Landfill fee set for W. Wawanosh
By Jason and Ashley Gropp
The Blyth Young Company
wrapped up another season with-
Look Away— the Dragon is Dying
on the Ground performed several
times this past week at The Arch.
While contemplating possible
approaches to a review we encoun-
tered mixed feelings. While on the
one hand we could appreciate the
work and creativity of the show and
its young performers, we felt the
show was confusing to its audience.
There were some very notable
factors which created a positive
image to the play, the strong acting
being one. With the play moving
constantly from one site to another
the actors were challenged. They
concentrated very heavily on the
roles, which was very noticeable
because of their close proximity to
the audience. Characters were often
frequently seen running right
through the crowd. The time of
each segment was precise and the
flow consistent.
The natural setting was used
effectively as well. Within a small
space, grasslands, rivers, forests
and deserts were created with little
test to the imagination.
Due to the abstract nature of the
play, however, it was frequently
chaotic and at times even unpleas-
ant. On more than one occasion,
numerous voices were speaking at
very close range making it difficult
for the audience to concentrate on
or discover what the real meaning
of the play was.
We felt that the attempts to send
a meaningful message about world
destruction were lost by someone's
desire to create something unique.
After all, there are many good
plays, which convey strong mes-
sages through simple ways.
This Young Company had within
it some very talented young actors.
In Look Away their abilities were
tested. Unfortunately that excel-
lence may have been lost in what
most would observe as confusion.

The residents of West Wawanosh
landfill will be subject to a "user
fee" beginning Oct. 1.
Council approved the charges at
the Aug. 3 meeting. Tags which
indicate the fees are paid, may be
purchased from at the township
office. Rates will be $1 per bag and
$5 per pick-up truck for refuse put
in the burying trench.
It was also agreed by council that
only owners of land in West
Wawanosh Twp. would be allowed
to use the landfill site.
The tender presented by Lavis
Contracting Co. Limited, for the
supplying and placing of asphalt on
Auburn streets in West Wawanosh
was accepted by council.
The cost of the asphalt will be
$41.45 per ton plus they will build
approximately 270 linear meters of
asphalt gutters.
A severance application was
approved by council for Lot 14,
Conc. 8. The landowners, John and
Catherine Stevens, intend to sever
100 acres from the existing 166
acre lot. They must meet the provi-
sions of the secondary plan for
West Wawanosh which entails
establishing a line between the sev-
ered and the retained portion.
is to foster and promote the abilities
of the actors. It is unfortunate
therefore that their abilities were
overwhelmed by a creative need to
promote the individuality of the
play itself.
Because of the production's good
aspects the audience should have
left knowing that something posi-
tive had been achieved. It's just too
bad that they may not be sure what.
