Kreutzwiser won the Terry Fox Humanitarian Award, chosen from 588 applicants across Canada. "It's a huge deal and we're very proud of her.

"She's an incredibly peppy r4 -year-old Brussels youth dies as result of freak driving accident By Susan Hundertmark Expositor Editor A 14 -year-old Brussels youth, who won a music award at his Grade 8 graduation the evening of Monday, June 21, died the next day as a result of neck injuries after a freak driving accident on Cranbrook Road, west of Brussels. Joseph Kerkhoff died while being rushed to Seaforth Community Hospital after breaking his neck on the window frame of the truck he was riding in. His principal, Heather Beattie of Brussels Public School, says Kerkhoff was a "very spirited, energetic and spiritual" boy. "He had a smile for everyone. The school and the community are grieving. And, our poor Grade 8 class grew up very quickly," she says. Kerkhoff, who played the clarinet in the school band, guitar in a school rock band and church band, was very talented musically. He was also a cadet, who loved the outdoors and a literacy coach for younger students and "loved little kids." Beattie says the school provided counselling for students after the tragic accident during the final day ATTENTION Parents of Graduating Students Do your children attend St. Michaels?

Kreutzwiser says she worked for several months filling out the nine -page application and collecting a minimum of three references for the national award. "I stayed home so many Friday nights working on this and it was definitely worth it," she says. As well, she attended an hour-long interview in Toronto in February by the administrators of the award. "There were a lot of challenging questions. It was really difficult," she says. She says she was very excited and surprised to win the award. "I screamed so loud when they called from Vancouver that I think I may have deafened them," she says. Kreutzwiser was ambassador of the Seaforth Agricultural Society's Fall Fair, has volunteered 250 hours at the Seaforth Community Hospital as a student volunteer since 1998, organized three food drives at St. Anne's as the school representative of St. Vincent de Paul's Society, sold daffodils for the Canadian Cancer Society, helped with mass celebrations at school and was the co -president of OSAID (Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving) in Grade 11.

After one hour of arguing council rejects two road grader tenders By Susan Hundertmark Expositor Editor After arguing for close to an hour and defeating two recorded votes, Huron East council decided at its June 22 meeting to reject two tenders for a road grader and start the process all over again. While Huron East's Public Works Coordinator John Forrest recommended a Toromont Cat road grader at a price of $232,950 (including trade-in prices for the municipality's 1981 and 1984 graders), Seaforth Coun. Joe Steffler argued that the tender New ARRIVALS Visit us for the area's largest selection of giftwarel Shop Early for Best Selection! NIfIY Korners ® RadloSh c 33 Main St. Soeforth 527.1880 agreement had been violated when Forrest called Toromont to ask about some irregularities in its tender. The phone call resulted in an alteration of the size of the grader's wheels. "I do not like altering specs (specifications) after it's (the tender is) opened. It's very unethical. The Volvomet the specs right off the bat,"he said of the $241,400 bid from Champion -Volvo. Grey Coun. Mark Beaven argued that Forrest is Huron East's expert and his opinion that Tommont's tender should be accepted should be followed by council. "We'd be spending $10,000 more of Huron East's money and going against a staff recommendation," he said. But, when it was pointed out that the tender process could be found unfair in court, Beaven agreed that the tendering process should be done a second time. "I'm very concerned we're going to end up paying more than $10,000 (if we don't retender) no matter who gets it," he said. Forrest said he called Toromont because the company's brochure was not up to date. "You don't call people up after the tender and ask them why things are missing.
