"Council needs to get off the pot and make a decision," said Councillor Archie MacGowan at the Sept. 3 meeting. "We just can't keep putting it off." The heritage building committee has been working since late 2001 to develop a plan for the future of four historical Wingham sites - the library, town hall, old post office and the armouries. The group met with historical architect John Rutledge in June _to come up with a plan. However, council has not made a decision on some of Rutledge's rec- ommendations. In fact, council has- n't even let Rutledge make recom- mendations as of yet. During the council meeting, Reeve Doug Layton told MacGowan, who sits on the committee, that a man from the police association had looked at some preliminary blue- prints by Winghamyolice Chief Jim Dore to expand into the rest of the Armouries. Layton suggested that they should let an area architect develop those blueprints on comput- er instead of going with Rutiedge. !I-hen you may as well dissolve the committee which is fine because it's a waste of my time," MacGowan responded in frustration. MacGowan said he was worried about kee*g the historical features about the building. Councillor Murray Nesbitt said they shouldn't just jump the gun but that council should look into the future costs down the road to keep the armouries open. He suggested council look at tearing down the armouries and the costs of building a totally new police station. "I don't think we should throw out the heritage buildings here," said Councillor Murray Scott. Yet, Scott of East Wawanosh said he still had a hard time understanding why Wingham ward wanted its own force when there was an OPP station right in town. "To me we got jerked around on that decision," Scott said. However, MacGowan said that was what the people of Wingham wanted, voted for and were willing to pay for.

Clerk-Administrator John Stewart said that tearing down the armouries would not be very simple as it is des- ignated as a historical site. He told council that the need for more office space was pretty desperate in town hail as Treasurer Donna White does- n't have her own office. Stewart explained that perhaps that Public Works Director Bob Thompson could move his office into the armouries and White move into Thompson's office. "I see a real need being at the treasury," Stewart said. However Stewart said that a lot has changed since the heritage build- ing committee started. The nursery school has moved out of the old post office and the North Huron Museum given use of the first floor. Also, when the committee was formed it thought the police would be disband- ed and moving out of the armouries. "You'd think it would make it easier but it doesn't," Stewart said. Councillor Arnold Taylor agreed with MacGowan's sentiments. "We've been sitting here for months and months and months stalling on this," Taylor said. Taylor suggested that the public be involved on what they want the Office at 1-800-567-1600 or 1-519- 273-1600. PAL Stratford is the first regional chapter of PAL Canada.

However it was Councillor Jeff Howson who finally suggested that something be done. "Have we seen an actual figure?" Howson asked. MacGowan responded that there wasn't approval to even give costs yet. Howson made a motion to invite Rutledge to make a presentation to council to answer questions. He said the meeting would be to get a price and then compare it with a local architect. The motion was approved unani- mously after half an hour of discus- sion with one stipulation. Layton added that an entire meeting be devoted to Rutledge. Join Pooh and friends at Blyth Festival MI MI LT M T E I X MacGowan asks for decision
