FROM BRUSSELS
Wow! More glorious fall days.
They feel like a gift, truly unexpect
ed and just what you wanted but did
n’t know. Yippee!
The candidates meeting went very
well - good speeches, good ideas,
lots of reassurance and a good
review of what has happened in
Huron in the last few years. We cer
tainly are fortunate in this area to
have the agriculture and business
base to do the municipal work that is
needed to make our area a terrific
place to live. Thanks to all the candi
dates for your interest on our behalf.
Each one of you would do us proud.
Good luck in the campaign.
Joan Jacobs has returned from her
southern holiday to Palgrave. Of
course a good visit with Mom, Jim
and Pat was the result.
The Boyntons were on tour last
week trying to catch the fall colours.
I hope they looked quick because the
leaves sure did a tumble.
While writing this I’m listening to
a CBC interview with Jo Rowlings
the author of the hit series Harry
Potter. The books are the largest
selling kids’ books, perhaps of all
time. Last week was Literacy Week
in the schools and for all you grand
mas who are worrying about what
your grandkids are reading, say
thanks to Jo. She has sparked their
imagination and they are now keen
to read. She mixes fantasy and reali
ty in just the right amounts to make
reading a pleasure. Keep them com
ing Jo! She’s doing a reading at the
SkyDome. That’s how big she is.
Last Saturday night saw The
Latimer Gallery open at the Huron
County Museum. Elizabeth Latimer
a teacher who was bom and spent
some time in Morris Twp. was gen
erous in her bequest to the museum.
We are truly the benefactors.
The museum staff with the bless
ing of county council has been work
ing on the best use of Miss Latimer’s
generosity since 1996. The opening
of the gallery named in her honour

follows the history of government in
Huron County, starting with maps
from the 1600s to pictures of past
wardens (George, Cal and Jack from
Brussels) to old signs from down
loaded roads and the glass desk
markers that used to identify our rep
resentatives at county council. The
staff has done a great job on this very
timely subject - the changes in
municipalities.
So take time to go to the museum
and enjoy the benefits of Miss
Latimer’s money.
An added prize for Ralph and me
was enjoying a jazz trio, then bring
ing home chocolate cheesecake.
Thanks Miss Latimer.
Get ready for the Trick or Treat
crowd.
Bye now, Betty G. W.
A closer look
Brussels Reeve Ralph Watson was one of the people who
turned out to the open house at the Brussels Library on Oct.
19 regarding forest management in Huron County. The goal
was to seek input on a strategic plan for the management of
forests in the county as well as the new tree law. The open
house was one of five being held. This week they are in
Zurich and Exeter.
