By Linda Campbell Call 357-2188 PEOPLE AROUND BELGRAVE M-T donates to HAHN, not golf course The decision on two requests for grants which ended in two defeated motions at the April 17 meeting, proved almost as problematic at the May 1 meeting of Morris-Turnberry council. Motions regarding grants to the Huron Arts and Heritage Networks and the Wingham Golf and Curling Club had resulted in tie votes because there was an even number of councillors. A tie is considered a defeated motion. With full attendance at the May 1 meeting it was decided to try again. First a motion to give $250 to each applicant was made, and defeated. A second motion was made to give $100 to each, but again it was defeated. Finally a motion was made to give $250 to the Huron Arts and Heritage Networks only, and this passed. *** Council passed a bylaw to appoint an acting fire chief to replace the late John Black. In other fire-related business, Mayor Paul Gowing reported that at Huron County Council’s strategic planning session there was very little interest in pursuing the idea of a county-wide fire department.

COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER Watch for the inaugural community newsletter for the Listowel Wingham Hospitals Alliance. Information about the Alliance and several of the organizations that support health care in our communities is featured in the newsletter expected to be published in late May. NEWS FROM BELGRAVE Walk about surveys Wingham area Members of the Wingham Business Alliance and Township of North Huron staff participated in a Walk-about Josephine Street with the intent of identifying quick projects for improvement. Meant to complement the work already done on Wingham’s main street, the group was looking for simple, cost- efficient ways to add to the beautification of the commercial core. During the walk, concerns such as abandoned signs, weeds, dusty windows, outdated advertising posters and tired paint jobs were noted. Business owners involved in the walk shared some improvement ideas for their own buildings that are already in the works. “The purpose of the walk was to look at our main street with fresh eyes. We might walk by an abandoned sign every day and not notice it until we look at things with a different perspective. The cost of the two-year Josephine Street Project will be $6.6 million upon completion including the County of Huron contribution, but nothing sells a community to investors better than pride in a hometown that is reflected in the little details. Small things like fresh paint, tidy parking lots, clean windows and a lack of weeds speak volumes about the health and vitality of a commercial area,” said Community Development Co-ordinator, Connie Goodall. As a result of the walk the Wingham Business Alliance will be sending a letter to the bylaw enforcement officer requesting that abandoned signs in town be addressed. A letter will also be sent to area businesses requesting their involvement in continuing to create a more attractive commercial core. By Keith Roulston The Citizen
