A plan to enhance Huron East's economy A strategic arrangement put forth by Brussels Ward Coun. David Blaney, to attract more people to Huron East was approved by the municipality January 19. Blaney, the chair of the Eco- nomic Development Commit- tee approached his fellow col- leagues with a "forward plan- ning" incentive with the initial objective of improving profit activity for the entire financial system of Huron East. He sug- gested five goals to do so. Blaney said he planned to endorse this at a larger scale by bringing it to the attention of Huron County's council. But for now, his partners of coun- cil have approved it and he's poised to start the future prepa- rations with Huron East's eco- nomic development officer, Jan Hawley. If successful, Blaney alleges this campaign will exchange currency from out- side the region, rather than recy- cling funds from the locals. Huron County native O'Reilly to play in the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game Ryan 0' Reilly enjoyed an epic season, as he competed in the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game. The assistant captain and lead- ing scorer of the Buffalo Sabres had a statistically best year. In 44 games played in the 2015-2016 season the center man has managed to put 17 goals in the net, followed by 20 helpers (assists). O'Reilly's mother Bonnie was one of the first to hear the news her son made the All-Star team, she said by the tone of his voice when he called she knew how much this meant to him. She and Brian O'Reilly (father), from Varna, Ont. booked a flight to Nashville for the weekend of O'Reilly's game. They then headed to Syracuse a day later to watch their oldest son Cal O'Reilly take part in the 2016 Toyota AHL All-Star Challenge where he represented the Roch- ester Americans, the farm team for the Sabres. Cal signed a one- way, two-year NHL contract as a free agent with the Sabres July 3 of 2015, which subse- quently resulted with both of the O'Reilly brothers playing a cou- ple games together this year.

The pub- lic had 20 days before October 11 of 2015 to petition against the construction proposal of a multi- million dollar, 10 acre, three-sto- rey, 80 -unit project, as well as 40 multiple -attached lodgings. See- ing as the man who has played the role of the West Ward coun- cillor for the past eight years did not meet the requirements, which included a written sub- mission and attendance at the public meetings for oral submis- sions, the member of the munici- pal board who acted as a judge at the hearing, rejected the appeal. Two new paths for two new principals As the renowned saying goes, when one door closes another opens and the principal of St. James Catholic School, known to the students as Mrs. Tigani is living proof.

Followed by a let- ter to the parents to inform eve- ryone about the adjustment.
