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. In his opening remarks, Reeve Neilands told council the main projects facing them in the next two years are the completion of annex- ationLsenior citizens'_ hous- ing in._the village, com-• - pldting the Richmond Street drain and reconstructing the village's main street, a pro- ject which will be phased over five years. One of the first tasks fac- ing council was appointing committees for the coming term. Minnie Noakes was named the village's representative on the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority. Richard Packham was nam- ed the one-man committee in charge of the dump and Mihnie Noakes and Richard Peckham will be the village's representatives on - the Hensall Area Fire Board. John Ikea and Cecil Pepper were appointed as the streets and drains con- mittee! and Minnie Noakes and John Skea were named to the property committee. Richard Packham and CeOil Pepper will be coun- cil's representatives on the recreation and parks com- mittee and John Skea and Cecil Pepper will serve on ' the finance committee. Council also approved the re -appointment of other parks and recreation board members. The members, who have already served a term on the board, are Dan McGlincheyI Leonard Hoff- man, John Baker, Mel Wurrn and Roy Bell:' Bob Erb, owner of the BP Garage on Hwy. 4, ap- proached council to ask for :S 1 a s .;,r, x x . �N . w!,....1M••fn.•wM1sAJ;T1.
