Working together and

test of gime for Jack and
Mary (Courtney) Farrish
as they celebrated 50 years

end.
The Ashfield couple
was married on. Aug: 28,
1947 by Rev. William O.
Rhoad, at the Ashfield
Presbyterian Church
manse., They travelled in
their new 1947 jeep to'
Niagara Falls for their hon-
eymoon. • •
They spent a year, here
and then Jack worked for
an American logging com-
pany in British Columbia
for two years. They` moved
back to Ashfield for a cau-
ple of years and then it was
back west, this time to the
Calgary area, returning to
Lucknow where they built
a .home, and ,subsequently
moved to their _Ashfield.
farm in 1968. .
Jackwas a union car-
penter most of his working

ago and now enjoy spend-
ing the winters in the
son Jim in his workshop,

Florida.. keep updating famil : his -
Jack continues to "dab- . tones for . both sides of
ble in wood" working with .their own family. "'
Their family is their
pride and joy as is evi-
denced by the niamrnoth
array of photos in their
family room. But they
wouldn't have it any other
way. "I can't have them
put away," says Mary. "I
have to have them out to
see." And she doesn't com-
plain about the dusting.
Jack and Mary are par-
ents to three: Marie
(Dignan) who passed away
m in November 1995, Jim
and his wife Nancy; Wayne
and his wife Mary Jo. They
claim spoiling privileges to.
seven . grandchildren , and
two great granddaughters.
One of the biggest
changes,'' over 50 years,
that comes to Jack's mind
surrounds the style and
price of cars. Hechuckles
as he motions to their
newer van in the driveway
and thinks about .hisfirst

hazardous waste
by David Scott
It will either cost .the.
Mid -Huron Landfill
•$6,000 to. hold a house
hold hazardous waste day,
• or $35,000 to conshvcta
• permanent building to
;house hazardous waste at
the site near Halmesville°
The decision on .which.
option is more favourable
was ' not . made at
Thursday's meeting'
because there wasn't a
quorum. Reports were'.
read but no motions:' could
'be passed. •
Supervisor's Report
Landfill supervisor
,.Frank. J ostiil gave his
report for the past two
months. (There was no
July meeting of the
MHLSB).. Spots around
the pond at the site have
been filled in and seeded. -
"The grass • is corning up,"
said Postill. Catch basins,
were placed in the three
• culverts' goinginto the
pond.
The south sideof the
landfill has been graded..
"We might have it seeded '
this year," he said.
Hazardous Waste
Information from Ken
Hunter, commissioner of
works for .Goderich, was
contained in .the -monthly
report regarding holding a
"Hazardous Waste Day" at
the site. Both Bluewater
Recycling and.•Laidla.w
• Environmental were con-
tacted in regards to this, as
well as Minto Township,.
Which has a household
hazardous depot at its
landfill site which cost
$35;000 to Construct..
Francis ,Veilleux; gener-
al': manager of Bluewater
.Recycling, which services,.
Huron County, told Hunter
that Bluewater is no
longer baying household
• hazardous waste days.:
"The 'reason for, this is
that Lambton County is.
now providing • terminals
to dispose of this material
-and the Lambton County
members did not feel it,
was fair to have to fund
this 'service twice -;(-for
other counties')," states.
Hunter'smemo to the
board.
Both , Clinton and
Goderich have hosted haz-
ardous waste..days in ;the
past' with theaverage cost
being about $6,000 a day
or more.
"If you added' both of
them together in one haz-
ardous waste collection
day, say at the landfill site,
I would expect the cost
-could be closer to $10-
12,000/day," notes .Hunter.
The way the system at
Minto works is that
Laidlaw "provides them
with 45 -gallon drums with
snap type lids. The staff at
thelandfill site are trained'
on hazardous household
waste handling. They fill
these drums up :with the
waste by putting the whole
can in the drum (they ,do
not pour the liquid out of
the cans that it'comes in
but put everything inside
the drum, can and all).
Once they .have enough
drums on site Laidlaw
comes•and• hauls it away -
for about $1.00/drum:"
The item.will be on.
next month's agenda to
discuss.
