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 pears with Andrea Barstad throughout the play as the featured 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 Obituaries. ANTONE HENRY SIEMON Antone Henry Siemon, formerly of Seaforth, died Monday, July 31, 1989 at the Ritz Villa in Mitchell.
