The Huron Expositor, 1996-07-10, Page 3News and Views Duron County Council 'This is going to continue to fester' CONTINUED from page 1 thevoice of the people. But he promised the defeat - any action in response. Contacted Monday, Cunningham said he had thought about the issue all weekend and could not believe free speech in a free country could be so curtailed by people elected to represent ed motion will not kill the question of the letters. "This is going to continue to fester," said Cunningham. "Y:.0 can't just sweep some- thing like this under the table." `Don't know of any county where coordinator is a volunteer' CONTINUED from page I an important job", is appoint- ed by a provincial order -in - council, and has many responsibilities that must be met, including coordinating an emergency fire service plan for the county, which must be submitted to the fire marshall's office for approval; reviewing and maintaining records of all equipment in fire depart- ments across the county; encouraging and arranging training for county fire departments; and being aware of the manpower the county's fire departments have during the day. These duties were all per- formed by a volunteer fire chief when Reid held the position, and he noted, "I don't know of any other county where the coordinator is a volunteer chief." Trowsdale. explained that while there is no legislation that states there must be a mutual aid system, the sys- tem was set up "primarily to benefit member municipali- ties", so that small munici- palities do not have to pur- chase all the equipment nec- essary to fight a major fire, such as two pumper trucks, but can rely on the assistance of other municipalities in the event of a major blaze. And although the mutual aid system is not legislated, Trowsdale stated, "The Fire Marshall's Office is still working towards filing the position" of coordinator by suggesting the meeting between fire chiefs and municipalities. Taste of Country on July 20 in Blyth A Taste of Country Food Fair, a popular fundraising event for Blyth Festival for the past two years, offers the opportunity for food produc- ers to promote their products directly to the public. The third annual Food Fair will be held July 20 at the Blyth and District Community Centre from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Hundreds of people visit the Fair to taste samples of everything from eggs to emu, pork to pheas- ant. They can also pick up recipes and buy products directly from growers that they couldn't get, in an ordi- nary supermarket. The event is topped off with a gourmet picnic barbecue featuring appetizers that include such rarities a emu pate and quail eggs, and four different meats, a variety of salads and dessert. The Festival is Looking for new exhibitors to add even more variety to the 1996 Food Fair. It's an opportunity for food producers to pro- mote their products to hun- dreds of people attending the Fair. Anyone who is interest- ed in taking part can contact Keith Roulston at 523-4792 (days) or 523-9636 (evenings). Recording seniors' stories top priority CONTINUED from page 1 with private interest groups is important. He mentioned the recent partnership which led to the Sky Harbour museum at Goderich Airport. "Eight or nine aviation enthusiasts got together and raised $10,000. They got space in the "airport. The museum established an off- site gallery which is run by the museum and assisted by a group of dedicated citizens. That's the kind of partnership I'm prepared to be involved with," said Breede. If the county ran a "satellite museum" it would be con- trolled by the Huron County Museum but stay in Seaforth. Hosts Muegge and Campbell brought discussion back to the main focus of the evening which was to catego- rize and prioritize ideas and look at what could be put into action and the people who would be interested. Campbell said, for example, what if someone took it upon themselves to explore an insurance group rate for fire protection for property own- ers interested in preserving heritage items. "That's a local business opportunity with community benefits, etc." "Clause (Breede) is right about reality checks. The days of government help arc coming to a close," said Campbell. She stressed build- ing partnerships and having economic growth potential. Latham said if Seaforth set up a historical society, com- mercial terms wouldn't be emphasized.• He said the Huron branch has been active for 32 years and to present 25 municipal history books have been published. To become a member of the Ontario Historical Society only costs $15 a year and they sent information on how to form a historical society, said Latham. Huron produces his- torical notes every year. Further questions to curator Breede revealed that if Seaforth agreed to open a satellite museum of the Huron County branch .the material- becomes part of the county, collection. This arrangement can only take place if the town is first in ownership of the collection. The county museum won't enter into an'agreement if it's. an individual's private collec- tion. CATEGORIZING Ideas from the last brain- storming session were posted on the wall under the head- ings of: research; inventory; establishing a historical soci- ety; municipal role and direc- tion; business opportunities, partnerships with education; opportunity to showcase and display; publicity and com- munications; partnership with private sectors. Those present were asked to identify the top two things under each category that were most important and could be achieved. The top two priority items overall were recording the stories of seniors and figuring out what memorabilia and artifacts are already here in Seaforth. Breede said he'd be willing to set up a one -day workshop on inventory and cataloguing. There was discussion on whether the group should be a committee of town council or if LACAC should be involved" or'not or whether we could use their knowledge -of inventory. No hard deci- sions were made on structure except to name the core group and to meet regularly. Approximately 20 people said they were interested in continuing to meet after the first meeting. However, only 14 could make it last Thursday night. The next meeting of the Heritage Preservation Committee will be Thursday, September 12 at 7:30 p.m. in the second floor council chambers of town hall.
