There are currently 5 Municipal Plans (Wards of Brussels, Grey, McKillop, Seaforth & Tuckersrnith). The goals are to review and combine these plans to create one. new Official Plan for Huron East. This is also an opportunity to conduct the required 5 Year Review of Municipal Plans as required by the Province. Public discussion meetings will be held in 2 locations in late November and you are invited to attend and participate. Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2001 at 7:30 p.m. at the Seaforth Agriplex or Thursday, Nov. 29, 2001 at 7:30 at the Brussels, Morris & Grey Community Centre, in Brussels The Land Use Plan includes policies in the following land use categories: Agriculture; Natural Environment; Extractive Resources; Institutional; Recreational; and Urban. Some questions to think about in preparation for this meeting are as follows: • What do you consider the most important land use issue facing Huron East today? IN Agriculture is an important component of the Huron East economy. What should be done to protect the land base and support successful agricultural operations? • The agricultural operations in Huron East vary in size and type. What is an appropriate minimum lot size to ensure flexibility and the long-term future of agriculture? • One of the three former township plans permits surplus farm residential severances. Should this type of severance be permitted in Huron East? II Land use policies have historically protected woodlots and wetlands and encouraged the reforestation of marginal lands. What else needs to be done in this area? Are there local features we should be protecting? II Aggregate (gravel & sand) is a valuable resource in Huron East and should be protected. Should all aggregate deposits be identified? II Should rural institutional uses be directed to urban areas? • Current rural recreational uses in Huron East include a golf course`and a campground. Should further recreational development be promoted? How? III The urban settlements in Huron East range from towns and villages with full water and sewer services to hamlets with public water and private sewage or private water and sewage. How should growth occur? What is the right mix of uses? Please contact the Huron East Municipal Office at 527-0160 for more information. PAGE 10. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2001. • Letter from Jerusalem Group sees moving presentation by The Two Women By Sandra Clark This has been another busy week. The classes are loaded with new ideas and the touring we do is study related with lectures included. We spend at least six hours a day in class and often more in the form of lec- tures, films, etc. The big event this week for many of us was a presentation by The Two Women. One was a Palestinian women and the other an Israeli Jew. A few of us were teary-eyed or more by the end or so deeply touched that it would be hard to put it into words. Claudette is a mother who told us about raising children in this atmos- Mabel's Moms met at their regular time on Wednesday, Nov. 14. Those who attended were Kim Higgins and Shelby; Crystal Agombar, Nicholas, Gage and Curtis Weber. Their topic was Used Vehicles. phere and trying to keep the hatred out of their hearts. At about eight the boy voiced the ambition to grow up and shoot an Israeli soldier. She found out when speaking with him that a young schoolmate had been shot by a soldier and that was his method of trying to deal with it. The Israeli woman (I'm ashamed to say her name has gone out of my head at this moment) lost her young daughter to a suicide bomber. Her talk was very moving and her courage is obvious. One point she made was that when a prominent government official came to offer condolences she hid in her room Seven tables of euchre were in play at the Belgrave Women's Institute on Wednesday, Nov. 14. Winners were: high lady, Viola Adams; second high lady, Jean Pattison; most lone hands, Norma Moore; low lady, Jane Grasby; high man, John Norman; second high man, Eileen Miller; most lone hands, Aden Edgar; low, Mervyn Schneider. The next euchre is Nov. 21. The Belgrave United Church Beef Supper is Wednesday, Nov. 21 with sittings at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are available from Lome Campbell 357-2489, Ken Procter 887-9638 or any board of stewards member. because she couldn't bear to speak with him and she didn't want his condolences. Both of these women feel that the real enemy is hatred and evil and that only a groundswell of opposi- tion to this whole situation will accomplish anything. What doesn't get in the news is the fact that the everyday people just want peace. There are many groups working very hard at spreading this word. Apparently there are a couple of thousand young people in the Gaza who have formed a group to work toward peace. They feel that the politicians don't have a strong will to be humble enough to do what it will take to accomplish an agreement. We have been to Beer She'eva, Arad (to see an archaeological dig), and to Shechem where the Ark of the Covenant was returned to the Hebrews. We also went to Ashkelon on this same trip where we waded and swam in the Mediterranean. It was very warm and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Ashkelon is one of the five cities the Ark travelled to while in the hands of the Philistines who suffered terrible bodily grievances while it was in their possession. We leave at 6 a.m. for four days in the Galilee where we will stay at a resort kibbutz called Ein Gev. The pace-will be a bit more leisurely but the studies will go on with lectures, liturgies (usually beautiful) and edu- cational touring. Shalom.
