REID ALLEN FURNITURE RESTORATTION & REFINISHING SEAFORTH 527-2717 COUNTY OF HURON CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROVISION OF SEPTAGE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING The County of Huron is considering a plan to provide regional treatment and disposal facilities for septic tank wastes and other hauled domestic sewage (known collectively as septage). The project involves the construction of new septage treatment facilities adjacent to the sewage treatment plants currently servicing the communities of Wingham and Exeter. The new facilities would be designed to accommodate septage material collected within the County, as well as adjacent municipalities. Treated effluent from the proposed facilities would be discharged into the existing treatment plants for disposal. Both plants have sufficient hydraulic and organic capacities to accommodate the sewage flows anticipated from the proposed works. The project is being planned in accordance with the recommendations of the County of Huron Study of Septage Treatment and Disposal. This study was commissioned to investigate opportunities for treating septage at existing sewage treatment facilities within the County, in advance of restrictions to land application scheduled for December 31, 2006. Based on an analysis of study findings, it was recommended that the County of Huron proceed with the further evaluation of two septage treatment sites (considered the most practical servicing plan). This recommendation was received by Huron County Council in a motion dated October 3, 2002. County Council recently identified the provision of the proposed treatment facilities as a health and safety priority. Accordingly,. the project is the subject of a funding application submitted by the County of Huron under the Canada -Ontario Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (COMRIF). The project is following the planning process set out for Schedule C activities under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) document. Schedule C projects are approved subject to a comprehensive assessment process designed to identify potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed works and to plan for appropriate mitigation. The process includes multiple opportunities for consultation with the review agencies, stakeholders and the public. Two information meetings are being planned to provide stakeholders and the general public with details on the initial phases of the investigation and to receive input from interested persons. The intent of these initial meetings is to discuss factors associated with the selection of the preferred septage treatment and disposal plan. Matters relating to the design and implementation of the preferred servicing plan will be evaluated during subsequent project stages and discussed at future information meetings.

This Notice Issued March 30. 2005 Larry C. Adams, CAO Corporation of the County of Huron "YOUR RENOVATION AND HOME SPECIALISTS!") Carolyn Wilson "I was surprised and very honoured," 'said Wilson. "This award is important because it recognizes the field in which I work and the work of my colleagues." In the early 90s, Wilson established field trips that allowed students to go beyond the regular curriculum. Wilson has taken her high school students to the Dominican Republic to live and work with sugar cane cutters, giving them an opportunity to learn about life in a developing country through the eyes of the local people. "It's a gateway to helping young people understand the issues that are central to our lives as global citizens," she said. She's brought them to a peaceful protest at the School of the Americas in Georgia - a United States training centre for soldiers from Latin American countries. Wilson said the program changes her students' perspectives, spurring some to make a difference based on their experiences in the courses. "I hope to instill the belief that (my students have a contribution to make. They can make a difference in the world. They can be heroes," she said. Wilson attended St. James School and Seaforth District High School before attending the University of Western Ontario and Althouse Teacher's College. "I had a great education in Seaforth. While media literacy wasn't offered in those days, my interest was sparked at the elementary and secondary level by current events and social studies," she said. Along with teaching Wilson is also president of the Association for Media Literacy and is travelling this month to California to a literacy think tank hosted by George Lucas. She is also pfomoting the work of Waterkeeper Alliance in Canada, a grassroots' organization involved in patrolling lakes and rivers and enforcing environmental laws.

Last year, nine teams from across Huron County helped raise $24,150 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The•teams rode a 29 seat bike around Seaforth in half- hour intervals. Teams included Huronview and Huronlea, the Seaforth Manor, the Centre for Employment and Learning, the Huron -Perth Catholic District School Board, the Scotiabank in Exeter, Walmart from Goderich, Heartland Credit. Union from Clinton, Hurley's Celtic Inn and the St. Columban Soccer league and the Clinton, Brucefield, Brussels and Seaforth fire departments. Courtney said that he bas contacted team leaders from last year's teams to see if they are interested in signing up for this year's fundraiser. "We're always looking for new teams," Courtney said, adding if someone is interested in being a team captain he has Tots of information on how to bring a team together and how to motivate their team. Last year was the first year the Big Bike for Stroke took a spin in Seaforth. Courtney said that previous rides in, Exeter and Goderich were not nearly as successful as the one held in Seaforth. "It pulled some of the people from Goderich, some people from Exeter and teams from the Seaforth area," said Courtney. Money raised in the nation- wide fundraiser goes to heart and stroke research and education. "People really enjoy this experience. It's a great team building experience because everybody gets together and they pedal in unison to make this huge hike move," said Courtney. "Once people have 'tried it, they generally come hack year -after year." - For more information or to sign a team up, contact Keith Courtney at (519) 273-5212.
