Steve Burns from B.M. Ross consulting engineers explained to council that Exeter, Hensall, and Stephen Township are all con- ducting sewage studies to address their own problems. "Each municipality is doing its own sewage study," explained Burns, who pointed out that while Exeter and Hensall are looking for additional sewage capacity, Huron Park in Stephen Township does not have a capacity problem, but the plant built in the 1940s is in need of repair or replacement. "There is no study, per se, that's looking at all three communities," said Burns. While there will likely be some savings by sharing a joint facility at Exeter, Burns said the studies will also consider separate systems for each municipality. Hay and Zurich both had representatives at the initial meeting be- tween Hensall, Exeter and Stephen Township, at which Burns said he "didn't see any advantage to Hay and Zurich being involved." Burns said Zurich will likely find out all it needs to know "by sim- ply keeping abreast of those studies". Hay Township has already authorized "a very preliminary in- vestigation" into the need for sewage treatment for the lakeshore communities. "It is more and more likely there will be something there," said Burns, suggesting Zurich may be better to join in with that project. Reeve Bob Fisher said he contacted MPP Paul Klopp about get- ting Zurich involved in the joint treatment plant project, because a couple of years ago he proposed all five municipalities consider a joint facility, mainly because Zurich could never afford the $3 mil- lion -plus for a plant of its own, and its maintenance. "There's no way the Village of Zurich can ever do that," said Fish- er, adding that the village has never got any commitment from the Ministry of the Environment on whether it can expand its present la- goon system, or if it would have to build a new plant. Fisher said he thought it would make sense to build a treatment plant near the lakeshore to serve the entire region from Exeter west. "Geographically it should be to the west because it's all downhill," said Fisher. Burns said such a location might be considered, instead of Exeter, during the environmental assessment phase of a joint facility project. Fisher said Zurich doesn't need another sewage study, because the villf3ge has enough capacity for two unbuilt subdivisions, but little more. The reeve said the village has always taken the view that lakeshore cottage development helps Zurich's businesses. That, said Burns, may be a good reason for Zurich to be involved in a joint program with Hay Township. "Nobody builds sewer systems without government grants," said Burns, and pointed out Oakwood was looking at $25-30,000 per property for sewers. But Burns noted the government is reluctant to subsidize seasonal residential use, such as cottage subdivisions. If a Hay Township project were to include the village, it might be viewed more favourably in the approvals process. "Fm glad the door isn't shut for us," said Fisher, who thanked Burns for his insights into the treatment plant issues. South Huron choir wins competition BAYFIELD - The South Huron District High School choir came away from the second annual Bay- field Choir Competition with a win on Sunday afternoon, bettering their second -place ranking last year. St. Andrew United Church was filled to capacity as the four high school choirs from Exeter, Stratford Central, Mitchell, and Wingham competed to within a two-point spread in scores. Each choir re- ceived plaques and cash prizes for their ranking in the competition. Adjudicator Earl Clark gave a de- tailed analysis of each piece per- formed by the choirs. South Huron performed Merrily We Sing Noel, Only a Baby Came, Blow Blow Thou Winter Wind 0 Mungu, and The African Trilogy under the direction of Ruth Claessens. The event was part of the "Christ- mas in Bayfield" weekend, spon- sored by the village's BIA, Lions, Lioness, and Optimists Clubs, and other community organizations. The event is billed as the only choir competition in the region. ATTENTION!! Starting on November 1st we will be returning to our winter hours. We will continue to open evenings by appointment only.

Music Department. On Sunday, November 20, the annual Sunday Pops Concert takes place at 2:00 p.m. in the school's large gym. This concert is a bargain with tickets costing $2.00 in ad- vance or $3.00 at the door, promise organizers. The concert features all of the major ensembles of the school plus some new additions. Ruth Claessens, now in her fifth year of teaching at South Huron, conducts the choral ensembles at the school. This year she has kept herself very busy with rehearsals for the Concert Choir (approxi- mately 60 members), a Chamber Choir (25 keen participants) and the Senior Triple Trio. New this year to the vocal ensem- ble, list is the Junior Triple Trio and the yet -to -be -named male ensem- ble. All the vocal groups have been working very diligently and have performed for the school, a taping session at Fanshawe College and this past weekend at the Bayfield Choir Festival. The instrumental side of the mu- sic department has been rehearsing in preparation for this concert also.
