Ashfield ..township not
on waste site hit list
The head of the Ontario
Waste Management Corp.
assured Ashfield Township
residents Thursday night
their community is not on
any "hit list" as a prime site
for a major industrial waste
treatment facility.
Corporation president
‘.Donald Chant told about 250
persons at a special meeting
held in Lucknow he was
astonished to learn there had
been so much concern in the
township that the waste
facility might be located in
Ashfield.
Chant, who had been in-
vited to speak by the
federation of agriculture,
said there was no list of
prime sites for the dump and
that it could be several
months before a review of
possible locations is com-
pleted.
'"there is no hit list and
you're on no hit list," he told
the crowd. "We don't have a
list."
An eight -man local
committee was formed last
year to fight any plan by the
province to build the liquid Repairs to two bridges in

said the main concern is that
"we do the job right this
time. And that means our
eyes Are not on any single

The corporation decided in
November to scrap the
government proposal to
build a $60 -million facility
near South Cayuga on land
which critics described as
"ludicrous," "criminally
negligent" and "crass
political expediency."
The corporation said the
government-owned land,
purchased in 1974 as a part of
a massive land -banking
scheme, was only

an installation because
underground geological
formations would allow the
waste to seep into the area's
water table.
The South Cayuga site also
was a stone's throw from the
Grand River, a fact which
also enraged opposition
critics.
Chant said he did not
blame South Cayuga
residents for the position
they expressed to him
personally. "I was there so
they yelled at me."
He said, however, that he
would hope citizens will be
told in advance and will be
allowed to participate in
studies and public hearings
when a new site for the waste
disposal facility is chosen
later this year.

Teachers question barga►n►ngfaith of schod board
District 45 of the Ontario
Secondary School Teachers'
Federation is checking with
its lawyer to see if the Huron
Board of Education has
bargained in bad faith.
The board has, in per-
sonnel committee chairman
R. J. Elliott's opinion, "in an
attempt to show good faith"
implemented an October
1981 fact finder's report and
items previously agreed to
by the board and the local
OSSTF.
Both sides maintain
negotiations on the 1981/82
contract will continue, but
no date has been set for such
a meeting.

Shirley Wearie of Seaforth

Both Mr. Gryseels and

on the hardship to the

since the settlement of the

said the board last fall rais-

Garbage pickups as usual
Exeter is one of the few
area communities to handle
its own garbage collection,
and that's the way it will
stay until it is found that a
better method may be
available.
Last week, council receiv-
ed a survey conducted by
sanitation committee chair-
man Tom Humphreys outlin-
ing the cost of garbage
collection and a. recommen-
dation from the committee
that the present method of
garbage pickup be con-
tinued.
However, Councillor Bill
Mickle questioned whether
all the costs were included in
the survey. and when he was
told that equipment
depreciation was not con-
sidered, he suggested the
matter required further
study.
Council approved the mo-
tion to carry on•as in the
past. but amended it to leave
'he door open for a change if
a better method is found.
The survey conducted by
Humphreys showed that Ex-
eter paid 834,056 for garbage
collection in 1981, or 19.29
per capita.
Figures per capita in other
communities where garbage
collection is handled by
private contractors were as
follows: Clinton 17.68 per
capita. Goderich 89.85.
Wingham 19.27, Lucan
821.25. St. Marys 18.45 and
Mitchell 15.63.
In the case of Lucan, it
was found that the contrac-
tor also provides the dum-
ping facilities, while they
are municipally owned in
most other centres.
_ Mickle suggested that Ex-
eter's per capita cost could
be closer to 112.50 if equip-
ment depreciation was in-
cluded in the figures sub-
mitted by the committee.
Humphreys indicated he
would take another look at•
the survey and try to get a
more accurate cost to in-
clude all facets of the ser-
vice provided.

said he had only received
"positive feedback".
"Information I Gave
