Goderich OPP Staff Sergeant Morris hears OPP concerns E Brian Baldwin attended the Feb. 3 meeting of Morris Twp. council to discuss police protection. Baldwin covered many points including his concern about infor- mation in the press regarding OPP not listening to the people, the withholding of information by the North Huron Review committee reviewing policing, pricing, ade- quacy standards and communica- tion systems. He also said specialized services would not be free for small police departments. Bill McGrath and Arnold Taylor spoke to council about the pro- posed Wingham Recreation and Knights of Columbus Complex for Wingham. A 30-person committee will look at the $7.2 million project. Council was asked to endorse, in principle, the complex proposal, to appoint someone to sit as a member of the committee and to waive lot- tery ticket fees for fundraising pro- jects. Once the project is completed, it will be handed over to the home municipality with the exception of the Knights of Columbus Hall which will remain under their man- agement. Council approved the proposal in principle, the proposal for Wing- ham Community Complex. Chief Building Inspector Paul Josling will register for a septic inspection five-day training course, though council advised he not con- firm until after a Feb. 26 meeting in Clinton, on the issue, is held. Josling will also speak to Brian Kellington with regards to a request for a zoning amendment in Bel- grave. The amendment would cre- ate an industrial area in the community and council was of the opinion there are better places for such activities. Council agreed to loan $50,000 to the Belgrave Kinsmen for the construction of a park at the corner of Queen and Brandon Streets. The bank interest rate will be charged with the balance due in five years. Road Superintendent Lloyd Mich;e, Reeve Bert Elliott and Councillor Edna McLellan will attend the Good Roads Convention. Elliott volunteered to attend the Rural Ontario Municipalities Asso- ciation meeting, however council did not feel it was necessary. A motion was passed to bill the county for capital costs associated with the waste management plant for the landfill site. ,00-Road accounts were approved for payment in the amount of $19,411.75. A special meeting was called the following night to complete busi- ness. The decision concerning the North Huron Review Committee report was deferred until council is advised of the proposal by the county committee which was estab- lished to review restructuring. Total council expenses for 1997 were $37,775.25. Council answered a number of questions received from Don and Melva Fraser regarding work com- pleted on the Blyth Creek Drain. Most pertained to why and how repairs to the drain were done. A policy regarding drain cross- ings was approved by council. The motion stated that if a landowner requests that a crossing be incorpo- rated as part of a municipal drain, the crossing must proceed under Section 78 of the Drainage Act, with an engineer appointed and all crossing and engineer expenses assessed to the landowner request- ing the crossing. Council donated $25 each to the Lung Association and United Way and $50 to Town and Country Sup- port Services. Skukkum Kennels was hired to On Feb. 10 the Women's Missionary meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Leslie Knight. The theme for the meeting was "love" because Valentine's Day was coming. Mrs. Stuart Stevenson opened the meeting with the reading of "Love Poems." Scripture was read from 1 Corinthians Chap. 13. Hymn Jesus Loves Me was sung. The topic, given by Mrs. Stewart Steiss, was taken from the new study called "Loaves and Fishes". This study revolves around the fact that eating and drinking are spoken of many times in the Bible. There are many Biblical figures of speech that draw on images of food, feeding, bread, water and wine. Food satisfies hunger, brings pleasure, nourishes bodies and gives energy. People eat and drink at times of celebration with family and friends and food is also a sign of sympathy and affection when there is a death in the family. Mrs. Steiss ended the topic by count dogs, issues tags and licenses and collect fees, at a cost of $4 per dog. General accounts in the amount of $48,268.15,were approved for payment. reading about eating traditions around the world. Take Time to Be Holy was sung and this part of the meeting closed with The Lord's Prayer. Mrs. Knight, president, asked for the minutes of the previous meeting to be read, and roll call to be taken. Mrs. Jack Knight gave the treasurer's report. Three cards and 14 visits were made to shut-ins in the last month. The meeting closed with repeating the Mizpah Benediction. A lovely lunch was served by the hostess assisted by Mrs. Stevenson.
