Council approves CIP application
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
If North Huron can find success in
applying for a Rural Economic
Development (RED) grant, the
township may soon have a
community improvement program
(CIP).
Based on a recommendation from
Economic Development Officer
Connie Goodall, Council directed
staff to pursue a RED grant for
$7,500 to create a $15,000 CIP to
help local building owners improve
the facades of structures to beautify
the township's downtown cores in
Wingham and Blyth.
Economic Development Officer
Connie Goodall requested that
council support the application,
explaining in a report that property
owners could apply to receive up to
half of the cost of approved projects.
According to Goodall's report, the
CIP would meet recommendations
from the Blyth and Wingham
Business Retension and Expansion
(BR&E) reports produced several
years ago. Both reports identified a
Church collects for
women's shelter
Blyth United Church prepared for
the Advent season on Nov. 26.
Hillary MacDonald welcomed
everyone to church and drew
attention to the announcements in
the bulletin. She reminded everyone
that Dec. 3 is White Gift Sunday.
On Dec. 17, the church will be
collecting socks and underwear for
the Women's Shelter. Hillary lit the
Christ candle. Everyone was invited
to greet one another.
The first hymn "Behold, Behold, I
Make All Things New" was sung.
The call to worship was said
responsively followed by the prayer
of approach. The scripture readings
were from Psalm 100 and the
Gospel of Matthew 25: 31-46.
The hymn "Jesu, Jesu, Fill Us
with Your Love" was sung. The
choir sang the anthem "Let the
Whole Creation Sing."
Hillary delivered her message to
the congregation. The next hymn
"Rejoice, the Lord is King" was
sung. The offering was received
followed by the offertory response,
"As Those of Old Their First -fruits
Brought" and the offertory prayer.
Let everyone know about
your new bundle of joy!

The hymn "Lord, Listen to Your
Children Praying" was followed by
the prayers for the people and the
singing of the Lord's Prayer. The
last hymn "0 Lord My God" was
followed by the benediction and the
singing of the response "Go Now In
Peace." Everyone was invited for
coffee and fellowship.
CIP as an effective way to beautify
the community.
If the grant application is
successful, the $7,500 in funding
could result in a total of $30,000 in
community improvements.
Councillor Trevor Seip said he
wanted accessibility to be a factor in
approval for projects because many
local businesses need to address
accessibility at their locations. Chief
Administrative Officer Dwayne
Evans said since the projects would
need council approval, that is
something that can be built into the
program.
Reeve Neil Vincent added that a
"terms of reference" would be set for
the project and accessibility could be
highlighted.
While council supported the RED
application, Councillor Brock
Vodden said Goodall's request was
based on flawed information.
Vodden said he didn't know how
extensively the BR&E reports would
be used, but cautioned council and
staff against them.
"Those projects were badly
managed and the reports are not in
any way valid," he said. "We need to
take a fresh look at the situation."

I would recommend all parents to get this kind of Bible
(J.R. Miller)
"Your Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path!" Psalm 119:105
In many houses you will see beautiful Bibles bound handsomely in
morocco leather, with gilt edges, and full of bright pictures. I love to see
a beautiful Bible in a home --especially if it is not kept too clean and
unsoiled. But the most beautiful form in which a household Bible can be
bound, is in the holy life of godly parents. There is no tinted, gold -edged
paper so lovely --as the pages God gives us on which to write our daily
record.
The precepts and lessons of the inspired Word sound very sweetly when
read out of a richly -covered volume --but they sound far more sweetly,
when the child can spell them out of the parent's daily life.
It is well for a parent to read to his child from the inspired page about the
beauty of holiness; but it is better still when the child can see that beauty
shining out transfigured in every feature of his parent's character.
It is well for him to read of the patience, gentleness, meekness,
forbearance, and love of Christ; but it is better when he exemplifies all of
these traits.
It is well for him to teach the child what the Bible says about lying,
profanity, intemperance, and all sins; it is better when his life proclaims
all these lessons.
No family Bible is so well printed and bound, as the one that is printed
on the heart, and bound up in the life of a godly parent. I would
recommend all parents to get this kind of Bible --and to keep the dust
off it always by constant use. This is the best kind for a lamp to the
children's feet.
A beautiful Christian life is a living epistle written by the hand of God --
which the youngest child can read before it has learned to spell out the
shortest words of the language. It is a sermon that preaches Christ all day
long --seven days in the week!
There is no heresy so dangerous to childhood --as heresies lived in the
home!
