Brussels council briefs
More communications needed on recreation
A meeting of municipal repre
sentatives on the Brussels, Morris
and Grey Recreation Committee
should be held every year to make
sure they realize what the commit
tee can and can’t do, Brussels
village council was told Monday
night.
Councillor Betty Graber made
the recommendation in a debate
over the continuing issue of how
mucheachof the municipalities
paid to support the committee last
year. Her comments followed an
observation by Hugh Hanly, clerk
treasurer that he didn’t think the
clerks and council reps on the
Hospital master
plan ready
in July
The master plan and master
program for the Wingham and
District Hospital could be back
from the architect by the end of
July, the hospital’s board of
governors has been informed.
During a management commit
tee report presented at its regular
March meeting, the board was told
the committee hopes to have
received the master plan and
master program by that time.
Property committee chairman,
Bob Middleton, made the an
nouncement while presenting the
report in the absence of manage
ment committee chairman, Dr.
Brian Hanlon.
In November the board decided
to go ahead with the preparation of
the master plan and master
program in another step toward
developing the course over which
the hospital will proceed during the
next 10 years. Before that, a role
study was carried out and some of
the recommendations from that
study were finally approved by the
board at its February meeting.
Inthemasterplanand master
program the architects have looked
at the existing facility and based on
what the board intends to do over
the next ten years, will make
recor.nmendationson how those
measures can be accomplished.
Once the board has received the
completed master plan and master
programfromthe architect, the
documents will be forwarded to the
Ontario Ministry of Health for its
approval.
Outdoor 4-H
dub begins
On March 30 the Blyth II, 4H
club led by Karen Stewart with
help from junior leader Marg
Crcnyn had their first meeting for
Encounter the Outdoors project.
With nine girls present the
meeting began with the pledge
then they picked their officers.
After that they worked on their
books and discussed things out
doors. Throughout the project they
plan to go for a hike and have a
photographer come and do other
things. They closed the meeting
with the Motto.
Clinton gets
grant
for sewers
The town of Clinton has received
$48,937 as first paymentfor the
sewageworksproject, Environ
ment Minister Jim Bradley and the
Hon. J ack Riddell, MPP for Huron,
announced recently.
The project includes upgrading
and expanding the town’s sewage
works.
The money is part of a grant
estimated at $533,000, which is a
provincial contribution toward the
total cost of the project, estimated
at $783,000.
committee themselves understood
everythingthatwas in the BMG
recreation agreement.
Earlier Councillor Graber has
said that she felt the recreation
committee had done something it
had no right to do when it approved
a Morris township request to cut its
contribution to recreation by
$1,000 for 1987 because of unex
pectedly high costs at the Blyth and
District Community Centre which
Morris had to help meet. The
recreation agreement must have
some security so that the recrea
tion committee isn’t at the mercy
of councils that might decide
recreation wasn’t important and
cut their contributions in half.
In its Auditors report the firm of
Pannell Kerr MacVillivray advised
that the part of the recreation
agremeent saying which munici
pality would contribute which
amounts should be prepared and
approved eachyearby the three
councils involved to prevent such
future occurrences.

Questions will go out on the

idea. Reeve Gordon Workman said

people should know that they were
going to pay now or pay later for
garbage because it wouldn’t be
many years before there was a
garbage crisis. Everything that is
manufactured and ends up in the
garbage should be able to be
recycled, the reeve said.

Council will ask the Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce to
extend its hours to normal non
banking hours to help the village
meet competition from other com
munities. Councillor Neil McDon
ald pointed out that banks in
Wingham and Listowel are open
Saturdays and Brussels has to try
to compete with those centres for
business. Many people are work
ing and can’t make it to the bank
during regular bank hours, he said.
Councillor Malcolm Jacobs add
ed the Liquor Control Board store
to his list of complaints about short
hours. Stores in Toronto are open
late at night and the Brussels store
can’tevenbeopenon Mondays, he
complained.
*****
A letter will be sent to a William
St. homeowner complaining about
the number of abandoned refriger
ators, other appliances and vehi
cles around his property and
pointing out the hazard they pose
to children.
The action follows the reading of
a petition from 13 neighbours who
worried about the condition of the
property and complained that
besides the danger to children, the
junky yard lowered their property
values.
Councillors expressed concern
about the refrigerators which still
have doors on them. Reeve
Workman felt that if council knew
about the situation and didn’t act it
would be held liable if a child ever
did get trapped in one. Councillor
Ruth Sauve said she understood it
was a criminal offence to leave
refrigerators around without tak
ing the doors off them.
Council will also talk to the
Ontario Provincial Police to see if
they have jurisdiction in the
matter. Council had earlier includ
ed the property owner among a
number ofproperty owners who
had received letters asking them to
clean up their yards by May 1.
*****
Council has dropped any idea of
having the woodwork in the library
refinished. Only one person could
befoundtoquoteonthejob. His
estimate was about $14,000.
Meanwhile council is not happy
with the job done by the contractor
who refinished the floors in the
library and will call him in to
discuss some deficiencies.
