They were concerned, Westerhout said, that when the Health Unit realizes that the program is understaffed, more employees will have to be hired, raising the cost of the program from the proposed $31 to between $100 and $200 a year. Westerhout then suggested a 10- year cycle, which had been proposed at the Huron County level as well. MacLellan said the staffing should work under Worsell’s model. He said that the program will only require the hiring of one full-time employee and the use of summer students, as many as 10 of them per year, Worsell added. Councillor Brian Barnim was also concerned about the costs, saying that while he lives in a wellhead protection area along the lakeshore, he is already subject to mandatory inspections, but because of his location, he is eligible for funding to assist him with any costs he may incur. This is a luxury that won’t be extended to all the septic system users in Huron County, he said. He also criticized the five-year cycle, saying there is no way it can be done. “It’s impossible,” Barnim said, “I can’t make it work.” MacLellan told council that the county was awaiting their response to the program. He said that every other lower tier municipality but Central Huron had responded. He said council’s vote is integral in the search for a triple majority,which is needed to pass the program.A triple majority means that amajority of Huron County councillors voted in favour of the program, a majority of lower tier municipalities voted in favour of the program and that those lower tier municipalities which voted in favour of the program comprised a majority of the county’s population. MacLellan said that a majority of Huron County councillors had already voted for the program and if Central Huron was to vote in favour of the program that a majority of thecounty’s citizens would be positivelyrepresented. However, CentralHuron would only be the fourth municipality to support the project, one short of the five needed to carry a majority. If Central Huron Council was to vote in favour of the program, MacLellan said, and he was that close to a triple majority, he felt that was something he could work with. He said he could return to some of the lower tier municipalities who weren’t in favour of the program and discuss it further with them in hopesof potentially changing their minds.Council didn’t formally vote onthe issue, saying they should wait until consideration of the issue has been publically announced. Barnim, as well as CouncillorBurkhard Metzger, both said thepublic should be notified andinformed of the meeting when the issue was going to be officially considered and voted on.

The bus ride was a project of the Montreal City Mission and supported by United Church Mission and Service dollars. The church annual Christmas Concert begins at 7 p.m. this Friday, Dec. 21. A red suited visitor will also make an appearance. The Londesborough Happy Gang Seniors hosted their December card party at the Community Hall on Friday, Dec. 14. There were just 10- and-a-half tables of euchre players that evening. Winners were: first, Bob and June Thomas, 79; second, Len and Betty Archambault, 72; third, Gerard and Lorna, 71; lone hands, Lorna and Ethel, six. Despite reports to the contrary, there will now be cards in Londesborough on the second Friday evening of January, February and March. Members of the Lions Club have stepped up to look after those evenings. During the week of Nov. 19 - 23, the AMDSB recognized anti- bullying week. A variety of activities and discussions took place at Hullett Central that week to increase awareness among the students. The Grade 7/8 class made a number of anti-bullying posters and put them up around the school. The Grade 2/3 class hung their ‘caring being’ in the hall by the office. In Kindergarten the children heard the story of “Albert’s Old Shoes” and identified the emotions that are triggered when a person is the object of bullying - sadness, anger and loneliness. The Grade 3/4 class also discussed related material, concluding all forms of bullying are unacceptable. The children all seemed to think they would help anyone being bullied and report the behaviour to a teacher. Every day in Grade 4/5 is stated to be an anti-bullying day. They talked a lot about respecting one another and promoting kind behaviour. Mrs. Campbell Taylor’s class adopted the motto “be a buddy, not a bully”.
