Brussels Public School
A Goatful Thanksgiving
by Paul Kitchen, Grade 8
On Monday night Harvey Kit
chen’s newest goat jumped out of
its pen, ran up the barn steps,
leaped through a glass window and
landed uninjured two stories be
low.
Moments later a motorist report
ed seeing a goat on the highway.
The next day Shane Wilson
reported a peeping goat at his
home. Another report stated ‘‘she
is headed north.”
Twenty-four hours later and
numerous trips of driving up and
down Brussels back streets, a
welcome call was received from
Mrs. Gallop. Harvey and Yvonne,
armed with two flashlights, a dog
leash and collar, sped quickly to the
scene.
A chase through back yards, the
soothingvoiceof Mrs. Gallop, a
return trip home to get another
goat as an enticement, all proved in
vain. The United Church windows
were too close for comfort, know
ing the past history of this goat.
The new game plan was to place a
dish of feed on the verandah and
hope the goat would stay close to
“home”.
It worked! Wednesday at dawn
the goat was captured while
sleepinginthecarport.Toall those
who offered help in this great
capture a greatful thanks!

dedicatedstudentsfrom B.P.S.
gave up their P.D. holiday to visit
the Stratford Shakespearean Fes

from Hullett Central, Vanastra,

Four students, from B.P.S.,
Jason Elliott, Karli Yanchus, Lisa
Bromley and Debbie Logue, were
given a special backstage tour.
They saw the Underworld where
the actors wait to go on stage. The
wardrobe and props departments
were also visited. 1 hey had the
unique opportunity of standing on
the Festival Stage which was
already set for the afternoon
performance of ‘ ‘ Much Ado About
Nothing”.
The morning was capped by a
visit to the Warehouse where all
the costumes from all the perfor
mances were stored. Costumes
from this warehouse are rented by
theatres all over Canada.
In the afternoon, the group
watched the performance of
‘‘Much Ado About Nothing”.
Prior to this, the students had
studied parts of the play, costum
ing and set design during their
English classes. Because of their
knowledge about the play, most of
the students followed the story line
quite well.
