Central Huron Council was brought up to speed on the association’s implementation of the new “wheelie bin” recycling system at its Oct. 28 committee of the whole meeting by outgoing councillor Pam Stanley. There were, however, several councillors who were upset about the way recycling would be carried out in Central Huron. West Ward Councillor Brian Barnim brought the concerns of several ratepayers to the council table. He was upset because of the “lack of options” council was given, calling the BRA “a dictatorship”. Stanley defended the action taken by council, saying that the system that has now been implemented was voted on by council and that nowmembers are going back on whatthey initially decided to do.The consensus of councillors seemed to be that the option given to council was more of a “when do you want to change” option rather than a “do you want to change option”, but Stanley said that council voted in one direction, regardless, and that she wouldn’t entertain their concerns any longer. This lead to Barnim requesting that Veilleux appear at council so that the questions that he and other members of council have could be answered. Barnim was concerned that members of the public were not consulted as they should have been and that now the community is split as to whether they want the new, large wheelie bins or not. The decision, however, has already been made for them, he said. Barnim said that the BRA had purchased new trucks that would be conducive to the new system and that the old blue box system was being phased out, so that council really wasn’t given a choice. Stanley,however, said that a system iscurrently being used in St. Maryswhere both the new and old systems are both being used, negating Barnim’s argument. She reiterated that council voted for the option they wanted to see in the municipality and that the complaining was too little, too late. “I’m tired of your yelling,” she said. “Just let it happen and then if people really need help, they can get it from Bluewater Recycling.” Barnim asked that Veilleux be requested to appear at the next committee of the whole meeting. He was discouraged from this, with other councillors saying that the new council will not be in office yet. He was unwaivering, however, saying that the request should be made and an invitation to the new council members should be extended for that day, because the issue needs to be resolved. “We’ll get Francis or his staff to come to council and then if we don’t like what’s being done, you can have at it,” said outgoing deputy-reeve John Bezaire.Stanley, however, had heardenough of the issue, declaring herself “done” with the situation.“Frankly, I don’t want to have toargue about this anymore,” she said.“This is enough.” Poppy patrol Members of the Brussels Legion and the Cadet Corps were out in full force on Saturday morning canvassing the community and selling poppies. Private Bailey Poels, left, was on the road, selling a poppy to Wallace Bell, right. With Poels was veteran and Legion member Cecil Moore. (Vicky Bremner photo) By Shawn LoughlinThe Citizen
