Through double doors, the foyer’s ceiling is also sloped, a feature that is echoed by the great room’s dramatic vaulted ceiling and out to a covered patio at the back of the home. A formal dining room is located to the left of the foyer. Both areas are separated from the great room by archways. The great room includes a gas fireplace flanked by entertainment units and enjoys access through french doors to the covered patio. The roomy kitchen includes a large island with a four-seat eating bar along one side and a bar sink at one end. A window over the dou- ble sink will let in lots of natural light, and the L-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook. A phone desk will provide room for a computer as well, and a pantry is located nearby. In the space connecting the double garage, set at an angle to the home’s main wing, are a powder room and a laundry room, which can double as a mud room. The garage includes a motorcycle bay. Stairs lead to the bonus room above, which could provide space for a home office, a studio or a fitness room. In the sleeping wing, the master suite is located at the back of the home for privacy. A window with an extra-wide sill, perfect for a win- dow seat, overlooks the back garden. The ensuite is reached through a capacious walk-in closet and includes a soaker tub, as well as a shower stall and double sinks. The second and third bedrooms overlook the front garden and share a bathroom with a tub and double sinks. Nearby is a linen closet and storage cupboard. On the home’s exterior, the vertical board-and-batten finish in the gables is repeated on the garage doors. Horizontal siding and both unpainted and painted wood trim, plus cut-stone accents, lend the home an aura of casual elegance. This home measures 90 feet, six inches wide and 76 feet, seven inches deep, for a total of 2,188 square feet of living space, plus the 400-square-foot bonus room.

The project is being spearheaded by the Wingham Business Alliance which was formed to help local busi- nesses deal with the two-year Josephine Street reconstruction proj- ect. While the group behind the project and council itself are hopeful that the idea will find traction in the community, Councillor Archie MacGowan tempered his enthusiasm with some reminders from BIAs previously attempted in Wingham.“I know that this has been tried anumber of times in the past,” he said.“Some misinformation has been outthere. This isn’t a council-directedproject, for example. People had atough time getting past that idea.People spread half-truths, everyonethinks it’s just another tax and it’s not. Business owners have to under- stand this is a project for them, but also run by them.” Gary Ballagh, a representative of the Wingham Business Alliance, said his group is informing ratepay- ers and business owners as to what the project is. “If people have the information and make their decision, that’s fine,” he said. “The problem we have is people don’t have the information and are making their decisions without it. It has been tried before, but things havechanged. Now is the time to pulltogether.”MacGowan responded by sayingthat it was commendable that thegroup is taking up this challenge,since it will be a great asset forWingham and local businesses. Healso said it will fit well with coun-cil’s strategic plan. Deputy-Reeve David Riach attended a special meeting about the BIA the week before discussing thisat council’s Nov. 5 meeting and hadnothing but good things to say aboutthe meeting.“I have to commend you on theprofessionalism and the super wayyou presented the Wingham BIA,”he said. “It was an excellent presen-tation and very well done. Thankyou for that.”Councillor Bernie Bailey said that one important thing to note was that the room where they held the meet-ing was packed. “We’re not talking four or fivepeople, we’re talking a full room,”he said. “We had that many peoplethere and not a negative thing was said. People were interested and people wanted to get involved.”Council asked to be keptinformed as to the progress of the project.
