The Citizen, 2016-03-24, Page 19The home stretch A partnership between a number of Blyth churches and Huron Chapel in Auburn was in full force on Sunday night for the group's annual Walk Through Holy Week event. Members of the joint congregation walk from church to church every year on Palm Sunday for a different sermon, musical performance or skit, following the story of Easter. This year, Huron Chapel was the event's final stop, which culminated in a musical performance from Pastor Mark Royal!.

THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2016. PAGE 19. HEAT applauds new Health Unit survey A number of residents concerned with potential adverse health effects associated with wind turbines spoke to Huron East Council last week and came equipped with a handful of requests. The group, called Citizens Concerned about Health Impacts, pointed to a number of recent developments in their years -long fight. First, said Jeanne Melady, the concerns of a number of residents in Huron County living adjacent to wind turbines, not just in Huron East, have been recognized by the Huron County Health Unit. The Health Unit, Melady told councillors, will be further investigating alleged adverse health effects by way of a survey. The process, however, will take a number of years to properly study. In the meantime, however, a report is being prepared by the Huron County Board of Health on the concerns of area residents that will soon be available, she said. That issue will be dealt with once again by the Board of Health in early April. Melady told council that there are now 31 families in Huron County on record as having suffered negative health effects associated with wind turbines. While those complaints have been made in writing, she said, many others have been made verbally. With the issue now on the Health Unit's radar, Melady said, it's important to wait and see if the results of the survey turn up anything. One of the group's requests of council was that council pass a motion supporting the decision of Acting Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Owen to further investigate possible health problems.
