Challenge: Finding the time to be active
for sixty minutes per day
Solution: Spread physical activity throughout your daily routine to work up to 60
minutes. As you progress to more intense exercise you can cut back to 30 minutes
4 times per week. Get stetted by:
• Walking for 10 minutes several times a day - walk instead of taking the car to
the store, or mailbox, slip out for a walk at lunchtime, or join a friend for a morning
or evening walk.
• Walking briskly, jogging, cycling, swimming, skipping or dancing for 20
-minutes or more.
• Substituting an activity break for a coffee break - bend, stretch, and flex to
keep your muscles relaxed and joints mobile for 10 minutes at a time. You can do
this at home, at work or out in the great outdoors.
• Trying 10 minutes of muscle strengthening or weight resistance activities such
as situps, push-ups or weights while you watch TV or before going to bed.
• Taking a break and play actively with your kids for 10 minutes or more.

County wants waste management funds in budget
By Keith Roulston
Citizen publisher
Money for engineering and moni-
toring for landfill sites in the county
should be included in the 2005
Huron County budget, members of
the health and planning committee
recommended to county council at
its Nov. 24 meeting.
The recommendation came after a
By Keith Roulston

Huron County's management plan
for its county-owned woodlots has-
n't even been drafted yet, but already
councillors are debating who should
get the money from trees harvested.
After being asked by South Huron
councillor Dave Urlin about the
progress of the forest management
plan, county engineer Don Pletch
said Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority will soon submit a propos-
al for a management plan for the
county forests.
That prompted Bernie MacLellan
of Huron East to wonder how the
money from the harvesting of trees
would be spent.
Pletch warned that only a couple
of the woodlots had substantial hard-
Wood timber to be harvested and he
would recommend the money go
back into a fund for future manage-
ment of the woodlots such as the
report to the committee on Nov. 9 by
Steve Janes, the county's waste man-
agement consultant on Huron's
waste management strategy of opti-
mizing the existing landfills in the
county.
The Mid-Huron landfill site in
Holmesville has about six years'
capacity left and Goderich, Huron
East and Central Huron have indicat-
ed they'd like to enter an agreement
with South Huron for use of the
development of trails.
"There won't be huge dollars
rolling out," Pletch said.
Ben Van Diepenbeek of Ashfield-
Colborne-Wawanosh, a member of
the MVCA's "terrestrial team" said
MVCA has suggested one woodlot
might yield $80,000 to $90,000.
Exeter landfill. The other users,
B I uewater, Ashfield-Colborne-
Wawanosh and Lucknoware expect-
ing to utilize other landfills in their
own municipalities.
The county has been assisting
South Huron with an application for
expansion of its landfill site.
Similarly the county has been sup-
porting a technical investigation of
the southerly portion of municipally-
owned lands adjacent to the
But MacLellan recalled a sugges-
tion during a bus tour of the county
woodlots that there would be hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars flowing
from harvesting of mature timber.
"It's hard to believe all the money
would have to go back into the
woodlots," he said.
Wingham landfill which has proven
positive, opening the way for an
application to the Ministry of
Environment for expansion of that
site. North Huron is continuing to
develop a long-term plan for the site.
Meanwhile the Morris landfill still
has more than 50 years' capacity to
handle waste from Morris and
Brussels. Howick also has an esti-
mated 50 years capacity.
Warden Bill Dowson said there are
new expenses required such as refor-
estation, noting Huron County is
sadly lacking in forest cover.
