JIGS HOLLOW PIT (KUNTZ TOPSOIL, SAND AND GRAVEL)

First off this story isn't yet online or I would post the link to it. Here's the link! Secondly for me this is the advantage of having two extremely local newspapers. My Saturday posting was on the same topic from the view of the Woolwich Observer. Today's posting is from the view of the Elmira Independent. I was amazed at the bluntness and political savvy of the local residents. Both Keri Vrbanac and Bill Norrish essentially told Woolwich Council that their opinions no longer mattered as the voters had given them the boot already. Councillor Murray Martin was the only Councillor who voted against acceptance of this pit. His claim was that he was listening to his constituents (perhaps a little belatedly). The big item is the "sunset clause" This is only the second one in the province of Ontario and they are strongly overdue. Far too many pits are licensed and operating forever in Woolwich Township. This clause could cut back on the race to acquire pits prior to their being any need for them.
