Huron East briefs OPP talk policing With several representatives from the OPP in attendance at the Jan. 23 meeting of Huron East council, some questions regarding policing were answered. However, in spite of learning that it would take five officers for a 24- hour per day, seven-day a week service, council still had questions about cost and joint contracts. Administration will obtain further information regarding the cost of basic service (5.1 officers) for the entire municipality, the possibility of a joint contract with Central Huron and determine if Central Huron is interested in that option. Although Brussels Councillor Joe Seili and Grey Councillor Alvin McLellan made a motion for the municipality to enter into negotia- tions with Central Huron for polic- ing, the motion was tabled until the next meeting. *** Accounts payable for the new and former municipalities were approved. Bills for Huron East were $44,065.05; Seaforth, $301,185.09; McKillop Twp., $189,776.03 and Tuckersmith, $66,017.01% * ** Clerk-Administrator Jack McLachlan was instructed to for- ward a letter to the Ontario SuperBuild Corporation seeking funding through the Sports, Culture and Tourism Partnership initiative round 1, for the Vanastra Recreation Centre filters and roof. This application is possible because the municipality is compli- ant or in the process of gaining com- pliance with the new Ministry of Environment drinking water protec- tion regulations. The Vanastra Recreation Centre is seen as the highest sports, recre- ational, cultural or tourism infra- structure priority. *** Approval was given to the repre- sentation of councillors on boards and committees as suggested at the Jan. 16 session. *** The Knights of Columbus were granted permission to sell car raffle tickets in the municipality with pro- ceeds going to the Arthritis Society. *** McKillop Councillor Sharon McClure and Seaforth Councillor Dick Burgess will interview prospective grader operators. *** Councillors approved a motion to allow two road foremen the oppor- tunity to attend the Good Roads convention in Toronto each February. FROM WALTON Ag. soe. gets info on tour By Bonnie Gropp Citizen staff Brussels Agricultural Society will, over the course of the next few weeks, decide whether or not to host this year's Huron Hiker Tour. This event is held annually and provides an opportunity for partici- pants to travel to selected farms throughout a specific area. Charles Regele, president of the Huron Federation of Agriculture attended the Society's annual meet- ing in Brussels on Thursday night to discuss the tour. Regele had worked on the committee when the tour was in the Seaforth area-a few years ago. He said that total attendance for that event was 900 with 300 on hand for the supper, which would be the fundraiser for the society. While par- ticipants attended' from Huron County, a large number of visitors were from urban centres, including Kitchener and London. A few members wondered if the problems with water quality might not be a detriment to attendance, par- ticularly with the city visitors. Regele, however, did not feel it would have a large impact. He stressed the need for publicity, particularly in the month prior to the event. He noted as well that com- modity groups will help. As well there will be some support from the Federation, the •health unit, OMAFRA, the Ontario Farm Animal Council and the Ministry of Natural Resources. The Society will meet in early February to see if a committee could be put together before making any decision on whether they would host the tour. Joan Tuchlinsky welcomed every- one to Duff's United Church on Jan. 28 and invited the congregation to join in the responsive Call to Worship. Following the opening hymn she Last week I asked if anyone had an image about themselves and what would happen if we didn't have any images of anyone or thing. "When I have no image about you and you have no image about me — which doesn't mean I am isolated, or have no affection, but the registration of hurts, insult, all those movements of thought, has come to an end. Which means, at the moment of insult, to be completely attentive, with all your senses. Any form of image that you have about another, or about yourself, prevents the beauty of relationship." All of these questions and ideas are from reading a book called, To Be Human by Krishnamurti. He was a spiritual figure who travelled and lec- tured throughout the world until his death at 90 in 1986. If you want a challenge I suggest you find his books and read about something that will teach you about true relationship and love. announced that the next WUCC will be.Feb. 7. She also reminded people about the annual meeting on Feb. 11 and that the service will start at 11:30 a.m. that morning. The choir came down from the loft to teach the congregation the round, What does the Lord Require? 7 Dividing the congregation and choir into three, the song was taught, then sung altogether. The effect was unbelievable (one can take that any way they want). Gloria Wilbee read scripture and Joan's reflection was called, I am only .... Remembering a vanished past At the last regular meeting of Grey Twp. council, outgoing Reeve Robin Dunbar, left, unveiled a plaque commemorat- ing the history of Jamestown. The plaque, which will be mounted on a stone on the former general store property, was accepted by Glenn and Elizabeth McKercher. Glenn's father Allan and his wife Rhoda were the last operators of the store, which closed in 1971. The stone was donated by Allan's grandson John.
