to get a perfect lawn without bagging.

you get more torque to mulch thick,
heavy ass.
What's more, you can easily convert
the POWER MULCH" mower to bag grass
or shred leaves. No tools needed.
So stop in soon. And get a lot more

What to
know
about fill
regulation
Landowners planning to place fill
should be aware that a regulation
controlling the dumping of fill is in
effect for the Town of Listowel, the
Village of Lucknow, and the Town-
ships of East and West Wawanosh,
Ashfield, Colborne, Howick and
Grey. This regulation applies to
river valleys, flood plains,
watercourses, wetlands, lakeshore
gullies, and inland lakes. Before
any kind of filling is begun in such
an area, a permit must be obtained
from the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority (MVCA).
"No one deliberately plans to
damage the environment," noted
Rick Steele, MVCA Resource
Planner. "But people have
unwittingly placed fill where it
damaged the vegetation in a
wetland or where it increased
flooding on neighbouring proper-
ties. Fill regulations help to prevent
such occurrences."
Filling includes the placing or
dumping of any material that
changes the contours of the ground,
including earth, sand, gravel,
rubble, and garbage. To learn if a
property is subject to fill regulation,
contact the MVCA at (519) 335-
3557. Those planning to purchase a
property should contact the MVCA
first to see if the land is subject to
regulation.

Stephen Township Reeve Tom
Tomes announced June 4 that a tri-
municipal committee of Stephen
Township, Bosanquet Township
and the Village of Grand Bend will
be working together to involve
other area municipalities in keeping
Centralia College open.
Reeve Tomes, who is also
Warden of Huron County, is asking
the Ministry of Agriculture and
Food for a six month freeze on the
move towards closing Centralia
College and Vet Lab Services. "We
want them to put a temporary halt
on the break-up," he said.
The Tri-Municipal group is
seeking a grant from the Ministry
of Economic Development to do a
feasibility study on the future of the
college. John Russell, deputy
mayor of Bosanquet Township,
said that the Tri-Municipal group is
seeking private partnerships to keep
the college open. "The local
government is showing leadership
and we're asking for expertise from
industry and business to keep the
college open," Mr. Russell said.
Mayor Tom Lawson said that one
possibility for the college would be
the operation of an aviation school,
using the residence and class room
facilities at the college along with
the air strip in the Huron Industrial
Park. John Russell added that many
other options for programs offered
at the college could be considered
in the feasibility study.
Mr. Russell stressed that for the
