Tracy Goodland of Brussels Public School, was having trouble taking another glide-step as she returned, with her classmates, after a day of cross-country skiing. The cold and blustery weather on Feb. 10 were not the ideal conditions for outdoor activities, but eight students from the Grade?/8 class managed the trek back to the school. 20 attend Majestic meeting Students wrap up curling sessions By Mike Cooper and Matt Snyder The Grade 7/8 class has just finished up curling sessions at BMG arena. The winning team members were second, Trevor Wilson, skip, Ashley Gropp, vice, Patrick Gilkes and lead, Andrew Grant. The team had 25 points. We give a special thanks to the adult volunteers who helped us with our curling skills. We also thank the Parents' Association who sponsored us so this could happen. Mr. Prior has been busy with his computer, updating the report card designs for the Huron County Board of Education. He will be presenting training workshops for other teachers around the county. On Monday we started magazine sales. In two days we have collected $3,117. This project will be over in 10 days. The proceeds will go towards class trips and the instrumental music program, materials and repairs. On Feb. 10 Mrs. Hall's Grade 1 class celebrated their 100th day at school this year. They and their reading buddies made '100th day at school' booklets. We hope they have fun. The Grade 7/8 class is finally going skiing on Feb. 10. They will be leaving the school at 11 a.m. eating lunch at Patches playing a few games and returning to the school around 3 p.m. The Grade 5 and 6 dance was from 1:30 to 3:30 on Feb. 10. We hope everyone danced to the beat. Brussels council briefs Brussels council agreed at its Feb. 6 meeting that Frederick St. residents will be given several options to pay the bill for the new drain. The drain was requested by Mor- ris Twp. neighbour Tom Miller. Brussels was billed $12,000 for the work. An earlier decision was made that the village not pay the cost, but that it be paid by the Frederick St. residents. Clerk-Treasurer Donna White told council that the eight affected households have been assessed for their share which varies from $3,300 to $60. She suggested the residents get until May 1 to pay, after which they will have the option to make arrangements for special payment plans or have it added to their taxes. Councillors agreed saying they felt it was at least giving everyone a bit of notice without any interest being added. *5* Reeve Gord Workman and Coun- cillor Joe Seili are attending a meeting at the Waterloo Inn to show support for the hosting of the 1999 Plowing Match in the area.
