And now, after serving McKillop for 12 years and Huron East for six more, McClure has decided to retire from municipal politics and will not be running in this fall's election.

Unwilling to invest in a project that will increase the number of beef processing plants when exist- ing plants are not working to capac- ity, CanAdvance has turned down a request for funding from the pro- posed Brussels beef plant. But, the Brussels, beef plant steering com- mittee has not given up, Huron East Mayor Joe Seili told council at its Sept. 19 meeting.
