The Master Plan study process is being carried out to identify a comprehensive, long-term strategy for the disposal of sewage biosolids material generated at the WPCP. The Town currently transports biosolids from the WPCP to the Mid -Huron Landfill facility for disposal. As this facility is scheduled for closure in January 2011, the Town has commenced a Master Plan study to investigate potentia! alternatives for treatment and disposal. A range of potential disposal options are being considered as pail of this project, including the following alternatives: redirecting sludge material to another landfill facility; upgrading the existing sewage plant to process sludge into organic biosolids for land use application; sludge material to a another biosolids management facility for processing and disposal. In the following months, the Town will evaluate all viable alternatives, taking into consideration factors such as potential environmental impacts, technical complexity and cost. When completed, the study will recommend the most effective strategy for handling biosolids from the Goderich WPCP upon the closure of the Mid -Huron Landfill. THE MASTER PLAN PROCESS: The project is following the planning process set out for Master Plans under the Class EA document. Master Plan investigations incorporate, at a minimum, a screening process that involves consultation with the public, stakeholders and government review agencies. The purpose of the screening process is to identify potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed works and to plan for appropriate mitigation. PUBUC INVOLVEMENT: Public input and comment are invited for incorporation into the Master Plan at this initial stage of the study. Please forward comments by November 21, 2009 to the Project Engineer: B.M. Ross and Associates, 62 North Street, Goderich, Ontario, N7A 2T4. Telephone (519) 524-2641.

The Goderich PeeWee Rep Sailors started off their regular season well Oc- tober 15 with a 6 - 2 victory over the Walkerton Capitals. The team worked hard in the first period, with Kyle Lan- glois scoring the first goal of the game unassisted. In the second period, increased pres- sure by the Capitals made the Sailors step it up a notch, with Chase Kulich and Stephen De Jager both contribut- ing a goal. At 3:05 left in the second, a fluke goal by Walkerton made it 3 - 1 Sailors heading into the third. The third period saw one more goal by Walkerton, but the Sailors came back strong. Langlois banked his sec- ond of the night, along with goals by Ian Simpson and Evan Guest, for a 6 -2 win. Simpson, De Jager, Ethan Lajeu- nesse, Nick Souch, Jarred Bakker, Ry- lan Lamb, and Mason Nurse all contrib- uted assists during the game. The Sailors had another big win on Oct. 17 in Port Elgin against the Sau- geen Shores Storm. Outstanding goal- tending by Branden Bean pushed the Sailors on to victory. The Storm opened up the scoring in the first period taking the lead, 1 - 0. Simpson tied it up for the Sailors, but a few seconds later the Storm answered back with yet another goal, making it 2 - 1 Saugeen Shores. The second period saw edge -of -your - seat, end to end action with great pen- alty killing by the Sailors on the only penalty of the game. With 3.3 seconds left in the second period, defenceman Mason Nurse let one go from the blue line and tied the game up 2 - 2. The third period was excitement from start to finish. Two minutes into the pe- riod, Simpson contributed his second goal of the night to put the Sailors up 3 - 2. Bean held his team in the game making several spectacular glove and pad saves, and the Sailors held on for the win. In their third regular season game on Sunday, October 18, the Pee Wee Rep Sailors lost a hard-fought battle to the Listowel Cyclones. There was no scor- ing in the first period, but Jordan John- son was impressive in net as he fought off the Cyclones' constant pressure. The Sailors opened up the scoring in the second period with a goal by Jarred Bakker, assisted by Chase Kulich. While on the power play, Listowel was able to tie the game up, then shortly af- ter scored one more to go ahead 2 = 1. The third period saw lots of frantic ac- tion and the Cyclones scored a couple of more goals at the end of the third for a final score of 4 - 1 Listowel.
