Wingham school
clears final hurdles
The Township of North Huron and
the Avon Maitland District School
Board received official notification
on June 29 that the Ontario
Municipal Board (OMB) had closed
the case file on the appeals of the
site plan and school construction.
Wingham resident Bob Pike
withdrew his appeal last week after
meeting with officials from the
board and township.
The OMB notified the parties
today that given the dismissal of the
Elliott appeal and the withdrawal of
the Pike appeal the file was closed.
“We are extremely pleased that all
OMB appeals regarding the land for
the new Maitland River Elementary
School have been withdrawn and the
file has been closed. Accomplishing
this significant milestone now paves
the way for us to complete the
purchase of the land for the new
school, which is the next major step
in the process for this exciting
project,” said Board Chair Randy
Wagler.
With the file closed, construction
on the new school can soon begin.

communities involved and each
group met for the first time in the
past couple of weeks. These
committees were established to
assist the schools, students, parents
and staff plan for the changes and
make the transition as seamless as
possible. The committees also
discussed whether new names
should be considered for the
consolidated schools, or whether the
schools not slated for closure would
retain their existing name.
The respective committees then
considered suggestions from the
school communities submitted over
the past month through a board poll
conducted on the yourschools.ca
website.
As a result the Board approved the
decommissioning of the names of
Blyth Public School, East
Wawanosh Public School, Wingham
Public School and Turnberry Central
Public School and the naming of the
the newly-configured elementary
school in
Wingham as Maitland River
Elementary School, effective
September 1, 2012.
The board approved the
decommissioning of the names of
Brussels Public School and Grey
Central Public School and decided
to name the newly-configured
elementary school in Ethel as North
Woods Elementary School, effective
September 1, 2012.
Hullett Central Public School may
still be renamed, however the
Hullett-Blyth transition committee
decided to defer that decision until
the fall.

good day of fun but a poor day of
golf. There’s always next year.
The sign-up sheet for working a
shift at the Brussels Tigers fastball
tournament to be held July 22, 23
and 24 is up at the Branch. It helps a
lot if people drop in and sign up and
not so many phone calls need to be
made.
If everyone lends a hand to do a
shift, it is not as much work for the
others.

with the America Kennel Club,” she
said, adding that her extensive
experience with dogs was what
made it possible.
As a judge, Beisel-McIlwaine
attends approximately 50-60 shows
per year, coming up to Canada, at
most, once per year.
Coming to Canada was a sort of
familial homecoming for Beisel-
McIlwaine, whose grandfather was
Andrew Laird-Turnbull of the
London area, a newspaper mogul in
the United States from the early
20th century.
