Wightmans speak to council
Norman and Florence Wightman
attended the Sept. 2 meeting of
West Wawanosh council to express
their disappointment with the
Ontario Municipal Board (OMB)
decision regarding the placing of a
mobile home on the property at Lot
26, Cone. 4.
The issue arose in 1996 when
Brian and Alison Wightman pur
chased the farm from Brian's par
ents and applied for a building
permit to place a mobile home on
the property for the parents, Nor
man and Florence Wightman. The
elder Wightmans were to assist in
the running of the hog operation.
A building permit was issued by
the township in May, 1996.
In July, neighbour Ronald Enns
contacted the municipality about
the legality of the placement of the
home, stating he would not have
supported the zoning change appli
cation due to the home's proximity
to their bathroom, bedroom and liv
ingroom windows.
A new building inspector for the
township said the trailer did not
have the proper separation from the
Enns home, therefore requiring a
variance.
Huron County Planner Brain Tre
ble determined a zoning change
was needed due to the separation
distance from the Enns' main bam.
Treble assured Enns he could still
use his bam to capacity.
Both Brian Wightman and Enns
had told the OMB of costs incurred
in their situations, whether for
moving the trailer or improvements
to farm buildings for future use.
Hist. Soc. to unveil plaque
The Huron County Historical
Society will be holding a plaque
unveiling at Christ Church
Cemetery in Port Albert on Oct. 2
at 2 p.m. with a rain date on Oct. 3
at 2 p.m. The public is cordially
invited to attend this event.
This plaque is placed on behalf
of the society in partnership with
the Huron County Board of
Education, and the Huron branches
of the Teachers' Federations to
oonour the Rev. Robert Murray, a
oioneer in public education and
Dntario's first Superintendent of
Schools.
The inscription is as follows:
"Within this cemetery lie the
remains of the Reverend Robert
Murray (b. Bahbridge, Northern
Ireland, 1795) cleric, author,
professional and public educa
tion pioneer. Murray emigrated
to Upper Canada from Scotland
in 1834 and served as a popular
Presbyterian Minister in the
Oakville area. With the passage
at United
Thursday, Sept. 18 from 7-7:45
p.m.
The UCW regular meeting will
be held on Sept. 22 at the church.
The speaker is Sheila Evans from
London who will talk on the Out of
the Cold Program.
Choir practice is next Sunday at
10:15 a.m.
Personal conflicts were also men
tioned.
Information was given regarding
the planting of trees between the
trailer and the Enns' property to
alleviate some of the problem. The
municipality told the OMB, they
would plant the trees as they held
some responsibility for issuing the
building permit.
Enns told the OMB he was satis
fied with the tree planting plan and
relieved to know he could still use
his bams to the maximum capacity.
The OMB found both the munici
pality and the Wightmans liable for
the cost of the landscape architect
hired by Enns to develop a solution
for the problem. The two entities
will each pay half the $290 cost.
The minor variance was allowed
by the OMB provided the munici
pality continue to inspect the trees
for three years and replace any
dead or dying trees and the Wight
mans install a fence along their
property line with the township
boundary to keep pigs off ihe road
allowance, out of the drainage
ditch, and away from the newly
planted trees.
In other council business, a
bylaw was passed to allow the erec
tion of stop signs in the village of
Dungannon. The signs will be
southbound on Isobel Street at
Albert Street, southbound on Clara
Street at Albert and northbound on
William Street at Albert.
Road and general accounts were
approved for payment in the
amounts of $16,100.35 and
$152,317.85.
of the first Common Schools Act
in 1841, Murray was appointed
first Superintendent of Ontario's
schools. During this tenure as
Common School Superintendent,
Murray sought to improve the
organization, administration,
curriculum and the quality of
teachers in the province's
fledgling school system. In 1844,
he accepted a position at King's
College (University of Toronto)
as a Professor of Mathematics
and Natural Philosophy, a
position he maintained until his
death at home in Port Albert on
March 31, 1853."
