A proposal that would have outlawed the burning of leaves in the village of Brussels was defeat­ ed in village council Monday night. After Donna White, assistant clerk-treasurer had mentioned a large number of complaints about the burning of leaves, Councillor Greg Wilson said he would like to see the burning banned. “Just for the record, I’d like to see the burning stopped,” he said in making a motion to draft a by-law to that effect. Darren Hemingway of Grey Township served as the page at the November session of Huron County Council in Goderich Township. “Just for the record I like the smell and I’m going to burn leaves,” Councillor Dave Hastings said. Councillor Bruce Hahn support­ ed the leaf burning ban but said there had to be some alternative for those who can’t burn their leaves. An' alternative may have been provided by an area market gard­ ener. Council was told Rita Deitner had approached council about gett­ ing leaves for use on her aspara­ gus. Mrs. White said Mrs. Deitner Trustees seek office Several trustees of the Huron County Board of Education declar­ ed their intent to run for office at the November .meeting of the board. While it is noted that this is customary there is no requirement for a trustee to make any declara­ tion at this time. Vice-Chair Joan Van den Broeck declared her intent to seek the position of Chair, while Bea Daw­ son and Tony McQuail are the candidates thus far for the position of Vice-Chair. Committee candidates are: Rick Rompf and Liliane Nolan who are seeking the Management Commit­ tee chair, Norm Pickell and Audry was too late to get leaves this year but had said she would take all the leaves she could get to be used as mulch. When the vote was taken on the issue, however, only Councillors Wilson and Hahn supported the idea while Councillors Hastings and Mary Stretton were against the ban. With the vote tied, Reeve Gordon Workman who had earlier said he didn’t see anything wrong with people burning leaves on their gardens, cast the deciding vote against the ban. McClellan who are opposing candi­ dates for the Chairman of the Education Committee and Don McDonald who was unopposed so far in his declaration for the position on the Personnel Commit­ tee.
