(Wassinik photo) Meeting to discuss Vanastra School BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE The first public meetings for reviewing accommodation at three Huron County public schools have been set for January. The Huron County Board of Education set aside three days in January in which board officials and the public will have an oppor- tunity to discuss the situation at the schools. The dates were set at the board's Dec. 5 meeting. The school accommodation review pro- cess starts once a school's enrolment gets below a certain number of students. A com- mittee made up of representatives of the public will be involved in the process. The end result could be the eventual clos- ing of the three schools, but director of education Robert Allan has said that the decision to close a school may not necessari- ly be taken. The first meeting will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 17 at Vanastra Public School. The se- cond meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 24 at Hensall Public School and the third meeting is slated for Tuesday, Jan. 31 at J.A.D. McCurdy Public School in Huron Park. The meetings, being held at the three of- ficial schools, are expected to start at 8 p.m. You can wrap up his whole Christmas at... Be sure to see our quality selection of fashionable Men's Wear...

CLINTON 482©9351 ct`}i ill landfill sit gets Tue rr` , erg . it raj , 's a By Wilma Oke TUCKERSMITH - Tuckersmith Township council approved the terms and conditions of the municipal agreement for the establishment of a landfill operation, in- cluding the purchase of land, and the proposed budget, between the Town of Seaforth and the Townships of McKillop and Tuckersmith. Located in McKillop Township, about one mile north off Seaforth, the landfill site will be purchased from John Mcllwain for about $120,000. The cost per acre has been set at $3,300 for about 38 acres plus purchase of land for an access road, fence around property and about $85,000 for en- vironmental assessment costs. Council agreed to the terms and con- ditions of the option agreement for an access road to the landfill site with Herman Hoste, Christina Hoste and Eckerlea Farms Limited. Council will negotiate with the Village of Hensall to be included on the village's licence to operate its landfill site. In other business, passed for payment were the following accounts: Day Care at Vanastra, $6,553.06; Special Day Care at Vanastra, $4,576.91; Vanastra recreation centre, $11,065.33; roads, $47,363.29; and general accounts, $241,141.67 for a total of $363,700.26. Council accepted the offer of Ontario Hydro to purchase land described as Block A, Plan 133 for a cas purchase price of $700. Council will inform Phil Bisback that it has no objections to the proposed severance application on Lot 4, Plan 13, Brucefield. Council did not recommend approval of the severance application of William Dallas who attended the council session. Mr. Dallas pointed out to council that the area on Lot 26, Concession 2, London Road Survey, he requested for severance was zoned natural prov environment area, and that the ministry of the environment had no concerns about flooding in this particular area. He asked council to consider rezoning the property to permit a single family residence to be constructed. Wayne Caldwell of the Planning and Development Committee in Goderich has advised council that the severance ap- plication, as proposed, had been turned down by the committee on the grounds that it did not meet the conditions of the township proposed secondary plan. Mr. Caldwell further advised council that there were some 102 other similar pieces of property within the township, and that if each one was severed, then there would be a 1,000 foot restricted agricultural area round each proposed severance. Council's consensus was that the area should remain as a natural environment area. Council will offer to purchase from Mrs. Ethel Bcyes approximately three acres on Part of Lot 12, Concession 3, Huron Road Survey, at a cost of $2,750 per acre, plus all legal and survey costs, subject to a survey and all legal requirements being met. The proposed land would be used, if purchased, for the site of a new township shed. Council will put a notice in the local weekly newspapers in Clinton and Seaforth advising the residents of the township that it is illegal to park cars on township roads during the winter months and that the township will not be responsible for any damages to cars that are left parked on the streets and roads. Council spent considerable time discussing two 'drain reports - the Wallace Drain and the Williams Drain and deferred both of them for further discussion on the next meeting of council on January 3. Engineer Henry Lenten of Stratford, of sal 1 the R.J. Burnside and Associates engineering firm read reports on both drains. Concerning the Williams Drain, Peter Pulham, Canadian National Railway, attended and advised council that the CNR would prefer that a drainage ditch be constructed on their right-of-way and a berm be constructed to eliminate Ken Williams' problem of overflow water coming off the CNR right-of-way onto the Williams property. He further advised that CNR was prepared to pay the full con- struction costs of the ditch. As Mr. Williams was not in attendance at the council session council suggested that the report be deferred until the next meeting. There were three ratepayers at the meeting who are involved with the Wallace Drain - Douglas Wallace, Red Vantyghem and Jim McIntosh. Mr. Vantyghem advised council that although he had signed the original petition to help Randy Wilson obtain an outlet for his water, he was very violently opposed to the assessment schedule as proposed by the engineer. He requested that his name be withdrawn from the petition since he would receive no benefit for the amount that he has been assessed. Mr. Wallace advised council also, that he was opposed to the assessment schedule since he pays a fair substantial amount, and receives no benefit from the drain. The other owner present requested the drainage report be deferred to the next council meeting on January 3 in order that Mr. Wilson can be approached concerning the construction of the drain. Council will inform Adrian Timmerman on Lot 17, concession 4, London Road Survey that it has no objections to the severance application he has requested for his property. 11 1111 'MTI IF ):?D124.,�., 0 AI _Al fha1'' oM Clinton! all the greatrs! ea We would like to announce we've sold the PIZZA TRAIN to NEW ORLEANS PIZZA a chain with 21 locations In Ontario.
