The Huron Expositor, 1983-07-27, Page 19'Tr all la al w� I I cost 510, 75 each The proposed new landfill site in Mc lg6p sell" and then done res will cost each resident of that township, It wasn't until Jan, 1983 that the Seaforth and Tuckersmith about $10,75 a committee paid 51000 to ick up the option year. on the McKilltip site. i The figure comes from a report to the The Augissue of R Fal Voice magazine landfill site committee from the Burns Ross quotes McKillop residettt,Mae Govenlock as engineering firm. Based on a site life of 24 to saying neighbours wrote township council 26 years, the figure includes an average back in Nov. 1981 wit]} their concern that a 54.80 a year per person for operating the landfill site wouldn't be suitable at part lot site. Those costs vary according to earth 24. movin and cell buildin done each ear but will total an average of $33,000. y Capital costs to set up the site ' are estimated at 5275,000, including 5123,321 for property purchase; $4,000 for the access .road'and S86,000 in Environmental Assess- ment Act costs. The eventual EAA hearing will cost the three municipalities an estimated S5,000 a day, Seaforth clerk Jim Crocker says. Town and Tuckersmith residents pay about $4.50 per capita to run the present dump which is closing in 1984. As well, the landfil committee has to set aside funds for cl 'ng the site in the year 2009, as well for maintenance after it's closed. OPTIONED EARLY The landfill site committee negotiated an option to buy the land at part lot 24, con. 4 back in Oct. 1981, the clerk says. The owner was "basically the only one who had something that looked good and was willing to sell." Taking an option before all jhe possible sites were investigated is standard practice under the act, says engineer George Godin,. because it's a way of confirming price. Once a possible seller knows his land is the only one which meets all the requirements of the act, the price could skyrocket, he explains. That's why the act allows optioning long before all sites are tested. Two years ago when possible sites were being identified, the McLlwain property was the only one on which an option was available, Mr. Crocker says. "We would have taken options out on three or four sites if they had been willine to Clerk Crocker say hydrologists and other experts were actually more in favor of another site, the }Nixon property near the present dump, after first looks at many sites. But drilling disqualified it completely. Re echoes Mr. Ggdin that the final site recommendationris "definitely not a put up job." Incineration As a solution for Seaforth and area's garbage problems has been ruled out because of cost, but a recent federal study has another objection to that process. A July 19 Toronto Star story says there is 10 times more danger from the dioxin that incinera- tors let off than from the Niagara River system. While dioxin is leaking into that system from waste dumps near Niagara Falls, N.Y., a University of Waterloo researcher has found garbage incineration is a major source of dioxin pollution. Dioxin i a component of the Agent Orange herbicid sed by US forces in the Vietnam war. Mayor Alf Ross says he welcomes discussion about the landfill site and its alternatives. "I'd be more concerned if (neighbours) objected after it was there." New garbage management guidelines from the ministry of the environment he says are impressive. "But also very expensive." They require a compactor, aggregate cover, a responsible operator on site and these things don't come cheap. "There'll be no odor problem, no rodent problem, but probably a financial problem," in order to make the new site meet all the requirements, he says.

"A lot of things I took for granted as tights, such as living. space and medical care are in fact privileges," she says. The desperato poverty in Zambia has caused her to consider how fortunate she and other Canadians are, Looking around the United Church manse where she will be living, she remarks that the living and dining looms combined are big enough to house 12 people in Zambia. "It feels strange having this whole house to myself. It makes me realize just how many possessions I have. It was freeing to live without possessions while 1 was in Africa but now 1 find myself caught up in consumerism again." Her trip to Zambia was part of her field work for her Masters of Divinity which also included biblical, theological, historical and pastoral Studies during three years at divinity college in Toronto. She also did field work in Louisport, Newfoundland and at the National Church Office in Toronto. The United Church sends its students to other countries because it believes they should be sensitive to world issues, she says. With her greater understanding of the problems in third world countries, Cheryl Ann plans to share her ideas about how to help people living in poverty like those in Zambia, I believe 'most Christians care deeply about the fact children die et'ery night from starvation or die from measles because there are no vaccinations. They just don't know what to do to help. I want to help people to be more intentional about their faith." To those who would say It's useless to send aid since it never reaches the needy, Cheryl Ann has an optimistic answer. "We have transmitted a sense of values that was not native to Africa. The idea that wealth is good can be found there now but there are still people who will do without if it will help their neighbours. To me. if anything gets through, it makes it all worthwhile." Though the church is young in Africa. it is growing and therefore challenging and exciting, says Cheryl Ann, During church services, benches would be full of people seated, the aisles would be full and others would be looking in the windows. "I became aware of how badly we need each other, of how much we need their vigor and their life," she says. • Cheryl Ann's fiance', whom she met in Zambia, will be coming to Canada soon. He and the new minister, who grew up in Toronto, will be married and will live in the manse while ,he studies at UWO at Waterloo.

Huronview On Saturday afternoon, a Christian Reform group from Vanastra came out to enter- tain the residents. They divided into two groups and while one played outdoors under the trees, the other sang at various area in the home. This youthful com- pany of girls and boys with guitars, pleased the resi- dents as they played and sang gospel songs, old and new. Sunday morning worship was held in the auditorium with David ' McKnight in charge. There was a good attendance. We had a lovely surprise this morning, when Merelyn McKnight, David's wife, was our guest soloist. During the service, Grace Peck, on behalf of the residents, pre- sented a gift to David. Following the service, David and Merelyn were guests of a few friends at lunch. Since July 24 was Merelyn's birth- day, she celebrated part of it with us. She and David are taking up residence in Bay- field, so we are hoping to see them often. We are very pleased to hear that Reverend Pick will be back with us next Sunday, after his illness.
