Hullett council opposes reform proposals
Hullett council convened at a
special meeting on May 29 to
respond to the key recommenda
tions of the County Reform report
put forward by the Consultation
Committee for the Minister of
Municipal Affairs.
After discussing the report,
council decided that the interests
natural to the local municipalities
would be lost through participation
in a County structure.
Among the points they disagreed
with was the recommendation that
states “local municipal corpora
tions should have a minimum
population of 400.” Council said,
“this is getting further away from
the people and it is felt we are
being efficient as we stand.”
Council also disagreed that the
maximum size of county councils
be 20 members and recommended
26 members with multiple votes.
Multiple votes “would achieve
equal representation without going
to the public,” said Council in
disagreeing with the proposal of
representation by population.
Council also disagreed that eco
nomic development and sewer and
water be the responsibility of the
counties. Council said that water
and sewer should remain a local
Municipal responsibility and eco
nomic development should be a
co-operative program between
County and Local Municipality.
The council did agree on many of
the proposals but were totally in
disagreement with individual coun
ty reform studies. They said “it is
getting more difficult to get compe
tent individuals to run for office.”

Blyth Beavers
attend Beaveree
The Blyth Beavers attended the
Huron District Beaveree held at
Benmiller Conservation Park, Sa
turday, May 27.
Each colony represented a coun
try. Blyth Beavers chose United
States with their theme as Disney
World. Each colony participated
with a half hour craft or demonstra
tion pertaining to the country they
chose. Group leaders dressed in
costumes according to the country
which they represented.
The day started with flag break
and opening preceded a full day of
fun and activities for all who
participated. During lunch break
Blyth beavers had a barbecue with
their home cub pack. The day came
to a close with each group leading a
song from their chosen country,
with everyone joining in. Popsicles
were served to all and badges and
crests were awarded to each one
present.
The Blyth Beaver Leader Rose
mary Fidom would like to extend a
big thank you to all those parents
who made the day a great success
for the boys. Without these people
it would not have been possible. A
special thanks to Joyce Carter,
Dianne Mason and Debbie De
Wolfe for their time donated in
preparation of costumes and crafts.

game and now we could stop
having to listen to the news taken
up with whether or not the place
gets finished on time.
Yeh, said Billie, now they’ll have
more time for the good stuff: like
massacres in China.
Ward Black said he wasn’t so
enthusiastic about the new dome. It
wasn’t just the fuss and the cost
and the parking, he said. “At least
with the old stadium the odd game
got rained out so you didn’t have to
listen to the Blue Jays lose every
day.”
WEDNESDAY: Well, Hank said,
he’d been wondering about switch
ing to organic farming for a few
years but he’d just decided against
it. He pointed to a story in the
paper where worm pickers from
Toronto had just hit a farm near
Schomberg for the fourth time in
the last year. The farmer said the
worms are particularly plentiful on
his farm because it’s an organic
farm and there aren't chemicals to
kill off the worms.
“Hmmm,” said Billie, “people
pay more for organic everything
else, I wonder if they pay i.ivic for
organically-raised worms.”
