Wawanosh Council votes no to Blue Box program West Wawanosh township coun­ cil voted at its Nov. 7 meeting to accept recyclable materials from Brookside Public School for a three month probationary period. The agreement states the school will be responsible for transporting the materials and must guarantee that no contaminent material will be included. The council voted not to support the schools “Blue Box Program” which would have seen the township pay for half the cost of 20 Blue Boxes for use in class­ rooms. In other environmental business, council asked that a letter be sent to John R. Earl, Environmental Officer with the Ministry of the Environment, Owen Sound in re­ sponse to his report of his visit to the township landfill site. The council noted the trapped water situation in the trench had improv­ ed and that burned material is now shoved over the slope until it is cool. Council voted to support a resol­ ution from the city of Orillia voicing strong opposition to the province over Bill 8, the French Language Service Act. The township agreed to donate $10 to the Lung Association. The tender of Hamilton Fuels (Lucknow) Inc. to supply dyed diesel fuel at a rate of 27.30 cents per litre and clear diesel at 38.9 cents per litre was accepted. The company will also supply furnace oil at 21.1 cents per litre. Road accounts of $25,338.33 were approved for payment. Building permits of Noah D. Stutzman for a barn, Nellie Pent­ land for a house addition, Ron Pentland for a steel granary and Mel Lyons for a barn addition were approved. Approval was given to pay seven dollars per day standby pay to the snowblower owner-operator in Au­ burn to cover the cost of liability insurance should there be a com­ paratively light snowfall for the winter. General accounts totalling $20,414.30 were approved for pay­ ment.

Purchasing Manager of the Board, Rick McGee, recently visit­ ed the Bluewater Recycling Associ­ ation and reviewed their operation, background and how they might help the Board. Their advice was the STAR Program (Student Action for Recycling) which ran as a pilot effort for 16 school boards in the spring. Since that time it has evolved into a full Ministry of Environment Program. Should the board participate it Starting Monday, me. _ .Dec. 18th Extended Christmas Hours will mean a sizable commitment and funding. Bluewater Recycling Program, according to Mr. McGee expressed great interest in partici­ pating in the program and in assisting in the promotion of w-aste management for schools. To date the effort has resulted in the collection of 21 tons of paper. Since each ton represents 19 trees it is likely that a 400 tree stand of timber has been saved. On a larger scale some schools have already begun collecting glass and metal products.

Wawanosh studies hwy. plan In response to a question from Clerk-Treasurer Winona Thompson regarding the reconstruction of highway 4, East Wawanosh Coun­ cil agreed at their meeting of Nov. 7 that they would like a passing lane for north bound traffic and a decelerating lane for south bound traffic to be included in the plans. This would be for the intersections of Concession 4-5 and highway 4. Building permits were issued to Niel Edgar, Cone. 14 for an extension to a driving shed; Maur­ ice Hallahan, Con. 5 for three steel granaries; and Ontario Peninsula Farms Cone. 13 for one steel granary. It was decided that Edgar Daer would be paid seven dollars a day stand-by time for snowblowing in Auburn, from Dec. 1 to Mar. 31. A public meeting had been held earlier in the afternoon to discuss the proposed zoning amendments for the Wingham Pentecostal Church and the property owned by Carmen Denton. There were no objections but neither amendment was passed at that time as an agreement needs to be reached between the Pentecostal Church and the devleopers and a resolution had to be passed before the amendment to the Carmen Denton property could be passed.
