Kootstra site passes tests
Preliminary test results on the number one
site under consideration for a location of a
new Seaforth-Tuckersmith landfill site have
been favorable and the landfill site committee
has announced approval for phase two of the
testing to begin.
The testing, which involved boring holes to
examine soil and determine the technical
acceptability of the site for landfilling
purposes, proved "favorable enough to
proceed with phase two," said Seaforth Chief
Administrator Jim Crocker.
The first stage of the testing cost the
municipalities approximately $15,000, with
phase two costs estimated at another
$25,000. The committee opted to do the
testing in two phases, in order to give them
the option of abandoning the site if tests
proved it unsuitable after the first phase,
thereby saving the cost of second phase
testing. Complete testing of the site was
initially estimated to cost $40,000 to $50,000,
said Mr. Crocker.
The Kootstra site was ranked number one
of nine sites in Tuckersniith Township, based
on criteria established by the landfill
committee in conjunction with the Ministry of
Environment.
Public health, safety, social environment,
natural environment, cultural environnment,
availability and site size make up the criteria
for judging site acceptability.
The committee is expected to accept a
recommendation to add another member tb
the landfill Conunittee, Mr. Crocker an-
nounced. After meeting with a group of
residents who live near the proposed site, he
said, it was deemed advisable to appoint a
member of the resident group to the
committee, which would then include two
Hisstcrricai i3ctointy
members each from Seaforth and nicker-
smith
uckersmith councils, one resident of Seaforth and
two from Tuckersmith.
Dick Roorda, of Tuckersmith will be the
new member.

Pyramid scam arrives here
Seaforth police are warning people not to
get involved ori a pyramid scheme that has
moved into the area. Pyramid selling is a
criminal offence.
The scheme centres around a "pilot" who
is selling "plane rides to prosperity." In
order to ride the "plane" you have to pay
$2200 and then find twomore people to ride
your "plane."
Police Chief Hal Claus says a lot of people
in this area could lose a lot of money unless
they realize how futile the scheme is.
For the scheme to work, Chief Claus says,'
you have to keep selling. "You have to get
eight people on your `plane' to pay you $2200
and then you become captain and make Chief Martin 'said originally there were
$17,000." inquiries to police in Ustowel about the
schemes but there have been no complaints.
The Listowel Police and the O.P.P. are
investigating the pyramid scheme which they

scheme like this,"
There would be a lot of losers in this area,
Chief Claus says. The population is limited so
unlimited selling is impossible.
Sick people tended to during job action
The closure of local dp tors' offices last
Thursday and Friday, as;part of a province
wide interruption of servibes by members of
the Ontario Medical Association, went
smoothly as patients were accommodated at
the Seaforth Community Hospital, said
Gordon MacKenzie,, hospital administrator.
Hospital staff and 'doctors on duty were
"busy all day," both days, but generally "it
went well," Mr. MacKenzie said.
"The doctors were very co-operative," he
said, adding that he received no complaints
from patients.
Dr. Ken Rodney, of Seaforth said that "all
sick people were looked after, though one
man who came in without an appointment for
a physical examination for his driver's license
was told he would have to book an
appointment through the Seaforth Medical
hars."
"I do 'not think we really inconvenienced
any patients," said Dr. Rodney.
Dr. Rodney was non -committal about the
success of the protest, but said It went
according to plan.

was dramatic enough to make an impact or
