me SSP Raa -- Tm RTE EER Twp. brass sworn before 50 ratepayers by Carol Dimock The Inaugural meeting of the Township of Tiny Council on Monday afternoon was well attended. About fifty relatives, friends and well-wishers joined council and township staff at the Municipal office for the ceremony. Clerk-Administrator Guy Maurice performed the swearing-in ceremony, which was followed by a devotional service given by Father Laurin of Perkinsfield and Rev. Locke of Wyevale and Waverley United Churches. Councillor Ralph Mertz thanked the council for appointing him last term and the electors for their sup- port in the November election. He promised to do his best to serve the Township in the next three years. Councillor Gabe Brunelle introduced his wife and parents, who were in the audience, and spoke of the im- portance of family. He said that the council of Tiny operates as a family, which is_ the secret of its success. Councillor Ron Hamelin thanked the voters for their con- fidence, observing that the numbers of votes grow every year. "Such a reward is not taken lightly," he said. "I am confident that I can handle the affairs of the township in a just and honest way." Councillor Hamelin spoke of the united, co- operative approach of the council. He said such teamwork is hard to find in elected bodies. He mentioned his "sincere appreciation for Council's un- derstanding during the unpleasant incident in the last few weeks" referring to the charge of alleged conflict of interest brought for- ward at the last Council meeting, and _ also thanked the township staff for their "'unfailing courtesy and co- operation."' Deputy-reeve John Lackie spoke of the challenge of solving the problems of the Township. He said he is committed to resolving the difficulties with the town of Midland over their annexation bid. He is eager to solve the landfill problem, dealing with the existing problem at the Pauze site in Perkinsfield and the long-term requirements for a landfill site for the Township. Deputy-reeve Lackie is looking forward with excitement to the recreation master plan and plans for senior citizen housing. He called the council "a great bunch of guys to work with--we have a great staff- it's a great team to be on." Reeve Morris Darby spoke of his pride in this municipality. 'It's my 15 year as a member of this council. This municipality has been kind to me, awarding me three ac- clamations." "Only a dedicated group can propose to accomplish the work ahead," said Reeve Darby. The Reeve called for a minute of silence in honour of those who have served the township in past years and are now deceased. Reeve Darby went on to speak of the lack of respect in today's society for our superiors. "We need respect in dealing with our neighbours and all levels of government," he said. He spoke of the very strained relations between the township and the town of Midland over the annexation issue, and between the township and_ the provincial government over the landfill problem. "We must' work together for the welfare of all," said Reeve Darby. The Reeve went on to discuss the challenges facing the township in this unfavorable @UAAO YOUR cu) WEALTH AND su? | & economic climate. With reductions in grants coming from the Provincial government, the council will have to "sharpen their pencils" if it is to continue to provide a high standard of service for the ratepayers.
