Town to return hall to Optimists
Doug Fry is the new presi-
dent of Seaforth's reorga-
nized and rejuvenated
Optimist Club.
Recreation director Marty
Bedard reported to council
last week the club has "had
two meetings so far and it
looks like they will get up
and running within a couple
of months."
The town took over
Optimist Hall when the old
club folded, and plans to turn
it hack over to the new club.
Insurance for the property
is roughly $475 annually.
Council directed Bedard to
sec if the town and club
could split this burden, with
the town assuming liability
insurance and the Optimists
assuming insurance on_thc
building.

become zone landfills ... the
ratepayers of both municipali-
ties and all of the county are
best served by County owner-
ship of the sites."
Morris has not yct put a
price tag on its dump, but
Exeter is willing to sell its site
for $2,100,000.
County Planning Director
Gary Davidson warned coun-
cil not to turn off the funding
tap.
The planning department
has been working on. a master
plan for waste in the county,
but if thc council stops fund-
ing that portion of the depart-
ment's work, Davidson said
the whole process will he
killed.
"You can't just say tomor-
row, 'Let's start again,— said
Davidson adding that if the
money stops flowing, even
briefly, it will "disassemble"
the resources and consultants
currently working on the
waste management master
plan project.
Bailey seemed disgruntled
with Davidson's doom's day
perspective and said deferring
discussions on waste manage-
ment will not equate to killing
anything.
"There must he a place in•
politics for common sense,"
said Bailey.
Defending his department,
Davidson said county co-ordi-
nation of waste management
under a zone system will save
money.
Since the waste manage-
ment process started, the
search for a landfill has cost
about $I.8 million, $I -million
of which has been paid by
Huron County taxpayers.
Reeve Brian McBurncy of
Turnberry Township said he
remembers when the waste
management process started
and noted it was the munici-
palities who requested the
county's help.
Environmental regulations
require municipalities to com-
plete an expensive approval
process before any changes
canhe made to landfill sites.
Environmental assessments,
for example, can reportedly
colic millions of dollars. Under
a waste management master
plan co-ordinated by the coun-
ty, McBurney echoed
Davidson and said municipali-
ties can avoid facing the brunt
of that approval expense.
"This is the best path," he
said.
The report ordered by coun-
cil will outline the implica-
tions of the county assuming
ownership and operation of
the Morris and Exeter landfill.
The council did not put a
deadline on when thc report is
to be completed.
