not have an ambulance there
throughout the entire year.
Westerhout highlighted that the
months the ambulance would be in
Bayfield are when the Blyth Festival
is on stage and the village
experiences an influx of tourists.
Westerhout said that decision could
send the message that one
community is not quite as important
as another.
Lew again referred back to
statistics, saying that Bayfield
experiences approximately 300 calls
throughout the summer months
every year, whereas Blyth may see
somewhere in the neighbourhood of
60, so it just makes sense. Members
of the North Huron Fire Department
in the Blyth Fire Hall are also
trained in first response.
Reeve Jim Ginn also reminded
Westerhout that council might be
getting ahead of itself, complaining
about losing something throughout
the summer months that Blyth
currently doesn’t even have.
No decision was made as a result
of Lew’s presentation, which was
requested by council for information
purposes only.

Lynn Russwurm was one of the musicians who took centre stage during the Barn Dance
Historical Society’s Barn Dance on May 28 at the Blyth Community Centre, part of the 14th
Annual Campout/Jamboree. Emceed by Jim Swan, the evening featured the multi-Grammy
award winning Polka King Walter Ostanek as well as Jimmy Phair, Dianne Ditner, Betty Beer,
Bob Tremblay, Dorothy Stonehouse, Tom and Rose Merrigan and Travis Whiteman. (Denny Scott

Landfill to expandMorris-Turnberry will wait until
2012 to open a new section of the
Morris landfill and close the portion
now being used.
“We can stay where we are for
another year,” said Gary Pipe,
director of public works when
asked, at the May 17 meeting,
for his advice on when to
make the move. He said he’d like to
tender for the work in early
January before other
municipalities are tendering because
sometimes you can get a good price
by offering work that companies can
begin early in the season.
Part of the reason to hold off is
that the old site has to be tapered to
a four-to-one slope before it is
closed and the garbage taken in the
rest of this year can help build that
mound, Pipe said.
While the actual work will not
start until 2012, the engineering will
be carried out this year, making use
of funding already allocated in the
budget.
Total cost of closing the old
portion of the site and opening the
new section is estimated at
$222,000 with Huron East sharing
some of the costs.
Councillors reviewed the
recommendations included in the
annual operations and monitoring
report for the landfill.
One of the recommendations was
for a move to the new area of the
site, along with continued
sampling of ground water and
surface water monitoring twice a
year.
Staff was also warned to measure
the landfill gas concentrations in the
office trailer at the landfill beforethey enter and while in the trailerand keep written recordings everyday. The airspace below the trailer
must be kept clear to allow
ventilation and all ignition sources
should be removed from the
vicinity of the trailer and the landfill
area.
Council also approved revised
tipping fees. The charge for weighed
waste will increase to $85 a tonne
from $75 with the charge of
disposing brick and concrete at the
same rate, up from $10 per tonne
previously.
There’s also an increase in the
charge for opening the landfill on an
off-day from $40 to $100 per
opening.
