The first meeting of theWawanosh Mighty Machines Clubwas held on April 26 at 7 p.m. atthe Jefferson house.While waiting for everyone toarrive, the members did a judgingactivity. They had to choose and
give reasons for the best shoe to
wear while working on or riding on
a lawn mower.
Next, the meeting opened with
the 4-H pledge followed by the
election of officers. Ellen Jefferson
was voted in as president and
Meagan Higgins was appointed
vice-president. Maisy Jefferson
volunteered to be press reporter
and Mary Kate Higgins took on the
role of attendance recorder. Emma
Enders was designated to design a
cover page and all the members
were asked to come up with a club
name for the next meeting.
Ellen Jefferson then led the
meeting with roll call which asked,
“what is your favourite machine
that uses a small engine?” After
discussing the importance of
safety, all members were thenobliged to sign the safetyagreement found in their books.After this, members learned theseven steps to safety and completeda safety symbols page in theirbooks. The members were then
given a break from their book work
and they went outside and played
safety tag which included some
safety dance moves.
The meeting reconvened with the
members breaking into small
groups to discuss and answer how
to protect and prevent injuries of
their body parts. The members then
briefly discussed the difference
between two-stroke and four-stroke
engines. Next, the leaders used a
push lawn mower to show the
members where to look for the
main components of a small engine
plus look at safety labels.
Ellen Jefferson then closed the
meeting with the 4-H motto. The
next meeting will be held on May 8
at Huron Tractor in Blyth.
Inaugural Mighty Machines meeting focuses on safety

Huron East approves new cell phones for fire stations
Huron East council has
authorized the possible purchase of
two cellular phones for the
Brussels and Grey fire stations at
its May 4 meeting.
While the Seaforth Fire
Department has had a cellular
phone for several years, Huron
East’s other two departments have
not had them. Grey Fire Chief
Calvin Semple had been using his
personal phone for fire-related
calls and Brussels Fire Chief
Murray McArter had been using
the phone provided to him at the
Brussels, Morris and Grey
Community Centre, but he is
retiring later this month from that
position, and he will leave the
phone at the centre.
Huron East Fire Chief Marty
Bedard told council that cellular
phones are often used by fire staff
while driving to a call as a means
of communication, at an
emergency scene to relay sensitive
information and that it also makes
it easier for him to get in touch
with the municipality’s fire chiefs.
Deputy-Mayor Bernie
MacLellan, while agreeing in
principle with the concept, said
that while Semple has been using
his own phone for fire purposes for
years now, perhaps the
municipality can offer to pay him a
flat rate each month, similar to
mileage costs, that would be
beneficial to both parties.
MacLellan said that if council
offered to cover $25 per month on
Semple’s phone bill, it would
likely be a lower cost than what
Semple’s fire usage would total,
and it would also be lower than an
average monthly charge on a
phone. MacLellan said Semple
would likely welcome the
$25 per month on his bill and it
would be cheaper for the
municipality than an average usage
plan.
MacLellan also said it would be
more convenient because the fire
chiefs would not have to carry two
phones around wherever they go.
Council passed the motion to
purchase the phones, but to
first offer the reimbursement
plan as an alternative if the
employee does have a phone of
their own.
