McDowell marks retirement after 30 years of teaching PEOPLE AROUND BELGRAVE Some souvenirs East Wawanosh's Alice McDowell marked her retirement with a come -and -go celebration at the Belgrave Community Centre on Sunday. McDowell has taught throughout Huron and Perth County, most recently in Listowel. Locally, she was the last principal at Blyth Public School and the first at Maitland River Elementary School in Wingham.

Cards will resume again in the fall. Have a great summer! The community congratulates Alice McDowell on as she prepares to retire after 30 years as an Huron East, Morris-Turnberry approve fire With the departure of a fire official it shared with neighbouring municipalities, Morris-Turnberry council started looking for alternative fire prevention and protection service arrangements. After discussions with Huron East, the municipalities announced, earlier this year, that Morris- Turnberry would buy a 45 per cent capital share of the Fire Department of Huron East's Brussels station, providing them with fire coverage and provincially mandated fire officials. During the two municipalities most recent council meetings, the agreement was finalized. HURON EAST Huron East Council made the municipality's new arrangement with Morris-Turnberry official last week, passing a bylaw to confirm its new fire agreement. Council passed the bylaw at its June 20 meeting with no debate. Chief Administrative Officer Brad Knight, however, did discuss a number of points of the agreement with council. Knight said that the new agreement under which Morris- Turnberry would purchase a 45 per cent stake in the Brussels division of the Huron East Fire Department, will take effect on July 1. With the new arrangement, Knight suggested that a new committee be struck and a meeting scheduled to deal with restructuring the budget for the second half of the year based on Morris-Turnberry's buy -in. Knight suggested that the two council representatives for that committee be appointed at council's next meeting, which is scheduled for July 4. In the agreement, it states that the Huron East Brussels station will provide fire suppression, rescue and emergency services, communi- cations, hazardous materials response, medical tiered response, fire investigation and fire prevention. In addition to the buy -in, the price for calls will be a flat rate of $300 for trucks for the first hour and $200 per hour for subsequent hours, plus the wages for the firefighters. MORRIS-TURNBERRY With a cheque in the mail and all the bylaws passed, Morris-Turnberry has completed its plan to buy part of the Huron East Fire Department's Brussels station, providing coverage for the Morris-Turnberry residents while at the same time meeting provincially mandated fire service requirements. Morris-Turnberry Council passed several bylaws during its June 20 meeting rescinding existing fire protection services, adopting a fire services agreement with Huron East, appointing Huron East's Fire Chief Marty Bedard as Morris-Turnberry's fire chief, chief fire official and fire prevention officer and approving the $176,771 capital buy -in to the department. The buy -in will see Morris- Turnberry own a 45 per cent share in the department to be paid out of Morris-Turnberry's fire reserves, thus having no effect on the 2017 budget. Mayor Paul Gowing said that he had heard significant positive feedback on the issue during his travels, specifically at the firefighter's breakfast held in Brussels on Father's Day, June 18. "I was approached by several individuals while at the breakfast who said the move was a positive one," he said. "They said this should have happened several years ago. That was a nice surprise and there was a positive atmosphere around the decision, especially from the FROM BELGRAVE educator. A come -and -go celebration was held on Sunday, June 25 at the Belgrave Community Centre. agreement firefighters themselves." Morris-Turnberry Administrator Clerk -Treasurer Nancy Michie said the draft agreement had been approved by the Ontario Fire Marshal's office which described it as fair to both parties. Michie said the Fire Marshal's office approved the document and that information was received just before the council meeting. Gowing congratulated Michie on working through the process before saying that Huron East had been a pleasant partner to work with on the project from start to finish. "It was really great working with Huron East on this," Michie said, agreeing with Gowing.
