CATHERINE MOFFAT Catherine Moffat, formerly of Wingham and Wroxeter passed Brussels council says no need to bum leaves There will be no need to burn leaves in Brussels this year because residents can have their leaves vac­ uumed up and taken away. Village councillors agreed Mon­ day night to set Monday Oct. 26 and Monday, Nov. 9 as dates when residents could have their leaves raked to the curbside for pick up. Council has made an agreement with Carter Waste Disposal to use the company's leave vacuum to suck up the piled leaves. The leaves will then be composted on village property. Councillors suggested the new service should bring an end to the habit of burning leaves that each year brings complaints from neigh­ bours and people suffering breath­ ing problems.

THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7,1992. PAGE 7. County sets up steering committee Huron County will set up a steer­ ing committee to study whether or not Huron should have a District Health Council (DHC) and, if so, whether it should operate on its own or have a joint health council with a neighbouring county. But Huron County councillors made it evident at Thursday's monthly meeting, that they wanted to option to be able to not go ahead with the DHC if they decided it isn't in the best interest of the coun­ ty's residents. A DHC helps co­ ordinate the best use of health facilities in a region to reduce over­ lap. Most areas of the province already have DHC's. Hullett Reeve Tom Cunningham wanted it under­ stood the county was retaining the right not to go ahead with the DHC. "At the end of the road if it is Council's wish that we don't get involved we don't want the Min­ istry (of Health) to think we've made a commitment. I don't feel we should be getting involved (with a steering committee) if we are not able to withdraw." Warden Robert Fisher said the Board of Health had been aware of that concern and so had added a clause in the mandate of the com­ mittee that it "recommend whether or not a district health council should be established for Huron County." Bill Mickle, Board of Health chairman and reeve of Exeter, said that the Ministry of Health official had been at the Sept. 29 meeting of the Huron Health and Social Ser­ vices Liaison Committee and had suggested that Huron would not be able to go on its own in a DHC since each DHC must have a mini­ mum population of 100,000. Later, he said, investigations by county staff indicated this wasn't so. Reeve Mickle said he also ques­ tioned whether or not district health councils may be redundant since the Orser Commission report on comprehensive Health System Planning had suggested that all of Western Ontario from Windsor to Owen Sound be included in one large medical services area with a board empowered to say how Min istry of Health money wold be allo­ cated to various facilities in the region. "I think we want to move ahead and explore through the steering committee but we have to keep all our options open," Reeve Mickle said. "The recommendation to the Ministry (from the steering com­ mittee) could be no DHC or one for Huron only."
