the Blyth Festival and Blyth Centre
for the Arts, was honoured for his
community contributions.
Aside from the above accolades,
Roulston is an award-winning
journalist, a venerated playwright
and is playing a major part in the
upcoming Canadian Centre for
Rural Creativity's Rural talks to
Rural Conference.
The judges, in their initial write-
ups regarding the entrants, said that
Roulston is a community builder
who has contributed to the county in
a significant manner including
critically, socially and artistically.
The writeup also noted that
Roulston is an important storyteller
for contemporary, rural tales.
Roulston said, after the event, that
it was great to be recognized for the
efforts, adding that of the initiatives
he has been involved in the
community, the nomination came as
a result of his involvement in the
Rural talks to Rural Conference.
"The conference, and the Blyth
Canadian Centre for Rural
Creativity, is an opportunity for
Blyth to play a role on a national
scale," he said. "It represents a
chance to collect the energy that has
made this place a success with
initiatives like the Blyth Festival, the
Huron Pioneer Thresher and Hobby
Association's annual reunion and
the Emergency Services Training
Centre and share it with the rest of
the country."
Roulston said the community
entrepreneurial spirit that Blyth has
employed in the above initiatives
can be used to encourage others,
through the conference, to find their
own community entrepreneurial
resources to revitalize their areas.
As far as the award event was
concerned, Roulston said it was a
somewhat surreal experience for a
long-time rural resident.
"It was amazing to see how many
people there were in that one room
involved in the arts," he said.
"Growing up, anyone making the
arts a major part of their life was
unheard of."
The Bayfield Historical Society
and Archives was recognized for
opening the newly renovated
Heritage Centre on the village's
main street. The society also
organizes the annual collector's
show and exhibition in the village
and provides walking tours in the
summer.
FauxPop Media was
acknowledged for bringing
professional -level media production
to the community and promoting
and advancing arts and technology
in Goderich.
Burn bylaw deferred
for fire code research

premises and how farms are affected
by the code before they made a
decision about the burning bylaw.
Councillor Jim Nelemans asked
how long it would take Marshall to
get a response and Marshall said he
would know in time for the next
council meeting on May 17.
Marshall said one of the big
reasons for the bylaw is that Morris-
Turnberry, as a municipality without
the means to fine people, is
becoming a place people bring their
garbage to for burning. He cited a
situation where a residential home
was demolished in a neighbouring
municipality and the refuse was
brought to Morris-Turnberry so it
could be burned for free instead of
paying a tipping fee at a landfill.
Council deferred the decision on
the bylaw until Marshall came back
with the requested information.

live auction and lots of food, both healthy and not -so -healthy. These girls were seeing what
was on offer for the event's silent auction, raising money for the school's activities. From left:
