Box 400 Clinton ON N0M 1L0 (519) 482-3997 Ext. 1232 FORM 6 Municipal Act, 2001 SALE OF LAND BY PUBLIC TENDER THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CENTRAL HURON Council wages discussed by M-T An upcoming joint meeting between North Huron and Morris- Turnberry Councils brought forth some lingering concerns that Morris-Turnberry Council members have about spending too much on councillor wages. The meeting, which is part of the Wingham Industrial Land Strategy that will deal with servicing north of Wingham, is proposed to have all members of council present, however Councillor John Smuck said he didn’t believe he should go. “Is it really necessary for the whole council to go to these meetings?” He asked. “If you look at our budget, we’re almost at our full year’s [wages for council] here. We have to sit down and do something.” Mayor Paul Gowing said he understood Smuck’s concerns, however he said that the meetings were essential if North Huron and Morris-Turnberry want to work together. It was then explained the two councils would be looking at the first two stages of servicing plans, which would look at providing services for specific parts of Lower Town. Stages three and four are also planned, though Administrator Clerk-Treasurer Nancy Michie said stage four was likely going to be a 10- to 15-year goal. Smuck said he would like stage three included if all of council had to be paid to go to the meeting. Deputy-Mayor Jamie Heffer said that he fully concurred with Smuck’s concerns over council expenses. “I think we need to be cognizant of that, but I think this meeting is one that the full council should be there for,” he said. “These are big ticket items.” Heffer said another idea Smuck brought up, having a small committee made up of the two councils to handle the servicing issue, could be suggested at the meeting. Councillor Dorothy Kelly, however, felt that Smuck was stifling her. “I’m getting sick and tired of being told I can’t go to meetings,” she said. “I’m here to learn.” Council eventually agreed to the meeting. Pushing it Students from across a newly defined competition area for schools from Wingham north converged on North Woods Elementary School near Ethel last Thursday to participate in a cross country event.

(Denny Scott photo) By Denny Scott The Citizen SACSS’s Walk for Wellness nearing goal By Claire Kobe It has been another eventful week leading up to the long Thanksgiving weekend as students and staff enjoyed a beautiful prayer service to celebrate the Thanksgiving season and all that we are grateful for here at St. Anne’s Catholic Secondary School. A special thanks goes out to the choir, God Squad and the friends at L’Arche. The Me to We group is eagerly planning for their upcoming mission trip to Dominican Republic in November. Everyone at St. Anne’s is getting very excited for the annual Walk for Wellness that will happen on Thursday of this week. Our goal this year is to raise $20,000 for 20 years, and we well on our way to reaching this goal. Students are eagerly getting sponsors and several homeroom classes have challenged each other to see who can raise the most money. Both the junior and senior girls basketball teams played very well during their league games held at St. Anne’s on Wednesday. The senior and junior boys volleyball also had some league games in St. Mary’s on Thursday. Both teams played very well. The girls rugby team had a tournament in Stratford and won all three games. The cross country team had another successful meet last Thursday with fantastic results from all of the runners. The field hockey girls played a couple of games last Monday and the tennis team advanced to Western Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Association (WOSSA).
