Page 6 Resident told two applications required Severance could take several months; re -zoning quicker Steven Lubbers attended Morris Township council last Tuesday to find out if he could get some land re -zoned and ap- ply for a severance at the same time. He wanted to acquire about 1.7 acres through 'a severance from a neighbor to 'square -up' his propeerty, and then have the land re -zoned in order to have livestock on the close to five acres of land. Lubbers noted that the land is currently zoned agriculture, but with no livestock. Craig Metzger of the Huron County Planning Department, who was attending the council meeting for another matter, said two separate applications were required because two different parts of the planning act were involved. Lubbers said he does have a verbal manure agreement with his neighbor, but Metzger sug- gested that ,a written agreement — the longr the agreement the better would be more benefi- cial, than just a verbal agree- ment. He said the barn would stay because he may put livestock in it. He added that he may not put any livestock in, but he would like to have the opportunity. Lubbers noted it could be veal calves. Chief building official Paul Josling said the minimum dis- tance separate for veal calves, under the new plan is a lot less than it is right now. He noted that there were no residences really close by. Metzger suggested that Lub- bers tatk to the Huron County Health Unit before filling out consent applications. He said that a severance could take about three months to acquire, because the board does not hold regular meetings, vfhile the re -zoning could be done more quickly, because it is done through the municipal council.

Survivors group forming for brain injury victims Annual run set Himmelman resigned to accept development Zoning `still up in the air' Monis Township resident Deb- orah Himmelman has resigned herself to the fact that the road closing, Lot 16 to 24 of Conces- sion 1, for the proposed Wingham " Airport has been approved by the ,Ministry of Municipal Affairs. She told Moms Township council Friday afternoon that the decision was quite fair, but that she did all she could to have the airport stopped, , Hinunelman informed- council that even though the road closing has been approved, the issue re- garding the zoning is still "up, in the air." She added that the tender can ndt go 'diti t t d work on - Phase I of the project can begin. Reeve Bert Elliott said that be- cause the land is now owned by Wingham, they are the municipali- ty that should be concerned about the zoning. However, Himinelman said that 'because the land will be consid- ered airport property, the munici- pality will not receive any tax rev- enues, even on the land that is leased back to the farmers. Reeve, Elliott and the rest of council said they thought the tax loss would only be on the airstrip. Deputy reeve Keith Johnston said thisis something that should be looked into. "We don't want to lose that rev- enue," he said.

First meeting September 13 at WISH By MARGARET STAPLETON The Advance -Times The first impression you get of Joanne Bregman of Teeswater is that she is someone who tries very hard -- tries to ,please, tries to find the right words, tries to rebuild her life after a devastating accident al- most six years ago. Joanne is a survivor, an acquired head injury survivor to be exact. She has battled her way back from the brink of helplessness following a car crash in 1989. Since that time she has learned to speak and walk again, to think and work. It has been a slow process and she does have her days, but she's trying. Now she is ready to take another step in the long road to recovery. Joanne is organizing a support group for other brain injury survi- vors. The first meeting is Wednes- day, Sept. 13, in the rehabilitation room at Wingham and District Hos- pital. Last summer Joanne worked as a milkmaid at Irish Lake near Mark - dale. During that time she became involved with the Head Injury As- sociation of Grey -Bruce. She at- tended its meetings faithfully, but at the suggestion of her parents, Robert and Agnes Bregman, she decided to organize a local group. She sent out press releases earlier this summer to local newspapers in an attempt to spread the word.

It will be the eighth annual run in Wingham and the second year for the event in Brussels. Many Canadians remember Ter- ry Fox as the courageous young man with an artificial leg from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia who ran from St. John's, New- foundland to Thunder Bay, Onta- rio in 1980.

"People participate not only to honor Ter- ry's achievements but also for more personal and emotional rea- sons, such as the loss of a loved one.
