"The back is a smaller version of the front using smaller proportions and the language of back to front. This house is one of my best," says Rutledge.

We had to run with the plain details," he says. Paul says the next project will be rebuilding the original porch they've seen the house had in old pictures. "It's very nice and it entirely suits the house. But, it's not very big. It would accommodate a couple of rocking chairs - that's what I envision out there," he says. While Joan says she didn't do much gardening the first five or six years, she's created several flower gardens around the house while Paul has planted a large vegetable garden on the east side of the house. He's also added about 1,000 trees to the property. The four other properties on the tour include Cathy and Don Pletsch, Dick and Margaret DeJong, Bob and Helen McNaughton and Ken and Mary Beth Larone.

Originally scheduled for a one-time production on June 9 at 8 p.m., demand for tickets has already outstripped available seating so an additional performance has been added to accommodate the enthusiastic reception. With Brian Black directing a cast of local youths and adults, Walton Hall is hosting an ambitious community musical production of "The Rock Slinger and His Greatest Hits." Community theatre. especially musicals, have been an integral part of the hall's history but this is the first such effort in several years. In preparation two local artists, Marjorie Humphries and Marie Coutts, have transformed the stage with a magnificent tapestry. Costumes have been produced by an energetic and enthusiastic effort from another group of local ladies and the stage has been cleared and extended specially for the event. • "The Rock Slinger and His Greatest Hits" is a light hearted re telling. of the familiar tale of David and Goliath. just recently staged for the first time. It features lively music and an imaginative cast of characters. Refreshments will follow the performance and tickets can he purchased by calling Marie McGavin. 527-0936. Patty Banks 887-6156 or Brian Black 887-8239. All proceeds to go to Duff's United Church. By Chris Lee Bag tag programs extend life of local landfill site By Sarah Caldwell Goderich Signal -Star Staff User pay 'bag tag' programs and increased recycling have increased the lifespan of landfill sites in Huron County from 13 years to 54 years, county council heard at a recent Huron County Council meeting. Steve Janes, a consultant on the county and local municipal waste management activities over the past year, told county councillors the best way to handle waste in the county is to optimize landfill sites. Over the period from 1994 to 1998 the average per household collection rates of recyclable materials doubled with the major jumps occurring in conjunction with the introduction of bag tags. Reviews were also undertaken by Bluewater Recycling Association of the reduction performance in Clinton and Bayfield for 1998 and 1999 and in both communities reductions to the residential waste streams of between 45 to 48 per cent have been achieved, largely as a result of the bluebox program and'the inducement created by bag tags. • On the basis of all wastes. including commercial wastes the figure drops to between 15 to 20 per cent. Three directions are being followed in the county under the Waste Management Master Plan to continue to focus on optimizing the use of existing landfills within the County. The three directions included reducing the amount of wastes requiring landfill through the use of bag tag user fees and the promotion of of blucbox collection of recycleable; extend the capacity of existing landfills by re- examining with the Ministry of the Environment the Certificates of Approval for the operating landfills; and improve the management of the existing landfills to achieves the most effective disposal operations. The County Waste Management Master Plan contains three major coylponents to optimize ex ting landfills, including defining the entire County of Huron as one service area to facilitate the movement of wastes within the County without the need for extensive EA or EPA studies and applications, encourage newly restructured municipalities within the County to optimiie the existing landfill capacity within their boundaries: facilitate export arrangements amongst County municipalities based on agreements between participating municipalities. "These three aspects are the cornerstones of the waste management manufacturing plan for Huron County. This approach meets the requirement for long term waster planning across the County." said Janes. "It permits flexibility' with newly restructured municipalities and allows export within the County based on the agreement amongst participating lower - tier municipalities. He said this approach reflects a considerable opportunity for cooperative waste management within the County but these opportunities are by no means assured. The County can do its part by allowing the process to occur and facilitating agreements. The local municipalities are then responsible for implementation.
