Huron East
seeks to defer
landfill deal
- ---- Susan ndertnark_

An agreement between Huron
County, South Huron and the three
municipalities who hope to use the
Exeter landfill site when the Mid -Hu-
ron landfill reaches its capacity, was
deferred by Huron County's commit-
tee of the whole on Aug. 5.
Coun. Bernie MacLellan (Huron
East) asked for the deferral, stating
that Huron East is still concerned
about some unanswered questions
surrounding costs.
• "My concern is why would the
county pass it when a lot of things
aren't answered yet. It's inappropriate
to sign the document at this point,"
said MacLellan.
MacLellan asked that another meet-
ing be held to "sit down and fill in the
blanks that haven't been filled in yet."
He said that Huron East had not been
able to send a representative to the
last meeting held about the issue.
The proposed agreement between
Huron County, South Huron, Huron
East, Goderich and Central. Huron
says the three municipalities will
begin in Februrary, 2011 "or another
date agreed to by the parties" to use
the Exeter landfill for a maximum cu-
mulative total of 65,000 tonnes.
The capacity is broken down
to 3,500 tonnes for Central Hu-
ron, 6,000 tonnes for Goderich and
3,5000 tonnes for Huron East for a
total of 13,000 tonnes annually for
five years.

culated by South Huron's consulting
engineer after notice is received un -

Celtic Fest
wraps up
for another
year

The snare hits one... two...
Time is set.
The pipes, sounding numerous as
grains of sand on the beach, begin.
Over the cool air of an August eve-
ning, magic takes captive the Celtic
Roots Festival crowd at Harbour
Park.
But. what puts that magic in the
air?
"Great communities deserve
great culture,” said Warren Rob-
inson. "And we have a great com-
munity."
Warren and his wife, Eleanor,
have been at the helm of Celtic Fest
since its inception, and this year,
they have put together one of the
best lineups the Earth, Water, Wind
and Main stages have ever seen.
"Both nights, we've nad a dyna-
mite lineup," Warren said Sunday.
"There is a wealth of wonderful
music and talent."
The theme for this year's festival
was "the scattering", and with per-
formers from across Canada and
the globe, the festival was true to
its motif.
From the Bluegrass Showdown,
highlighting the Celtic side of the
Appalatians; to the Canadian/
Scotch/lrish blend of The Outside
Track; to the French-Canadian fun
of De Temps Antan; many different
facets of the Celtic experience were
seen, heard, and felt on stage.
