wants new council chamber
West Wawanosh Township
Council is hoping to build an
addition to the present township
public works garage tohouse an
appropriate council chamber, an
amenity it has had to do without
since the old township building
was destroyed by fire last year.
Since that time, council has had
to meet in the clerk’s office, a
situation which most of those
involved find far from satisfactory.
“If there is a delegation or
anything extra here, we’re falling
allovereachother,” saidclerk-
treasurer Joan Armstrong.
At the regular council meeting
on October 6, a motion was passed
authorizing Brad Humphrey of
Dungannon Construction to pre
pare a preliminary plan for an
addition to the present building, to
house the clerk's office and the new
council chamber. At the time,
deputy-reeve Bruce Raynard ask
ed that his opposition to the motion
be recorded.
Atthe same meeting, council
met with ratepayer A. J. Sherwood
who was present to discuss the
beaver dams on the Young’s drain
which are causing severe flooding
on hisproperty, and to question
council about the provincial Low-
Rise Rehabilitation Program.
Wayne Tucker and Betty Hen
dricks were also present to register
their objections to council in regard

captured the 3-1 victory.
FLAT BULLS FLATTENED
Sunday’s hockey game was a
completely different story. The
Bulls are generally a team that is all
fired up when they play the Exeter
Hawks, but were obviously quite
flat for this game.
None of their passes worked,
defence was caught out over the
blue line and play in general just
didn’t seem to come easy. Goalie
Jeff McGavin was bombarded by
Exeter shooters. The Hawks held a
3- 0 lead at the end of the first
period.
The Bulls finally got on the
scoreboard two minutes into the
second period when defenceman
Paul Robinson scored from team
mates Bill Haines and Kevin
McArter. Exeter added one more
with 3:55 left in the period, to hold a
4- 1 lead.
The third period had the Hawks
chalk up four more goals on the
board with the Bulls finally getting
a goal with 2:59 left in the game
when Bill Haines scored from
Stuart Bowman and Tim Fritz. The
final score read Exeter 8, Brussels
2 for the second defeat of the
season and the week.
Anotherheavy week of play is
ahead ofthe boys this week with
Seaforth at Brussels, Wednesday
nightat8p.m. Friday nightwill
have the Bulls returning to Exeter
at8:30 p.m. Saturday will have
them travelling to Wellesley for an
8:30 start and at home to Mitchell
on Sunday, Nov. 1 at 2 p.m.
The fresh market carro+ and
onion crops are expected to be
excellentthis year according to
Graham McGuire, Bradford Fruit
and Vegetable Growers’ Associa
tion. “If the weather continues to
co-operate we can expect the best
onions in years. Both the quality
and the yield are exceptional,’’
said McGuire. The carrot crop is
average-sized with sufficient
quantities to go into March and
April.

Township to provide 50 per cent of
thefundingforthe needed upgrad

tion from Lanark County, request
ing the Ministry of Municipal
Affairs to initiate legislation to
ensure that all municipalities in
Ontario include a referendum on
the question of mandatory bilin
gualism in Ontario during the 1988
