said it won't be too difficult
to get the system running in
Egmondville once council's
committee works out how it
will operate and be billed.
But instead of turning the
water on all at once, Forrest
said they will bring one
section of the community
onto Seaforth's system at a
time to avoid issues such as
stirring up too much
sediment that will come
through people's water.
Forrest said there will be
some sediment no matter
what but that it won't take
long to clear it out of the
system.
"We want to try and do it
with the least amount of
problems," said Forrest.
Until the committee starts
making some progress,
Forrest said Huron East has
no idea when Egmondville
will be officially connected
to the system.
Personnel committee
formed
Meanwhile, a personnel
committee has also been
formed after Mayor Lin
Steftler pushed for the need
to have one to handle a
number of personnel matters

That committee is made up

County Plowmen seek funding
from Huron East council
By Scott Hilgendorff
Expositor Editor
A request for continued
support of the Huron County
Plowmen's Association has
been referred to the budget
process, a draft of which is
expected to be on Huron East
council's committee table on
'rake the hard work

April 24.
Graeme Craig and George
Townsend were at Huron
East Council's April 3
meeting to request continued
funding for this year. The
money requested is the
combined contribution of all
five municipalities that now
form Huron East. All five
had previously contributed to
the association whic% hosts
the Huron County Plowing
Match each year.
Both stressed the
importance the association
and plowing matches have
for the area and Townsend
stressed how much the
association has benefited
youth.
Three youth from Huron
East have represented
Canada at the international
level and eight in Huron East
have been eligible for college
scholarships through their
involvement in plowing.
"One of our main goals is
to keep our youth involved in
the plowing match," said
Townsend.
Craig pointed out that
without a county -level
association, Huron County
could not have been host to
the International Plowing
Match held near Dashwood
in 1999.
He said the event brought
an estimated $10 million in
spending in the county
during a four-year period as
the event was set up and then
from the thousands of people
who came to the area for the
match.
In Seaforth, he said the
First Presbyterian Church
was able to raise $11,000
through its participation in
the match by preparing and
offering sandwich lunches to
the hundreds of vendors and
exhibitors.
However, in response to
questions about how much
the county plowmen's
association made, Craig said
they were all volunteers and
little money actually came
back to the association.
Whether or not council
will continue to support the
association will be handled
through the budget process
with most other requests for
financial support that the
municipality receives.
This year's county match is
tentatively being hosted at a
farm about two miles north
of Blyth.
Huron East's first quarter
pleases Mayor Steffler
Mayor Lin Steffler commended the new council for a
successful first quarter for the new municipality of Huron
East.
"We've made it through the first quarter and we've
survived," she said, crediting much of the success to the staff
and administration who have been working to help combine
the five municipalities of Seaforth and Brussels, with
Tuckersmith, McKillop and Grey Township.
"The councillors around this table have worked
exceptionally well together. I'm very pleased and proud," she
said at council's April 3 meeting.
She also said she couldn't have found a better council to
work with if she had hand-picked them herself.
Stolen car recovered
A family from the Hullett
- McKillop Line had there
car returned to them on
'April 2.
On March 31st, shortly
after 1 p.m. the car, a 1990
Chev Lumina, was taken
from the farm laneway.
Police recovered the car
on Winthrop Road, no
damage was done to it.
Anyone who can help
solve this crime is asked to
contact the Huron OPP, or
call Crimestoppers.
