Huron County's Waste Manage­ ment Master Plan will have to go forward without its current co-ordi­ nator. Jo-Anne Richter, co-ordinator for the project since it began, submit­ ted her resignation to the Waste Management Steering Committee at a meeting Nov. 5. The committee voted to appoint Craig Metzger of the planning department as a temporary replace­ ment. Dr. Gary Davidson, director of Planning and Development, rec­ ommended that someone from within the staff be reassigned to fill the position. A decision will be made at the next meeting of the committee. *** E. Wawanosh council issues building permits East Wawanosh council met Nov. 3 and passed a report on the Gulutzen Municipal drain indicat­ ing work to the drain could cost $316,900. The report was given by Andy McBride of Maitland Engineering Services. It outlined the work to be done. In other council business, build­ ing permits were issued to Howard Kennedy, of part lot 37, cone. 14 for a verandah and Fred Meier, part lot 42, cone. 6 for a grainery. Reeve Ernest Snell and Council­ lor Dianna Robinson were autho­ rized to attend the Rural Ontario Municipal Association conference from Feb. 7-10, 1993. Council supported the resolution of the Township of Georgian Bay in opposing the implementation of the Cousineau Commission rec- After dropping slowly in recent months, the number of people on welfare in Huron increased in September. The number of recipi­ ents increase .6 per cent in Septem­ ber from August . The increase over September 1991, however, was 40.72 per cent. *** No action was taken by the road committee on a petition from Lon- desboro area residents asking that the "rumble strips" be removed on County Rd. 15 west of the village. Denis Merrall, County Engineer explained that the strips help warn motorists that a stop is ahead. The county and Hullett Township have been concerned about motorists missing the comer and have been comendations in establishing four individual district school boards across Ontario namely Anglo-pub­ lic, Anglo-Catholic, Franco-public and Franco-Catholic. Council petitioned for interim payment under the Public Trans­ portation and Highway Improve­ ment Act on expenditures made in 1992 in the amount of $358,139. Dale Hamilton from Blyth Festi­ val Theatre attended council to inform about them about a play being written for the spring. She is looking for local people who want to be part of the cast or anyone who has historical stories to come for­ ward and participate. This play will be a story of local history from the surrounding townships. Next council meeting is Dec. 1 at 12 noon. trying to get a flashing signal installed. Removing the rumble strips would be the wrong move. *** Fire protection for Huronlea south of Brussels is a concern for the Seniors and Social Services Committee. . The home for the aged, due to open in the spring, is located in Morris Township. The township has a fire agreement with the Blyth and District Fire Area Board to cover the southern part of the town­ ship. Because Brussels has no tanker capacity, it answers calls in the township only on a "first call" basis, staying at the fire until either the Blyth or Wingham departments arrive. Huronlea, however, is just at the edge of Brussels and has a town water supply and it is much closer for Brussels to respond to calls. The committee directed its staff to look at the situation because the Brussels department would be much closer in case of fire. *** The expense of upgrading of the blinds and draperies at Huronlea and Huronview was the subject of considerable discussion. All draperies will be lined and vertical blinds will be changed from perforated to solid material, council was told. The cost increases from $14,000 to $29,095. Pat Down, reeve of Usbome, said the reasoning was that all the curtains would then be the same instead of some being lined and some not, depending whether they were on the south or north side of the build­ ing. It wouldn't matter where the curtains were rehung after launder­ ing if all curtains are the same. Lined curtains should also have a long lifespan, she said.
