Listowel
mayor wins
provincial
nomination
LISTOWEL - Winning on the
first ballet, Bert Johnson the
mayor of Listowel is the new
Progressive Conservative candi-
date for the riding of Perth.
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.
Here's how your ballot will look November 14
Many candidates waited until the last minute to register and withdraw

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.
The Times -Advocate regrets the
omission.
