PLAN NUMBER 7-3-976 EXTERIOR TRADITIONAL TOUCHES
On the outside, this two-storey, three-bedroom family home features traditional touches, such as a multi-gabled roof, partly
mullioned windows and painted pilasters with stone bases at the entrance.
Inside, however, are all the amenities a modern family requires, including room for expansion, thanks to the bonus room and
unfinished basement included with the plans.
Entry is up a couple of stairs, onto a covered porch—always welcome in inclement weather—and into the foyer. A coat closet
is situated to the left. Directly ahead is a niche for displaying collectibles and behind it, the den (or fourth bedroom), which boasts
an extra-wide window sill, is ideally located for a home office.
The great room is separated from the foyer by an arch, which is echoed by a second arch that extends from the kitchen. The
gas fireplace in the great room is placed so it can be enjoyed from the kitchen and the dining area.
Sliding glass doors from the dining area, which includes an optional built-out buffet, lead to a patio and the back garden.
The cook will never feel isolated in the kitchen, which is open to the great room and, through a third archway, the dining area.
The large walk-in pantry, which provides extra storage, will help reduce trips to the grocery store.
Between the kitchen and the double garage is the laundry, which can double as a mud room and contains a closet for family
gear. A broom cupboard is located nearby.
Upstairs is the master suite, which includes a walk-in closet, as well as a window with an extra-wide sill. The four-piece ensuite
includes a soaker tub, set into a niche with windows on two sides, with a tiled surround, the ideal spot for relaxing after a long day.
The second bedroom features a built-in desk, while the third bedroom has a larger closet. The secondary bedrooms share a
three-piece bathroom with a towel cupboard. A linen cupboard is situated nearby, at the head of the stairs.
Above the garage is an unfinished bonus room with sloping ceilings. This space suggests several uses, among them a playroom,
a hang-out space for teens or an exercise room.
Traditional touches on the exterior include partly mullioned windows, wooden shingles in the bonus-room gable and stone
accents.
This home measures 33 feet wide (because of the bedroom cantilever) and 57 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,980 square
feet, excepting the bonus room.
Plans for design 7-3-976 are available for $649 (set of 5), $730 (set of 8) and $777 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for
Priority charges within B.C. or $50.00 outside of B.C. Please add 12% H.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to
both the plan price and Priority charges.

Greener landfill proposal resisted by neighboursResidents living near theWingham Landfill site areconcerned with proposed changes tothe way the site is operated.
North Huron Township Council
met to discuss a draft of proposed
changes to the landfill site prior to
the regular council meeting on
August 16.
The proposed alterations include a
relocation of the site entrance, an
improved drop off site for the public,
a storage and transfer site for
hazardous household wastes, storage
of construction and destruction
materials for off-site recycling,
storage of yard waste for off-site
composing and amendments to the
annual monitoring program for the
site.
The changes would see most of
the hazardous waste at the site to be
stored until it can be removed andtaken to a proper recycling facilitywhich would result in less materialbeing burned or buried, according tocouncillors.Neighbouring residents wereconcerned with many aspects of the
proposed site changes, starting with
the relocation of the entrance to Reid
Road from Currie Line. The
residents stated that this will provide
problems with sight lines and cause
a greater volume of traffic.
Staff of both the township and RJ
Burnside and Associates engineering
firm stated that they do plan to lower
the land around the entrance as a
means of preventing any dangerous
blockage of sight lines.
Adjacent landowner resident Jim
Taylor stated that adding more to the
site was a decision made for the sake
of the residents of Wingham, and not
for the residents of the township as a
whole.
“Everything that has been donehere has not been done for the localsnear it,” he said. “Put the transferstation in Wingham so that some ofthe traffic from Wingham won’t begoing to the landfill.”Councillors and staff tried to
explain to Taylor that the garbage
coming in would have already been
coming to the landfill site, but now it
will be addressed differently, having
more of it recycled if possible.
Reeve Neil Vincent also stated
that, for the size of the operation,
there isn’t really any other place to
put it in the township.
Another concern was visibility, as
none of the neighbours wanted to be
able to see the landfill site, or its
waste, which should be fixed by the
new public waste drop-off centres,
which are reserved for non-
commercial drop offs.
By using multiple bins, and a lined
drop off point, the landfill site
should maximize traffic flow andminimize the visual impact, as onlythe vehicles may be visible due to berms and sunken structures.Councillor David Riach said hebelieved that many of the neighbours
concerns have already been
addressed by the plan.
“All of the problems Mr. Taylorhad seem to be covered in the newagreement,” he said.Council filed the draft and invitedall the residents to direct theirquestions in writing to the townshipto have issues dealt with when the
draft comes forward for its final
application.

to keep in time, but they were doing
well with it.
The Young Company also agreed
that being in the group requires
complete dedication, and that is why
they are able to tackle the dancing
and singing to put on a great
show at the end of their time
together.
Barnett stated that it requires
complete dedication to the company.
“It’s a lot of hard work and a lot of
commitment,” she said. “But it’s not
just commitment to the story, it’s
commitment to each other. You have
to be committed to doing a great job
together, not committed to
yourself.”
The show will debut on
August 31 and run through
September 5.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $5
for students, and are available at the
