Elevator situation concerns council
By Shawn Loughlin
The Citizen
A situation that first reared its ugly
head in April is persisting in
Goderich according to Ashfield-
Colborne-Wawanosh Reeve Ben
Van Diepenbeek.
Van Diepenbeek first raised the
issue at a Huron County Council
meeting in April, saying that due to
ongoing dust concerns, corn was not
being accepted at the Goderich
Parrish and Heimbecker elevators,
but instead being trucked to
Hamilton.
He said that homeowners
neighbouring the elevator have been
bypassing calling the Town of
Goderich and have been calling the
Ministry of the Environment and an
order has since been made through
the ministry.
Goderich-Deputy Mayor Jim
Donnelly said that with an order
now in place, the ministry will send
employees to halt work at the mill if
a complaint is received.
Both Van Diepenbeek and
Donnelly expressed concern at the
situation, saying not only that the
elevator is both a valued business in
Goderich and employer, but it also
supports agriculture in the most
agriculturally -rich region in the
province, so it needs to be supported
locally.
Donnelly said that several
attempts to convene a meeting
between the town and the company
have been scheduled, only to be
cancelled, but work to schedule a
meeting is continuing.
He also mentioned that the
company's lease with the town is set
to expire in 2020, so that would put
Goderich in a position of leverage.
"It's a very important matter,"
Donnelly said. "Agriculture is the
backbone of this county."
Chief Administrative Officer
Brenda Orchard said that the
county's economic development
staff has also been alerted to the
situation and is attempting to help.
Van Diepenbeek first reported the
issue in April, saying that if local
farmers weren't able to bring their
corn to the Goderich elevator, the
trucking to Hamilton meant cost of
15 cents per bushel would rise to 35
cents per bushel. The order has also
compromised ships bringing loads
of other crops into the port, another
massive economic driver for
Goderich and all of Huron County.
Donnelly said that Goderich
councillors and staff would continue
to monitor the situation and hope to
facilitate a solution and report back
to council soon.

could happen while making bread
while waiting for the other group to
finish. President Grace Hallahan
opened the meeting with the 4H
pledge. She then led roll call which
was, "Name a favourite sweet bread
or bun."
Next, members took turns reading
a section of their books. Minutes
from the second and third meetings
were read. After, leader Mary Ellen
Foran announced that the club raised
$250 from the barbecue at the
Auburn Co-op on May 20. Then,
Eileen George divided the members
into groups to perform skits titled,
"Bread Making Class Activity" and
"Judging Breads and Rolls".
Afterward, the club sampled the
food made earlier in the meeting.
Members were told to bring one of
their favourite breads to the next
meeting on Friday, June 9. Grace
Hallahan closed the meeting with
the 4-H motto.
