It is sad to walk the road alone,

But you left us beautiful memories
We will treasure through the years.

County council will
watch school
zoning approvals
At the behest of Coun. Joseph Seili
(Huron East), county council's com-
mittee of the whole agreed last week
to take the reins of approving zoning
changes for the proposed school that
will straddle the municipalities of
North Huron and Morris-Turnberry.
Seili said some ratepayers are con-
cerned that the building approvals
will move forward through a rubber-
stamping process.
When county planning director
Scott Tousaw reported the present-
day policy does allow department
officials to sign off on undisputed
consents, county councillors passed
a resolution requiring all consents to
be reviewed by council with regard
to this development.
