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.

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 Walton’s Mighty Machines The Walton’s Mighty Machines 4-H group had their inaugural meeting and learned about safety on and around machines like lawnmowers and four wheelers. (Photo submitted) 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. By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen
