No quorum tor last month's local landfill meeting
BY DAVID SCOTT'
Expositor Editor
1t will either cost the Mid -
Huron Landfill $6,000 to
hold a household hazardous
waste day, or $35,000 to con-
struct a permanent building
to house hazardous waste at
the site near Holmesville.
The decision on which
option is more favourable
was not made at the August
21 meeting because there
wasn't a quorum. Reports
were read but no motions
could be passed.
Supervisor's Report
Landfill supervisor Frank
Postill gave his report for the
past two months. (There was
no July meeting of the
MHLSB). Spots around the
pond at the site have been
filled in and seeded. "The
grass is coming up." said
Pt still. Catch basins were
placed in the three culverts
going into the pond.
The south side of the land-
fill has been graded. "We
might have it seeded this
year." he said.
Haaardous Waste .
Information from Kon
Hunter, .commissioner of
works for Goderich, was con-
tained in the monthly report
regarding holding a
"Hazardous Waste Day" at
the site. Both Bluewater
Recycling and Laidlaw
Environmental were contact-
ed in regards tq this, as well
as Minto Township, which
has a household hazardous
.depot at its landfill site which
cost $35,000 to construct.
Francis Veilleux, general
manager of Bluewater
Recycling, which services
Huron County, .told Hunter
that Bluewater is no longer
having household. hazardous
waste days.
"The reason for this is that
Lampton County is now pro-
viding terminals to dispose of
this material and the
Lambton County members
did not feel it was fair to have
to fund this service twice (for
other counties)," states
Hunter's memo to the board.
Both Clinton and Goderich
have hosted hazardous waste

"If you added both of them

Hunter.

To Catch a Dream
FROM 1988, when they first skated at
the Calgary Olympics, to their medal -
winning performance in Lillehammer six
years later, Isabelle Brasseur and Lloyd
Eisler have become two of the brightest
stars the skating world has to offer.
In their autobiography, Brasseur and
Eisler show us the heights and lows of
their glittering amateur career.
But, more than anything else, they
reveal how their indomitable will and
support of each other -enabled them to
catch a dream.
