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.

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.
Reeve Elliott .said that he
thought the township would lose
tax revenue on the airstrip, but

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.
Joanne admits she does not know
what kind of interest there will be

By JIM BROWN
The Advance -Times
Wingham and Brussels will be
just two of the 3,600 communities
across Canada celebrating the 15th
annual Terry Fox Run for Cancer
Research on Sunday, Sept. 17.
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. Terry called his run
The Marathon of Hope and raised
$24,17 -million for cancer re-
search.
• "Cancer has touched the lives
of so many of us," says Martha
McClew, Ontario director of the
Terry Fox Foundation. "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. With the advances being
made in cancer research there is
every reason to believe that the
funds raised by our wonderful par-
ticipants are truly Making a differ,
ence,"
In 1994, Ontario raised a record
$3:13 million with a record 275;000
participants. All funds lire allocat-
ed to the National Cancer Institute
of Canada. A total of $'O:4 million
