Traffic control necessary: Knott
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
Councillor Bill Knott believes a
stop light is necessary at the
intersections of County Roads 4 and
25 in Blyth.
Knott, during North Huron
Township Council's Oct. 3 meeting,
stated that a recent collision that saw
a compact car hit and drag a much
larger truck and towed trailer away
from the intersection is proof that
the intersection is dangerous and the
danger will only increase with the
opening of surrounding businesses,
the new UltraMar gas station and
Tim Hortons restaurant and Blyth
Cowbell Brewing Company.
The collision, which occurred on
Sept. 16, resulted in minor injuries
as well as the closure of the road for
several hours.
"I want to request from the county
that they re-examine the traffic
situation at Blyth Road and County
Road 4," Knott said. "There was a
fairly serious accident, though no
one was seriously injured, and
now traffic will continue
to increase."
Knott said the opening of the
Cowbell on the southeast corner of
the intersection and the gas bar
southwest corner, paired with
existing truck traffic, could lead to
significant traffic issues.
The request will be relayed to the
county, which recently installed a
new speed sign at the intersection,
lowering the oncoming speed of
eastbound traffic on County Road 4.

Information sessions
held for dam future
The Township of North Huron
held a public information session
(PIS) on Thursday, Sept. 29
regarding a Class Environmental
Assessment for the Howson Dam.
The Howson Dam is an aging dam
and bridge structure located on the
Maitland River in the north end of
Wingham.
Long-term alternatives for the
Howson Dam will be evaluated in
accordance with the municipal class
environmental assessment (EA)
process. The class EA includes
consideration of natural, social,
economic and cultural factors as part
of the alternative evaluation process.
This initial PIS was to receive
initial public comment and include a
general review of the dam's history.
The meeting featured a presentation
on the class EA process. A second
PIS will be scheduled for early
December and will provide the
public with an evaluation of the
alternative options for the Howson
Dam.
In a separate document, the
alternative options include
rebuilding the bridge and dam to its
former level, rehabilitating the
existing structure while maintaining
the existing water level,
rehabilitating the existing structure
while restoring the water levels to
original level, decommissioning the
dam or leaving the dam as is.
Public input is encouraged
throughout the process and the
public is asked to comment
regarding the Class Environmental
Assessment for the Howson Dam.
Comments will be accepted by the
Township of North Huron until Oct.
14. Further information is available
on the Township of North Huron
website at
www.northhuron.ca and by
contacting the office directly at 519-
357-3550.

Have you, my reader, wept for sin?
The following is from Octavius Winslow's sermon,
"The Disciple Washing Christ's Feet, or, The Service of Love"
"A certain immoral woman heard Jesus was there and brought a beautiful
jar filled with expensive perfume. Then she knelt behind him at his feet,
weeping. Her tears fell on his feet, and she wiped them off with her hair.
Then she kept kissing his feet and putting perfume on them."
Luke 7:37-38
Those tears! who can analyze them? Where shall we find pearls so
priceless, or stones so precious and of fairer colours?
She washed Christ's feet with the tears of penitence. There are no tears in
Christ's view more costly or precious than these.
This woman was poor in spirit, humble and contrite, and as she stood
behind her sin forgiving Saviour, her tears of godly sorrow for sin rained
fast upon his feet.
Have you, my reader, wept for sin?
Does the recollection of past transgression make your sorry? Does the
memory of the sins of your youth, the transgressions of riper years, the
sinful infirmities of old age, humble you in the dust?
Holier and more precious tears were never shed than those wept for having
sinned against God at Christ's feet.
