Barbara Bosman of
Londesborough has been named the
Citizen of the Year for the Blyth area.
Bosman received a number of
nominations for the annual award,
sponsored by The Citizen.
“Barbara is one of the most
compassionate people you could
know,” one nominator wrote. “If
anyone has a problem, is ill, is in
need of a helping hand or a kind
word, Barb is there to do anything
and everything she can for thatperson.”Bosman’s time as a music teacher,
choir director for the
Londesborough United Church and
an organist were all highlighted as
reasons she is deserving of this
award.
She has also been a dedicated
member of the Londesborough
UCW for years.
“For a number of years [Bosman]
has organized the Spring Songfest at
the church and now puts together an
old-fashioned Christmas concert
yearly,” a nominator said. “Barb is
also a beautiful singer, alone or with
a group.”
Simply put, Bosman has inspired
the people of Londesborough
through her countless acts of service
and kindness.
“Barb Bosman is a hero in our
community,” one nominator said.
Through her music work in
Londesborough, Bosman repeatedly
encourages people to live up to their
potential, finding musical talents
that people never knew they had.
A panel of The Citizen’s past five
Citizen of the Year winners selected
Bosman from this year’s collection
of nominations.
The Citizen wants to remind
community members that
nominations for the 2014 Citizen of
the Year awards will open early next
year.
Many worthy recipients have been
nominated in the past, but have notwon, so we’re encouraging people tovote for someone in their community who goes above and beyond the callof duty and makes their communitya better place out of the goodness of their heart.Barbara will be honoured by TheCitizenwith a plaque at a later date.Barbara Bosman named Citizen of the Year

BUY? SELL? TRY CLASSIFIEDRepository, lack of action concerns Bailey
Councillor Bernie Bailey is
unhappy that North Huron is not
taking an immediate stand against
deep geological repositories for
nuclear waste.
During North Huron Township
Council’s Oct. 6 meeting, Bailey put
forward a motion that would see the
township stand against storing low-
to medium-level nuclear waste in
underground storage areas
especially near bodies of water
like the one proposed in Bruce
County.
Aside from the potential risk to
the water table, Bailey said that
waste would be brought in from all
over, not just from the Bruce
Nuclear Power Plant, which could
result in waste travelling along
County Road 4, straight through
North Huron.
While councillors agreed it was an
issue that many of them were
concerned about, they decided to
table the motion instead in order to
get more information.
Councillor Archie MacGowan
stated that while he was not against
the idea, he didn’t like negative
motions. He said that he would like
to research it and have more
information presented.
MacGowan then tempered that
response somewhat by saying his
concern with the radioactive
material is equalled by his concern
about water being drawn out of the
Great Lakes and the effect that could
have on the water table.
Bailey, however, was frustrated at
the lack of action because council
had moved much quicker on less
pressing issues.
“We made a decision on wind
turbines without having anyone talk
to us and that was wind for God’s
sake,” he said. “This is radioactive
material.”
The motion was tabled.

(Thomas Watson,“Doctrine of Repentance”)
“I live in a high and holy place, but also with him wo is contrite and humble in
spirit”. Isaiah 57:15
As God has two places He dwells in--Heaven and a humble heart; so the devil has
two places he dwells in--Hell and a hard heart!
A hard heart is a dwelling for Satan!
