W. Wawanosh looks at paving Colbome boundary
Huron County engineer Dennis
Merrall attended the April 3 meet
ing of West Wawanosh Council to
discuss the proposed site for the
installation of a 36 inch culvert
under County Road 1 in Dungann
on, prior to paving the road this
summer.
The site must conform to engi
neering plans for future drainage in
the township's side of Dungannon,
which is the east side. This will
outlet into Ashfield Township and
the plan is to keep the drainage tile
and/or pipe on road property and
not cross private property.
Council will notify Colborne
Township in writing stating that
they are in agreement with the
proposal to pave 7.5 kilometres of
the boundary road in 1991 provided
the Ministry of Transportation
approves supplementary funding to
both municipalities to offset at least
75 per cent of the cost.
The report of A. W. Clark of
Maitland Engineering Services in
Wingham, regarding the energy
efficiency audit on the Works
Garage was accepted.
Clerk-Treasurer Joan Armstrong
was authorized by Council to
submit the report along with the
grant application to the Ministry of
Energy.
The tender of Bannerman Con
tracting Ltd., Kincardine was ac
cepted to crush and haul mainten
ance gravel in 1990 at the contract-
*- ed price of $2.45 per cubic yard.
Council accepted the quotation of
Pollard Highway Products to sup
ply liquid calcium chloride for dust
layer in 1990 at $226.96 per flake
ton equivalent.
Building permits were issued to
Menno Miller to move a worshop to
Lucknow Christian School to con
struct an addition.
Council voted unanimously to
increase the charge of building
permits to $30 for the first $5,000 of
estimated cost plus $3 per $1,000
thereafter.

Local municipalities upset with Bradley’s move
Continued from page 1
cent,” says Mr. Hanly.
Mr. Bradley has been accused by
NDP Ruth Grier of “caving in to
the soft drink industry’*. She said
that the move puts the responsibil
ity on the consumer and not on the
producers of the waste.
Earlier this month three major
soft drink bottlers were fined a total
of $62,775 for not using enough
refillable bottles, but Mr. Knight
feels these fines are relatively
insignificant in comparison to pro
fit.
Murray Gaunt, who was Envir
onment Critic for the Liberals
during the mid-70’s says that this is
a battle that was fought over a
period of many years and he
thought that ground had been
made. “This is the entirely wrong
direction to take now,” Mr. Gaunt
stated. “It’s disappointing. I was
involved with the negotiations with
bottlers in ’75, ’76 to stop using
cans and use more refillable bottles
and I thought it was working. This
is like taking one step forward and
two back.”
serve as the township representa
tive on the Wingham Hospital
Board.
It was decided to have the
municipal telephone number listed
in the white pages as well as the
blue pages of the Owen Sound
directory, provided there is a
one-time charge of $20 or less for
the insertion and/or change.
“1 think Mr. Bradley has made a
faux pas,” said Mr. Hanly. “He’s
just creating more garbage. Not
everyone recycles, but everyone
will take their bottles back for a
deposit. Look at beer bottles; there
are never too many of them thrown
away unless they’re broken.”
Deputy-Clerk Treasurer of Brus
sels Donna White said that they
had written to the Ministry to tell
them about recycling efforts in the
village and offer incite into ways
the system could improve. They
never received a reply.
“We wrote them saying that we
felt it might be wise to suggest
incentives to companies to get
them to reduce excessive packag
ing. Right from the beginning, they
should have switched the manufac
turers on to change.”
“I really don’t think the ministry
thought things through com
pletely,” said Mr. Hanly. “The
first steps they should have taken,
should have been to get the plants
to use recycling materials and
make sure there was a market.
They need demand, not supply.”
Council voted in favour of co-op
erating with the trustees of Auburn
to engage a dog control officer with
Hullett and East Wawanosh Town
ships for a six-month trial period,
with costs to be shared equally by
the three municipalities.
Darlene McClinchey will be con
tacted to determine the costs for
the township to engage her as dog
control officer for Dungannon.
Mrs. White noted that perhaps
the government had never antici
pated the success the recycling
programs have had, but adding to
the amount is not the right move.
McKillop Reeve Marie Hicknell
says that the small municipalities
are doing all they can to keep up,
but unless the “big guy at the top
is made to do his part, we can’t do
anymore. In a way they have
caused the problem, so shouldn’t
they find the solution?” she quer
ied.
Mr. Knight agrees, “It is impor
tant that the manufacturers realize
they are responsible for the end
product,” he said. He also asks
that concerned individuals, insti
tutes, and environmentalist groups
get behind them and pressure
government to take the right steps.
“Maybe if they get enough com
plaints, they’ll realize it’s not just
these small municipalities com
plaining,” he stated.
“The manufacturers aren’t go
ing to do anything unless govern
ment insists,” said Mrs. Hicknell.
“We’ve got to work together on

Board was accepted and Council
approved the purchase of 20 bunk
er suits at a cost of $3,000 per
municipality with the balance to
come out of the normal budget.
making it happen or it’s going to
cost everyone in the end.”
“I had thought that Mr. Bradley
had a firm commitment to the
environment in the concerns of
waste management,” said Mr.
Gaunt. “But, I can see now I’m
going to have to re-assess that.
This is not a victory for the
environment, that’s for sure.”
