Box 400 Clinton ON N0M 1L0 (519) 482-3997 Ext. 1232 FORM 6 Municipal Act, 2001 SALE OF LAND BY PUBLIC TENDER THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CENTRAL HURON North Huron Reeve Neil Vincent said that people in North Huron are opening their homes to those displaced by the Syrian conflict. “I’ve had a number of people get in touch with us to see about bringing an individual or family,” he said during his Reeve’s Report at Council’s Sept. 21 meeting. “They are all fleeing a part of the world they view as unsafe.” He said he would like council to put some thought into the issue before their next meeting and brainstorm ideas about how the community could help. *** North Huron Council approved a request to help with a funding application to Canadian Cultural Spaces for $1.1 million on behalf of the Blyth Arts and Cultural Initiative 14/19 Inc. The funding is for the renovations to Memorial Hall and are available up to one third of the total cost of the project, which is estimated to be $3.5 million. North Huron Chief Administrative Officer Sharon Chambers said that North Huron applying on behalf of Memorial Hall, the Blyth Festival and 14/19 strengthens the application. She also said that members of the Blyth Festival staff will be meeting with the Ministry of Heritage very soon. *** The moratorium on new policing contracts from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was to have been listed at the end of September according to information North Huron Chief Administrative Officer Sharon Chambers presented to council during its Sept. 21 meeting. Council has been waiting to request information on having the OPP provide policing to Wingham or having the Wingman Police Service expand to cover the rest of the township. Unfortunately, after a hotly debated and highly controversial new billing model was implemented by the OPP, the province-wide policing organizaiton would not answer service queries for several months. North Huron is in the queue for a pricing estimate, however Chambers said there many be many requests pending that will have to be dealt with first.

As God who is over all, he can dedicate his efforts, not to his own re-election but rather to the real concerns in this world: there are whole populations who are being treated unjustly. The vulnerable sectors, in Psalm 82 described as women and children who have no legal status, are very much in God’s focus. As a group they may not have many votes and as individuals many may decide not to cast their ballots, but that doesn’t matter to God. He’s not out to win a popularity contest. His goal is to make things right. God is saddened when a few people take the world’s resources and hog them for themselves while countless millions barely eke out a living. This causes God to step in and do something about the problem. God is very concerned about justice, and it doesn’t bother him if he loses a few votes because of his position. It would be good in Canada if our elected officials would see that they are accountable to God. If our elected officials would understand that their role is to care for the vulnerable sectors of our society without worrying about getting re- elected, we might see significant change in our world. We must not forget this: God remains the ultimate authority over all, and he cares for this world very much. We know that because he seeks to bring this world back to himself by sending his emissary, his own Son, to us so that through him, we would know him and love him. God cares for the people of this world, and he calls us to care as well. As I write this, I don’t know what our next government will be. Perhaps I will be happy with the results of the election, perhaps not. But even as I exercise my privilege to assist in choosing our next government, I am thankful that God presides over our government, and in the end he will have his way. And because he cares for this world very much, we can be assured that his way will be good. OFA keeps working Continued from page 10 federal government needs to increase transfers to rural municipal infrastructure to boost economic development and competitiveness on farms and in rural communities. Agricultural research has appeared to be a diminishing priority in recent years, that’s why the OFA has been stressing the need to improve publicly-funded agricultural research in Canada. The most important message the OFA has been taking to federal candidates in our province is that agriculture drives Ontario’s economy and that has a tremendous impact on our federal economy too. The OFA will continue working with our new federal government to make sure they understand the importance of agriculture to every Canadian. 1. Eat squash. 2. Play squash.
