The Citizen, 2016-05-12, Page 20PAGE 20. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2016. FauxPop, Bayfield archives awarded Continued from page 19 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 Continued from page 10 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.
