The first place winners will go on to Zone Competition to be held at Clinton Legion on Saturday, March 5. Chairman Bruce Wilbee would like to thank all the contestants, Judges and Teachers for the time spent helping and judging these young students. Julie Medd, who was a winner in the Junior Poster contest at the Zone level, also placed second in the District contest. Con- gratulations Julie for a very fine effort. The Assistant Sports chairman reports the Euchre attendance is very good with 11 tables in play last Wednesday. The nest Wednesday night euchre will be on March 2. On this Saturday February 27 there is a potluck supper at 6:30 p.m. and a mixed euchre starting at 8 p.m. These euchres in the past have been very popular. Guests are welcome at these functions. Any dart players wishing to participate in the potluck supper please feel free to do so. Darts will carry on downstairs at 8 p.m. as per usual. ' Cribbage is on Monday nights at 8 p.m. A team of bowlers, consisting of Linda Gridzak, Barbara Watson, Bob Watson, David Watson, Bob Harris and Randy Grid- zak, competed at the District bowling held in Galt last Saturday but unfortunately came away empty handed. Competition at the District level is very high, leaving smaller Branches at quite a disadvantage. But, if smaller Branches did not compete District bowling would not be worth holding.

George Levis, site operator, was unavailable for comment. Cummins was concerned about Holmesville being an open dump – with no check to see who is using it – because in- dustrial waste may have been dumped there. In a letter to Brigitte Charron, of the ratepayers group; Cummins states, "the landfill leachate was observed to be highly polluted with c tromimn and lead Th s evidence indicates that the dump contains toxic liquid industrial waste." He recommended testing in the area for a wide range of chemical pollutants in- cluding: PCBs, polyaromatic hydrocar- bons (PAHs), volatile organic chemicals and a much wider range of metals. To conclude his letter, Cummins said, 'it is safest to assume the Holmesville site contains liquid industrial waste, because the site was not controlled for a number of ears." Cummins also mentioned reports from I. D. Wilson Engineers from 1981 and 1984, showing clear evidence that the landfill site had impaired Hopkins Creek. Cummins said the 1981 report showed very high levels (about 230 parts per billion) of lead in the leachate runoff to the creek. "I am not familiar with those numbers, ut I am going to find out," said Bye. High lead levels cause mental retarda- on in children and a reduced sex drive in dult males, said Cummins. •He also recommended that the ratepayers have any additional testing one by the Ministry of the Environment rather than accept the results obtained by engineering consultants retained by the to committee. There was general agreement among e audience that because the engineers ere retained by the committee their results would favour those who hired em. "There is no reason to suspect the pro- essional integrity of cunsulting engineer- ing firms," said Bye. Often, said Bye, inistry laboratories are used by gineers to conduct their tests. Bye said some ground water testing has done that show lead and chromium vels within acceptable limits. 3, b a d si th w th en m been le heifers averaging 1138 lbs. and selling for an overall price of 89.44. Three red heifers consigned by Elwood Fitch of RR 1, Wroxeter averaging 1160 lbs. sold for 90.85 with his total lot of 48 heifers averaging 1149 lbs. selling for an average price of 86.82. Choice Cows - 60.00 to 65.00 with sales to 80.00 Good Cows - 58.00 to 62.00 Canners & Cutters - 54.00 to 58.00 20 - 30 lb. pigs traded to a high of 1.34 per lb. 30 - 40 lb. pigs traded to a high of 1.33 per lb. 40 - 50 lb. pigs traded to a high of 1.18 per lb. 50 - 60 lb. pigs traded to a high of 1.02 per lb. 60 - 70 lb. pigs traded to a high of 1.00 per lb. 70 - 80 lb. pigs traded to a high of .93 per lb. Brussels Stockyards will hold another sheep & lamb sale on Friday, March 4, at 3:00 p.m. For more information phone 887-6461. "There is no reason to believe area wells have been contaminated at this point," said Bye. Bye has been in contact with quality con- trol people and will scan for volatile ants and airborne contaminants. r technical people are aware of what of contaminants come off a waste fire a here is no reason to believe (there is ri-,W of) personal injury," he said. The committee may seek exemption from environmental assessment when they make their application, to close the site and open a new landfill, because it is an existing landfill site. Bye said the Ministry of the Environment will still have to be satisfied they are moving to an ade- quate landfill site and public hearings will be held. Goderich Township Reeve and chairman of the site selection committee, Grant Stirling, stood up at the meeting and an- nounced the date of the public meeting would be advertised in the local papers: Goderich Signal -Star, Clinton News - Record and Lucimow Sentinel. To close a landfill site it must be capped and contoured – to promote nm -off – and a leachate system installed, Said Bye. The leachate system includes an in- terceptor trench that collects the leachate, which will then be taken to the Goderich water treatment plant for treatment. Bye said Conestoga Rovers would know more about the system. In a statement circulated at the meeting, the ratepayers group said results of their efforts can be seen: they are covering the garbage daily; they are going to impli- ment a rat and animal control program; the refuse on the Western face has been covered up; consultants will be called in to estimate the cost of putting out the fire and how to go about it. A ratepayer questioned Cummins con- cerning seagulls and if they could carry disease from the dump. Cummins agreed they could. He was then asked if the dump could pollute as far a Goderich. Cummins replied, he was not sure but indicated Goderich harbour showed an unusually high amount of pollution. All through the meeting Cummins stressed it is best to assume the leachate contains hazardous and toxic chemicals until it is proven otherwise. 527-0180 Watching videos tonight?
