Morris meeting considers Belgrave expansion
A public meeting was held in
Morris Township on Tuesday,
August 1, to discuss a secondary
plan amendment that would see the
boundary for Belgrave extended
south for residential purposes.
The meeting was held in the
hopes that all concerned could
comment on the proposed plan,
which will go before the county
planning committee in September
then to the province for final
approval.
Attending the meeting were
Wayne Caldwell of county planning
department; Huron County Ward
en Dave Johnston, who was repre
senting the planning committee;
Composer creates original music for plays
The Blyth Festival, known for the
creation of new plays, showcases
the talents of actors, directors,
designers, technicians and com
posers. This season, original music
was composed for productions of
“Sticks and Stones” by musician
Michael Taylor and the music of
John Roby is featured in “The Mail
Order Bride” by Robert Clinton
and “The Dreamland” by Ray
mond Storey.
James Reaney’s special collage
of the Donnelly family history in
“Sticks and Stones” is told through
music, dance, choral chanting,
children’s games, soliloquies,
plays-within-plays and mime. Com
poser and musical director Michael
Taylor has created original music
for “Sticks and Stones”. He ap

the applicant Jack Van Camp and
his planning advisor Bob Hewines;
Mr. and Mrs. Clare Van Camp; Mr.
and Mrs. Howie Morton; George
Michie; and Don Procter.
According to Mr. Caldwell the
proposal would change the design
ation of part of Lot 1, Con. 5 from
restricted agriculture to urban. It
would also enlarge the restricted
agriculture designation south by
approximately 2,000 feet.
Mr. Caldwell states that the
Ontario Ministry of Natural Re
sources and the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority have voic
ed no objections to the proposed
subdivision. The Ministry of Trans
portation and the Ministry of the
musicians. Based in Stratford, Mr.
Taylor has been in the music
business for over twenty years,
starting as a founding member of
Humphrey and the Dumptrucks, a
folk band from Saskatoon. His
latest theatrical involvement in
cludes “West Memphis Mojo” for
Theatre Passe Muraille and “No
Worries” for Young People’s Thea
tre.
“The Dreamland”, written by
Raymond Storey and John Roby
features original music by John
Roby, styled on music from 1933.
“My influences for the show’s
music were from those outstanding
writers and musicians, Duke Ell
ington, Fats Waller and Hogey
Carmichael”, says Roby. “You
don’t get any better writers than
that! Along with the thirties style of
Environment have no comments.
However, he added that the
Ministry of Agriculture and Foods
have asked for justification as to
why 21 acres of prime agricultural
land should be taken out of
production. OMAF wants to know
if there is a necessity for the
change and if alternate sites could
not be considered.
Mr. Caldwell pointed out that the
application has merit as it is next to
an already developed urban area.
Also he mentioned that there is not
much vacant land available in
Belgrave and there is a demand for
it.
Mr. Hewines asked for council’s
support from the Ministry of Trans
music, Ray btorey and 1 do some
thing more. We take the music and
use it in counterpoint against the
play’s story. For instance, you’ll
have a swing melody in opposition
to a fight, creating a very theatrical
image. We also use the big
production numbers, characteristic
of the thirties on the Blyth stage -
involving up to 33 people on
stage.”
“The rftusic for The Mail Order
Bride can be described as inciden
tal music” says composer John
Roby. “For this particular play, I
started off writing a musical theme
for each character and then took it
from thqre. It’s much like writing a
film score - I get the timing from
the director and write music to fit -
just like in films, but film work pays
eight times more than theatre for
the same amount of work.”
portation which has not yet granted
an access onto Highway 4.
During the discussion that fol
lowed the meeting, Mr. Morton
questioned Huron County’s stance
on development around built-up
areas, even on prime farm land.
“You won’t have trouble justifying
this (the proposal) to the county,”
he said. “You don’t care that this is
the best farmland, just that it’s
adjacent to an existing urban
area.”
Mr. Caldwell defended the stand
saying that development is better
to occur around built-up areas
rather than helter-skelter through
out the township.
Reeve Doug Fraser mentioned
that everywhere you go good farm

Mr. Morton asked when the new
subdivision will be started if all
goes according to plan and Mr.
Hewines said that he hopes phase
one can begin next spring with
building commencing by mid
summer.

subdivision with the developer,
including such items as roads,
lights, service and lot size, to name
just a few.

favours the proposal, saying he
believes it is good for the township
