Two popular figures in Huron
county who have left their positions
were honoured by Huron County
Council on Wednesday.
Don Pullen, who retired at the
end of March as Agricultural
Respresentative for the county,
was honoured with a framed letter
and councillors decided unani
mously to rename its annual schol
arship to Centralia College the
“Huron County/Don Pullen Schol
arship’’. The scholarship goes to
the top academic student from
Huron County in the Agricultural
Business Management Program
after the first year.
“I’m impressed and overwhelm
ed by your thoughtfulness,” Mr.
Pullen said. “I didn’t expect such a
distinguished honour as this.”
He paid tribute to the leadership
of county council pointing out that
Huron had been the first county to
have a land-use plant which, he
said, was important to the mainten
ance of farming in the county.
“Huron is the last bastion of pure
agriculture in Ontario,” he said.
Also honoured by council was
Glen Creamer, former Huron
bureau chief for CKNX Radio and
Television. In that capacity Mr.

Creamer had covered county coun
cil for nine years and developed
warm friendships with many coun
cillors. He too received a framed
letter.
He urged council to complete its
waste management masterplan and
asked those municipalities that
hadn’t begun recycling to get
involved. “Huron has always been
a leader to push upper-tier govern
ment to get something done,” he
said.
