up." said Bill Ross of
Brucetield.
Drain maintenance was done

down.

work was done." said Ross.
"When my horse got into
those rocks. that's when I
decided to come." said Ross in
response to a question from
McKillop Coun. Sharon
McClure about why he waited

bills and was what finally made
him angry enough to come to
council and ask to have it
cleaned up.
He also wants the tress to be
replanted.
Tuckersmith Coun. Bill
DeJong is the only Huron East
councillor who was on the
former inckersmith Township
council at the time the work
was done and said, "It is a mess.
There's no doubt about it."
McKillop Coun. Ferg Kelly
asked if there wasn't a
maiptenance fund for municipal
work but Administrator Jack
McLachlan said it only covers
cleaning out ditches, not
picking up stones.
"It's been a festering wound
with me," said Ross.
While council made no
motions or suggested any
direction for the request, Mayor
Lin Steffler said, "We will
certainly take a look at it."

Health Unit opposes canvassers
Door-to-door canvassers
looking for donations for
school food programs are
not collecting for local
programs that benefit Huron
and Perth kids. says Laurel
Mclntoth, of the Huron
Health Unit.
"We got reports last fall of
rural canvassers arriving at
the door and they had no
information for donors
where the program was
based but I think they're
from the Toronto area.- says
' McIntosh.
As coordinator of the
Breakfast for Learning
program in Huron County,
she knows that no door-to-
door soliciting is done to
raise funds for breakfast or
snack programs locally.
But. when a neighbor told
her he'd supported "her
cause" by donating to a
canvasser, McIntosh started
looking into just who was
seeking funding for
breakfast programs.
"We would never solicit
that 'way. We don't have the
. manpower and we don't
have the money to pay
canvassers," she says.
The local Breakfast for
Learning program is
supported by a partnership
between the Canadian
Living Foundation, the
Ontario government, the
Avon Maitland District
School Board, the Huron -
Perth Catholic District i
School Board, the Huron
Health Unit, the Perth
District Health Unit, Rural
Response for Health
Children and the Stratford -
Perth branch of the
Canadian Red Cross.
McIntosh says that while
the canvassers may be
soliciting for a "reputable"
breakfast program, she
wants local people to know
that their donation will not
be spent in Huron and Perth
Counties and that
adminsitration costs to cover
to canvassers' wages will be
taken from the donation.
Neither McIntosh or a
spokesperson at the Toronto
office of Breakfast for
Learning and the Canadian
Living Foundation could say
which organizations are
canvassing locally.
