Times Advocate, 1992-11-25, Page 26Page 26 Times -Advocate, November 25, 1992 Garbage dumper gets away with warning EXETER - Although the identity of someone who dumped garbage in Usbome Township is known to council, th' municipality will not be pressing charges but decided to warn the violator instead. After garbage was found dumped at the side of the road near the Us - borne dump on October 31, council decided to have it photographed and inspected. A positive identifi- cation was made for the origin of the waste and a motion to proceed with prosecution was forwarded at the township's last council meeting. However, the motion was defeat- ed, and council instead decided to notify the violator with a warning and the consequences for dumping garbage in the township. Beach road getting ready for spring ZURICH - As long as the winter storms keep their distance, visitors to the St. Joseph beach next sum- mer should find the access road much improved for traffic. Some unscheduled maintenance for the St. Joseph Beach Road will be completed in the next few days, weather permitting. The sides of the road were slumping due to ero- sion as it wound its way down the bluff to the beach. Hay Township ,works superintendent Ross Fisher has been having crews install new piling by the road to help shore it up and prevent collapse. "It was getting in bad shape and there was some extra money in the roads budget," explained township clerk Janisse Zimmerman. Last week for firearms amnesty EXETER - The Exeter OPP say they have been processing numer- ous requests for registrations of re- stricted weapons and disposal of unwanted -guns under the govern- ment's amnesty program for the month of November. The amnesty, which allows own- ers of weapons that are either re- stricted or prohibited to take them to the police without fear of prose- cution. continues until next Mon- day. As of December, anyone with a prohibited weapon or unregis- tered restricted weapon will be breaking the law. Adding to the confusion is a new list of weapons that now fall into the two categories. Some semi- automatic carbines and rifles arc now considered to be prohibited and must be turned in for disposal. Other semi-automatic "assault - style" rifles now fall into the re- stricted group, a class which previ- ously was aimed at registration of handguns. The OPP say they will offer ad- vice and explanations of the new laws to gun owners, but are asking them to have some patience with the detachment as the paperwork involved in registering weapons and processing new firearms acqui- sition certificates takes some time. Roads slippery, but no injuries reported from accidents EXETER - Officers of the Exeter OPP report investigating .several minor traffic accidents in the past week. Most were due to slippery and poor road conditions. Fortu- nately, no injuries were reported. The OPP are reminding motorists to drive a liule slower and to allow more time to get to destinations when the roads arc slippery. The police also say they arc step- ping up their RiDE (Reduce im- paired Driving Everywhere) spot checks on local roadways as the holiday season approaches. The OPP say the stops will be only mo- mentary for most motorists and say they will appreciate cooperation with drivers.

Deal to be made with Zurich $120,000 landfill purchase seen as saving money for Hay ratepayers ZURICH - After using a lease ar- rannement for its landfill site for several years, Hay Township has decided to purchase the site in the hope that some savings to ratepay- ers can be realized. Both the township and the village of Zurich have been leasing the use and operation of the Concession 9 landfill from Anastasia Martens, but as deputy -reeve Murray Keys explains, since the lease was up this year, township council realized they could save some money by purchasing it. The township al- ready holds the license for the site. "It made it more attractive," said Keys of the purchase_ agreement which will see the township pay $120,000 for the site in three in- stallments. The last lease agreement had the township paying $15,000 a year. Hay council will now have to ne- gotiate an agreement with Zurich for their use of the site and is al- ready advertising for an attendant to run it. Clerk Janisse Zimmerman said that the sites new ownership should not have any effect on its hours of dperation for the township residents who bring their own garbage to the dump. Zimmerman said the site is ex- pected to have about 10 years of useful capacity left. She also said • provincial regulations seem to fa- vour municipalities running their own landfill operations. "1 think the Ministry of the Envi- ronment prefers mat municipalities own the land and have control," said Zimmerman. Keys said that the township saw advantages to owning the site, even though Huron County is still plan- ning to establish a central landfill for all county municipalities in the future. "I think the county will be allow- ing the site that has capacity to con- tinue operating," said Keys, adding that alternative is seen as "definite- ly" less expensive than shipping to the county site. "The operation of one central landfill site would be more expen- sive than smaller municipal sites," said Keys. As to what Hay will be charging Zurich for use of the site is still un- determined and Keys said that point is still "under negotiation". rime Stoppers Breaktnter and theft On November 13, 1992, person(s) broke into a residence at part lot 1 Maitland Conc.
