Nancy Michie, administrator, clerk-treasurer, told council that the Ministry of Natural Resources felt the environmental assessment that had been done to support the zoning change, did not take into account endangered species other than theWavyrayed Lampmussel which hasbeen known to be in the nearbyMaitland River.The new environmental assess- ment will likely have to wait until spring, postponing the zoning change, Michie said. *** The appeal of Don and Marian Eadie of their assessment of costs for the Baird Municipal Drain in Turnberry Ward was rejected by the drainage appeal tribunal. The costs of the appeal will be assessed to the overall cost of that branch of the Baird drain, Michie said.***Councillors received a breakdownof the $27,260 rebate for OPPpolicing costs for the January-June, 2010 period.

By Keith RoulstonThe Citizen By Mikenna Lane During the first week of Advent, the St. Anne’s Catholic Secondary School staff and students took a breath to prepare their hearts and minds for calm and patience during the Christmas hustle and bustle. Everyone celebrated the sacrament of Reconciliation on Thursday and continue to focus on the theme of “Be Inclusive and Included”. Co-op students participated in a ‘Co-op Fair’ on Nov. 30. Co- operative education allows students the experience of understanding and “getting a feel for” an occupation while receiving a recognized high school credit. Students created displays of their achievements at their co-op. Although St. Anne’s had a relatively calm week, the club goers and athletes remained as busy as ever. Students for Life ran a baby clothing drive for teen mothers and fathers. The Concert Band has toured around to local elementary schools to perform and spread Christmas cheer. The Student Cabinet is planning for Semi- Formal with a “Fun House” theme. The swim, curling, female volleyball, male basketball, and female and male hockey teams are busy practising and competing. As the Advent season has arrived, St. Anne’s God Squad members have organized an ‘Advent Project’. Each homeroom is assigned a family from Huron County, with the goal of making ‘their families’ Christmas more joyful. Students are asked to bring in gifts and supply families who might not receive any.

Larry Mercey began his solo career in early 1990 when his brothers (The Mercey Brothers) decided to retire from the music scene. His first solo album brought success with two number one hits, “She Feels Like a New Man Tonight” and “You’re Still in These Crazy Arms of Mine”. In 2004 Mercey formed the Larry Mercey Trio with talented musicians and singers George Lonsbury and Al Alderson. Randy Satchell is a familiar voice at the Wingham Heritage Theatre, having performed on stage with the Barn Dance Show on several occasions. Randy was born in Gadshill, Ontario and by age nine was performing in his father’s country band. By 14, he had started his own band, “The Town and Country Gentlemen” playing at Stratford-area weddings, reunions and outdoor festivals. Satchell has opened for David Lee Murphy, John Landry and Gil Grand and has two albums, “Memories” and “This is My Life”. Naomi Bristow is 12 years old and hails from a small farm in Beeton, Ontario. Through her family’s involvement in rodeo, she was introduced to country music as a youngster. According to her website, “her great love for classic country has lead her to self-taught yodelling.” Bristow has won the Fan’s Choice Award at the Havelock Jamboree, the Rising Star Award from the BC Cowboy Heritage Festival and The Western Music Association Youth Yodeller of the Year. Her third album titled “Ridin’ High” has just been named Best Traditional Album of the Year in the United States.
