The Citizen, 1991-08-14, Page 10PAGE 10. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14,1991. Horsing around Jeremy Clark, front, and his sister, Katie, give the task their full concentration as they put the horses through their paces during the horse show at W-6 Quarter Horses on Sunday. Fire territories to be discussed Brussels will seek a meeting with Morris township immediately and carry out negotiations with Grey township this winter over the oper­ ation of the village fire department Reeve Gordon Workman got the discussion rolling saying he wasn't happy with the current situation as to who should answer fire calls in the territory around the village. "As far as I'm concerned, if Brussels (fire department) can make it first, they should go without any ques­ tions at all and try to save whatever can be saved," he said. Because Brussels fire department has no water tanker, it has a limited ability to fight fires in areas without fire hydrants. Brussels covers the area in Morris close to the village with Blyth or Wingham depart­ ments covering the majority of the township and taking over if a tanker truck is needed in those areas closer to the village. In Grey, the Grey Township Fire Department is responsible for the entire township with Brussels hav­ ing first-call response in areas close to the village. Councillor Bruce Hahn, council representative to the fire depart­ ment said it boils down to a ques­ tion of who pays for fire calls. Blyth department didn't care who got the call if Brussels could get there first, he said. He suggested a meeting with Morris township to work out the situation. Don Crawford, a member of the department, said a number of the volunteers had agreed they'd rather respond to a fire then contact the Grey or Blyth departments by radio and turn back if necessary than to leave someone unprotected. The firemen had agreed they wouldn't charge in that case. In Grey, the fire agreement between the village and township is due for renegotiation this winter and the problems will be addressed at that time. But he cautioned: "We still have to remember that it's the Brussels Fire Department. We don't want them stuck way out there (in the country) and have no protection at tome."

These are games that had been rained out and had to be made up for their schedule. The first game the Brewers lost to the Seaforth Coop's Sports 2-1. But took the second game when they pounded the Exeter Sooners 7-0. How nice it was to see the boys play their games in their home town. There was a fairly good turn out for both games.
