The Citizen, 2000-10-25, Page 2rAut i nt ui I iz.cn, WEUNEbUAY, OCTOBER 25, 2000. A NOTE FROM BETTY By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-6236 887-9231 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 Check out our WEBSITE at www.northhuron.on.ca 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. VOTE RALPH WATSON IN BRUSSELS Rebekah Lodge hosts first euchre of season The first card party of the season was held Oct. 16 at the Rebekah Lodge rooms.
