At their Oct. 19 meeting, Morris-
Turnberry councillors sent two
recommendations to the five-year
review of the provincial policy
statement on planning.
The letter from council
complained there are too many
restrictions on growth in rural
municipalities. It brought particular
attention to situations where land is
not suitable for agriculture and is
separated from the main farming
operation by a woodlot or
watercourse. Council felt residential
development should be allowed in
these areas if there would be no
adverse effect on nearby farms.
Council also felt the definition of
agriculture-related uses has the
potential for unintended
consequences by allowing small
scale farm-related commercial and
industrial uses but not large scale.

Council gave approval for the site
plan for the Pioneer Seed plant on
County Road 86 east of Wingham.
***
Those Belgrave residents who
financed their charges for the
installation of the Belgrave water
system will be getting good news.
Financing for the money borrowed
to cover the costs of those who
spread out their payments out over
30 years has been received from
Infrastructure Ontario in the amount
of $989,552. The interest rate is 4.36
per cent. The original interest rate
had been projected to be 5.16 per
cent.
“This brings to a close the last 11
years of work on the Belgrave water
system,” said Nancy Michie,
administrator, clerk-treasurer.
***
There are 52 residential and one
industrial properties within a 100-
metre zone surrounding the Belgrave
well that will be affected under
the Source Water Protection
regulations.
Michie said there will be more
information coming next month
about how much it will cost these
property owners to have their septic
tanks inspected to ensure the safety
of the water supply.
***
Michie was presented with a
certificate from the Association of
Municipal Managers, Clerks and
Treasurers of Ontario for 30 years as
a member of the organization and
her ongoing support.
***
Morris-Turnberry received a
$27,260 credit from the province
towards Ontario Provincial Police
policing costs for the first half of the
year.
***
Municipal staff will conduct the
fall yard waste pickup in urban areas
which ends Nov. 3. It would have
cost $800 for each of the three
weekly pickups to have Bluewater
Recycling do the collection. The
staff cost will be about $1,600.
Continued from page 2Nethery, 41.The Kids Care group canvassedthe town for food donations for thefood bank on Sunday afternoon. TheHalloween food drive collected
around 800 cans, boxes and
containers of food items for those in
need. The Brussels Branch donated
the use of the building for the group
to use for their home base and to
warm up. Congratulations to the
approximately 20 kids and their
leaders for showing that no matter
the age, we can make a difference.
The annual Poppy drive by
members of the Brussels Legion and
Brussels Army Cadet Corp 2967 was
carried out on Saturday morning.
There were eight Cadets canvassing
and 12 Branch members. Comrades
Glenn Bridge and Cecil Moore, each
with a cadet, were stationed at the
grocery store and variety store.
Comrades Wanda Walker, Jo-Ann
McDonald, Lisa Glanville, SandraJosling, Mabel Glanville and AndyOverholt canvassed and ComradesRoss Bennett, Ross Alcock, BushWhittard and George Adams droveCadets around town and to Ethel and
Walton to canvass. Comrade Poppy
Chairman Catrina Josling did a great
job organizing the groups, assigning
territories and running things very
smoothly. The members, upon their
return, were greeted with hot drinks
and cookies and cinnamon buns.
The Poppy boxes are placed
around town in various stores.
Poppies are available to everyone
and donations are gratefully
accepted. The monies raised through
the Poppy Campaign are used to
support veterans of our own Branch
and through programs of District C.
Monies are also used to provide gift
packages for veterans and residents
at Parkwood Hospital in London.
Donations are made to the Legion
Bursary Program to assist thefinancial needs of students that aredescendants of veterans. Donationsare made to the CharitableFoundation which provides funds formedical equipment. The Brussels
Fire Department received one of
these donations for a piece of life-
saving equipment earlier this year.
Donations can also be made to the
local Cadet Corp each year. Funds
from the Poppy account support the
prizes for the annual Remembrance
Day Literary, Poster and Essay
program for the local school
children. Monies from the Poppy
Fund are never used for the day-to-
day expenses of any Branch of the
Royal Canadian Legion.
The Poppy is worn as a symbol of
the supreme sacrifice made by our
Canadian servicemen who gave their
lives for the freedoms we enjoy
today. The Poppy should always be
worn on your left lapel, near the
heart, as a symbol of respect. Pleaserespect the tradition of wearing yourPoppy in the proper place. There aremany tricks to keep from losing yourPoppy. One is to put a piece ofrubber band on the back side of the
garment you are wearing your Poppy
on and push the pin through it.
Another is to push the pin through
the lapel and then back up through
the Poppy and down again.
The solemn words of
Remembrance will be heard at the
Remembrance Day ceremonies held
across the country on Nov. 11. The
Brussels Legion Branch 218 will
hold services at the Legion starting
at 10:30 a.m. We encourage all that
are able to attend the service to join
us this day to Remember our
Canadian soldiers who lost their
lives, limbs and families during the
armed conflicts of this world.
Remembrance Day services pay
special tribute to those “who gave
their lives that freedom mightprevail” since 1931.It is only a small sacrifice of timeto attend local Remembrance Dayservices in the area or to take amoment to pause and observe “two
minutes of silence at 11 a.m.” for
those who sacrificed everything.
Many today have no direct memory
of losing loved ones from serving in
First or Second World War or the
Korean War, but our area has
suffered the loss of loved ones while
serving for Canada in the war in
Afghanistan. Let their sacrifice not
be forgotten as we near
Remembrance Day and plan to
attend a service near you.
“They shall not grow old, as we
that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the
years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and
in the morning,
We will Remember them.”
