Brussels council briefs
Bluewater rep. discusses recycling with council
A representative of Bluewater
Recycling attended the Sept. 8
meeting of Brussels council to
make a presentation.
Wendy Yamamoto-Chapman
offered information on services
available and their costs. Presently
Don Carter picks up the village
recyclables which he then takes to
Bluewater. He is paid a set fee by
the municipalities and Bluewater
then pays Brussels for the
recyclables brought in.
Presently the total garbage cost,
including landfill disposal and
recycling is $82 per household. Co
collection from Bluewater (garbage
and recyclable) would be $72.28,
which does not include the landfill
disposal site fee.
Council agreed that at this time it
would not be financially feasible to
make a change.
Rabies clinics, Sept. 24, 27
The Communicable Disease
Team of the Huron County Health
Unit, in co-operation with the
veterinarians in Huron County, are
hosting low cost Anti-Rabies
Vaccination Clinics on Sept. 24
and 27.
The cost for vaccinating your dog
or cat for rabies will be $10
including GST. Check for the
advertisement in the local
newspaper for the time that the low
cost anti-rabies vaccination clinics
will be held in your area.
The low cost clinics will be held
over the two days for convenience
to ensure owners get their pet
vaccinated. These clinics are for
rabies vaccination only. For more
information, call the health unit at
482-3416 or 1-800-265-5184 and
ask for the Communicable Disease
Team or call the local veterinarian.
Pet owners in Huron County are
reminded that it is the law (Ontario
Regulation 567/90) that owners of
dogs and cats three months of age
or over, are required to be
immunized against rabies.
In addition to organizing these
special clinics annually, the health
unit also provides Human diploid

The costing summary for OPP
servicing in the village has come in
and the news isn't good. As of Jan.
1, policing becomes a municipal
responsibility. While municipalities
do have a number of options for
providing services, Clerk-Treasurer
Donna White told council that the
1996 preliminary cost is
$82,635.56. The figure was arrived
at by using a formula which takes
the total cost of policing divided by
the number of officers per
department to obtain a "per officer"
cost.
White said that Detachment
Commander Brian Baldwin
estimates that the 1997 costs could
be lower because of staff
reductions.
"But this figure represents a $171
increase per household, yet the
province says taxes won't
increase."
physicians) for persons who have
had direct contact with an animal
that develops rabies. One way to
avoid having to take the series of
rabies vaccination shots is not to
handle any animals suspected of
having rabies, and make sure that
all cats (including those in the bam)
and dogs are vaccinated annually
against rabies.
The anti-rabies shots for cats and
dogs in Huron County is mandatory
under the Ontario Health Protection
and Promotion Act. When a dog or
cat is involved in a biting incident,
the animal must be quarantined for
10 days to determine if it develops
symptoms of rabies and dies. If the
dog or cat's anti-rabies vaccination
is current, the odds are it will be
healthy at the end of 10 days. Proof
of vaccination must be shown to
the public health inspector who is
investigating the biting incident
and has quarantined the dog or cat.
Failure to provide proof may result
in a charge being laid and a fine of
up to $5,000 for the pet owner.
Vaccinating a dog and/or cat
against rabies costs much less than
requiring rabies vaccine for a loved
one. Take advantage of the anti
rabies clinic.

Because of the downloading

hardest hit, White said, adding that
the earliest estimates show a 32 per
cent increase for a $100,000
residential assessment.
White suggested that Councillor
Ralph Watson and Greg Wilson,
the representatives on the North
Huron restructuring committee,
discuss policing costs and services
at their next meeting to see if there
would be any savings if
amalgamated.♦♦♦
Reeve Gord Workman expressed
concern over the large farming
operations being built and the
environmental impacts due to large
amounts of animal waste.
"Somebody has to start listening.
It's getting closer and closer to
Brussels. Are we going to sit and
wait until we have to start buying
water?"
Councillor Joe Seili agreed, but
establishing bylaws now that the
"big guys" are already set is only
going to squeeze out the small
producers because they won’t be
able to expand.

After some discussion, White
said she would look into areas
where council's concerns could be
communicated. Also, Workman
and Watson, are going to address
the issue at the public meetings
regarding the new county official
plan.♦**
Council supported a resolution
from Exeter opposing government's
restructuring tactics. Workman
said, " I concur, but you're wasting
money, envelopes and stamps."
White responded that while the
province may not listen it is at least
an opportunity to voice objections.

Council also supported a
recommendation from Port Stanley
commending the police services in
the province for the work they do.»♦»
A letter was received from
Superior Propane saying that as of
Nov. 1, there would now be a tank
rental fee based on litres for the fire
hall.
Council decided that this might
be the time to look into making a
switch to natural gas.
