Council met Sept. 30 in the Stanley complex and Fergusson took his place at the council table for the meeting. Council received letters of interest and interviewed Fergusson, John Becker of Dashwood, W.R. (Bill) MacDougall of Hay, M.J. (Nick) Nicholls of Dashwood and Michael Todoroff of Zurich. Fergusson, who lives in Huston Heights, sat on the Nutrient Management Bylaw group and has experience in farm- ing, heavy equipment and landscaping. Other business Counc. Mavis Govier thanked the more than 200 volunteers from all Bluewater wards for the great success of the Kenny Rogers fund-raiser Sept. 21. She added the afternoon entertainers prove Bluewater is a “very talented municipality”. Council approved rezoning for the Wally Gammage subdivision develop- ment of Glitter Bay Estates in Stanley. The 15-lot parcel is in an environmental- ly-significant woodlot. County planner Catherina Lisiak said “a substantial amount of trees have already been cleared to build McLean Rd. To prevent more trees from being removed, conditions include a maximum lot coverage of 20 per cent. When the development agreement was drawn up in 1990, provision on lot size included pri- vate septic systems, but Gammage said the lots can now be connected to munici- pal sewer service. In other business, the new Zurich cross- ing guard is Jo Carney-Koloff. Council voted not to sell or lease the 3- 4 acres of land under the Hensall com- post building, despite a request by Gregus Millwork of Lucan to use the building for a cabinet-making shop. Public works manager Ross Fisher said the building was sold and was supposed to have been removed years ago. Fisher said the Ministry of the Environment will likely require changes to the landfill site certificate of approval, site clean up and landfill gas monitoring. B.M. Ross engineers estimate several thousand dollars in costs. Fisher said Bluewater will eventually have to decom- mission the site.

The province-wide con- test is designed to help smokers set a quit date, prepare themselves and then stop smok- ing by Oct. 15 for at least one month. “It’s not easy to quit smoking,” says Sandra Feltz of the Coalition For a Smoke-Free Huron- Perth. “It helps if you are mentally ready and you have sup- ports in place for when the going gets tough.” Participants have about four weeks to get ready and work through the stages that lead to successful quitting. Feltz says a smoker who wants to quit should start by thinking about why they smoke, why they want to quit and how they will cope with the urges and pressures to smoke after they have quit. Contest participants are required to enlist the help of a non-smoking buddy who will give them sup- port along the way. Buddies of confirmed contest winners also win a cash prize. “The ways of quitting are as varied as the peo- ple who smoke,” says Deedee Herman, execu- tive director of The Lung Association, Huron-Perth. “We do know that all smok- ers go through five stages to being smoke-free — having no thought of quitting, think- ing about quit- ting, getting ready to quit, quitting and becoming and remaining smoke- free. The goal of this con- test is to provide incen- tives to help smokers move to the quitting stage and then give them the supports to help them quit.” The 2002 Quit Smoking Contest is open to all Ontario residents who are daily smokers and are 19 years of age or older. Entries must be received by midnight, Oct. 15, and smokers must quit smok- ing by Oct. 15 and remain smoke-free until Nov. 15 to qualify. The prizes include a new Honda Civic DX-G and seven Samsung digital cameras. “Everyone who enters the contest and quits — even if it’s only for a month — comes out a winner, whether or not their name is selected in the draw,” adds Feltz. For more information about the contest or for an entry form, call the Huron County Health Unit at 482-3416. Smokers can also enter online at www.quitsmokingontario. ca The 2002 Quit Smoking Contest is brought to you locally by the Coalition for a Smoke-Free Huron- Perth. Supporting mem- bers include the Canadian Cancer Society - Huron- Perth Unit, The Lung Association, Huron Perth, the Huron County Health Unit, the Perth District Health Unit, the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario - Perth Chapter and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
