PAGE 3. On the run for Terry Fox Students at Byth Public School were running around the track on a cold Monday afternoon. The run originally scheduled for the week previous, was postponed due to rain. (Photo by David Blaney) Prior to the Sept. 17 meeting of North Huron council a minute's silence was observed for the victims and families of the terrorist attack in New York and Washington. *** Councillor Jeff Howson said he had been questioned by residents as to why the tax bills came in large envelopes. He wondered if the extra cost of mailing would be less than the time factor of having employees' fold and stuff. Clerk-Administrator John Stewart said the office had ordered the larger envelopes expecting that the pack- age of information was going to be larger. It was considerably easier for staff and there was a discount in postage for the Blyth and East Wawanosh bills because they were sorted by the municipal staff, he said. *** Bills and accounts in the amount of $321,306.47 were approved for payment. Additional accounts approved for payment were Butcher & Restaurant Equipment, $1,466.25; Canada Post, $5,350; Green Gallery, $193.64; MicroAge-Basics, $337.40; Vanessa Shelter, $82.82; American Water Works Association, $252. *** A report was presented to council regarding the Wingham Armouries. The facility, estimated to be at least 60 years old, is in. need of a number of repairs. Many community groups use the building. Council was presented with three options.The first, which suggests repairing the facility at a cost of some $96,000 to address deficien- cies in the short-term, would be developed over a three-to-five-year capital plan. That option also suggested the space be leased and rented to com- munity groups, as well as finding ways to attract groups to the facility. The second option suggests selling the property for private develop- ment. The third option talks about look- ing into.a public private partnership, turning the property into a municipal parking lot, considering develop- ment of the building into apartments or as a garage for public works. It was noted by CoUnMlor Murray Nesbitt that there is not a shortage of meeting places in Wingham which could provide alternatives to the Armouries. Councillor Archie MacGowan Continued on page 6 Well Done!
