PEOPLE AROUND
BELGRAVE
Bill and Muriel Coultes spent a
couple of days last week with Rev.
Peter and Nancy Tucker of Elliot
Lake. Peter and Nancy have not had
a good winter and they were glad to
see former friends from Belgrave.
They wish to pass on their greetings
to all their friends in the Belgrave
area.
Brian and Alison Wightman had a
lot of downed trees, damage to crops
and garden by the storm which also
struck the Dungannon area early
Wednesday morning. Several family
members arrived to help clean up,
but there is still major work to be
done.
Jeremy Robinson and his friend
Vanessa, spent most of last week
with his parents Steve and Joanne
Robinson and family. The Robinson
and Coultes family celebrated his
visit with a get-together dinner at
their home on Thursday. They were
home from Fort McMurray where
Jeremy has worked for the last few
years.
Timber!
Autumn, Sydney and Olivia Wightman sit on the remains of half of a massive maple tree that
was destroyed during inclement weather last week. The Wightmans’ farm had several trees
destroyed, one of which threatened to damage their home. Trees were felled or damaged and
crops were wrecked across northern Huron County. (Denny Scott photo)
Morris-Turnberry reviews landfill site feesMorris-Turnberry council will askGary Pipe, its director of publicworks to prepare a report onoperations of its landfill site, after
complaints by residents about a $5
fee to drop of garbage at the site.
At the July 6 meeting, Diane Jerva
had expressed her dissatisfaction
about what she felt was the
unfairness of the fee. At the July 20meeting, councillors themselvesdivided on the fairness of the fee.Councillor Lynn Hoy said he’dhad complaints from people whowere going to visit the landfillanyway to drop off things such asbale wrap and wondered
why they should have to pay $5 to
drop off their garbage at the same
time.
Councillor edna McLellan said
she’d been approached by people in
rural areas upset they have to storedirty diapers in the hot weather forup to two weeks between garbagepick-ups, yet would be charged totake them to the dump.Council agreed to ask Pipe toprepare a report and to write to Jerva in the meantime saying
it was getting additional
information.

M-T borrows
from reserve to
pay 2009 costs
Morris-Turnberry drew from
reserves to cover its expenditures in
2009, according to the financial
report delivered at the July 20
meeting of council.
Bill Vodden, of Vodden, Seebach
and Bender Accountants, the
municipal auditor, led council
through the complicated report
prepared under the new accounting
standards for municipalities.
Under Morris-Turnberry’s bylaws,
any surplus in the year’s operating
budget goes directly to the reserves,
while any shortage is drawn from
reserves.
Additional expenses of $53,121
were drawn from road reserves for
the year.
There was $346,069 taken from
general reserves. Of this, $111,557
had been a planned withdrawal as
part of the budget. The majority of
the remainder came because of two
items.
The municipality spent $155,062
in legal, planning and market
research costs for the successful
defence of its highway commercial
zoning of property just outside of
Wingham.
The municipality also saw its
landfill revenue drop by about
$90,000 when some material
normally received was diverted to
other sites.
