Be prou
Residents of Wingharn and area
should be very proud of the town's
historic town hall theatre, so says
no less an authority than Canadian
music legend Sylvia Tyson.
Tyson was in Wingham last
Thursday evening for a concert as
part of the "Centre Stage" series.
One week earlier, Murray
McLaughlan visited town and this
Thursday evening, Nov. 23, a new
family act, The Wilkinson, is ap-
pearing at 8 p.m.
Tyson brought her familiar blend
of folk and country to a large and
appreciative audience in Wingham
last week. In a brief interview dur-
ing intermission, Tyson says she
enjoys playing small halls like
Wingham's because of the acous-
tics, as well as the opportunity to
establish an intimate rapport with
the audie.nce.
Many small towns across Canada
have torn down their halls, notes
Tyson and that is ,a shame. "The
people of Wingham are lucky to
have this hall," she says.
It is hard to believe that Tyson
has been in the music business for
35 years. A native of Chatham, Syl-
via was part of the ground -breaking
folk and country duo of "Ian and
Sylvia" with then -husband Ian Ty-
son. As the story goes, Bob Dylan
played "Blowin' In The Wind" for
the couple in New York City dur-
ing the early 1960s, inspiring them
to try their hand at songwriting.
The result was Ian's "Four Strong
Winds" and Sylvia's "You Were
On My Mind", both of which be-
• came hits as covered by other art-
ists.

province very
concerning
The rescue van purchase was dis-
cussed at the first November meet-
ing of Teeswater council, as it had
been at the second October meet-
ing. Last month, Teeswater council
learned that a price of $66,028 had
been quoted on the van, but mem- •
bets asked that a price be received
on extra seating and an electric
winch.
Extra seating is not wadable,
Teeswater council learned last
week. However, the cost of the
winch is $2,850.
Some residents of Morris Town-
ship are concerned the Brusselsoof-
fice of the Huron County Health
Unit (HCHU) would be closed due
to cutbacks from the provincial
government.
Morris Township council would
like to see the HCHU office in
Brussels remain open, because
many people from the . township
use the office on a regular basis.
Council received an usage report
from the Brussels HCHU office at
its Nov. 7 meeting. The Brussels
office activities was an estimate for
groups from the autumn of 1994 to
the autumn of 1995.
Numerous groups used the office
on a regular basis including the
Brussels -Morris -Grey diabetes pro-
ject, parenting sessions for single'
parents, mom's morning out, adult
health clinics which are ,being dis-
continued next month and , many
other activities. Some programs are
held in conjunction with the Wing -
ham office and others as part of a
county -wide program. Some ses-
sions are held in the spring and oth-
ers in the fall.
As well, the office is also used
for meeting for consultation with
The Ark,planning meetings with
individuals or groups, immuniza-
tions, drop-ins.for health informa-
tion and counselling.
It was noted that most of these
groups are for seniors or young
parents who do not always have
easy access to transportation.
The public health nurses have an
added rola in providing liaison, re-
sources and referrals as hospital re-
sources are not as easily accessed
from Brussels.

Teeswater contributes one-third
toward the cost of the van under a
cost-sharing agreement with Cul-
ross Township. As Teeswater
Clerk -Treasurer Kendra Reinhart
noted, the village has $30,000 in a
reserve for fire.
There was some discussion over
a proposal from the firefighters' as-
sociation to donate $15,000 toward
the van purchase. Most members of
Teeswater council agreed that the
van should be ordered now with de-
livery early in 1996.
Finally, Teeswater gave its ap-
proval to order the van at a pur-
chase price of $66,028 and $2,850
for the winch, plus taxes. The ap-
proval is conditional upon the fire-
fighters' association contributing
$15,000 and Culross agreeing to
pick• up its share.
