The Citizen, 2007-11-29, Page 24PAGE 24. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2007. In a giving mood The students at East Wawanosh Public School certainly were in a giving mood last week as they collected 233 items for the local food bank throughout the whole school. Special mention certainly goes to Sydney Elder’s Grade 6/7 class, who accounted for 131 of those items. Elder ran an incentive that she used last year as well. She told her class that she would match their donations up to $100. They met and exceeded the target, and in addition to the 233 school- wide items, Elder wrote out the $100 cheque for the food bank.

(Shawn Loughlin photo) Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh council has heard back from the Ministry of the Environment regarding the Draft Noise Findings workshop attended by councillors Barry Millian and Carl Sloetjes in October. During the session, Dr. Ramakrishnan, an associate professor specializing in acoustical modeling, noise control, architectural acoustics and aero- acoustics at Ryerson University provided an overview of his study of the report done by Fritz van den Burg concerning noise generated by wind turbines. After the October session, council was informed that a final release concerning the report and study would be available in early December. “Sounds like early December. andif we have any further questions,we’re to give them a call,” said VanDiepenbeek. “I’m going to suggest that we sit down with our planners and go over the draft zoning bylaws, so that we can make sure that everything is ready to go. A meeting with county planners Scott Tousaw and Monica Walker- Bolton is tentatively scheduled to take place Monday, Nov. 27 at 7:30 p.m. “I’d like to review the whole draft bylaw,” said Van Diepenbeek. “So that when we’re ready to adopt the wind portion, we’ll have everything ready– there will be no hiccups.” After questioning by those in attendance during open forum, Millian said, “it’s been 15 months since we’ve been trying to do something. We realize that something needs to be done.” Business Directory LEE'S SERVICE CENTRE Repairs to all makes & models of cars & trucks Air Conditioning • Car Oiling • Snow Removal 348 Dinsley St., Blyth, Ontario CHRIS LEE: Phone: Bus. 519-523-9151 Mon.- Fri.8 am - 5:30 pm; Sat.8 am - 12 noon D & J CONSTRUCTION Jim McDonald 519-887-9607 - COMPLETE MECHANICAL SERVICE - COMPUTERIZED TUNE-UPS - TIRES - BRAKES MUFFLERS - VEHICLE INSPECTION STATION DAN'S AUTO REPAIR Owned and Operated by Dan & Heather Snell RR 3, Blyth, Ont.

Council had asked Bluewater Recycling Association for a quote to continue the urban-only pick-up as well as to extend it to rural areas. The proposed rates would be $68.65 per household for urban householders (who pay the cost themselves). If everyone was included in the service it would be $91.77 per household for weekly pick-up or $64.14 for bi-weekly pick-up. Councillors decided to wait to see if residents indicated in their completed surveys whether they wanted roadside pick-up before deciding to extend the service.
