The Land Use Plan includes policies for the following types of land
use: Agriculture; Natural Environment; Extractive Resources;
Institutional; Highway Commercial; Commercial/Industrial and Urban.
Some questions to think about in preparation for these
meetings are:
• What do you consider important land use issues facing
Morris-Turnberry?
• Agriculture is an important component of the Morris-Turnberry
economy. What should be done to protect the land base and
support successful agricultural operations?
• The agricultural operations in Morris-Turnberry vary in size
and type. What is an appropriate minimum lot size to ensure
flexibility and the long-term future of agriculture?
• Land use !policies have historically protected woodlots and
wetlands and encouraged the reforestation or marginal lands.
What else needs to be done in this area? Are there local
features we should be protecting?
• Aggregate (gravel & sand) is a valuable resource in Morris-
Turnberry. Should all aggregate deposits be identified?
• Should rural institutional uses be directed to urban areas?
• Should future recreational development be promoted? How?
• The urban settlements in Morris-Turnberry have a variety of
servicing levels. How should growth occur? What is the right
mix of uses?

It seemed a • trifle strange on
Sunday to be watching the Indycar
Series race from Arizona while
snowsqualls raged in southwestern
Ontario. Old man winter is still
teasing us but the beginning of the
race season and Blue Jay reports out
of Florida signal spring is not too far
away. •
Geese, which. I'm sure didn't
wander far from Huron County, are
again honking overhead.
Literacy day
at HCPS
Results of the province's testing
through the EQAO tests
administered to Grades 3 and 6
identified the need for greater
emphasis in the Avon Maitland
District School board on reading and
literacy. Schools in the board have
been finding ways to make this area
of learning interesting to their pupils.
On Wednesday, March 10, Hullett
Central Public School staff and
students gathered in the gym and
heard Rob Bundy tell how the book
given to him as a child inspired him
to become a writer and world
traveller. That book was Treasure
Island by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Mr. Bundy writes for the Focus
magazine and often has columns in
other local papers. He was written
about his extensive travelling.
Rob has also acted at the Blyth
Festival and dabbled in playwriting.
The students were divided into
mixed-age groups and rotated
through four workshops organized
by the teachers and the afternoon's
four guests. Rob Bundy conducted a
writing workshop. Jeff Walraven
spoke to each group about the
importance of literacy in his

On the fourth Stpday of Lent, the
Lenten Tenebrae was offered by
Helen Dale and Joan Whyte. They
snuffed the fourth candle and hung a
sheaf of wheat on the cross.
Rev. Pat Cook asked the children
what they felt was the right thing to
do when someone hurts their feelings
or lets them down. Secondly she
wondered what course of action they
would "Suggest.if that person realizes
their mistake and apologizes.
God, of course, forgives trespasses
as often as He is often asked to. Thus
Christians should forgive others in
the same way.
This led into the fourth hand action
of The Lord's Prayer. When all
actions had been reviewed the prayer
was repeated in unison by the whole
congregation.
John and Barb Jewitt favoured the
congregation with a duet, Where the
Roses Never Fade.
In the responsive psalm, Psalm 32;
David marvels that when he
confesses to God, He forgave David
his guilt.
The gospel reading, Luke 15: 1-3
and 11-32, held the text for Rev.
Cook's message, Returning Home.
This passage is the parable of the
prodigal son. Prodigal means
recklessly wasteful and extravagant.
His way of life after he left home
the run to Lord Stanley's Cup. When
did hockey become a rite of spring?
As an aside, the NHL needs to be
reminded that hockey is a televised
game not a television production. It's
time to clamp down on hockey
violence and remind those
professional athletes they are the
idols/examples for scores of young
players. Violence can be found most
evenings on any number of dramas.
Let's not sell our national sport for
the ratings game.
made the young son prodigal. Upon
his return to his father's home, the
father's extravagant celebration was
also prodigal with love.
The son was not contrite or
sbrrowful and gave no consideration
to his father's broken heart. The
festivities were to celebrate that what
was lost was found and that his
family had been reunited. A wayward
son had returned and the father gave
his blessing of love and forgiveness.
Sunday service is a celebration of
God's love to all. He is always ready
to embrace, welcome, love and
forgive.
The ladies of the Cheerio Club
celebrated St.. Patrick's Day by
meeting at Today's Variety for a
noon meal Most of the women
shared their Irish spirit by the
"wearing of the green".
The group stayed on at the
restaurant for their afternoon
together.
Dorothy Johnston began the
FROM LONDESBORO
meeting with a Gaelic prayer. Along
with many cheerful Irish stories, the
women tested their knowledge of
things Irish.
The March gift of the month, won
by Mary East, was donated by
Edythe Beacom.
Card playing was also enjoyed.
The club will meet again on April
21.
The calendar says spring is here
and the number of notes already on
mine says the busy days are just
getting started. Have you marked
yours for the Lions breakfast on
April 4, the school auction April 8
and the Songfest on April 18?
Easter celebrations will bring
families together to rejoice over the
end to the dark days of Lent.
