Notice to Landowners and Contractors Forest Conservation Bylaw In 1947 Huron County passed the ﬁ rst “tree bylaw” designed to protect and enhance forest cover in the county. The current Forest Conservation Bylaw was last updated in 2006. The bylaw restricts and regulates the destruction and commercial harvest of trees in woodlots and woodlands that have an area of 0.2 Hectares ( 0.5 Acres) or greater, regardless of property boundaries. Prior to any destruction or commercial harvest of trees please contact the Forest Conservation Ofﬁ cer at Huron County Planning and Development. Phone 519-524-8394 Ext.3 or 1-888-524-8394 Ext.3 A complete copy of the Forest Conservation Bylaw is available at www.huroncounty.ca/bylaws Continued from page 3 understand what Mental Health is. Many kids commit suicide because they can not see any other way to live. Baptism is important to mental health. Baptism shows that they are loved by others. The Mental Health Association tries to help by providing positive skills for life by setting goals, solving problems and teaching practical skills like cooking, cleaning and budgeting. It shows them independence and builds their confidence. Some people think the Ten Commandments make them slaves to the church and to God. When they were written they were given to Moses by God at a time when the Israelites had just gained their freedom. They had always been told what to do and how to do it. They were feeling lost and God gave the Commandments to Moses. The Israelites were like teenage kids when they leave home and find they cannot cope. The Commandments gives us a road map to do this and not to do that. God believes in us and knows us all. God’s love is unconditional. Baptism opens the door for children to come into the church and know that the congregation loves them. Baptism begins one day and lasts a lifetime. We teach our children love and faith. The next hymn was “O Master Let Me Walk with Thee”. The offering was received followed by the offering response, “Thanks Be To God” and the prayer of dedication, the prayers for the world and the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The commissioning and benediction was followed by the blessing for the lunch. Everyone was invited downstairs for the meal. Baptism key in mental health Native educator Thunderbird visits Blyth school Eye in the sky Shannon Thunderbird visited several schools to teach about the medicine wheel. She also explained how now is a time of prophecy according to her people, as galactic imagery, such as those she shows to Blyth Public School students here, depicts eyes looking down on the world, which she claims are the eyes of the ancestors, judging those who have inherited the earth.

Bang a drum Students at East Wawanosh Public School, under the tutelage of Shannon Thunderbird, learned the importance of the drum, and how it represents the heartbeat of Mother Earth. The students gathered in two circles, one around the large drum, and one around that circle to bang on drums of all sizes in rhythm to mimic the beat of the Earth’s heart.
