SELL? TRY CLASSIFIED Continued from page 16 area of the world yet. But I can imagine that there are many needs here. I suspect that there are people in our community who have trouble making ends meet. Some jobs just don’t pay enough to cover the cost of living. I suspect that there are lonely people in our community, perhaps those who are housebound or who have disabilities or even those who have made mistakes that everyone remembers. I suspect that here in the Blyth area there are those who are don’t know how they are going to get through the winter because a new illness has made it impossible for them to shovel the snow or drive to doctor’s appointments. How do we respond? I suspect that most of us are compassionate enough to at least hope that our neighbours can get by, and we even may wish that someone might do something for them. But what if we always saw the needs of others as opportunities for ourselves? My neighbour’s cancer is an opportunity for me to drive them to London for treatment. My neighbour’s low- paying job becomes an opportunity for me to buy an extra turkey, a rutabaga (support the local economy), a bag of potatoes and an apple pie so that they can have a good Christmas dinner. Other’s needs are our opportunities. I am well aware that there are people among us who always think like that. Their spirit of generosity has moved them to always see needs as opportunities, and we see them making the most of those opportunities to use their blessings to bless others. I am not among the small percentage of those are like that. I have to be intentional about generosity because it is not my first inclination. I suspect that most of us fall into the same category as me. There will always be needs in our community and therefore there will always be opportunities. Most of us have been richly blessed, so for us, another’s need is always our opportunity. At the request of Councillor Allison Dekroon, Huron East Council debated joining a municipal coalition regarding noise regulation, but stuck with their original decision to observe from a distance. The discussion began with a presentation at council’s Oct. 15 meeting by Warren Howard, a councillor in North Perth. Howard is attempting to assemble a group of municipalities that would be willing to pool their resources for a noise regulation bylaw that he hopes will stop the construction of wind turbines in rural Ontario. He is approaching the issue from the standpoint of creating a “quiet nights” bylaw that would regulate certain types of noise after the sun goes down. At the Oct. 15 meeting, Howard told councillors he couldn’t provide them with a firm cost figure, but said similar bylaws have been tested for court challenges and have cost in the neighbourhood of $250,000, plus an additional $20,000 to initially draft the bylaw. Discussion at the Nov. 5 meeting focused on the “good faith” of the bylaw. At the Oct. 15 meeting, Howard said that if the coalition arrived at the bylaw in good faith, it would be viewed positively in a court challenge. Councillor Nathan Marshall, however, at the Nov. 5 meeting, said that it was obvious council was operating in bad faith. He said that councillors knew it and anyone who read the newspaper would know it as well. He said the reason the bylaw is being considered is to regulate wind turbines, not noise at night. Council had discussed exceptions that would allow agricultural businesses and trucking companies to continue operating at night, leaving the bylaw to only regulate wind turbines. “We’re going through all of this because of wind turbines,” Marshall said. “We wouldn’t be doing it if there were no wind turbines and Council drops turbine bylaw Look for opportunity says Van Leeuwen By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen Continued on page 18
