Proposed drive-through divides
council, is deferred

Several North Huron Township
Councillors have pledged their
support for a new drive-through at
the existing Coffee Culture location
in Wingham, however the
township’s planning representative
from the Huron County Planning
Department is uneasy with the
proposition.
Sally McMullen stated that the
plan is lacking necessary
information, including the location
of dumpsters and a sufficient barrier
between the proposed drive-through
and nearby residences, that would
allow her to suggest council give the
go ahead.
Other problems McMullen had
included problems that could occur
with space and loading zones, and
the lack of supporting documents.
Representatives from the
company stated that they feel an 18
to 20 per cent increase in business
would occur as a result of the drive-
through, but it wouldn’t be
substantial enough to cause
additional congestion in downtown
Wingham.
Councillors Bernie Bailey and
Ray Hallahan stated they support the
expansion of business and the
estimated 10 to 12 new jobs it would
create.
Councillor Brock Vodden didn’t
support the idea, regardless of the
information, however.
“I don’t think that drive-throughs
will add to our community,” he said.
“Vehicles lining up in the
winter and the summer don’t
help the environment or the
community.”
Council decided to not go ahead
with the plan to allow the expansion
until more information could be
provided.

ACW bylaw should be
reconsidered; Miller
The creation of a second dwelling
in a Amish area has councillor Doug
Miller concerned that Ashfield-
Colborne-Wawanosh’s (ACW)
bylaws are being adhered to in
policy but not in meaning.
Miller, during the same meeting in
which the Amish dwelling was
approved, stated he felt that this
wasn’t what council had in mind.
The structure, which is currently a
one-family dwelling, will have a
skyway above a driveway attaching
it to a second building as a means of
following rules that state that new
dwellings can be created provided
they are attached to the home.
While council agreed that any
building would need to be approved
by ACW Chief Building Official
Kirk Livingston, Miller stated that
the connection should be on the
ground.
“I don’t think anyone envisioned
what we talked about earlier in the
meeting,” he said. “I think we need
to revisit the wording of the bylaw.”
While council was aware that the
case in question was unique in that
there was no other way to expand
the dwelling due to the location of a
well, Miller stated that the bylaw
that allows these attached dwellings
needs to be revised.

Sheep Club learns about
shepherd calendars
By Zach Drost
The third meeting of the Huron
County 4-H South Sheep Club was
held on June 13 at 7 p.m. at Anne
Marie MacGregor’s farm.
As members began to arrive, a fun
game of soccer was enjoyed.
The meeting was opened with the
4-H pledge. Secretary Amber
Brodie read the minutes, which
were approved. The leaders,
Florence Pullen and Deb Falconer,
discussed upcoming events. The
judging competition where
members judge various classes and
give reasons for their placing will be
held in Seaforth on August 9.
The “Go for the Gold” challenge,
an evening of teams answering 4-H
trivia, will be held on July 20 at 7
p.m. at Clinton United Church.
The Huron County 4-H speaking
competition will be held June 25 at
the Seaforth Agriplex, where there
will be a junior and senior division.
The members were taught proper
shepherd calendar keeping, where
important information such as
marking culled ewes or shearing
sheep is kept. It is important to keep
good records to have a healthy flock
of sheep. Leader Deb Falconer
showed members what a
proper lambing kit would have in
it.
The list might include iodine,
cloths, disposable gloves, needles
and syringes, vitamins A, D and E,
stomach tubes, disinfectant, hoof
trimmers, etc. The leaders
challenged members to make a
similar kit.
Following this, the members
judged a class of soybeans to help
prepare for the judging competition.
The next meeting will be held at the
Kinsman home at 7529 Line 21 on
Monday, July 18 at 7 p.m.
Members enjoyed a snack and the
meeting came to a close.
