County, council briefs
2 more enter race for Huron warden
At the Nov. 6 meeting of county
council, two new names were
entered in the race to be Warden of
Huron County in 1998.
Carol Mitchell, reeve of Clinton,
and Norman Fairies, reeve of How-
ick, announced they would be seek
ing the top job i^ the county.
Already announced as seeking the
wardenship were Bill Weber, reeve
of Stephen and Jack Coleman,
reeve of Stanley.
The voting for warden will take
place at the inaugural meeting of
the new council, Tuesday, Dec. 2.
There will continue to be
appointed members of the Huron
County Library Board after the
province no longer has control of
the body, council decided.
“We’ve been very fortunate that
public participation has been excel
lent,” said Tom Cunningham, reeve
of Hullett and chair of the Social
and Cultural Services Committee.
“We recommended the input of the
public continue.”
Public participation will be
reduced to three appointed mem
bers from six, however.

With merger talks between
Huron and Perth Health Units
stalled, Perth County informed
Huron it was willing to allow Dr.
Susan Tamblyn to remain as acting
medical officer of health for Huron
only until the end of October.
The Board of Health, on Oct. 15,
appointed Dr. Beth Henning to take
over the temporary post.
Huron has been without a full-
time MOH since Dr. Maarten
Bokhout resigned. The post had
been unfilled because it was felt a
merger with Perth or another neigh
bouring county, would be undertak
en. That merger has been stalled,
however, since the Ministry of
Health sent signals that it may be
looking in a different direction.»*♦
Following representation from
Hullett Twp., the Agriculture and
Public Works Committee agreed to
look at what improvements can be
made to Huron County Rd. 22
south of Auburn, leading to Craig
Hardwoods. The county had pro
posed turning the short road over to
the township but the township had
complained the road was below
standard and shouldn’t be turned
over until it was improved.
The committee asked County
Engineer Sandra Lawson to enter
into discussions to see if an appro
priate solution can be reached with-

more expense even though it will
not own a landfill. The masterplan
suggests the county play a role in
everything from education and pro
motion of recycling and reuse to
developing guidelines for local and
zone landfills.
“I keep wondering why we’d be
continuing to spend money on
smoke and mirrors,” said Mason
in the existing road allowance.*♦*
Sparling's Propane won the ten
der to provide propane to the coun
ty garage at Auburn for the next six
years at a cost of 18.47 cents a litre.
Bailey, reeve of Blyth. “If it means
what I think it does, we keep
spending money the way we have.”
Tom Cunningham, reeve of Hul
lett argued that council should be
looking at ways to reduce bureau
cracy, not increase it. He hoped the
county’s role in waste management
would continue to diminish. “If we
take recommendation 6 (of the
report), the county would continue
to monitor us (local landfills).”
