They read through the Breadventure book and identified the shapes that some bread had been twisted into by referring to their books. Then they got the bread they had started at meeting one shapes such spiral twists. Next they and attempted to find which one was the best. They tried some Kolacky that Victoria Richards brought. Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle said he had concerns about proceeding too far with plans for the two smaller Huronview units because of the difficulty in pinning down the government on its exact plans. “I have no problem with front-end planning but I hope we will not get involved in any tangible expenses until we get firm resolution of our concerns,” he said. “The whole scenario gives me some concern. I think we should settle this thing before we get into expenditures,” he said. Warden Lionel Wilder said coun­ ty officials had been assured by a Ministry of Community and Social Service official to proceed as nor­ mal on the plans. Huron is on the priority list for new buildings, he said, and any delay might cause the county to lose its place. Part of the concern came from the government’s announcement it plans a new study of long-term care right from Home Care to homes for the aged. However, Nigel Bell­ chamber, county clerk-administra­ tor told council, the official had told county officials that their move to reduce the size of Huronview and to decentralize was in line with ministry thinking. Mr. Bellcham­ ber said he felt the county should proceed “with caution’’ with plans and should proceed with purchase of the Brussels site the option for which runs out April 1. “We won’t be letting any contracts before the budget is approved,’’ he said. Council approved the purchase. and shaped it into as bow knots and judged four breads B.M. & G. CATERING & RECREATION’S SPRING FLING March 24, 1990 AT THE B. M. a G.

Grey Owl closes Continued from page 1 reasonable, and the facility excel­ lent. We had excellent help, but starting a new business is a real challenge and it takes time to find the market. We just never reached the projected volume in order to cover overhead,’’ he said. Mr. Ten Pas explains that during start up time they had a major customer who required a lot of labour and materials, and then left them hanging. “If a customer does well, we’ll do well automatically,’’ he says. “You have to spend time at marketing and maybe we didn’t take the time to push - there’s always that. We also had to look ahead to the GST and the extra costs that we had to be concerned with there. “I still believe Brussels is a good place to start a business, but you have to have the market,” said Mr. Ten Pas. “I really believe the day is coming when you will see more businesses moving this way. I guess Grey Owl just couldn’t fly.” Schedule A By-law NQ VILLAGE OF of 1990 BRUSSELS SCHEDULE "A" KEY MAP 8 VILLAGE OF BRUSSELS teal* STREET II Official plan landuse designation change from institutional to residential.
