They then buy a gift that would be suitable for the age marked on the angel: Sargeant said there were more than 100 angels on the tree at the beginning of the month and a few still remain. The gifts will be sent to the Christmas bureau on December 20. Stephen applies for landfill grant CREDITON - Stephen Township council is applying to the Ministry of Environment andEnergy for an $85,000 grant to extend the life of the township landfill. Township administrator Larry Brown said the grant is a continua- tion of assistance with the landfill site that Stephen has been receiving for some time. The township is hoping to get a certificate of ap- proval to continue dumping at the site for an additional five years. A large part of the $85,000 bein applied for may never be needed or spent, said Brown, noting that the funds arc contingent on whether a public hearing process runs into any lengthy delays or difficulties. "Wc would hope the actual costs are nowhere near that," said Brown. 4'icture book iVf Zurich's history in the works for '96 ZURICH - A committee has been selected to help put together a his- tory of Zurich in pictures.
