Reusing an old sports space
Quidditch, a sport that was born in the pages of J.K.
Rowling's Harry Potter universe, has been brought to life by
imaginative athletes from across the world. During the
recent Festival of Wizardry held at the Blyth Campground,
quidditch teams took over a former soccer field to put on
an exciting display of the sport. Above, teams from Ryerson
and McGill universities faced off. (Quinn Talbot photo)
Trudeau visits Alice Munro
At Central Huron Council's Oct. 2
meeting, Mayor Jim Ginn discussed
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's
recent visit to the municipality.
Without public notice or fanfare,
Trudeau and his wife Sophie quietly
travelled to Clinton to visit with
author Alice Munro in late
September.
The Trudeaus were in Huron
County for the International
Plowing Match in Walton and
arrangements were made for the
family to meet with Munro at her
home.
The visit was said to be over an
hour long and Trudeau would
eventually post a picture from the
visit on his Twitter page.
The Trudeaus were in Walton for
the IPM, arriving in the late morning
hours on Sept. 22. The Prime
Minister tried his hand at plowing
under the tutelage of Walton's Brian
McGavin and then the family
travelled to the main stage to speak
during the Queen of the Furrow
speeches.
An important stop

and Rural Expo in Walton last month, Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau and his wife Sophie visited Nobel Laureate Alice
Munro, right, in her home in Clinton. (Justin Trudeau Twitter photo)
They then travelled to Clinton to
meet Munro before the Prime
Minister was due back in Toronto
that afternoon for a meeting with the
President of the Ukraine, Petro
Poroshenko.

In Isaiah 58: 10, we read, "If you
spend yourselves in behalf of the
hungry and satisfy the needs of the
oppressed, then your light will rise
in the darkness and your night will
become like the noon day."
Harvest time is fast approaching
and our 20 acres of corn at George
and Elizabeth Procter's will soon be
combined and sent for eventual sale.
This is our 16th year of participating
in the program and we are looking
forward to making another
significant donation to the Canadian
Foodgrains Bank to help address the
issue of world hunger.
Since the inception of the project,
we have donated over $261,000 to
the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. This
has to be one of the most cost-
effective Outreach programs that we
can participate in because of the
approximated 4:1 contribution of
funds from the Government of
Canada International Development
Agency. With our local contributions
being topped up by the federal
government, we have contributed
well over $1 million to battle world
hunger.
Please, if you have not already
done so, consider making a donation
to the Community Growing Project.
A cheque made out to Knox United
Belgrave and indicating on your
cheque or envelope that it is for the
Growing Project or Foodgrains
Bank would be very much
appreciated. We welcome any and
all who would like to give us a
helping hand with this worthwhile
project. This can be your way of
helping alleviate some of the misery
and suffering in the world. "For I
was hungry and you gave me
something to eat. I was thirsty and
you gave me something to drink. I
was a stranger and you invited me in,
(Matthew 25:35).

FROM BELGRAVE
OFA pushes for new action plan
Continued from page 11
opportunity for Canada to boost
inclusive economic growth.
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) brings this
message to our provincial
government — that Ontario's agri-
food sector can and will be a driver
of inclusive growth across the
province. Our vision of economic
growth includes distributed
development opportunities that will
spread wealth across the province. It
will be based on the agri-food
sector's vast potential but also
include other economic development
across our communities.
What Ontario needs is an action
plan to build on our agri-food
strength and to support opportunities
in our communities through strategic
investment.
The OFA continues to remind the
Ontario government of all the
reasons that investing in agriculture
and our communities is an
investment that will benefit all
Ontarians. The Barton Report and
the bounty of our harvest reminds us
of Ontario's endowments and
strengths as sources of inclusive
growth and opportunities for
producing prosperity.
properties in the village changed
from village residential — low
density (VR1) to village
residential — medium density (VR2).
The properties in question are
located on the east side of Queen
Street at the south end of the village.
The property had previously owned
by the municipality and had been
considered as a possible location for
a Morris-Turnberry fire hall during
contract negotiations regarding the
Fire Department of North Huron.
According to the report from
Burns, one quadruplex is proposed
on the properties and subject to site
plan control, however the proposed
rezoning would allow two
quadruplexes.
The planning department was
supportive of the project, however
its recommendation was to defer the
project to allow the applicant time to
submit an updated site plan.
"We're recommending deferral
until we get approval from [Morris-
Turnberry Chief Building Official
Kirk Livingston]," Burns said. "We
are a bit concerned for the septic
system... and want to make sure
there is enough space for it."
Burns said it would be difficult to
determine the impact of the project
without the proper septic system
information.
Councillor Dorothy Kelly said she
wanted to make sure the project
could proceed as quickly as possible
and asked if it could be brought to
council's Oct. 17 meeting. Mayor
Paul Gowing said it could, but a
special meeting of council could
also be called to receive the
recommendation as well.
Administrator Clerk -Treasurer
Nancy Michie explained that
Livingston was currently in the
United States and hoped that he
could review the documentation and
have a suggestion back to the
municipality and county in a day or
so.
A motion to defer commenting on
the zoning application was carried.
