Julie McNichol will soon be see-
ing her work appear on municipal
trucks. business cards and hats and
shirts for the Municipality of Central
Huron.
McNichol, a recent graduate of the
graphic design program at Windsor's
St. Clair College, had her design for
the new municipal logo chosen in a
contest hosted by the municipality,
along with M.P. Russo and
Associates Inc.
As the winner of the contest,
McNichol was presented last Friday
with a watch from M.P. Russo and
Associates sales representative Ron
Plasschaert. Central Huron Reeve

The Blyth Festival is gearing up
for the return of the popular 3x3 Art
Draw & Auction on- Saturday, Oct.
20. This year's event sponsor is
international recording star, Loreena
McKennitt.
McKennitt, whose Quinlan Road
production company is based in
Stratford, has emerged as a major
philanthropist on several fronts
throughout the province. From her
commitment to local architectural
heritage to the promotion of marine
safety to her support of arts organi-
zations, McKennitt is a consistent
supporter of deserving causes. Eric
Coates, associate artistic director of-
the Blyth Festival praises her partic-
ipation, "Loreena knows the chal-
lenges of creating art while trying to
flourish financially. Her support for
other artists and the community at
logo.
The logo submitted by McNichol
was one of about 25 judged by mem-
. bers of council, according to Central
Huron Clerk Richard Harding. The
logos were first looked over by the
municipality's executive committee,
and each member submitted their top
three to council. "This one was in
everybody's top three...it made it
easy," he said.
"I'm very pleased we were able to
select this logo, especially from a
young person who just graduated
from graphics," Mitchell said. "I'm
especially pleased how it included
something from each formo-munici-
pality."
McNichol's design took into con-
sideration the fact Central Huron is
comprised of the former municipali-
ties of Goderich and Hullett Twps.,
large is truly inspiring. We are very
grateful."
The evening begins with a preview
of new artworks in the Blyth Centre
for the Arts' Bainton Art Gallery. All
the framed, original artwork meas-
ures approximately 3"x 3" and has
been donated by artists representing
the entire province.
Guests are provided with a com-
plete catalogue of the work and are
encouraged to spend the preview
portion of the evening selecting their
favorites. All guests' names are
entered in a draw for the main event.
As a name is drawn every guest is
allowed to return to the gallery and
select a piece of art for their own col-
lection.
The sense of competition and fun
escalates as the number of remaining
art works diminish. Any extra pieces
ice area to facilitate movement of
wastes within the county.
Under questioning from Central
Huron Councillor Carol Mitchell,
Janes explained it's at the local level
that the final implementation occurs.
Until there is an agreement between
the municipality generating the waste
and the one taking it, the new system
won't kick in.
The two. changes mean Wingham
can now have a back-up plan of ship-
ping its garbage to the South Huron
landfill in case something goes wrong
with the MOE re-evalutation of its
own site, Janes said.
The sudden surplus of landfill
capacity, plus the simplification of
rules for transferring waste from one
municipality might allow more
economies of scale in waste manage-
ment, Janes said. He explained that
per-tonne costs range from $35 at the
Mid-Huron' site at Holmesville to
along with Clinton. And as such;
included in her logo is Clinton radar,
geese from the Millen Wildlife Area,
a sunset and water from Goderich
Twp., along with corn, representing
the farming communities.
"The three geese flying represent
the three municipalities and that
we're all flying together, in forma-
tion," Mitchell said.
The daughter of Murray and
Colleen McNichol of RR3, Blyth,
McNichol said that by the time she
received notice about the contest,
where she now lives in Ottawa, she
had just two days to come up with an
idea and make her submission to the
contest. And after making the sub-
mission, she said she put the logo out
of her mind, and thus was surprised
to receive a call informing her that
her logo was•chosen.
will be auctioned to the group in
general.
Music is by the Kim Ladd Jazz
Trio. Fine wine and local delicacies
from Huron County's own gourmets
will fill the evening's menu.
Artistic Director, Anne Chislett is
thrilled by the return of the 3x3
draw. " It's so gratifying to throw a
party where everyone gets to take
home a beautiful piece of art. And
the more they have to battle each
other to get what they want, the more
fun everyone seems to have."

more than $200 in some smaller sites.
The MOE has said it is prepared to
"mothball" some sites for the time
being so that the capacity won't be
lost but fewer, larger sites could be
used in order to create economies of
scale.
In addition there are problems with
new amalgamated municipalities. In
North Huron, for instance, the three
wards of Blyth, Wingham and East
Wawanosh, each send their garbage
to different sites.
McNichol may come by some of
her graphic skills naturally, as her
mother was responsible for design-
ing-the Morris Twp. logo.
A graduate of Central Huron
Secondary School, McNichol will
have the opportunity when she is
back in this area to see her work on
display in a number of different loca-
tions.
According to Harding, the logo
will appear on municipal trucks,
business cards, a new municipal flag,
and hats and shirts. These latter two
items will be sold as promotional
items.
"I can't wait to see the flag, the
trucks," McNichol said.
A reassessment by the Ministry of
Environment (MOE) of the landfill
site serving Wingham has taken the
-town from being out of capacity to
having 100 years of capacity, a con-
sultant told Huron County council
Thursday.
Steve Janes, waste management
consultant, said the change is part of
a whole new attitude by MOE offi-
' cials that includes acceptance of the
idea the whole county can be treated
as one service area while municipali-
ties still control where their garbage
goes. "I'm delighted this has. hap-
pened," said Janes.
Wingham has long argued ,there
was much more area available on the
site of its landfill but it's only recent-
ly MOE officials were convinced to
open and re-examine the certificate of
approval for theii-te. The officials
then did new calculations indicating
there is sufficient "air space" within
the approved landfill footprint, to
extend the life of the landfill to near-
ly 100 years.
That increases the capacity for the
entire county to an additional four to
five years.
In the mid-1990s capacity was
judged to be just another II years for
the entire county. By 1999 capacity
was increased to 56 years for the
whole county without any new land-
fills being added. That will further be
extended with the new situation in
Wingham.
Because Wingham had been virtu-
ally out of landfill capacity, the coun-
ty had been negotiating methods
where garbage could be moved from
one municipality to another within
the county without expensive new
environmental studies as had been
required by the MOE. .
The ministry has now agreed to
define the entire county as one serv-
