LEI’S LANDSCAPE
BY CATHY EARL
The first meeting of Ethel I
“Let’s Landscape” 4H club was
held at Beth Earl’s. After filling in
their membership cards, members
opened the meeting with the 4H
pledge. They went through the
objectives of the club in their 4H
booklet. The election of officers
was held and they are as follows:
president, Melanie Vermeer; vice-
president Sue Terpstra; press re
porters Cathy Earl and Amy Terp
stra; leader Beth Earl and youth
leader, Sandy Earl.
Beth Earl welcomed all new
members and then took them on a
tour of her flower beds and shrubs.
They picked out the good and
bad points and gave some ideas to
improve her plants. They closed
with the 4H motto and snacked on
vegetables and dip.
The second meeting of the Ethel
I bushwhackers was held at Amy
Terpstra’s on May 29. The mem
bers opened the meting with the
4H pledge. Beth Earl gave mem
bers a house plant and they were to
landscape the plans with ideas they
had learned already. When they
were finished they could look at the
real landscaping of the house and
see how close they were. Mrs.
Terpstra took members for a tour of
her landscaping around their home
and pool.
The youth leader, Sandy Earl
conducted a contest. They were to
tell what was wrong with the
landscaping around a home. The
meeting closed with the 4H motto.
The hostess gave them some fruit
to munch on. The Ethel Bushwack-
ers will be touring Brickman's
nursery on June 5.
are in the northern part of the
county, a report submitted to
Huron County Council June 1
shows.
The report, prepared by the
county’s department of Planning
and Development will be sent to
the Ministry of Municipal Affairs
and the Ministry of Natural Re
sources as the county’s reponse to
the draft Wetlands Policy State
ment released by the two mini
stries.
The report shows that 10,700
hectares of Huron County, (about
three per cent of the area), are
classified as significant wetlands.
MORE AND MORE CUSTOMERS AND
COMMUNITY LEADERS AGREE:
RETAIL POSTAL OUTLETS OFFER
BETTER SERVICE FOR YOU.
“IT’S A DEFINITE ADVANTAGE
FOR US.”
Jeff Scott, businessman,
Alma, Ontario
“WE ARE VERY PLEASED
WITH THE SERVICE HERE.”
Margaret Rickert, Area Councillor,
Alma, Ontario
Councillor Margaret Rickert says the Retail Postal Outlet established
in her town, when postal services were converted to a local business,
has had a positive impact on the community.
“We need the service here and I think it’s very well used. ”
Retail Postal Outlets across the country offer Canada Post customers more access to
postal products and services. On average, hours of postal service operation
have more than doubled in communities where service has changed
from a post office to a Retail Postal Outlet operated by local business.
Thousands of rural Canadians can now purchase stamps or pick up mail
in the evening or on weekends.
West Wawanosh leads the way
with 3,000 hectares, 17 per cent of
the total area of the township. That
area includes the St. Augustine
“complex” at 546 hectares'and the
Saratoga complex at 2407 hectares
and the Anderson Creek complex at
368 hectares.
Hullett township has the Hullett
Marsh which totals 805 hectares
while Howick has the Lakelet
complex, the Clifford-Harriston
wetlands (shared with Minto) and
the Wroxeter area (shared with
Turnberry).
Hullett Reeve Tom Cunningham
pointed out that under the propos
Canada Post Corporation is delivering on its promise.
We’re in rural Canada to stay.

ed government policy buildings in
lands adjacent to the wetlands
would be treated as legally non
conforming, meaning they could
remain but could not be expanded
or replaced. “It looks like we are
ig to penalize those who happen
to fall within the no development
zone,” he said. Such people would
need an official plan change (an
expensive process) to put on a new
porch, he said.
Dr. Gary Davidson, director of
Planning and Development pointed
out that although the ministries are
recommending this, use of local
variances is a municipal matter, not
a provincial one. Reeve Cunning
ham then moved an amendment to
the county position, pointing out
that the use of variances was a
local, not provincial option. The
amendment carried.
