Well fellow Brusselites, I’m sure
you’ve noticed that this column has
been a little on the light side
recently but I can’t fill it without a
little help from you. One well-
meaning individual recently sug
gested that perhaps I could phone
everyone to see what they had been
doing and where they’ve been and
what they’ve seen. However, there
are roughly 370 households in our
little village and at an average call
of five minutes per householder it
would take me close to 30 hours to
make contact. With a full-time job
and four children (make that two
full-time jobs) I really don’t think I
can do this alone, so I’m asking for
your assistance.
If you take a trip, have company
for a special occasion or for a
holiday, do something special or
attend a wedding, baptism, or
graduation, or know someone who
has, let me know. Just simply call
me at the numbers above or drop a
note in the Brussels office.
It’s fun to hear what’s going on
in town and nice to keep up to date
on what’s happening.

Some Grade 7 students did a
little experiment on their own to
test the hazardous potential of
liquid paper (white out). They
shared the results with the school
after discovering that a mixture of
liquid paper could make holes in a
plastic container. Because of the
dangers in using this product
improperly - some students have
been using it as nail polish - the
school is banning its use. Any
liquid paper found in school will be
confiscated.

Crossman appeals LLBO decision
A Brussels man who has twice
Council approves land buy
Brussels Councillors voted Mon
day night to go ahead with their
share of the purchase of additional
land for the Brussels, Morris and
Grey Community Centre even
though they failed to get the
current owner to change a provi
sion of the deal.
Council, along with the councils
of Grey and Morris, had agreed to
provide part of the money neces
sary to buy the land along with the
Brussels Agricultural Society which
had started to move to expand the
grounds at BMG, but had asked
for one change in the deal. The
owner had stipulated that the land
must remain in recreational use
forever. Councillors felt forever
was a long time and that the
councils had to have the ability to
sell the land for other than recrea
tional purposes should circumstan
ces change. The owner, however,
remained adamant he wanted the
stipulation left intact.

International handicrafts at non
profit prices are a gift-giver’s
dream come true, and when you
throw in solutions to world hunger,
it’s a combination that can’t be
beat. These elements all come
together at the Brussels Mennonite
Church, Saturday, December 9,
from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Plant hangers from Bangladesh,
baskets from the Philippines, carv
ings from Africa and brass from
India are just a few of the items
that will be on sale.
The event is being sponsored by
the ladies of Brussels Mennonite
Church on behalf of SELFHELP
Crafts of the World, a non-profit
program of the Mennonite Central
Committee (MCC). MCC is a
service organization of the Menno
nite and Brethren in Christ church
Board of Ontario (LLBO).
Arthur Crossman, owner of the
Sea Hut Corral on Turnberry St.
North has asked for an appeal
hearing over a decision by the
LLBO on Oct. 30 to reject his
application for a liquor licence for
his property. That hearing had
been an appeal of an earlier
decision by the LLBO not to grant
the permit that would have allowed
Mr. Crossman to build a new
building to serve as a licenced
entertainment spot.

Councillors debated whether to
go ahead with the purchase or if
they felt strongly enough to pull the
plug on the deal over the stipula
tion. “We have to decide to buy the
land with the condition in or not to
buy it at all,’’ Councillor Bruce
Hahn said.
“I just hate to see land tied up
forever,” Reeve Gordon Workman
said. Five years from now there
might not even be a fair, he said,
and the village would be left with
land that could better be used for
other purposes.
But after councillors Greg Wil
son and Mary Stretton voted to go
ahead with the deal, Councillor
Hahn pointed out that after all the
village had originally wanted the
land for recreational purposes any
way. His vote for the purchase
meant the motion carried.
Morris and Grey must also
approve the purchase before it will
go ahead.

SELFHELP items are both func
tional and decorative, and have
been skillfully crafted by artisans in
about 25 developing nations. With
a job, these producers can feed and
clothe their families and even look
beyond to education and health
care.
SELFHELP gifts are sold year-
round at non-profit shops through
out Canada. This sale is not a local
fundraiser: whenever someone
buys a handmade greeting card, a
soapstone jewellery box, a lovely
creche set or a bamboo basket, the
producer is supported. SELFHELP
items give twice: beauty and
usefulness to the buyer, and a
fair-paying job to the producer. We
are looking forward to a great sale.
Interventions had been made at
the two hearings from neighbours
who felt the proposed establish
ment did not fit in well with the
surrounding residential area.
