Alzheimer Society holds annual walk Morris-Turnberry councillorsquickly agreed when a delegation of North Huron officials appeared at their Jan. 18 meeting to ask permission to use Morris-Turnberry roads for a detour during upcoming street construction in Wingham. Ralph Campbell, North Huron’s director of public works, asked council’s permission to use Helena,Arthur and North Streets as well asRoyal Road in Lower Town forredirected traffic during the two-yearreconstruction of Wingham’s main street. Arthur and North Streets have shared ownership between the two municipalities. Gary Pipe, Morris-Turnberry’s director of public works, said he didn’t see a problem with the additional traffic on any street but North Street, which is already indeteriorating condition. Perhaps itmight be best to wait until the detourtraffic was over, then rebuild thestreet, he suggested. That brought up the second reason for Campbell’s visit: a proposal for sharing costs in rebuilding a 500- foot section of North Street between Pine and Josephine (main) Street. Campbell said it would be advantageous to replace current shallow sanitary sewer lines along the street with deeper lines that would allow residents on both the North Huron and Morris-Turnberry sides of the street to hook up basement outlets. He estimated the municipal share of road work (the work is co-funded by the provincial and federalgovernments) at $70,000, of whichMorris-Turnberry’s share would be$35,000.Pipe was supportive of the idea saying it would likely cost that much just to repave the street after the heavy traffic. There would also be the opportunity to get a bargain in extending the contract for work farther west on North Street, he felt. Councillors approved the detour plan but asked for more time to consider the North Street reconstruction, which won’t take place until 2012 anyway. “We certainly appreciate the heads-up so we don’t have to deal with it on short timelines,” Mayor Paul Gowing told Campbell. The community extends sincere sympathy to Harry and June Bakker and family (formerly of Belgrave) in the loss of their mother Tryntje Bakker. Sincere sympathy is also extended from the community to Norman and Florence Wightman, Murray and Pat Wightman, Marilyn and Don Bucholtz and Brian and Alison Wightman and families in the loss of Glen Wightman.

Belgrave WI meets M-T to allow Wingham detourBy Keith RoulstonThe Citizen The Belgrave Women’s Institute began the January meeting with a potluck lunch attended by nine members and 16 guests. Following the meal, Audrey Fenton introduced Randy Nixon, from Elliott Nixon Insurance of Blyth, who spoke on safe driving in winter and home care during cold weather. It is best to have snowtires on your vehicle, keep the gas tank more than half full and carry a cellular phone. Keep snow and ice cleared on the walk and driveway to prevent falls and check eavestroughs for ice buildup. Let the insurance company know if the house will be vacant for more than 30 days. Randy answered many questions concerning liability and gave a water alarm to Mary Hunter who had the most recent birthday. Audrey thanked him for his timely information and gave a door prize to Irene Rawn and Dianna Robinson. The many uses of vinegar for cleaning and health benefits was read by Audrey. The president invited everyone to the February meeting which will be a potluck lunch for the local public on Tuesday, Feb. 15 and will be a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Belgrave WI.
