Next sewer meeting will outline alternative costs, designs
capacity for Egmondville and poten-
tial growth in Seaforth over the next
20-25 Years.
By Susan Hunder:+nurk
A preferred alternative out of the
four potential sanitary sewer solu-
tions for Egmondville will be pre-
sented when the. next public meeting
is held on Nov. 18 at the Seaforth
community centre.
"We want to present detailed and
accurate costs and designs for all
the systems we're considering to the
meeting," says Kelly, Vader, engineer
with B.M. Ross and Associates.
A public meeting on June 15 out-
lined four different systems - two of
them gravity -fed sewers and two of
them alternative collection methods.
B.M. Ross and Associates has been
working at locating the existing _ sep-
tic tanks in Egmondville in order to
provide a detailed cost for one of the
alternative's, which involves hook-
ing up septic tanks which separate
solids from liquids and the liquids to
the sewage system either by gravity
or pumping.
"The advantages are they have
smaller pipes so the excavation costs
are lower," she says.

the conversation about a
community you've never
even visited, let alone lived
in, wading through any
number of cultural and po-
litical differences and com-
ing up with a story that
would keep the citizens of
that faraway community
informed about their own'
backyard.
Just because technology
makes something possible,
it doesn't necessarily make
it prudent.
And, it certainly doesn't
fit my definition of local
journalism.

sure what he'll do for work once he's sent back
to Karachi, Pakistan's largest city and finan-
cial capital.
"A lot of people are unemployed there," he
says. "I'll look for low-paying jobs."
Muhammad says the fact that he speaks
English won't be much of an advantage, . since
many people there also speak the language be-
cause it's taught in the school system.
The deportation letter froca Canadian Bor-
der Services says Muhammad will be allowed
to take on the plane two ` suitcases, weighing
no more than 50 pounds each and one small
carry -on bag no more than 10'pounds.
The letter notes that Muhammad would
need to pay the airline for any other baggage
he wanted to bring along.
He currently rents an apartment and says
he'll need to sell at auction bis two cars — a
2002 Buick Rendezvous and a 1994 Pontiac
Sunbird.
Other possesions he won't be able to take
with him include his home computer.
In a last ditch effort to stay, Muhammad says
his lawyer Peter Wuebbolt, who's based in To-
ronto is suggesting he could possibly apply for
a federal court appeal, but he isn't sure if he
would be accepted for a hearing before the end
of the month. He also says the estimated ex-
pense would be around $3,000.
If he is sent back to Pakistan, it will be the
first time he's seen his wife and two teen:
children in six years. While
in Canada, he's been send-
ing them $500 a month to
pay for food, clothes and
other necessities.
"My . family says, 'Keep
trying,'" Muhammad says.
"We're still hoping for
change."
