where the manure holding tank for
the barn would be located, and Bos
said that it would to go under the
barn.
Palmer also asked Simpson where
a “line would be drawn” in reducing
minimum distance setbacks, saying
that 435 metres was much closer
than the suggested 588 metres.
Simpson said there is no “hard
line” when it comes to setback
reductions and that each one
depends on circumstances. She said
in this case, for example, the barn
was only impacting two other
buildings.
Palmer, looking to address
Brigham’s concerns about the smell
associated with pig manure, asked
Bos if manure had been spread on
the field before. Bos said that the
farm has been the site of many
different types of manure
application, including the town of
Wingham’s sludge, all of which
would stop if the structure was built.
Palmer said he would like to see
best practices to reduce odours when
possible, at which point Brigham
said the current state of her home
during manure spread was
“disgusting”, adding it had literally
caused visitors to vomit.
Bos’ wife Sandra asked if she
could speak to the issue, saying that
she felt Brigham wasn’t being fair in
her representation of the issue. She
explained that she had approached
Brigham weeks before the issue was
brought to council, asking if the
build would be an issue. According
to Sandra, Brigham first acquiesced
to the build, but then later changed
her mind. She went on to say that,
with the proposed setbacks, she
wondered if any 100-acre farms
could host any agricultural structure
in the area.
After Bos and Simpson fielded
questions about the timeline and
entry to the property, council
eventually recommended approval
of the issue, but not before Palmer
suggested that a baseline reading of
Brigham’s water be taken so any
degradation of water quality could
be monitored.
Continued from page 21
two other Jewish Apostles and the
use of sheep and lambs is constantly
used as a reference for good animals
in biblical text.
The demons are swept away and
die in the lake along with the pigs to
state that Jesus cleared the area of
evil spirits and demons.
That the gentleman is made to
remain and teach his story, is the
message for us today. We are to
spread the Good News of Jesus
Christ. Regardless of our history or
our past. As a matter of fact, your
history and your story are the most
important part of spreading the
Good News. It holds great religious
value.
We are all troubled and impure.
We have all been tormented by
demons of one kind or another, some
of us far worse that others, but we
are all sinful people.
Jesus knows this, and he will cast
out whatever evil demon possesses
you and will rid you of the burden it
can cause.
Christ will find you, even in a
place far, far away, across the lake or
even an ocean and He will confront
you and treat you with dignity
requesting your name and cast out
your demon if you just ask. Jesus
will find you wherever society or the
local residents have placed you. He
is constantly with us all, always near
us at the moment of prayer.
Allow for Christ to meet with you
personally, rid you of the pain you
have been carrying for far too long
and allow for the demon to be cast
out and away from your life then go
to town, the community, your family
and tell them of the grace you have
received.
This story originally to me was
all about the demon and the pigs,
but it is about you and me. We are
to prophesy about the gift Jesus
has given to us and to the man by
the cemetery, across the lake far,
far away.
