The world renowned Frasers is the band to which world champion bass drummer Craig Colquhoun of Kincardine belongs. Other members of the bas 'section are rhythm tenor drummers Reagan Jones, Kincardine; Yvan Gagne, Waterloo; and flourishing tenor drummer, Tyler Fry, Kincardine. Bruce MacLean of Bruce Township is a piper in the band. Since its inception, in 1981, the Frasers have endeavored to develop and promote a Canadian style of Scottish music. It has played a major role in changing the percep- tion of what artistically can and can't be done in pipe bands. Today, the piping world looks to the Frasers for fresh and innovative ideas. Tickets are available at Stedman's or Shelly's Bistro, both on Queen St. in Kincardine, or from' any Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band member. The cost is $18 in advance or $20 at the door. Lottery The Huron -Perth Catholic Separate School Board expects to raise between $150,0.00 and $200,000 from the ,Fantasy. '97 lottery. The money will go to improve technolo- ,gy in the schools. "We already took money out of the bud- get in that area. We should put it back," said Clinton area Trustee Louise Martin. • Seaforth and area Trustee Gerry Ryan wondered • if the province would expect the board to continue fundraising and reduce its grams to the local separate board. "Boards won't be penalized for raising money," said Superintendent Gates 'Blanchette. , Did you know that:.. Physical activity is accompanied by reduced anxiety and stress?..

(Livingston photo) Municipalities should control their own fate •from page 1 municipalities should control their own fate and more importantly their own garbage. The county wants to`optimize' and close existing landfill sites in several municipalities and develop landfill sites near Exeter and in Morris Twp. to create two waste management zones (north and south).for the future. Then, as each of land- fill sites was closed, the municipalities that used those sites would have their waste directed to one of the newly devel- oped and expanded sites. But Carnochan thinks the municipalities should be able to work out their own arrangements with- out, the help of the coun- ty He said if one munici- pality fills its landfill site and needs to use another landfill, they should have the right to go wherever they want and the receiv- ing municipality should be able to set a fee to cover the costs dealing with the extra waste. "Municipalities should control their own fate," he said.."Why should 1 contribute to something' 30 years down the road (the'Exeter and Morris landfill sites) when 1 don't know even if I'm going 10 need it." With alternative waste technologies continually extending the life of landfill sites, the opinion of several councillors was that the county should get out of waste management all together,. Coun. Allan Gibson from Ashfield Twp. said he has concerns about giv- ingmoney to developing landfill sites Ashfield Twp. residents may never have to use; "l_think we (Huron County) should get out ot the landfill site business and let the municipaliti' s handle it themselves." said Gibson. Too many questions In the light of restruc- turing by the province. Coun. Mason Bailey of Blyth said there are sim- ply too many question regarding the future ot waste management to be putting any ,money toward any site at this time. Bailey recommended the county impose a three to five year moratorium on any spending for waste management -- "Until we know who we are and wherewe are going." Davidson said a mora- torium on waste manage- ment spending might seem like a good idea but it would only work if the people of the county agreed to place a morato- rium on producing garbage. He said some of the land- fill sites being used by municipalities in the county will reach their capacity within a .five. year period and those municipalities will need to redirect their garbage to another site. Before that time, Davidson said money will have to be spent preparing the sites to be waste outlets. "Work has to be done to get these sites ready to receive," said Davidson. Davidson said his department is looking 30 to 40 yearsinto;- the future, not just at the life span of individual munic- ipal sites. He said they realize some municipalities have a greater capacity in their landfill sites than others and some may not need the use of a zone dump for decades. "What the county is doing is helping all municipalities deal with their waste," he said. The Waste Manage- ment Master Plan will also include continued emphasis on promoting recycling efforts and monitoring opportunities for export and incinera- tion. • What most concerned the councillors, however, was what the master plan would have to say about compensation payments to Morris and Exeter for the work done to develop their sites. Coun. Elliot of Morris Twp. said he needs that compensation money to improve his dump before the garbage from•the rest of the county starts. to arrive. He said there is no way he is going hack to his taxpayers and ask them to' foot the bill for the county's garbage. He presented it as a now or later proposition: He -said he needs a grant or a loan from the county to pay for the expansion of his site. And if the money comes in the form of a loan, he said the municipalities can expect to pay higher user fees. "As long as I'm the Reeve of Morris Twp., I'm not going to wait for garbage. There must be .money -up -front to get ready," said Elliot.
