Plan centre
for counselling
Central Huron Secondary
School Clinton, was the site
for a meeting ona.proposed
Chirstian Counseling center
for Huron County.
This was the second
meeting this year for con-
cerned Christians in Huron
County. A proposal was
made to four ministerials of
Huron County who appointed
both pastors and laymen to a
steering committee.
The meeting held Tuesday
October 6 was attended by
thirty-five concerned
residents of Huron. It was
overwhelmingly decided
that there is a definite need
for this type of counseling in
the area.
The proposed center is to
be situated in the Clinton
area which wouldgiveaccess
to people from the entire
county as Clinton is located
in central Huron.
There would be a staff con-
sisting of a professional
counselor, secretary -
receptionist backed by a
professional advisory board
of directors.
It has not yet been decided
when this service will be
available to the public,
however, the committee
behind the Huron County
Christian Counseling Ser-
vices Association hopes it
would be functional within
the next year.
Funniest left unspoken
Council members are
usually pretty quick on the
uptake for any possible joke.
I think it comes with the
territory. If you sit through
enough boring meetings
you're bound to develop a
sense of humor simply to
survive.
I know this is true for
reporters who cover these
meetings, as at times I feel if
I don't laugh I'll cry.
Often the funniest op-
portunities are missed. I'm
not sure why, but some
golden opportunities have
been bypassed.

Levy may be expensive to collect
A letter from the Huron
County board of education
was discussed at Zurich
Council's October meeting,
Wednesday.
The letter informed coun-
cil that the board would be
billing the village for four in-
stalments on the education
levy.
Councillor Isidore Laporte
said he thought the plan was
dumb because it would cost
the village $400 to $500 to
collect the taxes four times
per year. He suggested the
board cut back its speruing
if they want to save money.
Leroy Thefl asked if the
board could just dictate this
to the. council.
"If they want to be their
own entity, then: be one,"
Theil Fsaid suggesting the
board spend its own money
to collect taxes.
Reeve Fred Haberer said
the village would save in-
terest money by collecting
taxes four times per year, as
it would not have to borrow
money to continue programs
before second installment
taxes are collected.
Theil said the board of
education would save, not
the village. He said the
village was responsible to
collect the taxes and pay the
board what it wanted even if
taxes were not paid.
"They get their money and
we wait three years to
collect (back taxes)," Theil
added.
Clerk Sharon Baker said
things were changing and
that the village needed to
borrow more and more
money. She noted the board
had discussed collecting tax-
es four times per year, in
past years.
Haberer said "today, cash
flow is the name of the
game" he suggested taxes
should have been collected
four times per year before
this.
Some unofficial tenders
for heating oil were also dis-
cussed by council.
Baker said no official
tender had been called, but
that she had requested bids
from area suppliers.
The prices quoted were
based on fluctuating "tank -
wagon" prices and included
volume and cash discounts.
Bob Fisher asked how
council could verify the go-
ing price of oil.
Laporte suggested accep-
tance of a quota be basedon
the discount as the price will
change, but he noted the dis-
count meant little as the
price was based on the tank -
wagon price.
Council accepted a price
of 23,2 cents per litre from
Sterling Fuels.
Theil suggested the
supplier be asked to show
current tank wagon price
and discount on each billing
so council can verify the
costs of heating oil.
Baker reported that
I have a long list of things
you may never see in print.
Some are humorous, like
the picture of the cow and the
rude verse painted on a

ber sitting next to him
placidly said "excuse me,
but your hair is on fire."
He calmly patted out the
blaze (a smoldering ash) and
the conversation continued.
A lively debate over
something -or -other had
developed when suddenly,
the reeve stood up, marched
across the room, (this
reporter dived for cover
thinking the reeve had
finally had enough and gone
over the high side)
straightened a picture on the
wall and promptly sat down.
The discussion hardly
missed a beat.
Another reeve was
discussing the costs of office
furniture.
He lamented the fact the
prices were constantly rising
Needing an example, he
pointed to a map stand, an
artist's easel, and said
"Take this edsel for
example..."
At that point I did cry.

the whoopee chairs with
broken seats (the ones that
make ladies think they're in
Rome being pinched).
Many of these items
(usually at least one per
meeting) are followed by a
quick wink and a "Don't put
that in the paper!"
And unless its pertinent to
the topic at hand, it usually
doesn't see the light of the
printed page.
But I remember them.
"Will the facilities com-
mittee please report."
"We're going to sell the
facilities...they cost too
much to operate."
"By what authority did we
do that?"
"We just did it."
"We have a letter from the

"What are the fat ladies up
to now?"

collect are placed in a

Someday I may need a
favor. It would be a shame if
some silly comment (or a
potentially libelous one)
were allowed to slip out and
ruin a promising political
career.
It 1s important to note that
council members have a
sense of humor. So do
reporters.

building permits this year
brought in $1,208 and cost the
village $1.056, for a net profit
of $152.
At the September
meeting, councillor Fisher
had questioned the system
whereby builders pay more
for permits if their building
costs more and yet they get
the same number of inspec-
tions.
Of the permits on which
the village lost money,
Baker said six were Ontario
Home Renewal Program
(OHRP) applications, which
require three inspections;
four permits were for $1,00q
the fee for which is $15 ant!
which cost $18 to inspect and
she said four demolition per-
mits issued did not cover the
costs.
The clerk suggested the
minimum fee could be rais-
ed, to cover these instances.
Fisher said builders
should pay for what they get.
He noted the new roof at the
Zurich Wood Products,
valued at about $27,000 costs
them $75 for permits and in-
spection. It will cost the
village only $27 to inspect he
said.
Haberer said the system
used in Zurich was the basic
system most area
municipalities use.
In other business:
Council was told some ice -
time at the arena had been
lost as there will not be a
midget hockey team in
Zurich this year.
Laporte said players had
been lost to area Junior D
teams which take the best
players from many midget
hockey programs.
"What's the point," he
asked. •:of teaching them to
play hockey and then lose
them after bantam?" He
suggested Zurich should
have its own Junior D team.
Fisher reminded council
that it should be a problem
for the minor hockey to
solve not the arena
managers
1t was reported that van-
dals driving a car on the ball
diamond had torn up part of

Vandalism is often blamed

he said it was people show-

car.
