A Note from Betty The excitement is mounting as we progress through this season -- even the lack of snow doesn't seem to hinder the festive mood. The town boys have the main street looking good and the store windows will be tough to judge as the proprietors put their Christmas mood on display. Remember that Bonnie and Donna will be doing the house judging on Dec 14 so be sure to get the lights up and remember to turn them on. Congratulations abound this past week as Const. Kathy MacMillan caught her dream and left for her first policing job at Cat Lake which is near Hudson Bay. Kathy is the daughter of Rev. Cam and Barb McMillan. The guys from the band called Perish made their mark in Walkerton on Friday-nine bands were in competition before a panel of judges and our local band was number three. Congratulations to Tim Mulvey; Rob McKercher and Joshua Gropp. Wendy Martin was in town this past week and appeared to have a good time catching up with the folk from The Ark, The 5 R's and her many other friends. I hope Howard and Alice got a little of her time. The fold at the apartment complex in Edmonton, AB sure are lucky to have Wendy. Saturday's parade to welcome Santa to Brussels was terrific, lots of good floats and fun people who took the time and made the effort to make it all worthwhile. Even Santa knows. This is one of the few parades that Mrs. Claus bothers to attend and she told me she had a good time. To the business folk - thank you all very much from the kids of all ages. Keep smiling and pass on only good moods. Bye now, Betty G. THANK YOU THE BRUSSELS SKATING CLUB would like to thank the local businesses and service clubs for their very generous contributions towards our annual Skate-A- Thon and Carnival 99. Their continued support is greatly appreciated.

Clerk-Treasurer Donna White told councillors at their Dec. 7 meeting that Jean McNeil had been in the office to express concerns she had about a truck wash, being constructed by Brussels Livestock, on the north side of G&M Auto Parts on Turnberry Street. White said she explained the pre- cautions that had been taken. She said the facility will be like a car wash in that water will be used on a pay for use basis. With regards to another question, White said there would be no manure storage on site.
