MVCA explains dumping rules
A number of Grey Township
landownerstook advantage of a
day-long Open House at the
township office near Ethel last
Wednesday, tolearn of restrictions
soon to be implemented governing
the dumping of landfill of private
property. The sessions were spon
sored by the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority (MVCA)
in conjunction with the township
council.
MCVA staff members Phil
Beard and Eric Taylor were on
hand throughout the day to review
Women welcomed
on fair board
Finding itself short two directors
after the annual meeting last
Wednesday night, the Brussels
Agricultural Society is willing and
ready to break with its long-stand
ing tradition, and elect women to
the Board of Directors - if only they
will come forward.
“We’d like a director from
Morris and one from Brussels (to
replace resigning directors Bob
Higgins and Wayne Lowe) if we
can get them, but we’d be really
glad to have volunteers from
anywhere,” secretary Rose Marie
Bishop told The Citizen.
“And there is no reason why
womencan’tbeonthe Board, as
well as men. It’s just tradition that

of just the opposite problem down
in the States that they’re worrying
about with the Superbowl coming
up. It’s called the Superbowl Flush
and the problem is that at half-time
of the football game all those
millions of people rush to the
bathroom and flush the toilet and
overload the sewers.
“Aha,” says Tim, “There’s the
answer to our problem. You know
how many millions of people go
from up here and in the northern
states to the south every winter.
What we do is get each one, before
he steps on the plane, to drink three
glasses of water. By the time it
works through the system he
should be in Florida and can flush
down there. The Great Lakes
should drop in no time.”
WEDNESDAY: Mabel announced

Cardiff of RR 1, Ethel, was
re-elected as president, while Joan
Bernard of Brussels has moved
into the first vice-president’s chair
from her former position as second
vice. Edith Pipe, also of Brussels,
remains as secretary-treasurer;
while the position of second vice
president in the division remains
open.
Anyone interested in filling
these positions is asked to contact
Mrs. Bishop at 887-6186 for more
information.
The elections were held follow
ing the annual awards banquet and
meeting of the Society in Brussels
last Wednesday.
Following the banquet, the
annual awards for the top 4-H
exhibitors at the 1986 Brussels Fall
Fair were presented, in a ceremony
MC’d by fair board director John
Boneschansker of RR 1, Ethel. As
well, a Special Service Award was
presented by outgoing president
Keith Williamson to Harvey Craig
of Walton, inrecognition of Mr.
Craig’s half century of service to
the Brussels Agricultural Society,
as both a director and an associate
director.
Guest speaker for the evening
was Ross Procter of RR 5, Brussels,
well -known pork producer and
areas where dumping will be
regulated, and to discuss the
policies governing the placement
of fill in these areas with concerned
landowners. As well, Reeve Leona
Armstrong and several township
councillors were present at various
times to explain the township’s
involvement in the plan.
Mr. Beard explained that al
though these policies are not yet in
place, the MCVA has been working
with municipalities which have a
land use plan to identify restricted
dumpingzones. He said that once a
it has always been men before,”
she said.
Except for Mrs. Bishop’s posi
tion as secretary, men have always
served as officers and directors on
the Fair Board, while women have
traditionally governed the section
of the 125-year-old fair known as
the Ladies’ Division; that is, the
section which handles the hun
dreds of entries in the cooking,
baking, needlework, handicrafts
and children’s classes in the
annual event.
The date for the 126th Brussels
Fall Fair has been set for Septem

she was observing Weedless Wed
nesday in The Grill this morning.
That means, she said, that any
body who didn’t butt out could get
their butt out.
It was quite a shock to the
customers because half the time in
Mabel’s you can hardly see the
menu on the wall through the
smog. Mabel said later though
she ’ s thinking of keeping the policy
because the sales of food went way
up for the day.
‘ ‘That’s what happens when you
quit smoking,’’ said Julia Flint.
“You start eating instead.”
“No,” Mabel says, “what really
happened is that for the first time
people could smell the food I was
cooking in the kitchen instead of
the smoke and they ended up
ordering food as well as their
normal coffee.”
cattleman, who not only serves as
president of the Huron County
Pork Producers and past president
of the Huron Cattlemen’s Associa
tion, but is also vice president of
the World Shorthorn Council, an
international organization devoted
to the promotion of the breed.
Mr. Procter showed slides and
spoke of his experiences during a
recent trip to Peru, Brazil and
Argentina, including a visit to the
fabulous Inca ruin, Pichu Manchu,
and to the famous Palermo live
stockshowin Buonos Aires, Brazil.
The latter were of particular
interest to members of the Agricul
tural Society, as were Mr. Proc
ter’s comments on the relative
merits of the livestock, in compari
son with Huron stock.
Following a short speech of
Linda Ten Pas, Leona Armstrong,
reeve Grey Twp. and former
county warden, brought greetings
from the township, and in the
absence of Warden Brian McBur-
ney, greetings from the county.
Reeve Marie Hicknell brought
greetings from McKillop Twp.,
and Councillor Clem McLellan
brought greetings from Morris
Twp. on behalf of Reeve Doug
Fraser. Brussels Reeve Hank Ten
Pas spoke on behalf of the village.
municipality has given approval in
principle to the Authority’s fill line
mapping and regulations, the
proposal is presented to the public
for discussion and clarification.
Although the Open House in
Grey is the first one held in 1987,
others are planned for later in the
year in East and West Wawanosh,
and for Ashfield, while the MCVA
has scheduled the revision of fill
and flood line mapping with Blyth,
Wingham, and Hullett Township
councils for this year. Open Houses
were held in Howick and Colborne
in 1986.
When approved, fill regulations
will be applied to all lands in the
Maitland River watershed. Gener
ally, the types of land affected are
flood plains, wetlands, stream
banks and steep valley slopes.
The purpose of the regulations is
to control dumping in areas where
it may cause flooding, erosion, or
water pollution, and to protect the
rights of upstream and down
stream landowners who could be
affected.
Mr. Beard stressed that the
regulations are not intended to
prohibit all dumping, but rather to
control it for the commmon good.
He said that in some cases, the
dumping of fill may have to be
accompanied by appropriate ero
sion control measures.
Further information may be
obtained by contacting the MCVA
office in Wroxeter, or by calling
335-3557 during business hours.
