ensuII council has inaugural meeting
• Rev. Stan \ MacDonald
challenged the members of
Hensall council to be
"creative rebels" at the
• council's inaugural meeting
M nday night. Three
m .,,of council, ,John
Sit , Cecil Pepper and Min-
nio Noakes, are newcomers
On council, although Mrs.
Noakes, a former village
reeve, served on council
isoijne years ago.
'The village also hada new
reeve, former councillor
Paul Neilands. Richard
Packham, the fifth member
of !' council, was re-elected
foe his second term on coun-
cili
in his address, Rev.
McDonald said the in-
augural meeting was of ut-
st importance to every
ci yiten, "and "every
raepayer, taxpayer and
voter should be out to the in-
augural- meeting of council."
The only ratepayer atten-
ding the meeting, in addition
to ; village staff, was Bob
Erb, who later made a
presentation to council an a
zoning matter.
Rev.. MacDonald told
council villagers expect
good administration,
guidance and direction in
1981 from council, and then
challenged council "to be
the rebels of Hensall". He
said he was advocating a
rebellion that is natural, pur-
pdseful and creative, one
that helps meet the situation
of life.'
Following Rev.
MacDonald's address, clerk
Betty Oke swore • in the
reeve, councillors and the
former village reeve, Harold
Knight, who is now a PUC
commissioner. Mr. Knight
said jokingly he'd leave right
after the swearing in
ceremony, in case he started
to speak to a council matter
out of habit. The former
reeve was a member of
council for 19 years before
deciding to run for the RUC.

ject which will be phased

in charge of the dump and
Mihnie Noakes and Richard

Pepper were appointed as
the streets and drains con-
mittee! and Minnie Noakes
and John Skea were named

cil's representatives on the
