She was the beloved daughter of Roger and Tracy Bedard of Brus- sels and the loving sister of Roger Bedard. She was the dear grand- A second trailer park for Brussels would be a good idea but the vil- lage may not be able to afford it, village councillors said Monday night. Reeve Gordon Workman sug- gested a second trailer park would give a lot of young people who can't afford a house a chance to get started. "It takes people to keep a town going," he said. "We've got lots of young people who can't float a house who can float a trailer." But Councillor Greg Wilson wor- ried that, from the taxpayers' point of view, the park mightn't be a good investment. He worried the cost of setting up the park might be large and the pay-back long. "The taxpayers won't be happy if you spend money to subsidize people's housing," he warned. "It isn't going to pay back over night but it's as good an investment as you can get," the Reeve said. Everyone agreed, however, that if a private developer could be found it would be the best route to go. No action was taken. '4** Council will indicate to Blyth and Turnberry, the other two municipalities in the joint building official committee, that they feel that it would be appropriate for the building inspector they share to attend one convention a year, not more than one as he has proposed. The three municipalities share the cost of these training sessions. *** Council agreed to pay Council- lors Wilson and Dave Hastings $20 per meeting for attending meetings of the joint building official com- mittee. *** Councillors, at least the ones who spoke out, are not in favour of a ban on smoking in the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Cen- tre. The discussion came up because arena officials had been invited to a LILLIAN SUSAN GALLAHER Lillian Susan Gallaher of Listow- el, formerly of Wroxeter, passed away on Wednesday, March 31, 1993 at Listowel Memorial Hospi- tal. She was 86. Mrs. Gallaher is the loving moth- er of William and Jean Gallaher of Gorrie and Berva and Robert Cathers of Barrie. She was the loved grandmother of Susan, Bill and Rob Gallaher of Gorrie, Glen and Lisa Gallaher of Wroxeter, Elizabeth and Ed Ross of Kitchen- er-Waterloo and David and Kerry Cathers of Toronto. Also left to mom her passing are great-grand- discussion on smoking in public places to be held tonight at Blyth and Councillor Mary Stretton said the arena board is interested in knowing council's opinion. "If there's no smoking in the arena I don't go where I can't smoke," Reeve Workman said. When someone mentioned the rights of non smokers the Reeve thundered "Where the hell are my rights?" Councillor Wilson noted that many arenas have signs that pro- hibit smoking but people go ahead and do it anyway. *** Fire Chief Howard Bernard sug- gested it may be a good idea for firemen to have complete physicals at least every two years. He men- tioned the difficulty one municipal- ity got into when a fireman died on the job and the insurance company was reluctant to pay because the fireman hadn't had a medical. With OHIP changes, however, such medicals must now be paid for, by the person requesting the service from a doctor. Reeve Workman suggested the cost is now about $75 per medical. *** Council approved a bylaw to enter an agreement with the Min- istry of environment to pay the cost of four tests a year of the water supply to measure various chemical components. Previously the Min- istry had picked up the cost. The council has budgeted $266 for the year for the quarterly tests. *** Councillors agreed to order 10 more composters through the Township of Grey. Acting clerk- Treasurer Lori Pipe told council that 100 have already been sold in the village. The composters, subsi- dized by the province, are designed to cut the amount of waste going to landfill sites. *** children Tyler, Ryan, Amy, Tara and Fred.
