Bench warrant
issued when man
misses court date
Well, it’s back to the drawing board for Mike Watson [left] and Don
Crawford, both of Brussels, as they found they had a few bugs to iron
out before their bathtub could be considered a serious contender in the
Brussels Homecoming Bathtub Races, scheduled for'July 4. The men
decided to lash two 45-gallon drums under the gunwales to provide
flotation, then fill them with beer to provide stabilization.
A bench warrant has been issued
for the arrest of a Brussels-area
man after he failed to appear in
Goderich Provincial Court on
Monday on several charges of
breaking, entering and theft invol
ving a number of residences in
Morris, Grey and West Wawanosh
Townships earlier this year.
It was the third time that Alan
Richards of RR 3, Brussels had
missed a court appearance, failing
to appear in Wingham District
Court in both April and May, when
a warrant with discretion was
issued on his behalf.
Mr. Richards has been jointly
charged in the incidents with
Dannuel John Kirk of RR 3, Zurich,
who appeared in Goderich Court
June 1, but was remanded until
July 6 in Goderich. Mr. Kirk faces a
similar charge in the Goderich
Court, laid as a result of a break-in
in Sebringville, a spokesman for
the court said.
Homecoming
Update There’s a new
BY TOBY RAINEY
Evidence of a party mood is
becoming visible almost every
where you look in Brussels these
days, especially since the souvenir
T-shirts hit the streets late last
week. These classy shirts come in
either canary yellow or sand, with
theofficial “Brussels 115th Home-
coming’’ crest imprinted in black
or brown.
Available only in adult sizes,
they all sell for $8.95 and
are available at J.R.’s Shake
Shoppe, Brussels Variety Store,
SomeThing Special, Cornerstone
Flea Market and The Citizen office.
Only 200wereordered, somake
sure you don’t miss out on this first
batch. Besides, it’s good advertis
ing - wear one everywhere you go,
and put in a plug for our big
celebration!
Sports Committee chairman
Don Crawford tells us that several
of the sports events are already
attracting entries, while the bath
tub race has competitors coming
from as far away as Scotland
(Ontario, that is). The sweltering
evenings of this past week have
seen a few strange craft testing the
waters behind the Brussels dam,
while log rolling trials are schedul
ed for the coming week, so get out
your caulk boots and c’mon down.
The Mushball tournament sche
duled for July 3-4 still has room for
a few entries, but don’t wait too
long - it can only accommodate
eight teams all together.
At press time we still don’t have
the specs on Soapbox Derby cars
from event chairman Neil Beuer-
man, but it sounds as if almost
anything goes; an added bonus to
this event is that the vehicle also
makes handsome parade entries
for their young drivers.
The Homecoming Committee
wants any organization or group
which is interested in operating its
own food booth for fun and profit to
attend the next meeting to finalize
the details: The various breakfasts
and dinners are well in hand
v - ;
/ I5tli S
'“'I , o"'
(although most could use extra
manpower, so don’t be shy about
volunteering), but more booths -
especially those selling something
“different” to please the palette -
are needed throughout the village.
More help is also still needed in
organizing the parade, as well as to
help the Brussels Leos Club with
the clean-up afterwards. Plan to
attend the Homecoming Commit
tee meeting at the BMG arena at 8
p.m. next Monday (June 8) to find
out where you can help, Or call
secretary Mary Lowe at 887-6923
with your suggestions.
The Citizen is pleased with the
number and quality of the historic
photos, articles and anecdotes you
have been sending in for inclusion
in our big Homecoming souvenir
issue scheduled for July 1, but we
still need lots more material to
make this the best issue ever.
Please bring or send items to The
Citizen office, or call Toby Rainey
at 523-4792 (office) or 887-9789
(home) for more information about
this special issue- but HURRY!
deadline is fast approaching!
