County puts an end to consultant issue
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
The issue of the day care special
needs resource consultant was
almost re-visited by Huron County
councillors at the Nov. 20 meeting.
Council approved a
recommendation last month that
would see the resource consultants
working from one central location
rather than at each of the county’s
day cares. The $20,000 received by
the day cares for this service would
go back to the county.
The two councillors for Huron
East, Joe Seili and Bernie MacLellan
argued against the recommendation
last month saying it would mean the
end of the Tuckersmith Day Care
and that they couldn’t believe it
would be cost-effective.
Tuckersmith had used the money
towards its operating budget.
At the Nov. 30 meeting MacLellan
said he had since had conversations
with Bluewater councillor Bill
Blyth Kings play Rockets
The Palmerston Rockets came to
the Clinton arena to play broomball
against the Blyth Kings at noon on
Dec. 3.
Kurds Kolkman put on the
goalie’s gear to protect the King’s
net. He made several great saves.
Both teams played hard and took
some shots on net during the first
period. A Blyth player took a penalty
for highsticking with seven minutes
left in the period. Blyth played
strong while shorthanded and scored
a goal against Palmerston. Winger
Kurtis Gorel made a pass from the
Dowson, who feels that the issue
perhaps should be revisited. “He
said there is more information we
need to look at,” said MacLellan.
Dowson was not present at the
council meeting.
MacLellan also stated that
Dowson had indicated he had
discussed this issue with John
MacKinnon, social services
administrator.
MacKinnon agreed that he had
been speaking with Dowson, but
said the only concern he heard was
that all three affected municipalities
had not be visited. MacKinnon
explained that Goderich said there
was no need, and Huron East said it
was “too late to be talking because
the decision had already been
made.”
“We .didn’t discuss bringing the
issue back up,” said MacKinnon.
MacLellan wondered that if there
was more information was there any
reason the issue couldn’t be brought
back to the committee for
corner to Dane Nickel, who wound
up for a hard ground shot and scored
the goal.
In the second period, with just
over 12 minutes remaining a Blyth
player received a penalty for
checking Palmerston into the
boards. While playing shorthanded,
Blyth couldn’t keep the ball away
from Palmerston. The Rockets were
able to score after making a nice
crossover pass in front of Blyth’s
net to their centre forward.
With three minutes left in the
game and a tied score the regular
discussion.
Chief administrative officer Larry
Adams explained that, according to
the procedural bylaw, to open the
matter up for discussion would
require a two-thirds majority of
council.
South Huron councillor Rob
Morley asked if council could be
informed as to what kind of
information they might “look
forward to” if the issue is revisited.
Goderich councillor Deb Shewfelt
raised a point of order on this stating
that nothing can be discussed until a
two-thirds majority agrees.
Voting to re-visit the special needs
resource consultant issue were Dave
Urlin, South Huron; Bert Dykstra,
Central Huron; John Bezaire,
Central Huron; Dorothy Kelly,
Morris-Turnberry; Seili; Jim
Fergusson, Bluewater; Ken Oke,
South Huron and MacLellan.
Opposed were warden Doug
Layton, North Huron; Shewfelt;
Morley; Rosemary Rognvaldson,
play was stopped and it was time for
overtime play. The goalies were
pulled and the teams met on the ice
four on four. Blyth’s Brent Drost
won the face-off and made a
breakaway to score the winning
goal.
No other goals were scored by
either team before ice time ran out.
The final score of the broomball
game was 2-1 for the Blyth Kings.
Coach Jennifer Miltenberg gave
the title Man of the Match to Nickel
for playing his position well and
getting Blyth on the scoreboard.
Howick; Neil Rintoul, Ashfield-
Colborne-Wawanosh; Ellen
Connelly, Goderich; Murray Scott,
North Huron; Paul Klopp, Bluewater
and Ben Van Diepenbeek, Ashfield-
Colbome-Wawanosh.

Little rest for defence
Continued from page 11
the Ironmen had limited resources
on the bench, thus were unable to
give the Wingham defencemen
much rest.
“You vorry having three lines and
only four defence, but all the lines
worked hard when they had to,”
Livingston said.
The team saw some adjustments
between the lines during play,
showing whc, gels together in case of
missing players.
“Everyone plays with everyone,”
Livingston said. “It’s something to
look at down the road.”
Livingston was happy to see some
unselfish passing among the team,
with 11 players getting on the
gamesheet with points.
“That’s a good thing to see all the
guys spread the goals around,”
Livingston said.
Livingston says the effort from the
team needs to stay consistent even
against lower-ranked teams, and that
they can’t relax.
“These are the games you make
sure you work hard at,” Livingston
said.
“You can’t just turn it on and
off.”
