Donating
Several pieces of older print equipment were donated to
the Huron County Museum to preserve the way things used
to be done here at The Citizen. The equipment, including
photo-typesetting machines, was originally used to create
The Citizen when it was first published in 1985. Here Jim
Aitken, left, and Lee Littlechild of Gardiner’s in Goderich

The Citizen offices since 1990. (Denny Scott photo)

Works Department every year.
While some councillors were
skeptical about such a high increase
in a year the municipality began
with a deficit of $352,878, others
felt that while the municipality was
technically in a deficit position, the
only reason the deficit existed was
because council took advantage of a
grant for an expensive sewer system
project in Vanastra.
“That was good money after
good,” MacLellan said of the money
spent in Vanastra last year. “It really
was when someone else is footing
two-thirds of the bill.”
Huron East paid just one third of
the project’s costs, while the federal
and provincial government each
picked up a third of the cost.
Councillor Larry McGrath asked
for a recorded vote on the budget,
which passed with nine votes for the
budget and just three votes against it.
Councillors Fisher, McGrath and
Alvin McLellan voted against the
budget.
Grouped with the Huron County
and education levies, the
municipality-wide tax rate increase
is 3.5 per cent.
Facing the smallest overall tax
increase in 2012 is Grey with a 2.02
per cent increase, followed by
McKillop with 3.11 per cent,
Brussels with 3.51 per cent,
Tuckersmith with 3.88 per cent and
Seaforth with 4.57 per cent.
The overall municipal portion of
the tax increase (one third of the
overall increase) is 10.06 per cent.
Brussels will see the lowest
municipal increase at 9.06 per cent,
followed by Grey at 9.24 per cent,
Seaforth at 10.24 per cent, McKillop
at 10.49 per cent and Tuckersmith at
10.62 per cent.

to me. I came away from both
conversations, which were lengthy,
refreshed and with new perspectives.
Along the same line was enjoying
Women’s Day Out in Blyth. I
encountered many ladies that day
whom I don’t meet on a regular basis
and the catching up was
invigorating. The Blyth United
Church ladies had organized a most
interesting, informative and
entertaining day as well. I came
home grateful I had accepted the
invitation to join friends that day.

summer.
The UCW will be holding a bake

Jasmine deBoer should bone up on
her Afrikaans as she prepares to
spend three weeks in South Africa
later this year as part of a volunteer
scholarship she received.
The Londesborough-area teen
attends Central Huron Secondary
and recently found out she won a
scholarship that will allow her toindulge her love of travel while, atthe same time, allowing her to helppeople.
“I’m going to South Africa to
work as a volunteer with African
Impact for two weeks,” she said.
“Then I’ll spend a week travelling
and trying to see the sights.”
The trip is courtesy of McCall
MacBain Foundation, a group whose
goal is to improve the welfare of
humanity, who awarded deBoer
$5,000 to help pay for it.
“The scholarship is available for
any student in Grade 11 or higher,”
deBoer said. “That’s the only
requirement. You can take a trip
anywhere as long as you’re
volunteering or experiencing culture
and as long as it’s beneficial.”
The group that deBoer will be
working with, African Impact, is a
non-profit group that tries to help
improve the lives of people in South
Africa.
“They help to educate people,
rebuild homes and help people
become self-sustainable,” deBoer
said. “I found them by doing some
research online and it seemed like
something different to do while
travelling. Helping others sounds
like it will be unique.”
Because she’s done some
travelling in the past, deBoer says it
was those previous trips that inspired
her to seek out this opportunity.
“I’ve been a tourist in other
countries,” she said. “I work a part-
time job at Edward’s Fuels in
Clinton and save up to go places, butthis time I was interested in doingmore.”She said that her friends have told
her that doing this kind of volunteer
work is enjoyable because it’s for a
good cause and a great learning
experience.
After leaving on June 30, deBoer
will arrive in South Africa on July 2
and board a plane to return home on
July 24.
For the first two weeks she will
likely spend her mornings teaching
at orphanages and her afternoons
volunteering in nearby communities.
“At the orphanages I’ll be teaching
children up to 6 years old who havenever had that kind of opportunitybefore,” she said. “During theafternoon I might be helping to
rebuild homes or I might be
educating people about HIV and
AIDS since it’s such a big problem
over there.”
No one individual really directed
deBoer towards the scholarship, she
had just heard people discussing it.
“People who have done trips like
this said that it’s a great experience,”
she said. “I wanted to make it my
last trip before I graduate and get
ready for university.”
Africa-bound
Jasmine deBoer was recently told she was named the
recipient of a scholarship from the McCall MacBain
Foundation which seeks to improve the welfare of humanity.
The scholarship is given to a student who plans to travel with
the intent of enriching themselves and the world around
them. To both learn and make a difference in the world
deBoer will be heading to South Africa in late June to work
with a group called African Impact. (Denny Scott photo)
