Huron East council briefs
Council gets info
on Connect Ont.
Huron East council heard a presen-
tation from Carol Leeming, of Huron
County, concerning the Connect
Ontario program at its Oct. 16 meet-
ing. Connect Ontario is a provincial "
funding initiative to enhance the use
of information and communication
technology in Ontario communities.
The program is designed to help
local governments provide services
over the internet, promoie e-com-
merce for business and industry, as
well as, develop community portals
for information and geographip
information systems.
Huron and Perth Counties are plan-
ning to submit a joint application and
they hope to involve local municipal-
ities, school boards, economic devel-
opment organizations, hospitals and
others as community partners.
The first stage of the program is
designed to allow the partners to
develop, a business plan.
The Huron-Perth group would be
eligible for up to $50,000 of match-
ing funds to complete this plan with-
in one year. The Huron Business
Development Corporation has
already agreed to commit $15,000
towards the project.
Huron East council passed a
motion expressing its support in prin-
ciple for the project.
***
Huron East declared Nov. 25-Dec.
6, as White Ribbon Days in support
of the White Ribbon Campaign
against violence towards women.
***
Council was informed by
Recreation and Facilities Manager
Graham Nesbitt that the repairs to the
Vanastra .Recreation Centre roof
were about three weeks behind due
to the weather. He still believes that
with a break in the weather it will be
completed this fall.
***
Council approved the payment of
invoices in the amount of
$278,249.21.
***
The Municipality of Huron East
has issued 173 building permits for
construction valued at $10,675,000.
The total fees charged for the permits
was $68,012.

Isn't it great to be Canadian and
have all types of weather that we
have available to comment and com-
plain about? It just seems natural to
make a public statement about the
condition of the sky and air — as if we
had charge of it.
Anyway it's a beautiful fall day as
I write this and the trees are still
holding onto their beauty for a few
more winds. Ah, the changing sea-
sons.
We have a new neighbour on Tory
Hill — Jeanie Mathers, from uptown
Bluevale had the troops organized on
Saturday to get her treasures trans-
planted to the Huronlea Apartments,
Feel free Jean to slip over to rake the
flying leaves or dig a little in the dirt.
Welcome to you.
The folks at Braemar in Wingham
are pleased to welcome their good
friend Ida Evans to the clan. She'll
have things organized to her liking
very soon. Good move Ida.
The mannequins at 5Rs on Friday
and Saturday were a real hit Little
Bo Peep, the pink witch and the pur-
ple-haired fisherman seemed to out-
shine the rest. We had two great days
of fun. Wow — 10 years in business.
Thanks to all the good sports in the
windows, at the keyboard, lunch
servers, visitors and of course good
customers. The winners of the deco-
rative bags were — Kathy Joslin,
Rose Horne and Ruth Vogan.
Lots of spirit was evident as the
auction items caused angst and gig-
gles.
Trillium funds are the source for
the Huron Rising Stars — a partner-
ship with Town and Country and
Sheatre. You're invited to the grand
launch of this endeavour at the
Dining for Seniors Nov. l at the
United Church. Call Marguerite
Thomas at 887-6995 about "growing
Older Bolder" with questions or
bookings.
The folks at the United church are
getting ready for your visit on Friday
and Saturday for their silent auction.
One more chance to get a head start
on your festive shopping.
The Citizen of the Year Award will
be presented on Sunday after church
to the Scotts. Nelva and Spence are
being recognized for all the good
things they did in our community —
join us at the United Church for
lunch and tell Nelva who she and
Spence made an improvement in
your life. ,
Another good week in Brussels.
We are blessed.
Bye now, Betty G. W.
At the Branch
By Jo-Ann McDonald
It was a week of beginnings and
celebration at the Brussels Legion.
The Wednesday night men's night
got off to a quiet start as many of the
farmers still have a lot of work
ahead of them so there were only a
few present. Next week is cribbage.
The Thursday night mixed blind
darts had 12 - 15 players. There is
room for lots more. Start time is 8
p.m.
The Friday night supper of chick-
en wings had a small crowd. This
Friday night sweet and sour chicken
chunks are on the menu.
