THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1995. bituaries DANIEL LOUIS BEUERMANN A young Brussels man lost his life tragically on Tuesday, Sept. 26, 1995 as the result of an industrial accident.Daniel Louis Beuermann was 22. Quiet and friendly Dan enjoyed life to the fullest. He had a wide circle of friends and was an active sports enthusiast. He played in both the Brussels minor hockey and baseball systems and was most recently a member of the Interme- diate Crusaders. There was a less seen, sensitive side to Dan, however. He could "sing like a bird", and family friends remember him as always being responsible, a silent hero, who, at a young age, climbed out a window onto the roof of his house, jumped to the ground then drove to get help when his family's home was on fire. A graduate of F.E. Madill Sec- ondary School, Dan attended Fan- shawe before going into his father's contracting business. Just before his untimely death, he was begin- ning a new phase in his life, having recently purchased his first home. Dan will be lovingly remembered by his mom and dad, Joan and Neil. He was the very dear and special friend of Erin Johnston of London and the loved brother of Brad, Randy and Josh, all at home. Dan was the beloved grandson of Nora Stephenson. He will also be THE EDITOR, Once again, Huron County taxpayers are about to get the short- end of the stick. If amalgamation of school boards, as proposed in the Sweeney report goes ahead, we are in trouble. By linking the Huron and Perth public boards, Huron County taxpayers will have only three representatives instead of the current 16. If you have concerns about your education tax, you will no longer have a local trustee to contact. Likewise, parents with complaints will have no local recourse. Huron and Perth are the lowest spending public boards around. As long as education is financed with local property taxes, things can't improve. There is nothing to gain by merging the poor with the poor. The creation of county boards in 1969 was supposed to save money. We all know what happened. The creation of "super boards" will lead to the same kind of increases. We spend only 3.5 cents of every dollar on head-office administra- tion. In some large boards, it is claimed that less than 1/2 the dollars are spent in the classroom. Amalgamation may reduce spending in some high-cost boards, but those of us already at the lower- end will no doubt see costs escalate. We know that 'made-for-Toronto' solutions should not be applied across the province. A better CKNX responds Continued from page 4 Morrison. But we cannot continue to live in the past and hope to survive in changing times. And though many of us do not like the prospect, perhaps there is a lesson there for us all.

A joint study by the Middlesex/London Health Unit Life*Spin and the City of London Department of Social Services found that a family of three requires a bare minimum of $94 per week for a basic nutritious diet. Mike Harris is literally taking food from the mouths of Ontario's poorest citizens to carry out his Common Sense Revolution. You won't need to look elsewhere to find grinding poverty, despair, depravation and hunger. This is Mike Harris's Ontario. Sincerely Joan van der Merr. Interment was at Blyth Union Cemetery.
