Creative crew holds last meeting
By Reba Jefferson
Meeting six of the Wawanosh 4-H
Creative Crew was held on Oct. 16 at
Eileen George’s home at 7 p.m.
President, Reba Jefferson, began the
meeting with the pledge, then led roll
call, which asked members what was
the most important thing they had
learned about scrapbooking.
Members replied with cropping,
layouts, scrapbooking on a budget and
more. Eileen then talked about the
history of scrapbooking, which
started in 1598 where the upper class
would paste poems, quotes,
newspaper clippings or product labels
into plain paper books.
Next Cathy Drennan talked about
the importance of judging, which
improves confidence and helps with
decision making. The club went over
the do’s and don’ts of judging. Marita
Oudshoorn explained that the
members would be judging scrapbook
pages and the criteria for a good
scrapbook page. The members then
made their decisions about the
scrapbook page. Four members,
Melissa Higgins, Laura Nauwelaerts,
Jolanda Oudshoorn and Reba read
their opinions aloud. The club had
similar opinions on the page. Marita
then shared the correct results, like a
judging competition. Members then
read about photo and scrapbook
storage.

ACW citizens to host landfill information meeting
Shortly after councillors from
Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh
Township Council approved an
application for a Certificate of
Approval including an expanded
waste footprint, residents near the
Ashfield landfill site are hosting an
information meeting regarding the
decision.
On Nov. 24 in Dungannon,
citizens who live near the landfill
site will be inviting representatives
from Simcoe County who recently
were able to prevent North Simcoe
from using Site 41 as a new landfill
site.
Jack Culbert, one of the citizens in
the group, hopes that the information
meeting will help council change
their mind.
“We have to put our money
towards reducing garbage,
not preparing to house more,” he
said.
Culbert has attended previous
meetings where council has run the
proceedings and feels that the
concerns of the citizens weren’t
addressed.
“This will not be a public meeting
of council, it will be run by the
people to present our concerns and
ideas,” he said. “We will be
inviting all councillors personally
though.”
The meeting will be held at the
Dungannon Hall at 7 p.m.
A great start
The Auburn Lions held a breakfast on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. to help raise money for
the Huron County Christmas Bureau. Dishing out the goods were Kim Teed and Tony Martens.
