Seili questions applicantsof Huron Heritage Fund
Several projects receiving funding
from the Huron Heritage Fund
raised eyebrows at the final session
of the current term of Huron County
Council on Nov. 24.
Huron East Mayor Joe Seili had
raised the issue of criteria for the
funding at an earlier meeting and the
approval was tabled, scheduled to
return at the Nov. 24 meeting
after Beth Ross, director of
cultural services, did some further
research.
He said he felt the money
shouldn’t be given to projects like
plays and history books (both of
which were approved this year) and
rather projects like preserving
historic structures within Huron
County.
Initially, the recommendation was
tabled because Seili said he thought
Morris-Turnberry had received
funding for its history book once
before and it was slated to be
approved again this year.
After looking into it, however,
Ross said the book had not received
any previous grants from the Huron
Heritage Fund.
While the criteria had been
changed several times over the
years, there was nothing in the
current guidelines that would restrict
books and plays from being
approved for the funding.
Soon-to-be Huron East Mayor
Bernie MacLellan shared Seili’s
concern, saying that it wasn’t the
book that concerned him as much as
the play (Narcisse, a play
commissioned by the St. Joseph and
Area Historical Society).
Seili agreed, saying that Huron
County has plenty of playwrights
who may be struggling to pay bills
as they write plays who aren’t being
subsidized by the county.
MacLellan said he felt the book
was a reasonable request because
once it’s printed, it can be put on a
shelf, preserved and referred to over
the years, whereas with a play, it’s
produced and then that’s the end of
it.
Central Huron Deputy-Reeve
John Bezaire argued that culture is
one of Huron County’s four pillars
and that it doesn’t receive anywhere
close to the amount of attention that
the other three pillars receive.
“We did put forward four pillars
and we felt it was important enough
to make it the foundation on which
we wish to build our county,” he
said. “This is a small investment
compared to what we’ve dedicated
to the rest of our pillars.”
The recommendation was
approved, authorizing $20,000 in
grants to six projects that were
approved.
Three of the projects were books,
including the Morris-Turnberry
history book, a 175th anniversary
history book for Port Albert, a
Goderich Township families book
for Alison Lobb and one was a play,
Narcisse for the St. Joseph and Area
Historical Society.

Michael Semenuik entertained that
afternoon with Christmas melodies
and other familiar and favourite
tunes.
There were also door prizes. An
afghan donated by Marie Krauter
will keep Joe Gibson warm this
winter. Ruth Vincent can be assured
of signing her name in fine style
with a pen and holder made by Milt
Dale. Wilmer Glousher will be
serving cheese and crackers this
Christmas season using a cheese
board and knife donated by Betty
Millar. The poinsettia offered by the
Happy Gang Seniors will decorate
the home of Don Greidanus. The
strains of “We Wish You A Merry
Christmas” warmed everyone for
the journey home and the Christmas
season.
