The Citizen, 1999-09-08, Page 9THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1999. PAGE 9. OPP contract stalls again as county debates issue The page Steven Crawford, son of Hugh and Joanne of Grey Twp. was page at the September session of county council. The Grade 8 student was introduced by Reeve Robin Dunbar. There was disagreement at the Sept. 2 meeting of Huron County council whether or not the province is moving closer to signing a con­ tract for county-wide OPP policing in Huron. Huron's contract calls for the OPP to police all of the county except the Town of Wingham which wants to retain its own police force. Initially officials in the solicitor general’s office had objected to signing an agreement that did not cover the entire county but Lynn Murray, county clerk administrator said a meeting with the deputy solicitor general seemed to indicate the province may be coming part way to Huron’s posi­ tion. “The province has softened its stand but hasn't come all of the way to make it palatable for Wing­ ham,” she said. But during question period, Larry McCabe, clerk-administrator of the Town of Goderich, which has opposed Wingham keeping its police force, said his reading of correspondence from the solicitor general’s office seemed to strength­ en the view that the contract must involve the entire county. Warden Carol Mitchell said the county’s position has not changed, that it wants to allow Wingham to keep its force as long as it wishes.

Huron County council has decid­ ed not to purchase a 200 Kw gener­ ator to provide heat at the homes for the aged in case of heating sys­ tem breakdowns at the beginning of year 2000. A motion to buy a $45,000 gen­ erator which would have been trucked between Huronview and Huronlea in case of a heating fail­ ure was defeated by the administra­ tion, finance and personnel committee and that vote was upheld by county council.

Rev. Paul Ross lit the Christ Candle. The worship service was a celebration of scripture and song. In scripture from Genesis 3 God told Adam that because he had not followed rules he would regret it. The Sabbath Day should be kept as free from work as possible, a day of rest. The scripture for this was from Exodus 20. The next scripture was from Nehemiah 4. Here the workers on the wall had weapons for protection against enemies. “God is always with us as we work,” said Rev. Ross. Scripture from 2 Thessalonians 3 was read. Paul told his disciples to not associate with evil people and to always be willing workers. Of course this is what everyone must willingly do. Rev. Ross continued with scripture from Matthew 21. Two young men were given orders by their father -one said “No” but then went and did as asked. The second said “yes” but did not do his work. Who was in the wrong? These are all acts that must be remembered, said Rev. Ross. The offering was received by Shirley Andrews and her granddaughter, Erica.
