With Bob Fletcher and Iry Armstrong of Bob Fletcher,c Iry Armstrong Director //��GG. Director What Should A Child Be Told About Death? Do you explain Grandpa's death to your child with a fairy tale? Or do you answer truthfully, and simply, so that the child may relate his grandfather's death tofamiliarthings: flowers, for example, which live, grow, wither and finally die? We believe the flower example can be understood by a child, because it relates to things he's seen and can grasp. "Flowers," you may explain, "don't live a long time, but we like them while we have them. Grandpa lived a long time and you and he had many good times together. But, like the flowers, he too, died. We will remember him with love, won't we?" A child needs to understand that what has happened is a natural course of events like the seasons and the rising and setting of the sun. He comes closer to his family through such honest involvement, maturing as he finds his own sadness is shared and understood. Your questions and comments on this and other subjects are welcome in private or publicly through this column. The Funeral Home in Exeter who is a member of the Ontario Funeral Service Association is: IRV ARMSTRONG FUNERAL HOME RHONE 735.1770 BOB FLETCHER Huron County Council ap- proved an amendment to the county's official plan, Thurs- day, providing for a 76 unit condominium development on Bayfield Concession, just north of Bayfield. The amendment changes the land use designation and sets forth policies for the development of the area for condominiums. The developer R. Peever of London proposes a three phase development. Each phase consists of six groups with four luxury townhouse condominiums in each group. The condominiums will be sold and will likely be used as summer residences. The development will have its own recreational facilities including swim- ming pool and tennis courts. The land use designation will be changed from rural residential to urban. The amendment points out that when the Secondary Plan was prepared, the area adja- cent to the Village of Bayfield was• designated for low density residential development. Recreational development in the Bayfield River for marines and associated commercial development has led to the opportunity for higher density residential development in the form of low rise condominiums. Although the amendment allows for a density increase over the existing allowable density, the permitted densi- ty of six units per gross acre is low enough to be in keep- ing with surrounding development. The design and landscap- ing will also serve to keep the development to a "village scale." The organization of the develop- ment as condominiums in- dicates it will not unduly im- pact on the Bayfield housing market. There are several site con- cerns which were outlined to project county council by county planner Gary Davidson. The most contentious is surface and subsurface drainage. The problem, ac- cording to Davidson, is whether the faster drainage created by the development will cause increased erosion on Lakeshore property at Jowitts Grove. The developer proposes to build a storage pond which will slow the runoff of water and decrease erosion. County council recommended that drainage provisions be ensured by placing the area under site plan control and a develop- ment agreement with the Township of Goderich be entered into to control the servicing and staging of the development. Bayfield reeve George Fellows tabled a motion to clarify the agreement with the Township of Goderich asking that the agreement include the assurance of proper surface and subsur- face drainage according to the stipulations of the township engineer. Fellows said he trusts the township engineering firm, B. M. Ross and Associates, will protect the interests of the Bayfield residents at Jowitts Grove. PLAN CONCERT Over fifteen hundred Middlesex County public school students will perform at Alumni Hall, University of Western Ontario, when they present their annual spring concert on Wednesday, May 14 at 8 p.m. Among those performing will be massed choirs from twenty-four elementary schools, concert bands from Lord Dorchester and Strathroy secondary schools, string ensembles from .Southdale and Colborne Street Public Schools in Strathroy, and the award- winning choir from Medway High School.
