Cig. council won't advise Bd. of Ed
Facing a large budget increase of
their own, Huron County Council
lors voted Thursday not to send a
letter to the Board of Education
urging it to hold its budget increase
to five per cent.
Council defeated a motion put
forward by Gerry Prout. Reeve of
Usborne based on a letter received
from Stephen Township Council.
That letter dealt with a resolution
of the township council to send
letters to the public and separate
school boards of education urging
them to keep their increases to five

had recommended the letter be
noted and filed, but Reeve Prout
had urged the county support the
resolution even though Tom
Tomes, Reeve of Stephen said the
letters had already been sent so the
board knew of his township’s
concerns.
Bill Mickle, Reeve of Exeter said
he didn’t disagree with the senti

Prout, but “we'd better be prepar
ed to deal with our own house”. If

it was asking for criticism.
Howard Armstrong, Reeve of
Stanley, said he thought such
resolutions were the responsibility
of individual municipalities.
Hullett Reeve Tom Cunningham
said councillors had to remember
that education trustees had their
own problems in holding the line
because of provincial initiatives
beyond their control. “The board of
education has its hands tied even
worse than we do,” he said. He
pointed to the provincial decision

on budget
that said board of education must
provide junior kindergarten and
said he applauded Hullett trustee
John Jewitt in fighting junior
kindergarten. Still, he said, politi
cians must be aware of the current
economy. “We’ve been aware of
the problems in rural Huron but
now there are problems in the town
too,” he said.
Reeve Prout said he agreed the
county should look at its own
budget increases. Still, the council
defeated his motion to support the
Stephen resolution.
Gerry Prout, Reeve of Usborne,
brought up the subject, noting the
$405,000 item in the highways
budget. Denis Merrall, county
engineer explained urban rebates
are mandated by the province and
can be between 25 and 50 per cent
of the levy for highways. Huron has
chosen 45 per cent. Much of the
money involved comes from the
province, he said.
Jack Coleman, Stanley Township
deputy reeve, said he felt if cuts
had to be made to the highways
budget they should be in urban
rebates. Mr. Merrall said that
when he first arrived in Huron five
years ago he was asked by council
to look at urban rebates and he
brought in a report that predicted
the days of urban rebates were
numbered. Council turned down
changes in the rebates and he
hadn’t brought the subject up
again.
Howick Reeve Norm Fairless
asked how the rebates applied to
unincorporated villages within
townships and Mr. Merrall said
there were inequities in the cases
of townships with large urban
populations.
Hay Reeve Lionel Wilder said
the subject had been explained well
and had been put to rest and "I
don’t think there’s any need of it
now.”
Hullett Reeve Tom Cunningham
agreed saying the issue should be
put to bed for the time being.

FIVE YEARS AGO
MARCH 12. 1986
Two Brussels dance teams came
home with championships from the
interclub figure skating competi
tion at Mitchell, Peter MacDonald
and Kerrie Shepherd of Blyth took
first place in the senior dance
competition and Lisa Pennington
and Scott Johnston were first in the
novice dance category.
Demolition of the Queen’s Hotel,
a landmark on the main street of
Brussels fore more than a century,
started after the deal to sell the
hotel from the village of Brussels to
a developer finally became official.
Frustration was in evidence in
Brussels when the local bank was
closed due to the storm. People
with pay cheques couldn’t get them
cashed. Business couldn’t get
change for the weekend. People
were going from store to store
hoping somebody might have some
extra cash, but were not successful,
as they needed what they had to
keep going.

instinctive behaviour. Women are
committing the same abuses as
men for the same reasons.
I find it hard to swallow that
no matter how it is done
displayed creates violence
abuse. If so, I think we are all in
trouble. All evidence shows the
opposite to be true. If we were to
get rid of everything for its
potential to create violence or
abuse, then why not add the Bible
to the list, where in Corinthians
11:3 and Genesis 3:16 it says
directly that women are to obey
men. People find it hard to believe
or accept that something which is
supposed to be so good and
righteous and the heart of their
cultural roots, could very well be
the root of all the social ills in the
first place.
Sex has been used as an easy
scapegoat for all the ills and evils of
society since the fall of the Roman
Empire. Maybe it is about time to
turn this around.
