Even the youngsters were deter- mined not to miss out on the fun: from left ore Vicki Regier, Kendra Fenwick, Margo Ducharme, and Amy Wildfong. Dump change requested Charles and Philip Erb came to the first regular October session of Stanley Township council with a re- quest. They have purchased Harold Stire's waste disposal business, and would like to take garbage collected from Stanley township customers to the township landfill site, but on a day other than the regular one. The township site is open on Mon- days and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 pm. from May 24 until Labour Day. After the September holiday weekend, the dump is only open on Saturdays. The Erb brothers asked if council would consider giv- ing them permission to use the site on another day of the week. Council reserved judgment on the matter. Cindy Fisher from the Iluron Coun- ty planning department attended the session to explain some of the reasons behind the county's request to have the provinicial government delegate approval authority to the county for certain planning and development functions. After she pointed -out that the change would speed up the paper- work and give as good results as the present policy, councillors agreed to support the request. An amendment was passed recognizing the, zoning change after a 12 -acre parcel of land with a barn and silos was severed from a 100 -acre lot in a transaction between John Havercamp and Richard Koostra. Councillor Jack Coleman was ap- pointed to sit on the Black Creek court of revision. Shore line protection loans totalling 514,100 were approved.
