Councillors were presented with information that showed the municipality had the lowest bag tag around. Council also agreed to a minimum $5 charge for anyone using the landfill site. “A lot of people don’t realizehow much it costs to comply withMinistry of Environmentregulations,” said Councillor PaulGowing, pointing out that at nearlya third of a million dollars, waste management is one of the biggest items in the municipality’s budget. *** Morris-Turnberry has received its share of the assets of the old Blyth District Fire Area Board.

By Keith RoulstonThe Citizen Chamney Auto Repair celebrates grand opening Eldon and Elaine Chamney held the grand opening of their new business venture Chamney Auto Repair on the weekend, but the name is a bit of a misnomer. “I’ll work on pretty much anything,” Chamney said as he extricated himself from underneath a cube van in his shop. Chamney emphasized the point by motioning towards the tools and the lifts around his shop that would let him work on things as small as lawnmowers and motorcycles or as large as transport trucks. Located between Auburn and Blyth at 38897 Blyth Road, Chamney plans to provide general garage services to his customers, including brake,s exhaust, tires, oil changes and safety checks. Chamney said he will sell mostly late-model vehicles, pointing to a newer SUV and sports car currently sitting outside his shop. Originally opened in January, Chamney said he wasn’t quite ready to go completely public, but is now ready to take on work Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Chamney has been a licensed mechanic since 1988, and worked on all the vehicles for the company he owned - Chamney Sanitation, which was sold to The Waste Management company (WM). Chamney plowed snow in the winter, but couldn’t just sit around, saying that he wanted to keep himself busy, and decided to take his mechanic job full-time. By Denny Scott The Citizen Chamney Auto Eldon and Elaine Chamney pose during the grand opening of Chamney Auto Repair on Blyth Road. The garage will service everything from lawnmowers to transport trucks. (Denny Scott photo) Seatbelt campaign starts In the first two days of the spring seatbelt campaign, Huron OPP officers were getting the word out loud and clear that occupants of a vehicle need to be belted in. In that short timeframe, more than 2,200 vehicles were checked for seatbelts, whether for the driver, the passengers or any children requiring child restraints. With the significant increase in the fines, the messages have been hard hitting for some. In two days, Huron officers laid 23 charges against drivers who failed to buckle up, one charge against a passenger who chose not to wear a seatbelt and two more fines for drivers who had not ensured that their children were restrained properly. Statistics continually confirm that your chances of surviving a collision, even a relatively minor one, are reduced significantly if you fail to buckle yourself in.
