Donna Knight hosts WMS meeting FROM CRANBROOK Huron East briefs Accounts total $544,730 At its Oct 2 meeting Huron East council approved the payment of accounts for September in the amount of $544,730.23. *** The Huron East Police Services Board held its inaugural meeting Sept. 12 and Councillor Dick Burgess was elected chairman. Several items were discussed including the cause of a two-hour delay in the police response to a call in Egmondville. It was discovered that there was a street with the same name in both Seaforth and Egmondville. The board passed a motion requesting council rectify the situation. It was reported by Sgt. George Lonsbary that the OPP were looking for a more visible location in Brussels and would prefer the for- mer municipal office. The board passed a motion supporting a stronger police presence in Brussels and asking that the use of the former municipal building be explored. *** Council passed a bylaw establish- ing a policy that any charitable group that canvasses the ratepayers of Huron East will not be eligible for municipal grants. This policy relates specifically to national groups can- vassing door to door over the whole municipality. *** At its Oct. 9 committee meeting council heard from David Sterrett of the Ontario Aggregate Resources Corporation. He reviewed for coun- cil the work of the Aggregate Resources Trust which has been instrumental in rehabilitating several abandoned quarries in the area. He also presented a cheque for $36,149.95 which was Huron East's share of fees arising from aggregate production in the municipality. *** At the same committee meeting council decided not to entertain a request for a minor variance to its nutrient control interim bylaw from Acre T Farms. Councillors felt that they should not entertain any requests for variances from the inter- im control bylaw because of possible detrimental effects to the enforce- ment of the bylaw and unseen future ramifications. *** Director of Recreation and Facilities Graham Nesbitt, advised the committee that the new compres- sor was installed and working at the BMG Community Centre. Donna Knight was hostess for the October meeting of the Cranbrook WMS on Oct. 9 at 8:15 p.m. The leader, Yvonne Knight, opened the meeting reading two poems with opposite points of view about being thankful: Little Blessings, and ik Lesson. Using Thanksgiving as her theme she read passages from the Psalms and the Glad Tidings. Brenda Perrie and Eleanor Stevenson assisted in a skit remind- ing all that more can be done for the A belated happy birthday to Mark Swart and his daughter Alida. Alida celebrated her second birthday on Oct. 11. Oct. 16 is the birthday of Ben Fretz, the youngest contributor to the Cranbrook News.

Art won with 14 votes, followed by math with five votes. Music got four votes. Only two people chose social studies as their favourite subject. Maybe their Nova Scotia test influ- enced the vote. For the last week or so Mr. Walker's Grade 4/5 class has been working on place value and they did very well. They have also started some fun Halloween activities. The Grade 4/5s have started their good copies of Halloween stories. Mrs. Mitchell's Grade 6s had a fabulous time flying their kites at the beginning of the week. In addition to providing a recess pastime, the kites provided a chance for students to learn about how the properties of air and the four forces of flight enable a unfortunate. Now Thank We All Our God and My God I Thank Thee were hymns used during the devotions. The minutes of the September meeting were read by the secretary, Yvonne Knight.

These models are currently on display in the library. Municipal insurance to rise By Bonnie Gropp Citizen editor The cost of insurance is going to hurt. North Huron council was told at its Oct. 15 meeting, that municipal insurance fees are going to take a big jump. According to Clerk- Administrator John Stewart, insur- ance rates were going to rise before Sept. I I. However, after the terrorist attacks in the U.S. on that day it's worse. "That hit hard." He explained that underwriters had been holding prices. "Brokers had staked off their own territory and were not going to be out trying to lowball." However, he added, insurance had been low for a number of years. The former village of Blyth was paying half of what it had 10 years previ- ous. "It's just a cycle. Now it's time to go back," said Stewart visits, and five cards were sent last month. Presbyterial director Eunice Bissett from Goderich will be at the November meeting. Brenda Perrie used the study book for her topic Jubilee People and Proclamation. People are no more enduring than the grass, but God's word endures forever.
