The Citizen, 1989-09-13, Page 16PAGE 16. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1989. Brussels Council briefs Brussels to discuss economic survey results Brussels council will hold a public meeting Tuesday, October 3 to discuss the information obtained in a survey of village residents in connection with preparation of the village’s economic development strategy. Donna White, deputy clerk­ treasurer told council Sept. 5 that more than 300 households had completed the survey and returned it, an exceptional return of 70 per cent. Some 40 businesses were also interviewed. Copies of the survey results were presented to council by Wayne Caldwell of the Huron County Planning and Development Depart­ ment and will be available to the public on loan from the library or clerk’s office in Brussels.***** When dogs aren’t barking too loudly or running loose on the streets, they’re finding another Farm soil test changes effective Sept. 15 Soil sample forms, and boxes with the Agri-Food Laboratories label should be disposed of after August 31. Several laboratories have been accredited by OMAF under the new system. Farms can choose from any of the recognized laboratories. Each laboratory has a fee sche­ dule for the basic soil test and way to get Brussels councillors in trouble. Mrs. White reported that dogs are stopping to make a deposit particularly near the bank comer and “people are mad about it”. Councillors felt owners of the offending dogs should be notified that they are expected to clean up after their pets. ***** The summer-long lawn watering ban was officially lifted at the meeting. ***** Council will provide interim funding for the Brussels Optimist Club’s project to install new ball park lights until grant money arrives. The work will be completed this fall but the grant can’t be received until all the bills are paid. Council agreed to provide money to pay the bills until the grant comes in. optional tests. The basic test is no longer paid for by OMAF. Laboratories have also been ac­ credited for feed analysis, home lawn and garden soils; and green­ house media and nutrient solu­ tions. Local OMAF offices have sup­ plies of the new submission forms and sample boxes. ***** Recycling in Brussels continues to be a hit with about a ton a week of recyclables being picked up at the curbsides. “It seems like a tremendous response from the size of the community,” Mrs. White said. There are 435 households in the village. “I think it’s working awfully good,” said Reeve Gordon Workman.***** Council agreed to send a letter to the Liquor Licencing Board for its appeal hearing on Sept. 26 into the licencing of The Sea Hut in the north end of the village.

Warden Dave Johnston, Reeve of Bayfield, stepped down from the chair to discuss the issue. The confusion seemed to arise over the kind of residents who will live in the new residential care units compared to the people in the residential units today. The resi­ dents of the new alternate care apartments, Wayne Lester, Huron­ view administrator pointed out, will be able to have their own cars and can come and go on their own. Only about 12 current residents of Huronview would qualify for that kind of housing, he suggested. Warden Johnston said that al­ though many residents of Huron­ view are listed as residential care patients because of bed limitations, they actually require the kind of care that extended care beds would provide. After hearing all the discussion, Reeve Tom Tomes of Stephen township said he felt as confused as ever. Reeve Bill Mickle of Exeter said what he had heard convinced him there was a very serious situation in Huron county, that there are not enough extended care beds for the people who need them. Referring to the refusal of the Ministry of Community and Social Services to allow the county’s original plan for a Huronview unit in the south of the county as well as in the north and centre he said “we have definitely a problem in the south and Com­ munity and Social Services is ignoring it. I would hope council will start pressuring the provincial government to deal with the exten­ ded care needs of Huron County. I think it’s time we get off our butts and do it!” Given the confusion council sent the recommendation back to the committee with the matter to come back before council at the October meeting.
