PAGE 31 County council briefs Officials get nasty surprises at Museum There have been some nasty surprises as Huron County officials look into fire alarm and sprinkler problems at the Huron County Museum. At the April 6 meeting of county council, Georgian Bay Fire and Safety Limited was authorized to install a fire alarm system as soon as possible at a cost of $39,000. In addition, Forest City Fire Protection was authorized to repair the sprinkler system at a cost of $9,075. "The whole issue has mushroomed," commented warden Rob Morley. When it comes to the sprinkler system, he told council, "You haven't seen anything yet." County engineer Don Pletch said there will be another report coming to council on further work needed. *** Huron County has three employees with salaries of over $100,000 per year whose remuneration must be made public County council salaries down in 2005 It cost $262,000 for the salaries and expenses of members of Huron County council and its various boards in 2005, but this was down $8,000 from 2004. The decrease was more than accounted for by a $10,000 decrease in the costs of remuneration and convention and travel expenses for warden Doug Layton. Layton collected $44,453 in remuneration and had expenses of $11,686. Costs for other local councillors include: John Bezaire, Central Huron, $7.326 salary, no convention expenses for a total of $7.326; Bert Dykstra. Central Huron. $11,298, $2.000, $13,2987: Dorothy Kelly, Morris-Turnberry, $10,723, $2,000, $12,723; Bernie MacLellan, $4,531. $870, $5,401; Neil Rintoul, Ashfield- Colborne-Wawanosh, $9,370, $2,000, $11,370; Murray Scott, North Huron. $9,296, $0. $9,296; _Joe Seili, Huron East, $7,144, $2,000. $9,144: Ben Van Diepenbeek, Ashfield-Cd1borne- Wawanosh. $11,772, $1.547, $13,319. Besides the 18 councillors. there are 16 members of boards who received from a low of $1 10 to a high of $4,815. under the Public Salary Disclosures Act. Chief administrative officer Larry Adams leads the list with $122,123 in 2005, followed by treasurer and deputy CAO David Carey at $110,705 and Dr. Beth Henning, medical. officer of health at $105,742. *** The number of cases of people on social assistance in Huron jumped over the year previous in January. The number of cases jumped 11.3 per cent from 327 to 364 while the number of beneficiaries increased from 749 to 852, and increase of 13.8 per cent. Of the 43 cases added in January, 30 were unemployed persons. ** * Two new senior planners have been appointed to the planning and development department. Craig Metzger transferred from the health unit. Sandra Weber was also named a senior planner. *** With the new federal government rescinding the former government's funding for day care, North Huron councillor Doug Layton asked the Sites across Huron County will once again open their doors to tourists and local residents for Doors Open Huron 2006. Significant buildings, natural heritage sites and other historic gems in Brussels. Goderich, Seaforth, Zurich and communities in between will be open for public viewing at no cost on Saturday, July 8 and Sunday,. July 9 in a provincial program spearheaded by Ontario Heritage Foundation, and organized locally by Heritage and Cultural Partnership, in partnership with the Municipalities of Huron East and Bluewater, and the Town of Goderich. "Doors Open Huron 2006 celebrates the rich heritage we have here in Huron County, and often take for granted," said Heather Boa, co- ordinator. Heritage and Cultural Partnership. "It's an opportunity for churches, industries. heritage homes and businesses to share their histories with visitors and local residents. And it's a chance for the people to visit places that are not normally open to the public.- Boa says she welcomes local groups that would like their community to be a part of Doors Open Huron 2006 to take the lead in organizing at their local level. Any churches, businesses in historical buildings, long-standing industries social services department keep municipalities updated on the future of the Best Start program as quickly as information becomes available. Evy- McDonagh. children's services manager, said secial services administrator John MacKinnon would be attending a meeting with provincial officials April 11 and would know more after that. *** Huron County was first among Workers Safety Insurance Board "schedule 2" employers in the • province for least lost time claims allowed and in least cost per claim per employee. *** What to do with all-terrain vehicles in the county is becoming-a growing issue. South Huron councillor Dave Urlin noted that the Ontario Provincial Police are pressing all municipalities to ban use of ATVs on municipal roads. Currently three municipalities allow people to drive the machines on the road to link up one trail with another. - "Outright banning won't work," predicted Urlin because ATVers and other significant buildings are invited to join in the two-day event. Participating sites will be asked to arrange their own volunteers to greet visitors, provide historical information and a picture, and contribute a modest fee to the marketing and promotion costs. Doors Open Huron 2006 will be listed in a provincial brochure that is distributed through The Globe and Mail in mid-April. All participating sites will be included in a brochure that will be distributed locally, and an information sheet will be available to visitors at each site. To be included in Doors Open Huron 2006. please contact Boa at 519-482-7078 or e-mail hboa@sympatico.ca by April 30. need some place to use their machines. Farmers who are happy to allow snowmobilers to use their land in winter are unlikely to allow trails in summer, he said. Central Huron councillor Bert Dykstra noted that ATVs are outselling snowmobiles four to one, especially with the mild winters we've been having. "It's an issue we're going to have to deal with," he said. *** Urlin also questioned Penny Nelligan, director of the Huron County Health Unit about ways to prevent young people, who can't legally buy cigarettes, from smoking. He was particularly concerned about the 14-16 year old female population. "I understand there's no law that says you can't smoke," he said noting students often congregate near schools to smoke. Nelligan said that the problem is that while officials don't want to encourage smoking, they want those who are smoking to do it somewhere safe. In the past, some schools provided a space off campus for smokers where there could at least be some adult supervision, tor instance to prevent dreg dealers from doing business there. As the law now stands, however, schools cannot provide a smoking space. *** Some of the municipalities which have been sending garbage to the Mid-Huron landfill have signed an agreement with South Huron to see their garbage going to the South Huron landfill beginning in 2010 when the Mid-Huron site is phased out. Meanwhile the hope that Wingham landfill could be the solution to long-term problems for the northern part of the county will be delayed until concerns about the current operation of the site are heard.
