At their Nov. 18 meeting, Morris-
Turnberry councillors took a second
look at a Turnberry Ward couple’s
request to erect a modular home as a
second temporary home on their
farm, but in the long run their
decision was the same as before: no.
At their Nov. 4 meeting,
councillors declined to support the
desire of David and Lynne Magee to
build a modular home on their
Wingham-area farm as a second
residence for the couple’s daughter
and her family. The family was
needed to work on the farm, the
Magees said.
Councillors said the Magees could
put a double-wide mobile home on
the farm but worried about the
permanence of a modular home as a
second home.
At the Nov. 18 meeting, Nancy
Michie, administrator clerk-
treasurer, explained to council that a
new option had been suggested
based on policies in Ashfield-
Colborne-Wawanosh and the
Municipality of Kincardine. The two
municipalities register an agreement
on title that the owners of a second
farm residence will remove it when
it is no longer needed for farm help.
In Kincardine’s case, they also
require a deposit to cover the cost of
moving the house in case the owners
later say they can’t afford to remove
it from their farm.
Michie said the Huron Countyplanning department had indicated itcould support a zoning amendment
that included such a clause. The
Magees had not been told of this
possibility, she said.
The new proposal split councillors
on two sides of the issue.
Councillor Mark Beaven said he
could appreciate the effort to come
up with a compromise solution but
“I’m still concerned about the legal
precedent”. He noted that a modular
home is a building that is meant to
be moved one time, and then be in a
permanent spot but a mobile home is
built to be taken to different
locations.

BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Nov. 23 were Barb and
Terry Richmond. Ushering were
Brenda and Lori Brooks, Nicole and
Rob Mason. Guest musicians were
Audibly Awesome.
The United Church Women’s
meeting is on Nov. 27. It is a potluck
dinner. Joan and Lavern Clark will
show their pictures of their trip this
summer to Europe.
Rev. Gary Clark welcomed
everyone to church on this bright
sunny morning. The opening praise
was musical numbers by Audibly
Awesome (Lobb family) consisting
of Sweet Bye and Bye, Farther
Along and Let the Sun Shine In with
the congregation joining in on the
chorus.
The prayer of approach was
followed by the gospel lesson,
Matthew 1: 1-17 read by David Onn.
The children were asked to come
and meet Rev. Clark in the
middle aisle. They lined up in a
straight row and were asked to yell
their names in a bowl Rev. Clark
passed to them. He then made the
bowl sing by running a mallet
around the edge of the bowl. If they
listened carefully, he said they may
hear their name being sung.
Rev. Clark’s message to the adults
was, Now Who Do You Belong
To? In small towns when
people meet someone they
have not met before they are
usually asked who their mother
and father were. Ancestors give
knowledge and wisdom.
Jacob because of his
unfaithfulness had many
sleepless nights whereas Ruth,
because of her faithful life,
was blessed with her family’s
support. Walk forward in faith, God
will always be there, said Rev.
Clark. Blessings should be
shared with others and keep faith in
God.
Audibly Awesome favoured the
congregation with more songs, Love
Lifted Me Up, Just a Closer
Walk with Thee, In the Garden,
Why Me Lord and Old Rugged
Cross.
The final song sung was, I’ll Fly
Away with congregation joining in
with the chorus.
Audibly Awesome sang grace
before everyone was invited
downstairs for lunch and fellowship.
Saturday, Nov. 29 is family fun
night, Nov. 30 is the fundraiser for
Bikes 4 Humanity. Special guests
are Men of Note and Women of
Notable. The suggested donation
is $10.
