Letter to the Editor
Writer concerned
with land rights
THE EDITOR,
Do the ratepayers of Huron East
realize that as of Jan. 1, 2017 the
Huron County Land Planning
Department or the Corporation of
Huron County or the Corporation of
Huron East can claim clear title to
all or any portion of private property
in Huron East?
As of Jan. 1, 2017, zoning and
jurisdictional control has been in
effect on private property for the
required 10 years and now stands in
law. Property owners were given
notice of zoning (jurisdictional
control) via tax assessments and the
property owners did not have this
removed during the 10 -year period.
Property owners have now lost
their property rights in court.
Private property is also
coming under conservation
regulated lands.
Elected Huron East councillors
and Huron County councillors have
the authority to repeat these bylaws.
Most of these elected councillors
own property in Huron East and
their properties are or will be
affected too.
Ray Storey.

McCall honoured
The late Bruce McCall (1998), the
long-time owner of Brussels
Stockyards Limited, was recently
honoured with inclusion on the
Memorial Honour Roll of the
Livestock Markets Association of
Canada.
The announcement was made at
the association's recent national
conference, which was held in
Lethbridge, Alberta.
McCall owned the Brussels
Stockyards from 1970 to 1987. As a
young man, McCall was trained as a
cheese and buttermaker and before
he moved to Brussels, he ran a beef
feedlot near Embro.
Friends have described McCall as
being a good businessman and a
supportive member of the
community, always contributing to
organizations like 4-H and
others.
McCall served as a long-time
board member for the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority and
he was a crucial member of the
group that would go on to renovate
the Brussels Dam. He was also
involved in the local Masonic
Lodge, attaining the 33rd degree of
the Scottish Rite. At that time,
McCall was the second -youngest
Canadian to ever achieve that.
McCall's wife Doris was also
involved in the business for many
years, serving at the lunch counter.
She passed away in 2009. The
McCalls raised a family of four:
Sharon, Bonnie, Bob and Ross.
Ross would go on to own Brussels
Livestock, before moving on to
create McCall Livestock in
Brussels, which now employs
his wife Fran and their son Matt and
daughter Lacey Berlett.
