CONFERENCE/ FROM PAGE ONE
Groups were concerned about how the
public sees their activities or whether the
public knows they exist. Lawn bowling needs
to be promoted as a young peoples sport,
said Tom Phillips. Both young groups like the
Junior Farmers and older ones like the Happy •
Citizens suffer from stereotyped images,
representatives reported.
Sometimes service clubs don't know that. ,
for example, one sport for kids needs money.
And sometimes people are waiting to be
asked to join or volunteer, suggested Bill
Henderson of the Optimist Club. Just like
town people might not • know they are
welcome to. get involvedin the Agricultural
- Society's fail -fair; - _ .. --
Other concerns included the need for a
regularly updated brochure listing all recrea-
tion and other programs in town; how to
organize an active arena booster cl ab; hockey
being' played on Sunday mornings; a
community -wide Christmas drive for the
needy; encouraging a town band; the
possibility that the middle-aged are neglect-
ed in recreation programs and criticism of the
design of the showers in dressing rooms at
the new arena.
AHEAD YEARS
Every participant who spoke had good
words for the conference. "This meeting has
put us ahead two or three years instead of
back." said Jim Watson of the Legion. "1
gained a lot of understanding of what the
other groups are for." said Beatrice Storey of
the Senior Citizens. "it's terrific."

"We can start to Work as a unit now instead
of as individual., groups," Junior Farmer
Steve Steinman said.
A recreation conference is "like a mini -
United Nations." sited Sib'•Miller. "It can
work in town too.
COMMITMENT
Every one of the common problems
identified can be corrected, Bryan Peter told
those who attended. 'It needs a, commitment
from you people.. -.What does the publc
want? It's up ,to us Ind you to find Out." °

amount of mental and physical decline that
comes with age can be controlled by activity,
he said. "Use it or lose it."

"We asked two years ago to be kept

needed to be that way." said Mrs.
Govenloek.
"We didn't know it was going to be the

engineers in March and location of the site
was still in the air. We were told the site could
still be turned down. We were very much tri

we still weren't sure about the site until the
final tests had been completed."

Feedloto erations in Huron`County are` • t}Itrown back between (fe eral' ag mlmster
' losing 5100'to 5150 on'every cattle beast they
sell, and "anybody who derives all their
income from beef is in trouble," says Bill
Coleman, Kippen president of the Huron
Cattlemen's Association.
A typical feedlot operator bought feeder
cattle last spring at 85 cents a pound; put 300
pounds on the beasts at a cost of 80 cents a
pound and now "selling today you'd be
fortunate to get 72 cents," he says.
"It makes you wonder where the beef
producers in Ontario are going to go," says
Mr. Coleman, who feeds around 200 head of
cattle in a mixed farming operation with his
son. "We can accept the ups and downs on
the market, but we can't buy feeders back for
less than 80 or 81 cents."
Part of the answer, Huron Cattlemen feel.
is a Canada -wide voluntary three-part
stabilization program. The program, pro-
posed by the Canadian Cattlemen, would
have the fanner• the province and the federal
government each contribute to a fund. "it
would be like crop insurance, you'd have the
option of buying in or not."
Well known to be independent, most beef
we never have to do this," he said.
SAFETY
Concerned with ,increased traffic and
safety of children waiting for school buses.
Mrs. Vanden Hengel was told the vehicle
count wouldn't increase dramatically, ap-
proximately three pet cent once the dump is
in operation. "Much of the garbage will be
trucked in," said Mr. Siemon,
"i've noticed nobody at the present
Seaforth dump to look after it. Will this dump
be run properly?" asked Mrs. Vanden
Henget. '
"After what we're going through, f
certainly hope to," said reeve Marie
Hicknell. "Council is not trying to pull the
wool over the; eyes of the ratepayers. We
don't want to hurt any neighbors."
REPORT/ FROM PAGE ONE
expressed at a series of meetings are
summarized as water contamination; di-
sease; air pollution; visual clutter; noise;
additional traffic; separation distance be-
tween the site and area residences and
depreciation of land values.
A study by Associated Realty Consultants
concludes it can't say for sure how much or
if property values will be hurt by a landfill
site in the neighborhood. The existing
gravel pit, two nearby hog operations and
the current weak real estate market "cloud
any issue of what impacts are causing what
(if any) value loss."
The report documents how a preliminary
design for the pt lot 24, con. 4 site was
developed, taking into account input from
government agencies. As well the engi-
neers record hydrogeological and archeo-
logical assessments (a small pre -historic
site, perhaps a winter campsite occupied for
a season at least 3000 years ago was found).
the area's biology and the land value
concerns. Maps site the waste disposal area
within the land that has been purchased and
contours: buffer zones; slopes; berms and
tree screens are all noted.
FIND TILLS
Plans are to preserve existing fencelines
and bush areas and have an onsite meeting
with neighbors to establish buried tile
locations. Opting for access from co
road 12, the engineers recommend full
producers would be happy without any
stabilization plan," Mr. Coleman says. "it's
the unequal part we object to."

With that help, Quebec farmets -for
example, can afford to pay more for feeders
and establish the price. "it should be
Canada -wide stabilization or nothing," the
Huron Cattlemen's president says.
. Huron Middlesex MPP Jack Riddell has
been asking Queen's Park for action to aid
beef' producers. Huron Cattlemen have
written Mr. Whelan, asking him to deal with
the beef stabilization proposal now. They've
had no reply, except from NDP agricultural
critic Mel Swart who got a copy.
The Kippen area farmer says his own
operation isn't in serious trouble because it's
diversified. He'd hate to get out of beef
because "it's been part of our farm for
years." Others aren't as fortunate and he
says anyone who built new slatted floor
barns, touted as the modern way to raise
cattle, hasn't had enough return to make
interest payments.
Meanwhile he and 265 members of the
Huron Cattlemen's Association wait for some
action. "Without it, all we can do is hope (the
price) goes up by the tirpe we come to sell."

length tensing tor both sides of, the lane,
dust control on the lane and a waste
container at the intersection of the highway
and the access road. Screening will be
provided to limit the site's visibility but so
that it doesn't use up too much agricultural
land, the tree screen will be kept to within
eight metres of the waste area.
The municipal committee responsible for
the site will visit it at leastfour times a year
to make sure it's operating properly.
Processing techniques which would reduce
waste volumes will also be considered, the
engineers say. Compaction and _controlled
burning will be used and shredding/milling
"could be evaluated further at some point in
the future."
The study outlines 29 sites considered
before the McKillop land was selected and
looks at the "three best sites" in some
detail.
Engineers looked at separation and
incineration as an alternative to landfill but
concluded that its disadvantages outweigh-
ed benefits. Cost, the report says, would be
202 per cent more than developing a new
landfill. A new landfill, although only a
third the size, would still be needed to take
wastes after incineration- The incineration
wastes would have "negative impacts to
local air quality."
The report is still available on loan at
municipl offices and the Seaforth Library.
