In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather, Rev. John Gratton Roberts, who passed away April 29, 2010. A rose once grew where all could see, sheltered beside a garden wall, And as the days passed swiftly by, it spread its branches, straight and tall. One day, a beam of light shone through, a crevice that had opened wide, The rose bent gently towards its warmth, then passed beyond to the other side. Now, you who deeply feel its loss, be comforted – the rose blooms there – its beauty even greater now, nurtured by God’s own loving care. 17-1 ARE YOU PREGNANT AND unsure about your future?

The new contract will cost an average of $83.49 per household for weekly pickup from 833 urban households and bi-weekly pickup from 452 rural households. Veilleux came to council to explain a proposal for automated collection using larger bins that would hold garbage and recycling materials in separate containers. He explained that while the Blue Box program, initially created in Kitchener-Waterloo in 1981, had done a good job of introducing the idea, recycling had outgrown the system with many more materials being recycled which meant overflowing Blue Boxes. As well, he said, the open boxes made it easy for scavengers to steal valuable materials that help pay the cost of the recycling program. Blue Boxes are also labour intensive to use, Veilleux said. It’s getting hard to find strong, healthy 25-40-year olds to do the picking up and emptying of the boxes. There are health and safety concerns with all the bending and lifting and 45 workers a year across the continent lose their lives in accidents while doing Blue Box pick-ups. The automated trucks, which pick up and empty the larger bins, can service 180 households an hour, compared to 80 households for non- automated trucks. Bluewater Recycling would provide a blue-topped recycling bin and a black-topped garbage bin for each household. Normally a 95- gallon wheelie bin would be left for a household, (holding the equivalent of six Blue Boxes) but for seniors and smaller households, a 65-gallon bin, (holding four Blue Boxes) could be used. Waste bins come in three sizes: 35 gallons, holding 1-3 bags worth of garbage; 65 gallons, holding 2-4 bags; and 95 gallons, holding 3-6 bags. The bins would eliminate the charge for tags that now must be affixed to bags in order for garbage to be picked up. Veilleux suggested council could look at a subscription service in which people with larger garbage bins would pay more on an annual basis, with the fee added to their taxes. These subscription fees would provide revenue from heavier users to help offset the cost of garbage pickup and disposal. The cost of the automated weekly pick-up in urban areas and bi- weekly in rural areas about average $96.75 per household. It would take about six months if council decided to implement the system before it could be in place, Veilleux said. Since Bluewater is providing the bins which it is amortizing over 10 years, there would need to be some charge to Morris-Turnberry if it decided to terminate the agreement before the bins are paid for. In questions, councillors raised several issues with the use of the bins in rural areas. Gowing pointed out he has a 700-foot-long laneway and it’s going to be difficult to haul the bin all the way down to the roadside. Veilleux said rural residents in other areas tend to deal with that issue in one of three ways. Some wheel the bins to the curb. Some make an attachment for an ATV or pickup truck that hooks on and tows the bin down the lane and some people leave the large bin near the road and empty a smaller container into it as needed. Councillor Neil Warwick pointed out there are areas where there isn’t enough shoulder to leave bins on. “There will be issues,” Veilleux admitted. “Every municipality and every road has unique situations. We have to find solutions.” In the long run, council decided to postpone any decision on implementing automated service and stick with regular Blue Box service for the time being. Pick-up contract renewed in M-T In an unusual move at the end of a long evening, Morris- Turnberry councillors voted to adjourn their April 19 meeting without concluding the agenda. Under the municipality’s procedural bylaw, a motion must be approved to extend a meeting beyond 10:30 p.m. After two lengthy presentations by Central Huron Recycling Centre and Bluewater Recycling Association and another discussion regarding a Wingham-area severance, councillors felt they weren’t in a position to make rational decisions going later into the night. Council did agree to complete the report from Director of Public Works Gary Pipe. That took them until after 11 p.m. The rest of the business will be concluded April 28 following a meeting previously scheduled to hear a report on the landfill site. *** Council accepted the tender for a new lawnmower so that summer students can cut the grass in cemeteries and parks instead of contracting out the work. The tender was awarded to McGavin Farm Equipment for $7,372.12 including HST. There were two lower tenders but Pipe said they were for lighter machines which wouldn’t stand up to the heavy work involved. *** McGee Motors Ltd. of Goderich was awarded the tender for a four- wheel-drive pick-up at a cost of $25,275.84 including HST. (However the municipality gets an HST refund bringing the cost down to $22,616.98.) *** Spring yard waste collection of leaves, grass clippings and yard waste will be held in urban areas of Morris-Turnberry on April 28 and May 5. Large item pickup in urban areas will be Monday, May 16. It’s recommended that people put their large items at the curbside by 9 a.m., Friday, May 13 and identify items that people are welcome to take for their own use if they like them. People will have a chance to “shop” among others’ discarded items throughout the weekend before municipal staff cart off anything that’s left on Monday.
