
Many of the pieces of
memorabilia were compiled in a
book that was presented to Dauphin
in thanks for his years of coaching
hockey and, according to TenPas,
“inspiring youth” in the community
through minor sports.
In an e-mail to The Citizen,
TenPas said that many memories
were exchanged at the event. In
terms of attendance, the event was a
huge success with over 95 per cent
of the team’s members and coaches
able to return to Brussels to mark
the anniversary. (The event marked
the 25th anniversary, to the day, that
the Crusaders were congratulated by
the community in the April 25, 1990
issue of The Citizen.)
TenPas says that the reunion has
reminded all of the team’s members
just how nice it is to get together on
a regular basis. It has inspired an
annual golf tournament that the
team will hold, beginning next year.
The tournament will take place
every year with a new player hosting
each year to “keep the group
tight for many, many years to
come.”
The Crusaders took home the
1989/1990 ‘A’ Division
championship beating Kincardine.
The team would go on to play
against Drayton in the tournament’s
grand championship in a best-of-
five series.
The Crusaders wrapped up the
series on the road in Harriston with
a 6-1 victory in the fourth game of
the series, giving Brussels a three-
games-to-one series victory and
grand championship title.
Two-time WOAA champions reunite after 25 years
Advisory Committee formed for School on Wheels
25 years later
In the 1987/1988 and 1989/1990 seasons, there was no
team more dominant in the province than the Brussels
Senior A Champion Crusaders. The team celebrated the
25th anniversary of its second Western Ontario Athletic
Association (WOAA) Grand Championship over the
weekend with a reunion at the Brussels, Morris and Grey
Community Centre. Wearing their 25-year-old hockey
jerseys, the team attempted to recreate the famous team
picture (below) that appeared in the April 25, 1990 issue of
The Citizen. Top picture, back row, from left: Brian Deitner,

Harding, Mike Smith, bus driver Max Demaray and Executives
Joe and Deb Seili. (Vicky Bremner photo)
