Council refuses to change fee
Brussels village councillors Mon
day night refused a request from a
ratepayer to reconsider the fee they
had set for moving a sign in front
of his new house.
Henk VanDenBroek appeared
before council asking that the vil
lage entrance sign at the south end
of the village on Cty. Rd. 12 be
moved to the limits of the village.
It's currently located in front of the
new house he has built and is a fre
quent target for beer bottles thrown
from passing cars, he said.
Village to hire dog tag seller
Brussels village councillors voted
Monday night to hire someone to
sell dog-tags door to door in an
effort to get all dogs in the village
licenced.
An advertisement is being placed
in The Citizen calling for applica
tions for the job of calling on the
more than 60 known dog-owners
who haven't bought their licences
yet. Owners will be warned that
they have until June 30 to purchase
their licences after which they will
be subject to a $25 fine.
Meanwhile, Clerk-treasurer
Donna White told councillors, the
complaints about dogs continue to
roll in. "There are so many com
plaints - I don't know what you do
about it. They come in and yell at
inc - maybe it makes them feel bet

Rebekahs meet
The regular meeting of Morn
ingstar Rebekah Lodge took place
May 28 in the Lodge rooms with
Noble Grand Janet McCutcheon
presiding. There was a large atten
dance.
The Charter of the Lodge was
draped in memory of Grand Lodge
officers who passed away in the
past year. Elected officers for the
coming year were: Noble Grand,
Leola Hood; V.G., Gertie Kelling-
"1 think it should be moved
because it's rotten anyway," Mr.
VanDenBroek said. "I think it
would be nice if council would put
it at the town limits."
Councillors had agreed to move
the sign at the May meeting of
council after a request from Mr.
VanDenBroek but felt the home
owner should pay part of the cost
of labour by town workmen and
rental of a machine to dig new
post-holes. But Mr. VanDenBroek
ter."
Complaints include both dogs
running at large and people who
allow their dogs to mess on side
walks and lawns and don't slop to
clean it up. On the dogs running al
large situation, Councillor Mary
Stretton told councillors that she
had toured the village with the
company in charge of dog-catching
and pointed out all the known trou
ble spots but there were no animals
running at large that particular day.
The dog-catcher is aware of the
problem areas, she said.
As for the problem of owners
who let their pels foul sidewalks
and neighbours' lawns, it was sug
gested that only neighbourhood
pressure on the culprits will make
them clean up their (or their dog's)
act.
event there were five Pietenpol air
craft along with a collection of
antique and classic aircraft. The
event is open to homebuilt aircraft
as well.
Those attending will be able to
camp overnight and a breakfast fly
out to Hanover may take place on
Sunday. In case of rain the whole
event will be shifted to Sunday.

After Lodge, members enjoyed a
social time in which the Lodge
members presented Marie McTag-
gart with a gift on the occasion of
her 80th birthday and Marie Turn
bull a gift to celebrate the occasion
of she and her husband Bill, as they
celebrate their 50th anniversary.
said people had told him the sign
shouldn't have been where it was in
the first place and he shouldn't have
to pay at all. He said he would
gladly donate his time to help move
the sign.
Councillor Dave Hastings said
that something has to be done to
curb the added expense the village
gets stuck with when houses are
being built. Everybody always puts
the driveway in near a fire hydrant
or a tree and wants the obstructions
moved at town expense, he said. "I
thought it was a pretty reasonable
deal. I'm sticking by it." Other
councillors agreed.
Meanwhile Mr. VanDenBroek
indicated to councillors that the
new location they had selected may
not meet with the approval of
another neighbour. Councillors said
they had been worried about visi
bility for people entering the high
way when they had chosen the new
site but a neighbour most effected
wanted the sign put al the limits of
the town, Mr. VanDenBroek said.
