Council okays chicken barn addition Brussels council approved a minor variance application with conditions at its Dec. 1 meeting, which would allow for a third storey addition to an existing chick­ en bam at the north edge of the vil­ lage, behind the Industrial Park. Ken and Lynda Smith attended the meeting to explain the plan to council. The addition is needed because one of the Smith's chicken contractors want to expand. "We are maxed-out already, so we have to do this in order to keep him," said Smith. The addition would increase the number of breeder pullets at the bam by 5,200. Presently they have 10,500. The Health Unit had no objec­ tions. Huron County Planning and Development asked that conditions be attached. The Smiths have agreed to have manure disposed of as quickly as possible. They agreed to put in writing that they under­ stand the limited expansion of the bam in the village and that it may only house the existing type of livestock. An on-site straw shed is to be destroyed or repaired by Oct. 1. A notice of the council's decision would be published. There is a 20- day appeal period.♦♦♦ Council voted a $500 Christmas bonus for staff. ♦♦♦ A request was received from Morris Twp. for the removal of snow at Huronlea. Using rates set out from the Ministry of Trans­ portation, council agreed to charge $45.70 plus a $12.50 hourly rate. Village employees will keep track of the time spent. Council, however, said they would not be responsible for salting and sanding. *** Councillor Joe Seili will attend an OPP committee meeting in Bluevale in January. ♦♦♦ With the government's approval of year-round Sunday opening for the LCBO retail outlets, White asked councillors for their feelings. She said 70 per cent of the cus­ tomers coming into the store said they were in favour. White, who canvassed some store owners said that she got one in favour and three opposed. Councillor Greg Wilson said that strictly from a business point of view he didn't believe council could object. "It's just another busi­ ness trying to make a living," he said. Councillor Seili agreed. "Whether it's privately or govern­ mentally owned, I don't think we should stand in the way. If they're not open, people will go out of town." Council did say that they would prefer the store not be open until noon ♦♦♦ Donations were given to the Hor­ ticultural Society for next year's work in the village and to the Sal­ vation Army. The Brussels Fire Department has purchased a used emergency van from Southwest Oxford Town­ ship. Cost was $3,500, though it does require some repairs. Councillor Seili said it was his understanding that the $3,000 received from the village for the department's contributions during Homecoming was to be returned. There are also contributions expect­ ed from some service clubs. So as far as I know, I don't think the village is shelling out any cash."

Carroll says he’ll be visible, work on front lines with staff Continued from page 1 ance in overall program availability will be sought. "These decisions will have to be made in January and February," said Carroll, "to accommodate staff and renovation time lines." In dealing with the transition, the administration must also look at the overall work load during the peri­ od. "The AMDSB is now the lowest spending public board and the low­ est staffed at the secondary level," said Carroll. In that context, Carroll said the board may have to concentrate on "strengthening what it has instead of undertaking new initiatives." "There is a limit to what we can achieve when balancing." On a broader scale, Carroll said he wants the new board to create a, unique, distinct and separate identi­ ty from either of its two parts. "We will begin to build the new board to be seen as addressing stu­ dents' needs first." To that end, Carroll himself will be a more familiar face in the schools, than in previous months. "I want to be visible, to work on the front lines with the teachers and students. I used to do it a lot and took considerable pride in that. I want to get back out there to be able to bring back relevant infor­ mation to the board." Joining Carroll in heading up the new AMDSB will be John Patter­ son as associate director. Patterson is currently the director of educa­ tion for the Perth County Board of Education. The inaugural meeting of the AMDSB will be held, Dec. 16, at 7 p.m. at Central Huron Secondary School.
