Plan for waste disposal site endorsed
BLYTH — Council here met in closed yes- By virtue of hi$ office, Reeve Albert
sion January 14 with members of Hullett Wasson is a member of all committees -
Township Council and Ministry of the En-
vironment representative Phil Bye to
discuss the Plan of Operation and Develop-
ment for the Blyth-Hullett Waste Crisps
Site.
Following the session, council passed a
resolution endorsing the Plan of Operation
and Development as submitted by
Maitland Engineering Services Ltd, dated
May 5, 1985 as fulfillment of condition for
Certificate of Approval.
Phil Bye reviewed the plan and council
now awaits final Ministry of the Environ-
ment approval.
Also, in. connection with the Waste
Disposal Site, council has purchased 34
acres of land adjacent to the .site from
Lorne )o opp for $40,000. Hullett Council has
been requested to forward $20,000 of this
purchase price as its share. The rind will
be used as a buffer zone for the disposal
site.
Radio System
A two-way radio system has been in-.
stalled in the clerk's office to put him in
touch with the village foreman in eases of
emergency. Since many of the emergency
calls may deal with hydro and water, coun-
cil will request a donation from P.U.C. to
help cover the $1,395.28 installation cost.
Bus Pick -Up
Council.has expressed concern over the
bus pick-up of high school students on
Queen -Street (Highway 4). Although Mon-
tgomery Bus Lines is within its rights to
stop in front of the bus barns on Highway 4
to pick up students, council is concerned
that traffic is' being held up for a con-
siderable amount of time (it is against the
law for vehicles to pass a bus when it is
'stopped with its flashing lights on topick
up students).
Local school board representative John
Elliott will be informed about council's
concern over this situation.

Blyth Bro�vnees en o a g
�Y
By Kathy Bromley
BLYTH-Visitors with Stewart and
Mildred Ament on January 19 were Shirley
and Adrian Verstoep of Monkton.
On January 18, the,,♦ first Blyth Brownie
Club spent the afternoon at the arena enjoy-
ing skating and numerous activities after-
wards. Refreshments, purchased with
money raised at the bake sale which the
Brownies organized previously. Being able
to use their own money they had raised and
putting it to use gave the girls a real sense of
achievement. Their leaders, Brenda
Burkholder, and Azetta Gibbings and Joan
Milkhouse Drafn
Council hassaccepted Siep Bosma's. re-
quest to connect his milkhouse drain to the
village's sanitary sewer system. The
Ministry of the Environment has in-
vestigated his operation and tests indicate
that the discharge material from the
milkhouse is acceptable under the
village's by-law 9-1981.
Previously, Bosma's milkhouse drain
was connected to the village's storm sewer
system and this was in violation with the
Ontario Water Resources Act whieh
disallows discharging material into a
watercourse that may impair the quality
of water in the watercourse.
Snow Plow Repairs
Recent snow plow repairs cost the
village of Blyth $1,000. Now that the insides
of the snow plow are working well, council
has decided that it should receive a body
job this summer.
Stiffer Penalties .
The village clerk has been instructed by
council to write to the crown attorney in
Goderich, requesting stiffer penalties for
malicious vandalism. This action is being
taken in response to the theft of flags and
damage to flag poles at Radford Con-
struction Ltd.
Hall Insulation
Council has learned that the $5,400 spent
on insulation for Blyth Memorial Hall has
resulted in a big heating improvement at
the hall.
Tax Arrears
Of $317,146.07 billed for 1985 taxes in
Blyth, $299,450.63 has been collected. This
means thepercentage of tax arrears for
1985 is 5.21. In 1984, the percentage was
5.81 and in 1980 the percentage was 10.
For beginners, skating is not the easiest chore in the world. B Jennifer Brigham, 6,
who has only been skating on two other occasions, gets some he om Marie Markus

With it being close to 15 years since I have
been on skates, L,hoped it would' be like
riding a Bicycle - irlc 'yb`u teamed to ride it,
it doesn't take long coming back to you.
What I did overlook were what they had in
common - falls. But surely, it wouldn't take
long in coming back to me.
Well...I was out 'n the ice in no time flat.
Now don't get me wrong, this wasn't due to
eagerness, what I meant to say was m no
time, I was FLAT on the.ice!
I got up again and with each stride, my
confidence was regained. One thing I did
learn was I must have a different version of
figure skating - mine being when I have my
figure laying level with the ice!
I was glad though, that I decided to par-
ticipate with the boys when I did, for within
a day, mild spring-like temperatures moved
in and our rink slowly disintegrated right
before our eyes.
