beginning farmers puts them at a
disadvantage, she said.
The Progressive Conservative
agricultural critic, Oxford MPP
Ernie Hardeman blamed the
McGuinty government for inaction.
“We can’t wait six months for her
(Dombrowsky) to decide what needs
to be done. Something needs to be
done now.”
But there was some hope offered
by Gary Long, special assistant to
Gary Schellenberger the Perth-
Wellington MP who predicted
federal Agricultural Minister Gerry
Ritz will announce some sort of aid
package this week after
consultations with the provinces and
territories in Niagara-on-the-Lake
on July 8. If there is no
announcement, Long said there is a
meeting of the Conservative caucus
and Schellenberger and other rural
MPs would be pressing for action.
The Sebringville rally was the
latest in a series of protests across
the province that began June 22 in
Belleville and continued at Queens
Park, July 3 and outside the federal-
provincial agriculture ministers’
meeting in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
A fight for aid

Ag critic blames Liberals
A Turnberry ward couple who
wanted a second residence for their
daughter who helps on their farm
moved closer to their goal at the July
22 meeting of Morris Turnberry
Council.
Liz Thompson of Royal Homes
accompanied Lynne Magee and
explained that the modular home
Magee wants to build on her farm
can be quickly and easily removed
when it is no longer needed.
Magee and her husband David had
attended council last October to ask
permission to locate a second
residence on the farm to
accommodate their daughter and
son-in-law who, they said, are
needed on the farm 24 hours a day to
help with their growing horse-
training business.
The official plan in Turnberry
allows for only a single-wide mobile
home as a temporary secondary
residence, while Morris Ward’s
official plan allows a double-wide
mobile home. But the Magees
wanted a modular home instead,
arguing that it was also mobile and
could be removed when no longer
needed.
Worried that a modular home
might be argued as being too
difficult to move and therefore
should be allowed to become a
permanent residence, council turned
down the request last November.
Thompson said a similar home to
the one the Magees hope to build
was set up at an International
Plowing Match site in one hour, and
removed when the match was over.
The 48-by-28-foot home is delivered
on wheels in two 14-foot sections,
she said, then lifted into position by
crane. It can be removed by crane,
and trucked away on wheels when
no longer needed, she said.
The Magees wanted a higher
quality home that would not
depreciate in value as quickly as a
mobile home, Thompson said. It
would be set on a permanent
foundation.
The foundation caused concern for
councillor Mark Beaven. “The
reason we had concerns,” he said of
the November decision, “is that it
(the modular home) goes beyond
being temporary. We may have a
fight on our hands to get it moved 10
years down the line.”
Nancy Michie, administrator,
clerk-treasurer, explained that
Sandra Weber, the municipality’s
designated planner from the Huron
County Planning Department, would
recommend allowing the second
home if a temporary use by-law was
passed limiting the temporary
dwelling to a maximum of 10 years
with an opportunity for an extension
if the council of that time agreed.
There would also need to be a
signed development agreement with
the property owner that required
removal of the house at the owner’s
expense, when it is no longer
required.
Planning approval would also
depend on clustering the new home
with existing buildings so that it
would be no closer to a neighbouring
barn than the existing residence.
Councillors said they would like to
see copies of the bylaw and
agreement before agreeing to allow
the Magees to build a modular home.
“It needs to be ironclad”, Beaven
said, warning that any precedent
might be exploited by other
throughout the two municipalities.

The third meeting of the Central
Huron Swine club was held on June
1 at the Winthrop United Church.
Members read through a chapter
in their books that discussed
standard floor space depending on
all ages and stages of swine. They
also talked about different loading
techniques for swine.
The fourth meeting took place at
the home of the Ryan family in
Mount Carmel on June 29.
Members headed out to the barn to
judge pigs and share tips and
different techniques on how to
handle pigs at the fair.
All the clubs in the county will be
able to practise their judging skills
on Aug. 1 at the Seaforth
fairgrounds for the county-wide
judging day.
