A father's touch, a Papa's kiss, You'll never know how much you're missed The times we shared, the laughs we had The things you did for us dear Dad Our hearts still ache with sadness And tears still often flow What it meant to lose you Dad No one will ever know. Memories for a lifetime. Loved for eternity. Your family. 46-46x1 WILUAMS: In loving memory of a dear Mom and Grandma, Eileen The moment that you died, Our hearts were split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it will never be the same. For those who still have their Mom, Treat her with tender care, For you'll never know the empti- ness, As when you turn and she's not there. - Sadly missed by Charlene, Pat, Alanah, Connor and Elysse and Pat W. 46-46xlcc MCMILLAN: In loving memory of a dear wife and mother, Edith, who passed away November 9, 2001.

John Bezaire, who once was a councillor for the former town of Clinton, will take the deputy reeve's chair after earning 804 votes while contender Dave Jewitt, also a former Clinton councillor, garnered 556 ballots. Bezaire says he headed to town hall Monday night to bear witness to the results as he "couldn't wait any longer." Though the official voter turnout percentage will not be released until later this week, Bezaire is concerned about the low figures. "It wasn't surprising, but it was disappointing," he says, noting the poor turnout could be attributed to the fact so many seats were acclaimed. Plus, he says Central Huron council has been doing a "fantastic job" of representing the municipality so there were not a lot of disgruntled voters. Bezaire is looking forward to taking on the deputy reeve's responsibilities, as well as taking a seat on Huron County council. "It will be a new experience, I can't wait," he says. Meanwhile, two of three incumbents will take seats representing Central Huron's East Ward. Incumbents Marg Anderson, with 693 votes, and Darren Stevenson, with 541 ballots, took the most votes. "1 must say I was happy," says Anderson. She says her campaign platform, of continuing with ongoing issues like nutrient management and water quality, reflected voters' concerns. Anderson says working on issues relating to amalgamation will also receive top priority. Stevenson, who is entering his second term as councillor, says water quality and road repair were at the top of the agenda during his door-to-door campaign. He adds that he is grateful for the support, but was somewhat surprised fellow councillor Bill Colquhoun was not reelected. Colquhoun will be missed, says Stevenson. The third seat for the East Ward was won by first-time political contender W. Tim Collyer, who garnered 490 votes, 38 more than Colquohoun. Collyer, who is set to retire from Huronview on Thursday, is grateful for the public's support. He notes that his sister and brother-in-law in Fort McMurray, Alta., were among the first to call and congratulate him. 1'1 am quite pleased and I am looking forward to getting on council," he says. The incumbents and newly elected candidates will join acclaimed Reeve Bert Dykstra, West Ward councillors Laurie Cox, Alison Lobb and newcomer James Ginn, who was also acclaimed.

The U.S Department of Agriculture announced on Oct. 31, a proposal to relax bans on cattle under 30 - months -old and lambs 12 - months -old, thought to be at lower risk for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), as early as January. The U.S. Senate then passed a non-binding resolution last week that's critical of USDA plans. "I certainly see it as a possibility that the U.S. will be opening the borders to cattle under 30 -months by mid-January," said Paul Coultes. president of the Huron County Cattlemen's Association. "Opening the borders will certainly help our markets if they have to come to par to keep our cattle in the province as well," he said, adding cattle prices are five to 10 cents under from where they were last year. Coultes said the Ontario cattlemen should be able to survive until January, as the cattlemen association is working with the federal government in attempting to prepare a compensation package. Coultes said although relaxing the ban is a good, the diary cattle industry will still be at risk because they mainly export older cattle. Huron County Federation of Agriculture president Neil Vincent is optimistic that the public's comments on the proposal to open the U.S. border to low-risk live cattle and lambs will be positive. "With the Americans taking care of our export markets in Europe and Asia, they're actually starting to run short on animals for their own markets," he explained. "Sure it's great to have high prices for a little while, but their animals only last for solong. The longer the border closure is extended, the more pressure that will be put on the American beef farmers to get their product out." Vincent added he expects a "full gamut" of people in both the U.S. and Canada to take the opportunity to voice their concerns on the border bans including cattlemen associations, grocery organizations and farmers. The USDA is allowing a 60 -day period during which the public can comment on the proposal. After that, officials will decide on whether to lift the ban. Coultes said he, along with other members of the cattlemen association from across the province will be sending their comments on the proposal to the USDA.

Space for the Community Calendar is donated by The Huron Evositor. decision to open the border to cattle under 30 months of age and lambs under 12 months will ultimately depend on how the government "accepts the need to get back to a North American meat market." Currently the U.S. is only allowing boneless, muscle cuts of meat, which accounts for five to 10 per cent of Canada's normal beef exports. And even if the U.S. decides to open their border to the younger cattle and lambs, there will still be a major "bottle neck in the system," Vincent added. Coultes said Canada should be looking at other options like in Europe where they have slaughtered all older cattle because BSE is more provident in older cattle. "We just don't have a major plant in Ontario to slaughter older animals and that's still something we're going to have to dealt with," Vincent said. "We should be slaughtering between 35,000 and 45,000 a week, but now we're only slaughtering 4,500." Coultes said it may be two to three years before the U.S. opens it's borders to older cattle but the association's focus is on what can be done now. "I think our main goal is to open the borders to cattle under 30 -months in January," he said. Needle found in Halloween candy A sewing needle was found in the candy bar of an eight-year-old Brussels boy after he returned from trick or treating Halloween night, reports the Huron OPP. The boy's father was checking his candy Saturday afternoon, the day after Halloween, when he came across a small Oh Henry bar that was missing part of the wrapper. He then found a needle embedded in the bar. Police were called by the boy's grandfather on Monday, Nov. 3. The boy lives on Flora Street but couldn't provide police with any information about where the chocolate bar came from during his night out in Brussels. The local school was contacted and a note sent. home with every child to make sure parents checked `. any candy their children still had before eating it. Huron OPP are continuing to investigate. Anyone with any related information is asked to call the Huron OPP or Crime Stoppers.
