Iandt,JI site attendant, explains the garbage which can go in the various separation bins at the township dump. The bins are for newsprint, household glass, and tin cans.

Howick Township starts new recycling program GORRIE — You may have notice the.grey containers that appeared at the Howick landfill site not too long ago. They are the first signs of the recycling program to be started in Howick Township in the near future. The official start of the program, planned to begin one'week ago, was delayed- because;, thea.f, tine- boxes" council had ordered for distribution to households in the' area have not arrived, Once they do arrive, however, they will be distributed immediately and council will at that time place advertisements and hand out flyers informing the public as to the details of recycling. The recycling program was the focus of a special council meeting on Jan 10. Bob Gibson, the landfill site attendant on the two days the dump is open to the public, informed council of the need to make arrange- d meats for pick-up of the grey bins from the site on a regular basis as many people had inquired about recycling and started using the bins, According to Mr. Gibson recycling in Howick Township, though not official, began on Jan. 8. If you want to start recycling before the blue boxes arrive youvan do so by sorting all newsprint but n glossy magazines or telephone books, and deposit in the grey bins. Additionally glass and plastic food containers without their lids can be recycled. Rinse them out and put Wingham woman wins first prize in quilt contest For the second time, a Wingham woman has taken first prize in a quilting contest held to help cele- brate a major historical event. Last week the Clinton office of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food announced that a quilt made by Doris Bushell has been awarded first among those entered in a contest to help celebrate OMAF''s centennial. Mrs. Bushell was also the quilt winner in Ontario's bicentennial contest in 1984, and her prize-win- ning work was then sent on as a gift to Queen Elizabeth. This time, the winning quilt becomes the property of Huron County OM'AF and will hang; in the foyer of the Clinton.,off ice.

Area -fire calf stat dtics_�; had sharp increase- in '89 Calls answered by the Wingham Area Fire Department during 1988 increased significantly over 1987 calls, members of the Wingham and Area Fire Board were told at the board's regular January meeting. In his monthly report to the board, Fire Chief Harley Gaunt said the` department had answered total of 95 calls 'm 1988 which iiivali/ed a total of 173 hours in equipment use and manpower. Iri an interview later, Mr. Gaunt said the same statistics for 1987 show a total of 70 calls involving 115 hours. On the basis of calls alone, this year's 95 represent an increase of 35.7 per cent over 1987. In 1986, the department responded to a total of 75 calls involving 94 hours. Of the five member municipalities of the fire board, Turnberry Township recorded the greatest number, of fire calls blast -"year, 30 resulting ,m a total of 48 hours.

Six fire calls in East Wawanosh Township totalled 10 hours in 1988, Mr. Gaunt said. Also included in the overall total are three -,mutual aid calls for three s hourand two motor vehicle assistance calls for two hours. Board leases back vehicle In a move which it considers to be fiscally sound, the Winghain Area Fire. Board last week agreed to lease a vehicle from Fire Chief Harley Gaunt. The vehicle is to be used by Mr. Gaunt in his duties as full-time chief of the Wingham Area Fire Department. At its regular January meeting, the board and Mr. Gaunt agreed to the $350 monthly rate for a three- year lease. The matter of acquiring a vehicle for the chief has been before the board since last year when the full - Cane chief was hired. Several options were considered before it was decided at the Decem- berr meeting to call tenders for the purchase or lease of a new vehicle. At last week's meeting, four such tenders were opened — averaging about $17,000 to purchase and about $400 to lease. Initially, Mr. Gaunt's offer called for him to. PurcbasePa new, yehicle of similar spenlffeatiOns and _ lease it back ._,to' the board for $350 plus mileage. Following a short discussion,/lie board countered with an offer — a $350 flat, fee' 'monthly, but with the board paying the costa insilrame — which Mr:,Gaurit accepted'. - The board will -also pay for a light bar and lettering for the vehicle.
