AuburnThe news from Brussels waste stays in Morris Compiled by Kay Lapp Phone 526-7264 WI plans games for February On Thursday, Jan. 20 at 1:30 p.m. the Auburn WI met at the Community Hall with a good attendance. In charge were the public relations officers Maureen Bean and Teresa Roetcisoender. The card report was given and the Christmas cookie exchange had netted $35.25. A thank you letter had been received from the Children’s Aid for the money, gifts and food donated. It was decided to have cards, crokinole, etc. for the February meeting. The day will be Feb. 17 but the exact time is not definite as yet. Every WI member is to bring food for lunch. Teresa Roetcisoender and Bernice Anderson will be in charge. The guest speaker was Jackie Beemer who is associated with the Stratford Heart and Stroke Foundation. She had an overhead projector for display and gave an excellent speech on this subject. Lunch was then supplied by Mildred Lawlor and Erma Cartwright assisted by Evelyn Christensen. Resident moves The community was notified of the recent death of Wilma Brawley at Wingham. Mrs. Brawley used to be an Auburnite. Mrs. Dorothy Grange has moved to Goderich Place. Knox United, Auburn did not have a service on Sunday, Jan. 23 due to the absence of their minister Rev. Paul Ross. The community is enjoying the white wonderland. It seems that at last winter has arrived. Snowmobiles are being used again. The final disposal location for Brussels waste will remain at the Morris Twp. landfill site for now, but the future is unknown. When Brussels councillors met with Morris council recently, dis­ cussion centred around Brussels’ continued use of the Morris site through 2000, however, closure of Area A and associated costs along with the opening of Phase 1 were in question. When asked when the move could occur, Morris Reeve Bert Elliott said the township would like to keep Area A open for another year, but it would depend on when the site filled. He would also like to see Area A remain in use for the rest of the year so the new council of 2001 would be responsible for the new location. Road Superintendent Lloyd Michie, who is responsible for the landfill site, said Phase 1 may have to be utilized as early as mid-sum­ mer. Although closure of Area A has not yet been discussed, Brussels Clerk-Treasurer Donna White inquired about the cost and how it would be financed. One condition still has to be met before Area A can be closed, stated Art Clark of Maitland Engineering Services, even though the new site, Phase 1, is ready to go. In accordance with the Plan of Development and Operation, a clo­ sure requires a cap of 600 millime­ tres of tested clay and 150 millimetres of topsoil as well as established vegetation. The clay is not readily available in this area and trucking from Holyrood would be costly, said Michie. It is estimated the closure could cost $327,500. Noting the unknown closure date, White said this leaves Brussels hanging. “We don’t want it to come in June and we still don’t know the cost.” Suggesting that if Brussels were to stay with the Morris landfill beyond this year, Elliott said it might be better to look at a per ton­ nage charge. No figures have been determined on a tonnage basis though Elliott said this could be part of a new agreement for Phase 1. Brussels Councillor Joe Seili asked if a per tonnage rate for the new site could be determined by March. Morris Twp. Clerk-Treasurer Nancy Michie replied that if a new agreement was needed this year, the (amalgamation) transition teams could set the rate. Elliott encourage the two munici­ palities to work together. Harold and Karen Bridge are pleased to announce the forthcoming marriage of their daughter Shirley Ann to Michael James Boven son of Helen and Henry Hummel and the late Albert Boven. The wedding will take place February 5, 2000 at Blyth United Church. An open reception will follow at Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre.

All residences in Cranbrook will be located either on Cranbrook Road or on MacNabb Line and assigned 911 numbers. As the 911 system will not be operational until September residents are advised when they phone emergency services to continue giving their present address and number.
