It's "premature" to lower the cost, said Laurie Cox, Chairperson of the Landfill Site Board. The only person to dissent with the switch in companies was Seaforth Deputy -Reeve Bill Teall. He said he had no problem with the change but felt there should be a tender process because municipal money was involved. Site supervisor Frank Postill said that, in the past, the site was simply concerned with getting rid of the tires. In the future there might be more demand for used tires, said mem- bcrs of the board. Chairperson Laurie Cox, Reeve of Goderich Township, noted that at one time there was no demand for cardboard but that it was now a valuable resource. The Mid -Huron Landfill Site Board authorized the purchase of a 45 -horsepower tractor with snowblower and mower for under $12,000. The motion to purchase was approved at the Feb. 9 meeting in Holmesville. * * * Conestoga Rovers has been re- appointed as engineering firm for the Mid -Huron Landfill Site Board. The approval was finalized at the Feb. 9 meeting despite the fact that their tender wasn't the lowest. One of the dissenters was Seaforth Deputy -Reeve Bill Teall. There was some discussion about the decision but it was noted that Conestoga Rovers had experience dealing with the Mid -Huron site. Teall, however, noted that another tender, B. M. Ross of Goderich, was local and less expensive. The difference in tenders was about more than $1,000 per year over three years. Three members voted in favour of re -appointing the firm while two voted against. THE HURON EXPOSITOR, February 15, 1995-7 Knights blank Winthrop Feb. 9, 1995 KNIGHTS 3 • WINTHROP 0 Winthrop had no get-up and go. Nothing seemed to work as far as the goal scoring went. The Knights could do no wrong as the goals started climbing, two goals scored by `T' Bar (Larry Baer); Juv. Bill Ryan and assistance came from Jeff Campbell, Jody Durand, Steve Hulshof and Jim Nyenhuis. RAIDERS 0 - EASY RIDERS 8 Riders a little short on goals and quite a bit short on players. They played hard and their goalie `Evan' stopped other numerous shots. Great goal tending, 'Mr. Eckert'! Is this the real Riders with all those goals for and not against? Goals scored by Jerry Zwep, Eddy Van Miltenburg, Jim Butson, Gary Souch, Rob McGregor and shin - trim Darrel Eckert. Lots of help from Steve Eckert Jr., Terry Morey and Jeff Allen, Robert Hunking and Lawrence Vink. GRADS 3 - ROYALS 1 Grads tried to capture more goals but were defeated by opposing goalie Rob Dearing! Grads goals scored by Chris Goris, Al Wynja and Mac O'Neill, instant passes by Martin Wynja and Dana Bean. Royals, Mike McCarthy pops in thereonly goal with help from David Major.
