Any meetings between Morris-
Turnberry and North Huron
councillors should be formal
meetings, a motion passed at Morris-
Turnberry councillors at their Aug.
11 meeting stated.
Councillors rejected an idea
proposed by councillor Mark Beaven
when he appeared on his own behalf
at North Huron council Aug. 4.
Beaven had suggested that an
informal committee of two
councillors from each municipality
meet to keep communications open.
The councillors would then bring
issues back to their own councils for
resolution.
“I don’t agree. It’s not the way to
do it,” said mayor Dorothy Kelly as
she introduced a motion to offer
formal, full-council joint meetings
with North Huron at “any time, on
any subject”. Such meetings should
be advertised just as regular council
meetings are, she said.
“I think municipal business should
be at the table,” agreed councillor
Bill Thompson, rejecting the idea of
informal meetings.
Councillor Paul Gowing defended
the idea of Beaven, who was absent
from the meeting, noting the
proposal would not see the informal
committee make any decisions. The
proposal is an attempt to speed up
co-operation between the two
councils, he said.
But he was alone in his opinion.
“One council should meet the
other council,” said councillor Lynn
Hoy.
The Brussels Squirt A team took
gold in the year-end tournament in
Seaforth on Saturday, Aug. 8.
It had been a great season for this
team ending in first for the year with
a 12-1-1- record.
Friday night Brussels played
Zurich for the first game of the
tournament and won 18-1, then on
Saturday morning they played
Seaforth II in a tight contest which
they won 5-1.
The championship game was
played in the afternoon. Even in the
pouring rain, it was a very tightly
fought battle against Benmiller
ending in a 2-1 victory. The score
was 1-0 for a long time then
Brussels gained another run late in
the game only to have Benmiller get
one back early the next inning.
Brussels was able to hold off an
attack in the final inning leaving
runners on first and third for the
victory.
Brussels Squirt A members are:
Rachel Hastings, Austin Johnston,
Dawson Peachey, Faith Sebastian,
Rachel Miners, Jasmin Roth,
Gregory Ward, David Hastings,
Donald Hastings, Mitchell
Kellington, Katelyn MacLeod,
Colton Hastings, Natalie Fear and
Hayden Ten Pas.

All three of Huron East’s
recreation centres will be outfitted
with high definition plasma
televisions in an attempt to promote
the area.
Brussels has received its new
television at the Brussels, Morris
and Grey Community Centre, and
the Seaforth and Vanastra Centres
will have theirs shortly.
This fall, each centre will be
outfitted with one of the 42-inch
screens, which will play a slide
show of scenes captured throughout
the municipality.
The timing, says Huron East
economic development officer Jan
Hawley, is perfect, with the
televisions being installed just
before hundreds of children begin
passing through all three centres’
doors as hockey hits the ice again for
the winter.
The plan, Hawley says, is to entice
people to stay in the community
longer after the action on the ice has
concluded.
The televisions will be mounted in
the lobbies of the centres, directly
above a large map of the
municipality, listing area businesses
and what they offer.
Hopefully, says Hawley, the
scenes on the screen will encourage
visitors to match what they’ve just
seen on the screen to its location on
the map and perhaps even look into
a visit before heading home.
Hawley is also in the process of
having the second printing of the
new Seaforth brochure produced,
while she is currently finishing up
Brussels and Vanastra brochures.
The total cost of the project is just
under $3,000, with each television
costing $750, $150 each to be
mounted and $50 each for a dvd
player.
