Ministry investigating death of fish in river Thousands of fish were killed recently in an area stretching from the Morrison dam reservoir to several miles upstream. It is believed the fish may have been killed by seepage from sweet corn cannery waste. An Usborne Township farm has been cited as a possible source of the seepage, but investigation by the ministry of the environment- is continuing. No charges have been laid to date, according to a ministry official in Ole Owen Sound office. . The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority staff were advised of the situation when dead fish were 'seen floating in the river at Highway 83 east of Exeter. The ministry of the environment were called in to investigate and trac- - ed the possible source to seepage from cannery wastes on a farm on a drain tributary to the Ausable. Along the affected area, which MOVE LOCATION The Grand Bend chapter of Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship In- ternational has been holding monthly dinner meetings at the Pindale motel in Grand Bend and breakfast's at P.J.'s Roadhouse, Crediton, during July and August.

Tracey Ryan of the Ausable Bayfield staff explains that seepage from corn waste poses a serious threat to water quality and users of the water, including aquatic life. It can also cause severe damage to field tiles and drains, causing tile failure. "Cannery wastes are 80 percent moisture and must be stored and handled in a manner that ensures that the liquid cannot gain access to tiles, wells or watercourses," she notes. Stephen asks landfill study Stephen township is making ap- plication to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment for grants to allow a feasibility study for a new landfill site. The present Stephen dump area is being phased out after discussions with a number of area municipalities, McGillivray is the only other townshiop interested in getting a new location. It is expected McGillivray will be making a similar request for landfill site study monies.

Councillor John Elder has not yet decided if he will run again. Wilder informed council MPP Jack Riddell had arranged a "fact-finding" meeting with the ministry of the en- vironment on Wednesday morning in Toronto to discuss a waterline along Highway 21. Wilder, Deichert, Keys, clerk Joan Ducharme and consulting engineer Burns Ross will attend. Adrian Bayley attended the meeting to ask why he had not been informed that an application for con- veyance of property at concession 2, lot 22 was on the night's agenda. The conveyance would sever the proper- ty of Pauline Ingram, conveying the retained portion of 4.1 acres to her son Rick and listing the remaining 84.5 acres for sale. Bayley had successfully opposed a severance application previously, which had been turned down by the OMB. At that time he had sent a let- ter to the Hay township office asking to be informed of any future hearing regarding severance of that property. Clerk Joan Ducharme read out the letter, adding that notices of hearings are sent out under the jurisdiction of the County, and ascertained that Bayley had been notified the matter was coming before the Huron Coun- ty -planning and development com- mittee on September 26. Ducharme said "if you were told you would be notified personally, I likely forgot". Bayley listed three objections to the proposed conveyance; it does not con- form to the secondary plan; lot 22 has already had one severance; and the severance would create incompatible, non-farm use for an agricultural area. Bayley was concerned about increas- ed traffic on his land, the possibility of another house being built close to his, and what the large barn on the Happiness is often the result of he- ing too busy to be miserable. property could be used for. "I couldn't have better neighbours than Rick Ingram and my other neighbours, and I want to keep it that way. To protect my property, I don't want these opportunities opened up", Bayley said. Bayley asked Hay township to "dig in its heels", and try to have thecoun- ty hearing delayed until councillors had time to gather more facts, and make an informed decision. He said he was asking no favours - if the severance does not conform to the township's secondary plan, he does not want the application to go to Goderich "with your blessing". Before leaving, Bayley said he was aware the township's recommenda- tions could be over -ruled at the coun- ty level, but as a ratepayer he ex- pected the township to protect his interests. Wilder wondered if the night's discussion was premature, as the township had been given only 48 hours notice in which to make a decision on the severance before the countywas scheduled to deal with it. He said if an 'apology was in order, he apologized, and "would try not to let this happen again". Near the end of the session (which lasted until almost midnight) council decided to try to get more background information than had been available in the application for conveyance, and to talk to chief county planning officer Dr. Gary Davidson. In the event a decision was reached before the Thursday hearing in Goderich, Bayley was to be informed Don Bender, Ray Regier, Lawrence Becker and Lennis Gingerich attend- ed the meeting to hear the reading of the report on the Becker -Bender drain. Engineer Bruce•Holdsworth thoroughly detailed all that will be done. The total cost will be $61,000, less allowances and the one-third subsidy. 412/ STANDARD TRUST The report was adopted with the proviso that nonperforated tile be us- ed where feasible. Tenders will not be called until the new council is in office. October 21 at 8:30 p.m. was set as the date for the first sitting of the court of revision on the Bender - Becker drain. Contractors Hodgin and Hayter are waiting until crops are off before com- pleting work on the Triebner drain. A bylaw was passed to collect the actual cost of $11,694 for work on the Datars-Logan drain. the estimate had been $11,310. Council supported the Huron Coun- ty Pork Producers' petition asking the provincial government for immediate emergency assistance to red meat producers.
