Hensall council was the presentation of a pair of bookends with the village crest to Reverend Stan McDonald in recognition of his service to the village while United Church minister. McDonald said leaving "the pret- tiest village in Canada" would be painful, arhe considered the whole community his family. Reeve Jim Robinson expressed jocular regret that Hensall would now have one less beard. Inge Mowat, Hensall's economic development officer, attended the ses- sion to answer any questions arising from her previously submitted report on recent activities. Various com- panies and individuals who might be interested in occupying vacant retail space have been contacted. Both Pro and Home hardware companies and the Hensall Co-op were approached, and Dr. Charles Wallace was asked to consider expanding his dispensing operation into a full scale phar- macy.Relocation of the Pineridge Barbecue Company was discussed with Julian Bayley. • Mrs. Sharon Hoffman and Harold Knight have joined the Economic Development Committee, and Harry Klungel has been appointed chairman. The Hensall Kinsmen Club notified council of their decision to discontinue sponsorship of the Fiddlers' Contest, but are prepared to assist any other organization wishing to carry on. A brief from Hensall Nursery School prepared by Cass Bayley and Sharon Miller proposing a day care centre was discussed. Plans call for 3,200 to 3,600 square feet of space, a supervisor, three full-time early childhood education graduates, four part-time assistants and a cook, all hired locally. An annual budget of 6225,000 would include the costs of borrowing to buy a 665,000 house, renovations of $35,000, salaries and other expenses. The deficit was calculated at $25,000 to $65,000. - Councillor Irene Davis expressed concern that too few children could turn such a centre into "an awful liability", noting that a similar opera- tion in Stratford had closed for that reason. Decision .was deferred until a spokesman for dr proposal can be FOAM. Approval was given to a request from Bradley C. Oke Developments Inc., acting for the South' Huron Association for the Mentally Han- dicapped, to allow group home use in a lower level apartment at 122 King Street at a special council meeting on August 22. Schedules were arranged for coun- cillors' attendance with Huron Coun- ty planner Patty Munkittrick at open house on September 22 and 24 when the public is invited to drop in to the Hensall library to discuss any part of the proposed zoning bylaw. Plans for suggested renovations to the town hall are still being review- ed. Don Oke was asked tq prepare specifications. An expenditure not to exceed 6200 was authorized to pur- chase two additional tapes for the musical clock. Council hopes that organizations or service clubs will consider adding to the tape collection in future. Assistant clerk hired Ottawa does not have a monopoly on smiling Irish eyes. Hensall now has a pair too, in the person of Ansberth Wilbert, hired recently to replace assistant clerk Kim .Marsden. Ansberth emigrated from Lon- donderry with her parents and eight brothers and sisters in 1972. She recalls arriving in Clinton on Christmas eve, prepared to forego Christmas that year after her mother's explanation that Santa would not find out the Bradley's new address in time.The family stepped into their Canadian home to be greeted by a Christmas tree and suitable gifts for each person. The surprise had been prepared by thoughtful neighbors. At age 10, Ansberth found adjust- ment to a new country earlier than it was for her older siblings. She laughingly revealed that the fad at the time for long hair on boys and short hair for girls resulted in both sexes being directed to the wrong school washrooms. She has also deliberate- ly subdued her Irish accent "except when I get mad.". Ansberth previously worked at Westlake Insurance in Zurich after takin:. a com ' ter programming course at Fanshawe. She describe herself as a person who "always like something new to learn to do," ane anticipates taking courses it municipal management. Clerk Betty Oke said she receives 60 applications for the assistant deli( vacancy, and one of her criteria it making the difficult choice wa: evidence of people still intent on bet tering themselves by acquiring new skills after leaving school. Although Ansberth did not begir her job until September 2, she accom. panied Oke to a shower for her predecessor, where she met the members of council and other municipal employees. She noted the good rapport among the people whc work for the village, and appreciated the councillor's friendly attitude, which quelled her nervousness. "They gave me 'fool's pardon': they put me at ease", she said with Irish charm. Ansberth and husband Ervine will soon be moving into a house they have bought in Hensall. The Power Pack Give Roundup that extra boost with Frigate®. By helping it penetrate the leaf's waxy surfaces more easily, FRIGATE surfactant gives ROUNDUP added power when it comes to zapping quackgrass; more ROUNDUP gets into the weed so control is enhanced.
