HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1983-06-22, Page 14A14 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, JUNE 22, 1983 Brusseis Post Short Shots by Evelyn Kennedy Benavente, a Nobel prize winner , wrote in his book these words "There is something more sacred than a grave: a cradle. There is something greater than the past: the future." The Royal couple received a tumultuous welcome when they arrived in Halifax last week. Thousands, on that beautiful sunny day waited for them. Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales, on appearance, were accorded a spontaneous outburst of cheers and hand clapping, expressing the goodwill, loyalty and respect of that multi- tude of delighted, smiling faces. Diana was clearly the dearling of the crowds. She did not disappoint them. In the walk abouts, some unscheduled, she did not pass them by with a smile and a wave. She paused to shake hundreds of outstretch- ed hands and speak with each person. She stopped to chat and lauglh with children and bent to pay special attention to the aged and those in wheelchairs. Charles, gracious and charming, shook hands with many and talked, with unfeigned interest, to them. He even gave a kiss to a determined young lady when she refused to let go of his hand until he did. A young man, who waited long and eagerly to see Diana, was not so lucky. He shook hands and spoke with her but did not get the birthday kiss he had hoped for but said she was a beautiful charming lady. Fog and rain marred the rest of their visit in the Maritimes but there were always crowds waiting for them and gala events in their honor. When fog grounded the helicopter that was to fly them to two towns the crowds awaiting them groaned but erupted in cheers when told the Royal couple would arrive, but late, as they would go by car. At last we have had two delightful sunny weekends with the same warm days between them. Folks will be flocking to the beaches of Lake Huron for swimming and sunbathing, the young seeking the tan of the sun. Beware of too much of the sun. There is danger in its rays. Too much exposure to them can cause sun stroke, skin cancer and heat prostration. Excessive drying of your skin causes wrinkles to mar your complexion. Those wrinkles, girls, become more noticeable with every passing year. Be careful in the choice of sunglasses. Some do not exclude the rays that can seriously damage your eyesight. Love is like the frosting on a cake. You can live without it but it does make life better and living worth while. Life is dull and drab if you love no one and no one loves you. It is what brings sunshine and happiness to our every day. Nurture and cherish it. Without love life can indeed be very dreary.

Guest speaker veterinarian Dr. Terry Johnston, showed ex- amples of dehorning calves and the removing of extra teats from young dairy heifers. This was followed by the judging of a three and a two-year-old class of cows. Members discussed spec- ial management practices and disease prevention in beef and dairy. The next Meeting was set for July 14. Rec.committee buys land for X20,000 The 'Brussels, Morris and Orey recreation committee has finalized agreements to purchase land equal to six village lots from Jean Workman. The land abuts the commun- ity centre property. Purchase price was 520,000. r "The land provides additional room for overflow parking and gives us a second exit from the centre," says Wayne Lowe, chairman of the recreation committee. Other possibilities include added space if the annual fall fair moves to the community centre and creation of another park for the kids. "1 have heard lots of favorable comments with regards to a park,” says councillor Betty Graber. "It's (the land) going to be a big advantage," says Mr. Lowe. "We still have future plans for the community centre." WANTS CHANGE The -former Sunoco station is for sale and Ivan Campbell, real estate agent. has a buyer, providing the property is changed from residential to commercial zoning. Prospective buyers, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Toth, wish to build an addition to the rear of the garage. "There is all kinds of room." says Mr. Campbell. "We can't make any promises to change the zoning," says reeve Cal Krauter. "The chahge must first be approved by council. then the Huron County Planning Board and finally, a public meeting must be held. We will see if it can be changed, but we can't do it on our own." "1 think the place would look better with a piece on the back and painted up," Mr. Campbell says. "There will be no storage of Bly used cars, It will be used for car repair, service station and a body shop. 1 don't think there will be any objections from the neighbours." Surrounding residents indicated in writing that they have no objection to the addition. "If the neighbourhood wants to see it open, then it would look like hell if council turned it down," Mr. Campbell says. Council favored a zoning change, provid- ing it was approved across-the-board. There was some concern about opening a body shop in a residential area when there are already four body shops in the village. COUNCIL BRIEFS Secretary of the .fire department, Harold Bridge, has resigned from his position. Building permits were approved for Ralph Rowland, new garage; Mrs. Murray, new, roof; St. John's Anglican Church, new roof for manse; Mrs. Charlie Fisher, new addition; Frank Thompson, new roof; Joe Brewer, new roof; Gerald Wheeler, install car wash; Karen Cardiff, new siding; Mayne Thompson, new roof and Archie Holmes, replace partial roof. Council increased their grant to the Horticultural Society to $300 to assist in payment for flowers for the flower boxes lining Turnberry Street. The society will be asked to help plant the boxes which are not being planted by the box owners. "They're doing a good job," says councillor Ten Pas. "The tulips at the arena and park sure looked good," adds councillor Graber.
