Dates: 6:00 p.m. February 19
7:00 p.m. March 19 and April 16
Location: Police Station Board Room
The Meeting Room, also known
as the Old Blyth Library in the north
end of Memorial Hall, will be rented
out to Brian Machan by North
Huron Township as a temporary
location for a new business.
Pat Newson, Director of
Recreation and Facilities, requested
that council not enforce the zoning
on the property, which doesn’t allow
business to operate there, from Feb.
1 to May 31 when Machan will be
working out of the location.
Machan’s business, described, for
the purposes of Newson’s request,
will be a financial planning and
mortgage office dealing with income
tax preparation, investment,
insurance and mortgage services.
Council also approved a motion
that will see Newson look into
rezoning the property as this is the
second business that has inquired
about the space, the first being
Stitches with a Twist, which
operated there for several months
before moving into its new location
on Queen Street.

The test of amusements
(J.R. Miller)
“Lovers of pleasure--rather than lovers of God” 2 Timothy 3:4
Is the love of pleasure growing upon you, gaining the power and the ascendency
over you? Is it dulling the keenness of your zest for spiritual pleasures? Is it
making Bible-study, prayer, communion with Christ, meditation upon holy
themes--less sweet enjoyments than before? Is it making your hunger for
righteousness, for God--less intense? Is it interfering with the comfort and blessing
you used to find in worship services, or in Christian work?
If so, there is only one thing to do--hasten to return to God, cut off the pleasure
which is imperiling the soul, and find in Christ the joy which the world cannot
give, and which ever enhances the lift. We must test all our pleasures and
amusements by this rule--Are they helping us to grow into Christ-likeness and
spiritual beauty?
