Hunter family marks passing with event PEOPLE AROUND BELGRAVE Some new wheels The Belgrave Kinsmen ended their ATV draw by presenting Ron and Kathy Keip with a new ATV at Lynn Hoy Enterprises on the weekend. The draw was a successful one for the Kinsmen, drawing participation from all over the community. The club has been busy recently, just coming off of serving a sold -out roast beef dinner at the East Wawanosh 150th anniversary kick-off to over 300 hungry diners.

All 13 of the family from Alberta and British Columbia came and are now back home safely. Others were from Toronto, Brantford, Kitchener, St. George and Northern Ontario. Thanks to all the local people who came to Gwen's memorial to make it a great success. The community congratulates all the graduates of 2016 and wishes them all the best in their future endeavours. FROM BELGRAVE Friends of the Museum future uncertain says Vodden A request by the Friends of the North Huron Museum in Wingham to erect a bell monument on the museum grounds brought to light the fact that the group may fold in the near future according to Councillor Brock Vodden. During a North Huron Council meeting last month, the request, which, if approved, would cost the municipality $300, was moved for approval by Vodden for discussion purposes. "The Friends of the Museum is at a crossroads," he said. "They will likely fold this fall." Vodden said the chair of the group has resigned and no one seemed interesting in taking on the position. "I think there are a great many things we need to consider as a council looking at the purpose of that museum and how it should operate." Vodden said council had not budgeted any money for the past several years for programming at the museum, so the Friends of the Museum were responsible for anything that had occurred, including capital costs like the bell. "They did some remarkable jobs and took on some great projects," he said. "However, council, and I'm part of this, has been negligent as to clarifying purposes and goals and operations the museum would take and I think that needs to change. If we don't do something, we're going to have, across the street, an old vacant building that has to be maintained, heated and cleaned." Vodden said council needs to make some decisions regarding the future of the site including a terms of reference and a strategic plan for the facility. "It's a big issue," he said. "The important thing here is for our staff to come up with some ideas for us to consider and what we need to take a really serious look at the site. The [museum] has great potential for the community and we're not capitalizing on it now." Councillor Trevor Seip said he raised these issues at a previous meeting several months ago, wondering about the future of the group and the museum as a whole. "We have to be mindful of the priority list we set for staff," he said. "At this time, the amount of work dedicated to the shared services and other large projects is big. We need to wait for a report on what a decision [regarding the museum] looks like. This is more in-depth than just programs. We need to be mindful of other priorities being met." Seip said he was still waiting on a report regarding the issue, adding he wasn't pushing for one, but rather wondering when it would be available. Chief Administrative Officer Sharon Chambers said, with council's current priority list to staff, it wouldn't likely be complete until next year. "Right now we have so many things on our slate and we're working to balance that project load," she said. "[The recreation and facilities] department has a number of capital projects they are working on. The shared services project is quite an animal, taking a significant amount of time." She said there should be some discussion as to what council would like to see from the museum regarding programming and that some issues overlap with other departments. Vodden agreed but had no problem pushing the bell project through. "As far as it is concerned, it's viable and an interesting addition to the property and I don't think there is anything wrong with going ahead and completing it whether the Friends of the Museum continue or not," he said. "Postponing it would be missing an opportunity to recognize the hard work the group has done and the money they have raised to create that installation." Vodden's remarks fell on deaf ears, however, as his motion was defeated and followed by a motion to defer the bell project until a report on the museum and the Friends of the Museum could be prepared by staff being approved with Vodden dissenting.
