Accepting on behalf of the association are James Marshall (Howick), Paul Wettlaufer (PHBA president), and Huron East Chief Marty Bedard. The Huron County Fire Pre- vention Association is making sure all departments are on the same page when it comes to public education. The association recently received a $4,000 donation from the Perth -Huron Insur- ance Brokers Association - money that will go toward fire prevention programs in Huron County. The HCFPA is making sure all departments are putting out a consistent mes- sage, and work together on a game plan for the year. December is Christmas Fire Safety month, while in Janu- ary the focus is carbon monoxide. "Everybody in Huron County will be taking part in this," said James Marshall, Fire Safety Officer with Howick munici- pality. "Our message is consistent county- wide." Working together also means the mes- sage can change if there are any issues that arise. Christmas messages are already airing on local radio stations. Innocence Restored Neither flinching nor blinking, her face remained a scene of tranquility as the snapping BBQ tongs came within millimetres of her little button nose. I can be a bit of a pest sometimes. My hope was that by being a playful nuisance, I would receive a cute and dramatic reaction from my then nine-month old daughter. Instead, I received nothing but an unfazed glance of pleasant content. What struck me at this moment was the innocence and naivety that my little girl displayed. It did not even cross her mind that potential danger was approaching when, like the pinchers of a crab, the BBQ tongs clipped toward her. At this point in her young Notice Committee revises proposed source protection plans Public invited to inspect changes and provide written comments until Tuesday, January 21, 2014 at 4 p.m. local time.

DATE OF NOTICE: December 6, 2013 Ausable Bayfield DRINKING WATER Maitland Valley SOURCE PROTECTION Source Protection ACT FOR CLEAN WATER Region Made possible through funding support of Government of Ontario life, Gracie was not yet aware of the broken- ness of this world. Innocence is a beautiful thing. The sad part of this is that it is only a short matter of time before little Gracie joins the rest of us in the jaded, skeptical and guarded approach we take to life as we wrestle with the evil and pain that abounds within and around us all. We live in a bro- ken world. Pride and sin has run rampant. Pain and distrust have resulted. As hard as it may be to believe, there was a time when truth, beauty and the presence of God was all that the human race knew. Knowing God and cultivating His creation was the totality of Adam and Eve's experi- ence in that original utopia, the Garden of Eden. And then it all came crashing down, not through a gradual awareness of evil, as is the case for our children today. Rather, innocence was ripped away through that initial act of prideful disobedience. And the world has never been the same since. Oh, how my heart aches to return to that expe- rience of innocence! And it is at this point that I find hope in the great story of God. The story of Him relentlessly pursuing His children with love. The story we celebrate this Christmas sea- son of God -in -flesh arriving as a little baby in a stable to live among us. The story of Jesus restoring his creation through his sav- ing work in the cross and resurrection. Evil was defeated. Guilt was washed away. Hope was returned. For all who believe, the full human experience of beauty, truth and goodness was made possible again. And so it is with hopeful, rejoicing and a yeaming heart that I read God's promise for the future to all of the faithful in Revelation 21:3, 4. "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people... He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away" (NIV 2011). This is a return to the place of innocence. Just as my daughter still sees the world with unjaded and hopeful eyes, one day we too will anticipate only what is good. For the people of God, we will not live with an expectation of evil and brokenness. Just as a little baby, with innocence we will experi- ence life without pain, with no need to flinch or shrink back in fear. Jesus has restored the innocence and beauty that we have lost.
