The committee also .drafted six recommendations for the. county Planning and Development Com- mittee: • 1. Resident property owners should be asked the same questions regard- ing usage of their property as the • non-resident property owners. 2. All questions being asked should be pertinent to the issue -- all the impacts on this specific proposed landfill site including those listed in Huron County Waste Management Master Plan Mitigation Policies .::adopted by county council January 10, 1991, and especially: transfer station locations, transfer routes, and hours of operation should be identified; types of delivery vehi- cles and on-site equipment and their noise emission levels should ' be stated; final visual appearance of this specific landfill site should .be clarified (height above grade, land- scaping, security fencing, signage). 3. The questions should address ell of the known adverse impacts as listed from the residents of existing landfill sites (see attached partial list of suggested subjects). Full dis- closure of all information should be made to the public as promised. in the Mitigation Policies of Jan.10, 1991 (which should be attached to the surveys) 4. All survey questions should be provided in advance with a reason- able amount of time (one month) allowed for the group to peruse the questions before the individuals an- swer the survey. 5. Telephone surveys for anyone (inner of outer vicinity residents and property owners and tenants) are absolutely unacceptable. - 6: Questionnaires for resident and non-resident property owners and tenants should include those resid- ing within the immediate impact area as suggested by us. A second simpler questionnaire should be provided for all those residing or owning property within the outer impact area, omitting non -pertinent questions and adding appropriate questions. "It is our opinion, and the con- sensus of those in attendance at the meeting, that until all of these con- cerns are fully addressed in com- plete and competent questionnaires, none of the property owners, resi- dents or tenants can reasonably re- spond .to the Social Impacts Sur- vey," VanDyke said. She also submitted a petition of 215 signa- tures against the county process in siting the landfill in Ashfield Twp: Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle ques- tioned how the county would be re- sponding to the concerns of the CCAA. Gary Davidson, County Planning and Development Direc- tor, said the county already pro- vides information to the CCAA upon request. In terms of other as- pects of the CCAA presentation, Dr. Davidson said some will re - Ike with Doug Avery Well I guess it's that time of year, my wife has a nasty cold...wait a second there's a slight tickle in my throat. Oh No! Quick, give me the vitamin C. Okay, good, two handfulls of those should help. Now where is that heat rub, gotta get some of that on my neck and chest. You know, I overheard someone say you should wrap a woll sock around your throat. Boy, does this look stupid. We're out of that hot drink stuff. I better run into town and get some. Boy, people sure did look at me funny. You'd think they had never seen anybody with a wool sock around his neck before. Anyway, I also picked up seem of those time re- lease capsules. I'II just pop a couple of those, throw the extra comforter on the bed and I should head this nasty little bug off. (12 hours later) Sniff, sniff. It didn't worg, sniff.

The county recommended that since the Stage 2D contract does not contain the funds necessary to permit the consultants. to properly respond to the'questions, the "pru- dent" decision would be to wait un- til the issue'of participant funding has been decided. The discussion turned to alterna- `Family' falling. apart is Canada It always saddens nye when I hear of friends who have ei, ther separated, or. have just filed for.a divorce. We all know that how relation- ships Start is not how they contin- ue through life, and that we must realize the highs and lows and struggles through them as best we can. ' We should always remember that all relationships go through ebbs and tides, and couples that work at their relationship will move+through the low points and be stronger because of it. Qui country as .a whole needs to re- member that lesson as, well. We are at the point right now where we either kiss and make up, or we call the lawyers. In a way, as Canadians, we are all married, and each and every one of us belongs to this one huge group called a nation. When one person, or in this case a province, tries to rule the roost we are all af- fected by it. If you think that it doesn't af- fect each of us then tell me why has our Canadian dollar taken a huge fall over the past few years? Why are our interest rates higher in Canada than in the .United In My Opinion Bruce MORGAN States? I think the answer is very easy. If you looked at a family that was in the process of falling apart would you think it was a strong family; one that was able to take;' care•of.itself? I don't think so. F feel strongly about the separa- tion issues in Quebec. You see, I was born in Montreal and still have family living there. I feel even stronger about a country that is well respected around the world. When they talk abodt us in other countries, they're not talk- ing labout 10 provinces and two territories. They are talking about the whole nation. The vote to either stay together or go our separate ways will take place at month's end. I hope that we as Canadians realize 'what we have to lose. Our family is at the• brink of divorce and hopefully wise thinking will prevail.
