Wawanosh council Ch . nges a'proved to the secondary plan East Wawanosh council made several minor changes to the township's secondary plan at a meeting held last Tuesday evening. The changes bring the plan that much closer to becoming a legal, working document in the township. . The township's land use plan has been in the works for almost three years. Gary Davidson and Wayne Caldwell of the county planning department at- tended last week's meeting to get council's approval for a few small recommended changes. The changes were recommended by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the agency which deals with municipal planning. They were minor and amounted to numbering changes or merely adding a word or two to a phrase. The only significant change is a new stipulation which forbids anyone from living within 500 metres of a waste disposal site. Also, no waste disposal site may be reused within 25 years of abandonment, unless the Ministry of the Environment gives its approval. Council approved the changes and Clerk - Treasurer Winona Thomp- son will send the revised plan back to the ministry for final approval. In other business, Arnold Bruce was selected as the township's new building _ inspector.-_ Out ofsix ap- --- pllcants- for the job, he was theonlyEast--Wawanosh___ - ratepayer applying. He attended a special meeting of council Monday evening to discuss wages. Doug Bishop, manager of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce to Wingham, attended to discuss his bank's 65 -cent service charge on the payment of township property taxes. Council had .three options: have the township pay the surcharge, pay a portion of it, or have the ratepayer pay the 65 cents. Council decided the ratepayers should pay the service charge them- selves. A revised severance from Mel Jermyn was turned down by council because members felt it would restrict agriculture in East Wawanosh. Even though the property in question is in Morris Township, it borders East Wawanosh, so council was asked for its comments. Mr. Jermyn submitted an application to sever two sheds from the property two months ago. East Wawanosh recommended that consent to sever not be given and the severance was turned down by the county land division committee. The revised application does not include the two sheds, but council members still felt it would restrict agriculture in both townships and upheld its earlier decision. A severance for Norman Coultes on the 10th con- cession was approved by council because the property in question will still be used for agriculture. Mr. Coultas is merely separating two Susan Tolton to open Heads Up' next week After some gentle per- suasion from friends and family, Susan Tolton of Wingham has decided to strike out and open her own hairstyling salon, "Heads Up" next Tuesday in the Mac's Milk plaza. Mrs. Tolton, who pre- viously worked at a salon in Walkerton, said she got tired of the winter driving and long hours away from her husband and three children, so she decided to open her own salon. Besides, many of her customers in Walkerton were from Wingham, so why have them drive all that way? Granted, opening a new business is a gamble, but if you don't try you never know, she said. Her biggest source of encouragement was her father, a barber, who urged her to become her own boss. She will specialize in styling, tinting, streaking and perms, as well as offer hot waxing and ear piercing. Mrs. Tolton has training in makeup application and said she hopes to get into that in the near future too. She has had extensive training in hair styling and intends to continue upgrad- ing her skills. If things go as planned, she intends to hire another experienced stylist, but stressed that person must be willing to take courses periodically too be- cause "the minute you stop learning you might as well give up." Mrs. Tolton said she ap- preciates all the support and good wishes she has received so far from the people of Wingham and will try her best to serve all their hair and beauty needs. SUSAN TOLTON of Wingham will open her new hair salon, Heads Up, next week in the Mac's Plaza on main street. She worked previously in a salon in Walkerton, but decided to venture out on her own so she will have more time to spend in Wingham with her family. She showed off her styling skills on her neighbor, Sherry Reavie, last Friday. parcels of land from 50 -acre plots back to their original use. Posthill Drainage was awarded the contract for construction of the Plaetzer Municipal Drain on Lot 33, Con. 1 and 2, The tender price was $6,676. Mrs. Thompson informed council that East Wawanosh has been awarded $4,446 in Wintario grant money for the construction of a picnic pavillion and the purchase of playground equipment for the Kinsmen park in Belgrave. The next regular meeting of East Wawanosh council is scheduled for May 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the township shed. R Maven events On March 24, the residents saw a film on Australia.
