The nomination meeting was held on October 5 in Stratford with three candidates vying for the position. Johnson, 55, has been a resi- dent of Listowel for the past 24 years. He has been mayor of Lis- towel since 1988 and is also an insurance and real estate bro- ker, it was reported in the Lis- towel Banner. St. Marys approves tipping fees ST. MARYS - Next year, town industries will no longer have carte blanche at the landfill site. Last Tuesday, council passed a motion to introduce graduated tipping fees at the site starting in June 1995. At that time business and in- dustry will pay $4 per cubic yard for waste. By 1996, they will pay S5 and that figure will increase to/$6 by 1997, it was reported in the Journal Argus. Originally council was look- ing at hiking the fee to $8 per cubic yard starting in January 1995, but councillor Kerry Campbell was able to have that proposal set aside saying the fee would prove too much of a hardship for industry. Transit service proposal progressing SEAFORTH - A meeting was held two weeks ago in Seaforth to update local townships on the plan to establish the Central Huron Mobility Service pro- gram. More than 200 residents have registered to use the service which is expected to operate five days a week. The CHuMS organization is hoping to raise $45,000 to pur- chase a low -floor bus for seniors and others that have difficulty getting around. As of last Thursday, $30,000 had been raised. In addition, the MTO will be kicking in $45,000 for the bus, it was reported in the Huron Expositor. Organizers are now waiting to hear from the local townships on their decision to be part of the program. Planning for Wingham airport continues BLUEVALE - A public meet- ing two weeks ago in Bluevale addressed some of the concerns of residents living near the pro- posed site for Wingham's new municipal airport. Although reactioq to the pro- posal was generally positive there were a number of conerns including the problem of noise from the airport. Brad Pryde, an engineer work- ing on the proposal said a "noise blueprint" indicates that noise generated by planes taking off and landing would be no worst than the sound of large traffic volumes heard in the summer, it was reported in the Wingham Advance Times.

Grand Bend may take over Southcott roads The subidivision has asked the village to help with maintenance GRAND BEND - Southcott Pines, a luxury subdivision now within the boundaries of Grand Bend, have approached council asking them if they would be inter- ested in road maintenance. Monday night, council was in- formed that for the past few years, members of the Southcott Pines As- sociation has been coming to vil- lage administration asking for help with their roads. "No one was sure which roads (in the subdivision) were public and which ones weren't," said deputy - mayor Cam Ivey. Council couldn't make any de- cision on what to do because mayor Tom Lawson and councillor Phil Maguire had a conflict of interest and councillor Bill Uniac was ab- sent. "The Southcott Pines Association would like to enter into an agree- ment with the village," said Ivey. He said that the Association em- ployee who now looks after the roads would simply become an agent working on behalf of Grand Bend. "It's the same arrangement they have with Bosanquet," said Ivey. One of the roads in the sub- division, Lakeview have a one -foot reserve on both sides and the own- ership of this would, if an agree- ment is reached, come to the vil- lage. If there is ever redevelopment, we can't have a third party con- trolling access to a public road," said Ivey. Correction In last week's issue, Elaine Hayter of the Friedsburg Days committee was quoted as saying that the Dash- wood Community Centre "would be disintegrating" if not for Friedsburg Days contributions. Hayter says it was not her inten- tion for Friedsburg Days to take full credit for the upkeep of the hall, and she does recognize the work of the Community Centre Board in main- taining the building. Friedsburg Days makes contributing funds to the board a priority, she added. Also the article omitted the name of the South Huron District High School student selected by the Friedsburg Days committee for its first Community Spirit Award. This year's recipient was Melinda Nether- cott.
