The Citizen, 1995-11-08, Page 17When buttoning is difficult (NC)—If you have difficulty doing up buttons, but like the look of a buttoned shirt, here's an idea: Sew up the button holes and sew the buttons over the sewn up holes. Then apply velcro to the inside of the shirt so that it opens and closes easily. A 0 T Don't forget the cuffs!

Reeve Bailey said that while he didn't make a practice of opening remarks at meetings, he felt this was a good opportunity to credit councillors for their co-operation and positive approach to settling issues. Bluewater makes proposal to county The president of the Bluewater Recycling Association will speak to the Huron County Planning and Development Committee Nov. 14 about the group's plan for a recy- cling plant to handle the entire garbage output of municipalities. Craig Metzger, waste manage- ment masterplan co-ordinator announced at the Nov. 2 county council meeting that Bluewater would present its plan to the com- mittee charged with finding a solu- tion to the garbage mess. He was responding to a presentation by Rob McQueen of the Concerned Citizens of Ashfield and Area (CCAA), opponents of a plan to put a Huron County landfill site in Ashfield, who has pushed county council to thoroughly explore this alternative. McQueen said that the Bluewater plan would eliminate the need for a landfill in Huron. Bluewater, he said, will recover 75 per cent of the waste stream leaving only 25 per cent for disposal. CCAA promotes the idea of incineration to get rid of the non-recycled remainder. But not all councillors were thrilled with the Bluewater plan. "I'm willing to listen to the Bluewa- ter proposal but I'm not sure the answer is sending our garbage somewhere else," said Jack Cole- man, reeve of Stanley Twp. He suggested that the 25 per cent left after sorting was likely to go to landfills elsewhere in Ontario or in Michigan. Bill Weber, reeve of Stephen Twp. was also cautious about the plan. "We weren't willing to take the garbage from others," he said. Bluewater still hasn't made arrangements with its landlord, the local municipality or the county for the facilities needed for their pro- posal, he said. But Bill Mickle, reeve of Exeter urged councillors to keep an open mind and listen to proposals like McQueen's and Bluewater's. Things are changing quickly, he said, and "we've got to be prepared to respond to change in a positive way." He said he was proud that the vil- lage taxes were in "good shape" despite there being no (municipal) tax increase for ratepayers. Remarking on a comment made by a former councillor, following the ratepayers meeting held last November, Reeve Bailey asked the present council to consider holding an annual ratepayers' meeting as a forum for their concerns. While Councillor Robbie Lawrie said he did not oppose such a meet- ing, he wondered why it was need- ed. "The doors here are open twice a month," he said, adding that only one ratepayer was in attendance. "Would we be holding a meeting in futile? If the rest of council thinks we should hold this meeting I'm quite agreeable, but why take up extra time and money?" Councillor Doug Scrimgeour suggested the meeting be held before a regular council meeting, which met with approval, though Councillor Lawrie did add, "But if there are things that people dis- agree with why wouldn't they come here." Reeve Bailey said that if council hosts the ratepayers' meeting and Use rolled up to beat rug To line the trash can Make a kite Paper your friend's yard Clean your feet on Use as funnel for filling gas tank Make patterns for sewing 50 49 A must for silly-putty users Keep kitchen clean when transferring potted plants 51 Use for ironing ties 52 Make printer's hat people don't attend, then they have no reason to disagree with council's decisions.
