Huron council endorsed an executive committee recommendation Thursday to strike a committee to study the problem. But the idea, as it did when first pro- posed a year ago, attracted criticism Thursday. This time, concern came from within council. Conn. Gerry Prout, reeve of Usborne Township, said the county's property committee should review building use. "In my thinking, you don't need another committee to do what the present committee can do," said Prout. "I feel this is rather an insult to the present committee and I disagree with it." Prout and others also said involving Goderich representatives, as well as the town of Goderich's administrator or ap- pointee, unnecessarily catered to Goderich's earlier concern. There had been speculation that the county would move its offices into the va- cant Huronview building following con- truction of the new facilities, leaving the historic Goderich county seat in the courthouse. The committee is to consist of the county warden, as chairman, Goderich Reeve Harry Worsell, Zurich Reeve Robert Fisher and Grey Township Reeve Leona Armstrong. Resource people will include the county clerk -administrator, and the clerk -treasurer for the town of Goderich or a non -elected person ap- pointed by Goderich Town Council as an alternative, Clerk -administrator Bill Hardy told council the agriculture and property com- mittee currently has no jurisdiction over Huronview and may examine the situa- tion for several years; longer than the one-year life of any council committee. The vote was called twice, after which Warden Dave Johnston asked that the vote be recorded since he was unable to decide how many were for and against, since it appeared that numerous coun- cillors had not voted either way. A new bridge nearing completion to replace Balls Bridge, northeast of Ben - miller now has a name and an official opening date. County council agreed last week to go with the functional name proposed by Colborne Township Council. The bridge will be know as the Colborne-Goderich Township Boundary Bridge. An official opening is expected in ear- ly October. An open, public question period will conclude all county council sessions, Huron council agreed Thursday. A recommendation of the executive committee as part of its recent review of council's standing rules and procedures, the move is the latest of several made toward a more open county government. Recently, all department heads began attending executive meetings, as well as county council's monthly sessions. • Warden Dave Johnston has saki that was to make it easier for executive members and county councillors to ask directly about specific concerns over various departments. The question period, which results from a direct request of the executive commit- tee from Elsa Haydon, a longtime observer of local municipal politics and a columnist for Focus newsmagazine. Fittingly, Haydon was the first, and on- ly, member of the press gallery to utilize the new question period Thursday. She thanked council for incorporating it. As recently as four or five years ago, much of the county's business was tran- sacted behind closed doors at in -camera committee meetings. Now, those committee meetings, though rarely attended by either the public or the media, are usually open. County councillors may now spend up to $50 to eat each day they are out-of- town on approved county business. The boost from $35 to $50 for daily ex- penses was among recommendations made when the county's executive com- mittee recently reviewed the convention policy. Council also endorsed the conunittee's recommendation that each councillor be allowed to attend one convention annual- ly, while those on more than one commit- tee may attend more, as may committee chairmen.

Homemakers, to hold information meeting CLINTON - "We think there are a lot of services available for seniors and han= dicapped adults that are now known to the people and their families." This, explained Bev Brown, the coor- dinator of volunteers and home support programs for Town and Country Homemakers (TCH), is, the main reason this agency will hold an information meeting at the legion here on October 4. With the rapid growth of the senior citizen population in Huron County, such a meeting is helpful to all involved. In Clinton alone, 20 per cent of the popula- tion is 65 or over, and the average for this age group in the five surrounding townships is 14 per cent. Therefore, Town and Country Homemakers is inviting a, number of ser- vice groups to attend the meeting and in- form the public of just what is available. Services which need to be developed in this area will also be ,explored. "Right from the beginning, the aim of Town and Country Homemakers has been to keep people as free and independent as possible," said Miss Brown. The agen- cy was founded in 1978 by Jean Young, the current executive director. Some families are probably over- burdened with caring for their loved ones, Miss Brown said, but they just don't realize there are so many services to turn to. Each group invited to the meeting will be giving a short presentation, up to 3 to 5 minutes, and Miss Brown said all the service clubs, churches, schools, govern- ment services, Women's Institutes, seniors groups and local councils have been invited to attend. In 1987, TCH held such a meeting in Goderich and received a good response. "We got many RSVPs and expected about 37 people. I think we had 65 show up and it was a great sharing tithe," she said. Included among the groups at the • • Goderich meeting were the MacKay Cen- tre for Seniors, the Enterprising Seniors from Holmesville, the Bluewater Youth Centre, Public Health, Home Care, Com- munity Living and an •Alzheimer's Sup- port Group. Many organizations have been invited to the Clinton meeting, which is to begin at 7:30 p.m., but Miss Brown stressed that any interested individual or organization can contact the TCH Home Support Office at 1-800-265-3039 if they want more information. "This is an opportunity for all service providers in the Clinton area to tell peo- ple about' their services," commented Miss Brown. "It is also a real opportuni- ty for people to come and hear firsthand about the services and meet the service providers face-to-face." All the organizations are also invited to bring along their brochures, and Miss Brown added that even if they don't wish to make a presentation, they can at least take back the information they gather to their respective groups. All service providers are very willing to go out and talk to organizations about their services. Anyone looking for a guest speaker can certainly talk to people (at this meeting)." The date again for this information meeting is Wednesday, October 4 at the Clinton Legion, 95 ICirk Street, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Refreshments will be serv- ed after the meeting. ' Area youth winner A Seaforth area youth has won second prize in a youth poster and drawing com- petition held in conjunction with the Fifth International Aids Conference held in Mon- treal earlier this summer. Adam Agar was informed recently that his poster, depicting two friends who re- main friends even after one of them con- tracts AIDS, was selected by a panel of judges for a second prize in the under 15 age group category. Over 100 posters were received from four provinces in response to the contest, which was sponsored by the Canadian Red Cross Society. The society believes that knowldge about AIDS is the best defense people can have against the disease. If You Use A Computer, You Can Earn Extra Income. There's a cumputer boom in farm country.
