PEOPLE AROUND

The annual meeting of the
Cranbrook Hall board took place and
other than Graeme MacDonald,
Councillor of Huron East, no one
attended from the community. It was
a short and briskly managed meet-
ing.
If it was disappointing not to see
anyone attending, at least we have
the knowledge that in the running of
the hall business the community is
involved. The euchre parties are run
by volunteers and will continue to be
run well into April. And the dart
game evenings are also run by vol-
unteers every Wednesday and will
continue for the month of March. So
we cannot complain that the commu-
nity is not interested in their hall.
Last Friday eight tables of euchre
played.
Results were: high lady, Iola
Subject; high man, Lloyd Weber;
low lady, Brenda Perrie; low man,
Allan Edgar; lone hand, Isabelle
Craig, Marion Harrison and Eileen
Mann; • travelling lone hand, Tom
Stevens; tally cards, Beryl Smith,
John Subject, Linda Stevens, Lloyd
Smith and Kathleen Whaley; 50/50,
Keith Turnbull.
The next party is to be held March
16 at 8 p.m. at the Cranbrook Hall.
I visited the twins and they are
doing well. They are just getting to
the stage where they are crawling to
points of interest. Evelyn crawls
with great skill and even though she
does not always go in the direction
she wants she generally gets some-
where interesting from which she
needs to be taken away to safer
places. Benjamin also "crawls" but
usually like a crab sideways and
going nowhere in particular.
As I was driving to work today I
noticed a blue heron fishing in the
river near the Newry Road Bridge at
the Grey Twp. shed. Going into
Listowel I saw Canadian geese fly-
ing high in the sky. The direction
was north. Could spring be far off?
I am awaiting the arrival of the
swans in the field south of
Cranbrook. When they arrive it
feels like real spring!

The Twp. of North Huron council
approved two zoning bylaws at the
March 5 meeting for the ward of
East Wawanosh.
Community Nursing Services will
be using the former municipal office
as a business site.
Clerk-Administrator John Stewart
said that the zoning for this would
remain as is, but needed to be
amended so that the building could
be used for a business office.
Stewart said that while there had
been no real concerns expressed
about the proposed changes, there
had been some comments made on
behalf of the Community Centre
board that such things as sewer and
water be addressed.
"Those things will have to be
given some consideration in time,"
said Stewart.
Also, he said, the business was
hoping this could be finalized as
soon as possible so that the owners
might be able to go in and do some
renovations in order to have it ready
by April 1.
Councillor Archie MacGowan
noted, however, that there is a 20-
day appeal period for the zoning,
meaning that any work done could
be for nothing. "I can't see it hap-
pening, but strange things do occur."
Stewart said that the owners were
aware of this possibility. "They
know that if they start to paint and
someone takes this to the OMB they
could be out that gallon of paint."
The other zoning change for Ralph
Logan at Conc. 11, Lot 31 of East
Wawanosh was to change the prop-
erty from general agriculture to gen-
eral agriculture special zone.
There were no concerns with this
zoning.
