MVCA loses appeal to retry Cranbrook Swine case
By Sarah Caldwell
• Signal-Star
The Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority lost its appeal, on Aug.
30, to retry a case against Charles
Terpstra and Cranbrook Swine Inc.
for charges laid in relation to the
Conservation Act, for not -seeking
proper permission to build a liquid
manure storage tank on- alleged
swampland.
The original trial which lasted
three days was heard in Ontario
Superior Court in July 2000. The
justice of the peace ruled at that
time that MVCA did not prove
beyond a reasonable doubt that the
land under the manure storage was
indeed swampland. This .decision
was overturned at the appeal and
Judge Hunter agreed with the
MVCA that the land was
swampland.
MVCA lawyer Darryl Hawreliak
The Community extends deep
sympathy to Tilly Engel and her
family at the sudden loss of her
youngest son Monty. The funeral
was held on Saturday, Sept. 1 in
Seaforth, followed by burial in
Brussels. Luncheon for family and
friends was held at the Cranbrook
Community Centre.
My youngest contributor
Benjamin Fretz and his sister
Sammy told me about their holiday
in Toronto. The CN tower
said under the Conservation Act
buildings cannot be built on a pond,
swamp or floodplain without the
approval of the local conservation
authority.
The permit has not been revoked
from Terpstra and Cranbrook Swine
but there was a -stop work order
issued in September 2000.
Terpstra's del.'ence lawyer, David
Thompson said the trial was
just over a year ago and was
dismissed.
. The original appeal was to be
heard in January and it was agreed
that it be adjourned to April. "Now
here we are in August, 13 months
later," he said.
"The building permit was issued
on pure faith, now we are being told
we can't rely on the building
permit." said the defence.
"What authority is there that says
they (Terpstra and Cranbrook
Swine) have to go looking for the
was...well...very tall. The favourite
place was the Science Centre where
you can see so many interesting
things and dress up as a lion or
weight lifter and see clowns at work.
The IMAX movie about sharks
was awesome. The hotel nearby
where they stayed had a pool.
Toronto is full of bad drivers!
When they returned their grand-
parents visited and the summer holi-
days closed with some noisy fire-
works. Next week back to school! It
was a good summer holiday.
Chad and Natasha Terpstra have
their own dog now called Angus.
My Bernese Mountain dog "Sir
Hendrik of the Skunk" likes his new
neighbour very much and loves to
run across the road uninvited to play
there. Hendrik is not as well trained
as Angus. Chad and Natasha have
quite a few years ahead of them with
the responsibility of walking their
dog.
MVCA?" said the defence.
As for the land being swamp land,
the defence said it was
circumstantial evidence and even
the experts said that they are other
explanations for the findings.
"There is absolutely no doubt
through the prosecution's own -case
that this is an officially induced
error."
The MVCA could have appealed
under the Building Code Act to
appeal the building permit order
within 20 days, that is the procedure
the conservation authority should
have followed instead of "swinging
widely."
The MVCA to date has not
appealed the building official's
decision.
The judge in his ruling after a
brief recess said, "there is no
suggestion that the respondents at
any time acted in anything other
than a responsible manner, and in
gold faith went to authority and
gained a building permit to
construct the holding tank."
After construction commenced it
came to the notice of the MVCA
that the holding tank was possibly
being constructed on a swamp. Tests
were done and this added to the
belief of the MVCA that the area
was a swamp. Therefore charges
were laid.
"I'm satisfied the respondents can
rely on 'officially-induced error,—
said Hunter.
"There was no. obligation on them
to consult with other authorities and
there was nothing to suggest that
they are not entitled to rely on the
building permit," said Hunter.
The MVCA cannot now expect to
find favour in this case for breach of
the Conservation Act.
"The respondents did all they
could have done possible. The error
was committed by the building
official. 'All charges are dismissed
by the respondents," concluded
Hunter.
The MVCA was also ordered to
pay the respondents Charles
Terpstra and Cranbrook Swine Inc.
$1,000 each for costs incurred with
the appeal process.
MVCA general manager Phil
Beard said after the ruling on
Thursday, that overall he was
disappointed.
"We won on the part of it being
built on swampland but we lost on
the part that we figured we didn't
have to fight about," he said.
Beard said it is now entirely up to
the Municipality of Morris-
Turnberry and their building
inspector to decide whether or not to
revoke the stop work order that was
put in place last September.
The board of directors for the
MVCA , will meet on Sept. W, with
their lawyer to find out what other
options can be explored or. whether
the judge made -an error in
judgement, he said.
Beard said after the judgement
Thursday morning that he was
disappointed. "I don't feel manure
storage tanks should be built on
swampland that drains into the
watercourse," said Beard. In- this
case if there was a leak it would
drain into the Middle Maitland
River.
