Longest play a success
Work plan approved for school demolitionMorris-Turnberry Council, despite
an in-camera discussion regarding
new information that had come to
light at Oct. 1, approved a work plan
for the demolition of the former
Turnberry Central Public School.
The work, which was set to begin
on Sept. 30, will start locating
underground utilities and, within 10
days is supposed to have fencing put
up according to the report presented
on Oct. 1.
The school is set to be demolished
through a top-down destruction
method that will take approximately
three weeks.
The wells on site will also be
decommissioned according to the
Ministry of Environment (MOE)
standards, which includes
information being given to the
township with status of the wells and
Global Positioning System (GPS)
co-ordinates.
Chief Building Official Steve
Fortier presented the report but alsostated there had been a minorinconsistency in all the tenderspresented for the bid which required
council to pass a motion accepting
the a new, slightly higher tendered
price of $77,337.60.
Council also discussed several
matters related to what was coming
out of the demolition site.
Fortier explained Salandria
Limited, according to the document,
was planning on sending everything
to the landfill but landfill operators
could ask to have clean concrete and
clean fill kept separately.
Councillor Dave Baker, however,
wondered about other artifacts of the
school.
“I’ve had people approach me as
to flower beds and shrubs around the
school,” he said. “Some people have
donated plants and wonder if they
can go in and take some of the
flower or shrubs out.”
Baker also stated he had been
approached by several people
looking to get things out of the
school. He said he had directed themto Administrator Clerk-TreasurerNancy Michie.“We have a list of four people who
have called wanting different things
from grounds,” Michie reported.
“We have given those names and
numbers to the contractor and, at a
meeting later on this week, we’ll see
if they have any problems.”
Mayor Paul Gowing said it would
be great to be able to save the things
people have donated and he would
like to see them get those kind of
things back.
Michie explained a lot of the
objects people were seeking weren’t
necessarily donated items.
“We have one person that wants
cupboards, one person that wants ablackboard and one person whowants a brick or a block,” she said.
The discussion led Gowing to ask
exactly who is in charge of the site
now that Salandria had began the
process leading up to the demolition.
Michie explained she would look in
to that when she later had
discussions with the group.
Councillor Neil Warwick
wondered exactly how much value
was left in the building, but was told
the majority of the fixtures were
attached to walls. He did say,
however, they should check things
like fire extinguishers to see if they
would be usable.
Fortier explained he had noproblem with people taking things aslong as the company was fine with it.Deputy-Mayor Jason
Breckenridge acknowledged water
will be kept on at the school until the
demolition requires it to be shut off.
He noted that was likely primarly for
the purpose of removing asbestos
which needs to be kept damp to
prevent particles of the hazardous
material from entering the air.
He wondered how much water
would be used for the removal, but
did say the existing service at the site
was likely sufficient for that.
Council approved the slightly
increased cost and then went into
closed session. They reported, after
the fact, there had been a discussion
about information brought to them
by an identifiable individual.
Five members of Knox United
Church UCW met on Oct. 1 at the
North Huron Museum, Wingham.
Leader Nancy Jardin welcomed all
and introductions were made of Lou
Cull and Jackie Riggs.
The meeting began with two
readings: “Why are Christians Like
Pumpkins?” and “Thankfulness”.
The worship theme was “To See
Beauty”, led by Nancy Folkard. It
focused on inner beauty – words,
actions and deeds. Offering was
presented and blessed. Roll call was
answered with “name
something that you are especially
thankful for.” The secretary’s and
treasurer’s reports were given and
approved.
The Longest Play event was very
successful and Ruth Gordon was
thanked for donating window
coverings for use beside the church
organ. Plans were made for a
planned after-church luncheon to be
held Sunday, Oct. 27. The DVD for
use at the World Day of Prayer will
be ordered.
The UCW’s next meeting on Nov.
5 at 7:30 p.m. at the church will
feature speaker Joan Black.
Everyone is most welcome to attend.
Lou Cull then presented a very
thorough and enlightening
presentation on the life and work of
George Agnew Reid. He came
from this area and was a
celebrated artist and architect.
Several pieces of his work were
displayed. After a question and
answer period the meeting was
adjourned and Sheila Nixon served
refreshments.
The community congratulates
Alaina Kathleen (daughter of
Marvin Cook) and Robert Tanner
Howard (son of Rob and Colleen
Adams) of Boissevain, Manitoba on
their recent engagement and
upcoming marriage.
Congratulations and best wishes
are extended from the community to
Jeanne VanCamp and John Glanville
who were married on Sept. 28 at the
Wawanosh Nature Centre. Their
reception was held at the Brodhagen
Community Centre. The couple
reside just east of Walton.
On Friday, Oct. 4 the Belgrave
Community Club met at noon at the
Belgrave Community Centre.
Eighteen friends and neighbours
enjoyed a delicious potluck meal.
Donations were received for the
Alzheimer’s Coffee Break fund.
Lucky chair prizes were given to
Florence McArter and Muriel
Coultes.
The meeting opened with
President Muriel Coultes giving a
reading titled “Fall is Everywhere.”
Both the secretary’s and treasurer’s
reports were presented and
approved. The next shoot party will
be on Friday, Oct. 11 and the arena
board will hold a “Wing night” on
Nov. 30. The Zone Rally will be in
Grand Bend on Oct. 17.
After a discussion among the
membership a decision was reached
to discontinue the community club.
The shoot parties will also be
disbanded after the next party. Plans
are underway for a final meal and
program on Dec. 6 in the form of a
catered Christmas dinner. Barbara
Anderson introduced guest speaker
Linda Campbell. She has taken
many courses and is a deep muscle
massage therapist. Linda gave
explanations of differing methods
and treatments. She finds her work
both interesting and rewarding. A
question and answer time followed.
The meeting adjourned with the
singing of “God Save the Queen.”
