"A great deal of time was spent on the draft bylaw, and it is one that will stand strong in the courts. I know it's not the bylaw some would like to see - completely forbidding earthen manure storage, but it is a safe bylaw," said Reeve Haberer. Hullet TownshipReeve Tom Cunningham, a member of the special committee, said he had "great reservations" about allowing earthen manure pits, but he saw the bylaw as a good one. He was con. cerned about increasing the distances, though. "It will be more trouble in my opinion anyway, in standing up in court," said Reeve Cunningham. Stanley Township Reeve Paul Steckle echoed Reeve Cunningham's comments n saidwhile the bylaw isn't perfect, ' "It will serve us well." ' He said - Attention from other counties and regions in the province is being focused on Huron's bylaw and there is a need to have it adopted at the local levels. But the bylaw doesn't cover everything, "Management is still something we have to live with," said Reeve Steckle. Responding to Mousseau's criticism, Haberer said a bylaw prohibiting earthen 'r_ , : ..;i pits might not stand upin "There's no point in having a bylaw if it can't defend itself," said Haberer. Steckle added his township has a bylaw similar to Hay's, and he's not sure it could defend itself in court. He explained that is why the committee took so long to prepare the bylaw (the committee was formed last fall), because under the Municipal Act, council can only "regulate" the location, erection and use of manure pits, not outlaw them. "I want to commend the special committee for the bylaw," said Grey Township Reeve Leona Armstrong. "You all know it is of great concern in Grey Township." Armstrong said Grey Township is monitoring the • RADIO HAMS GATHER — As a test of their preparedness for emergency opera- tion and as a competition to contact as many stations as possible in 24 hours, members of the South Huron Amateur Radio Club gathered at the Tuckersmith Township farm of Ted Roberts to set up their equipment. Shown are: (from left) Clark Forrest, Ted Roberts and Don Reynolds. The club made almost 500 contacts over the weekend with stations across North America. • Teachers get .11% 'Bike The 1982-83 collective agreement for Huron elementary school teachers represents an average 11 percent salary increase. The ' agreement • was ratified by the 360 teachers on June 24 and the board ratified the agreement on Monday, June 28. The only changes made from the 1981- 82 agreement were on the teachers' salarygrid and an' additional $5,000 for professional development funds. The fund now in- creases to $65,000. The average elementary school teacher in Huron has a university degree and eight years of teaching experience and under the new agreement shall earn $31,800. This is up from the 1981-82 average- salary of $27,690. , Teachers with minimum qualifications will have their -salary increased from $13,900 to $15,460, while the most qualified teacher with 10 . years of teaching ex- perience will have . their salary increased from 536,000 to $40,050. • While principals, vice - 'principals, and co-ordinators will receive a basic salary increase, there will be no increase 'in their respon- sibility allowance.

Cunningham told Reeve Mousseau the committee had no legislate alternative but to just regulate liquid manure storage. The bylaw is one he has to grudgingly accept. "I would like to legislate earthen pits out of existence, but it is impossible to do this. I don't like some aspects of the bylaw, but it is a good bylaw," said Cunningham. Planning department employee Roman Dzus clarified a few points for council saying the com- mittee was restricted in its task by legislation. He also said the bylaw has to be enacted and enforced by individual municipalities. Each municipality can in- crease or decrease the standards set by the bylaw. Dzus said standards for earthen pits are tougher in the bylaw in an attempt to keep land, water and air pollution at an acceptable level. Hay Deputy Reeve Lionel' Wilder said he couldn't support the bylaw. `Hay's bylaw is working well he said, and to approve the county's model bylaw would be a step backward for Hay. "I don't think council has read it thoroughly, the regulations are tough," said Haberer. He doesn't anticipate a flood of applications and he added there is a stiff penalty if the bylaw is violated. Any conviction against violater(s) of the bylaw will mean a maximum fine of $1,000 or six months in jail. Morris Township Reeve William Elston also sat on the special committee and said it was the worst one he has ever sat on since coming to county council in 1968 because of all the phone calls, etc. He commented the bylaw is something the county shouldn't have to do, but for technology in- troducing liquid manure storage. "One of the worries I have, is how are we going to manage these things," said Elston. "We don't know if it (liquid manure) is going into streams or ditches until we get a call." "I have studied the bylaw and it is good, said Goderich Township ..Reeve Grant Stirling. "There's no bylaw in Goderich Township and it will be better than what we have." As his last comment, Reeve Mousseau asked for a recorded vote. Those voting in favor, were Goderich Deputy Reeve Robert Allen, Reeve Armstrong, Colborne Township, Reeve William Bogie, Clinton Reeve Ernest Brown, Blyth Reeve Tom Cronin, Reeve Cun- ningham, Seaforth Reeve William Dale, Reeve Elston, Reeve Haberer, Wingham Reeve Joe Kerr, Brussels Reeve Calvin -Krauter, Turnberry Township Reeve Brian McBurney, Warden Harold Robinson, Stephen Township Reeve Douglas Russell, Reeve Steckle, Reeve Stirling, Goderich Reeve Don Wheeler (two votes), Ashfield Township Reeve Warren Zinn. Those voting against approving the bylaw were Tuckersmith Township Reeve Robert Bell, McKillop Township Reeve Harvey Craig, 'Usborne Township Reeve Murray Dawson, West Wawanosh Reeve J.D. Durnin, Bayfield Reeve George Fellows, East Awaanosh Township Reeve Simon Hallahan, Exeter Reeve Donald MacGreogr, Reeve Mousseau, Hensall Redeye Paul Neilands, Stephen Deputy Reeve Man Walper, and Deputy Reeve Wilder. The bylaw will now be circulated to individual municipalities. Feelings of anxiety decline with age.
