He said he didn’t want to take any opportunities away from young peo- ple looking for county jobs, so he couldn’t support the policy. “I don’t want to see that happen when I see my young kid on the road looking for a job,” Klopp said. Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh’s Ben Van Diepenbeek, however, felt it was a good policy and he spoke in favour of it. He said that if people are willing to work for the county into their late 60s and early 70s, they should be rewarded for their hard work and loyalty. “I think they should be entitled to that,” he said. “I think it’s a good policy.” Council then voted to institute the policy by a slim vote of 8-7. Van Diepenbeek says aging workers should be rewarded Blustery Huron County was hit hard by a blustery winter blast over the weekend that saw roads become snow packed and visibility reduced. The winter weather continued on through Monday and Tuesday, with schools cancelled and roads closed on Jan. 22.

Vice- President Nancy Jardin welcomed everyone, the WI grace was sung and a potluck lunch enjoyed. Following the meal Nancy read “A New Year’s wish for you and yours”. Doreen Marks opened the program with a poem, “We were born in Canada”, written by Pauline Johnston, a native woman. A tape was shown with photos taken from the air of a trip across Canada, from East to West and the far north. Suitable Canadian folk songs were heard in the background.
