Help create book to honour county's veterans By Sarah Mann Focus News Magazine A book about Second 'World War veterans is being put together and organizer Jim Rutledge is asking for the public's help. "I'd love to talk to any veterans or children of veterans who are interested in sharing their stories, photos and letters," he said. The book, with the working title The Men and Women of Honour, will be about area veterans who didn't come home, as well as those who came home and have since passed away or are still alive. "We know it's going to be three or more years until everything is together, but the priority right now is to speak with the boys who are still alive," he said. "I spent two and-a- half hours with Bob Leckie this morning. What stories he has." Upon completion, the book will provide background information, military histories and stories. On Jan. 11, a county-wide public meeting was held at the Huron County Museum in Goderich with 25 people from Bayfield, Wingham, Blyth, Crediton, Exeter, Clinton, Goderich and Seaforth in attendance. THE EDITOR, In my experience, being the only female candidate in this past election, women are not truly respected in politics in this riding. One of the candidates was patronizing, which can cause women to feel like second-class citizens. Two candidates felt they could interrupt me and talk excessively, and would dominate the debate disrespectfully. One of the candidates would always say that women should stay home with their children. This' is blatantly rude. I hope that in the future, more THE EDITOR, You have probably received dozens of letters praising the hydro crews, but we'd like to add our praise, respect, and thanks to the hydro crews who worked under such terrible conditions to restore power across the area.

The third facet is the child video program that requires videotaping kindergarten, Grades 4 and 8 at Brussels and Grey Central Public Schools. Usually, a couple of mornings is all it takes to "It went well," Rutledge said. "Considering we were competing with the (all-candidates meeting). I saw about 15 people who said they would have come but went to that instead. And I understand that." And interest hasn't stopped. "I get phone calls and e-mails every day," he said. In a letter sent out to various publications, churches and Legions, Rutledge said, "It is our desire that future generations will better understand and appreciate our men and women of honour." A committee was formed at the last meeting to apply for financial assistance. The small committee consists of two teachers and two members of the recent Veteran's Celebration Committee. "We are hopeful that a Legion, historical society or museum will work with us and be a partner and act as a sponsor should we be successful in obtaining funds," the letter read. As the project continues, another committee will be formed to provide guidance on what should be placed in the book and what sort of format should be followed. It was Rutledge's father who, in essence, provoked him to start the women can be involved in politics, for we need to ensure that we were treated respectfully without being patronized, interrupted, or belittled. I could hardly believe the prejudiced and derogatory comments I heard from some of the candidates. We need more women involved in the community, and more men who are willing to ensure the equal treatment of women in the political arena. Sincerely, Victoria Serda Huron-Bruce Green Party Candidate 2006. In our case, we know the crew was working past midnight in blowing snow pulling the downed powerlines out of the river. We really appreciate their courage and dedication. Sincerely, Jim and Pat Barnes, RR#5, Brussels. accomplish this. Joining on the youth committee, you could help with one or all of the facets.

"My dad was in the air force and my mom always said he came back a different person. He didn't talk about what happened, he wasn't as affectionate, he was just a different person," Rutledge said. "And then he died, and I started to follow him and what he did when he was in the air force. I'm much closer to him now than when he was alive." Rutledge said a lot of veterans have certain experiences they can't, or don't want to talk about, and that's OK. "If I see it's disturbing them I MacLellan suggests a 3% increase Continued from page 1 involves. Huron East councillor Bernie MacLellan said he felt that even with the new money, the county should plan for a three per cent tax rate increase to keep up with inflation. Warden Rob Morley reminded council that it would take a 3.5 per cent increase just to cover fixed costs. As well, the initial proposals from senior staff had been for a larger budget increase. If the provincial money is to be ongoing perhaps those original requests need to be re-examined, he suggested. "This is the• reason for recommending a deferral (of budget approval)" Morley said. "Two' weeks (delay) won't set the county back on its heels." Whether-the funding is long-term or not, "I would assume we have nowhere to go but down (with the tax increase)," Morley said. don't pressure them.
