Thanks!
Mary Jean Bell of the Brussels school council accepts a
cheque in the amount of $4,000 from Lions President
John Exel. The $3,000 from the Lions and $1,000 from
the now defunct Leos Club will be used to pay off the
school's new playground equipment.
A Note from Betty
Mother Nature is chuckling again this week as we decide what to do now
that we have three inches of snow on top of our nicely cleared flowerbeds.
Sometimes I can imagine this woman deciding with glee, the new weather
she is sending just to see how we'll react. On Monday she was waiting
expectantly for synchronized snow angels from Tory Hill but by noon none
had surfaced!
My neighbours Marc and Trish were married this week. It was good to see
old friendships renewed and the.generations dancing up a storm. Family,
food and fun always ensure a success. Grandma Sadie kept the Huronlea
staff wondering how much after midnight she was going to play.
Spring must bring out the song bird in us. Many groups have pulled
together an evening of music for us to enjoy. Area folk mixed with others
puts the spring back as we listen. Keep an eye on the paper for the schedule
to be entertained.
With Easter visitors, birthdays and weddings, thoughts turn to friendship
and its place in life. It would be a pretty quiet place if we did not take the
time to share our thoughts and hopes with friends.
What I find so rewarding is the connection that remains intact even when
you haven't connected for a while. A yearly lunch in Stratford this week
reminded me that an effort must be made to keep a friend and that effort is
well worth it. They are the ones who gently remind you where you're going
and where you've been. Yes, a reality check.
So have a good week and call a friend.
Bye now,
Betty.
Brussels man wants recognition
for father’s contribution to town
Brussels resident George Cousins
attended the April 6 session of
Brussels council to discuss several
issues of concern to him.
He was distressed that the village
had not taken any action thus far to
commemorate the contribution of
his father, Roy Cousins, to the
community.
He asked that a street be renamed
after his father or that a plaque be
erected.
While councillors did not believe
the street suggested by Cousins
should be renamed due to 9-1-1
restrictions and concern for the cur
rent residents, they did suggest
alternatives later in the meeting.
The first option would be to
name a cul de sac in the proposed
Kerr development after Roy
Cousins as it runs past the Cousins
Creamery site.
While there had previously been
no objection from Kerr for this sug
gestion, council agreed on another
solution if a commitment was not
made by June.
Council would then look into
changing Trailer Park Road or
placing a memorial plaque.

Former Brussels clerk-treas.
now GM of hydro commission
A former Brussels clerk-treasurer
has become the general manager of
Dunnville Hydro-Electric Commis
sion.
Hugh Hanly, 38, left Brussels
almost 10 years ago. He became
clerk-adminstrator at Nanticoke in
1996 and was credited in a local
newspaper story has having
"steered the city through the most
turbulent two years of its exis
tence."
Hanly was at the centre of the
expansion of boundaries for the
Nanticoke Hydro-Electric Commis
sion, the relocation of city offices
from Port Dover to the newly-reno
vated Village Centre complex in
Townsend. He also reportedly
brought the city "tantalizingly close
to opening the Harbour Museum
addition in Port Dover."
Hanly said the move to the Dun
nville Hydro-Electric Commission
will be a challenge. "This will
allow me to delve into private-sec-
PEOPLE WHO READ
NEWSPAPERS ARE
tor aspects of businss with public
sector safety nets beneath me. It
will be very interesting."
In his new role, Hanly will pre
pare Dunnville Hydro for a new
age of competition.
Mayor Rita Kalmbach praised
Hanly! and noted that the city's loss
would be Dunnville's gain and that
his guidance would be missed.It all starts with Newspapers
