(North Huron Citi- zen Photo) Dear Editor: On Sunday, Sept. 17 I had the opportunity to visit and,, spend some time in your beautiful town of Wingham. The highlight of my visit was when I met Wingham's favorite son, Mr. Earl Heywood. I was hon- ored to share the stage with this fine talent at the Royal Canadian Legion. Back in 1956 when I was going to school in Newfoundland, Earl was an Idol of mine, and I had his song books, records, and even wore a white h'at like he did back in the fifties. Today, he is 76 and he is still going strong., To share the stage with him dur- ing my visit, and shake his hand was a dream come true. This man is a legend in his own time, and the January Sentencing on, J1. A Listowel man will have to wait ry Township.

This Quebec referendum has me concerned; not so much about the outcome, but the plain and simple fact •that we let it go through. Many of the people I have spoken to over the past couple of weeks have expressed similar concerns. In the late 1930s a young man in Europe also had similar visions of his own country, somewhat di- verse from our French neighbors, but not so distinct in ambition. Many• thousands of brave men died to prevent this man from tak- ing over the lives of others. Many brave Canadian soldiers died to preserve democracy. • 'With democracy comescertain rules that we all must follow. Most of these rules apply to keep some semblance of order of, the streets. I recently had a lengthy discussion with one of my elders about this particular rule: treason. trea'son (-z-) n. (High) -, viola- tion by a subject of allegiance to sovereign or State punishable with death; breach of faith, disloy- alty, (to cause, friend,etc.). Perhaps in considering the fu- ture of our fine nation, we must remember dearly those who died to preserve our democracy and protect us from treason, We at least owe them that much. TEEB.WATER--Vi't1age council has agreed to a review of its official plan, to be conducted later this year and early in 1996. A representative of the Bruce County Planning Department will assist village council with the pre- liminary review, estimated to take three months. Teeswater's plan has not been reviewed since the early people of Wingham as well as across this great country of Canada should be very proud of him. I also think that Mayor Don Carter and council would benefit a whole lot from Mr. Heywood if Mr. Heywood was presented with a special award on behalf of all the hard work he has done for the Town of Wingham through his mu- sic and songs, and by starting the Wingham Barn Dance Historical Foundation. He is also a great hu- manitarian. Thanks for letting me take up a little of your valued time, but I just had to let you know of my respect for this man. Yours sinceely Michael T. Wall The Singing Newfoundlander. • 1980s. The. Bruce planning department does not charge for its services dur- ing a preliminary review, However, if an updated version is required, and most believe changes will need to be made, it could cost the munic- ipality as' much as $15,000, using figures from a recent comparable plan review in Mildmay.
