A drainage issue in the Ashfield-
Colborne-Wawanosh (ACW)
section of Auburn has caused some
issues in the basements of
surrounding homes.
One homeowner in particular has
found sewage in her basement and,
through the resulting search for the
problem, ACW Public Works
Superintendent Brian Van Osch
believes the problem is septage
leaking from a septic tank being
carried by an old tile drain, and gave
a report regarding the issue to ACW
council at their July 5 meeting.
A letter was sent to Van Osch
from the Ministry of the
Environment requesting action,
however Van Osch doesn’t want to
commit township resources until the
problem has been identified ACW’s.
If the tile drain extends to the
roadway, which is shared by both
ACW and Central Huron, the
township will get involved, however,
Van Osch doesn’t wish to start the
work until the problem with the
suspected septic system is found.
“Until the domestic septic
problem is addressed, we can’t
consider work with the storm
sewer,” he said.
Librarian celebrates 25 years
Pat Brigham has seen a lot of
changes since she became Blyth’s
librarian 25 years ago.
She’s seen the library go from a
book depository to a multimedia
centre, starting with vinyl records,
cassettes and CDs and now carrying
BluRay and DVD discs.
She’s searched for specific books
by trolling through hundreds of
identification cards and now simply
searches on her computer, but, as
she explained on the exact
anniversary of her starting date of
July 18, 1986, the more things
change, the more they stay the same.
“I love reading time, and getting
to spend time with the children,” she
said. “And now I’m reading to the
children of the children I read to
when I started here.”
The Blyth Library has gone
through some major changes since
its inception, and Brigham has been
there for all of them.
“We started in the little building
[on the corner of Dinsley and Queen
Streets] where Elliot-Nixon
Insurance is now,” she said. “After
five years there we moved to Blyth
Memorial Hall.
“From there, after 15 years, we
moved to our present location,” she
said. “We’ve been there for about
five years now.”
Brigham said that the library’s
first location was small at 300
square feet. She said that their space
in Memorial Hall; 900 square feet,
was great, but the library’s current
location, which is 1,200 square feet,
has really opened up a lot of new
opportunities for the library.
“We of course have a lot more
books, but now we have computers
and more space to read,” she said.
The change over to digital record-
keeping, which Brigham said is
great because of the time it saves,
isn’t the only digital change that has
benefitted the library in Brigham’s
time.
When asked to share stories, she
said she couldn’t put her finger on
any specific ones, but did say the
addition of new media has brought a
whole new group of borrowers into
the library, opening it to more
people.
“We try to keep up with what
people are interested in so they keep
coming in,” she said.
And having those people come in
is what’s important to Brigham, as
she enjoys the time she spends with
people.
“I still look forward to going to
work every day to read to children
and talk to people,” she said. “I have
enjoyed my 25 years.”
Brigham has worked at the
Goderich, Kingsbridge, Blyth,
Clinton and Wingham libraries in
her time as a librarian and
supervisor.
A come-and-go celebration will
be held to celebrate her 25 years on
July 28 at the library starting at 1:30
p.m.
Community members who don’t
frequent the library may know
Brigham from her second job as a
mail carrier.
Julie Sawchuk, whose husband
Theo is helping to plan the
celebration, said that Brigham is like
a mobile neighbourhood watch
while on her route.
“She notices when people don’t
pick up their mail,” she said. “She
saw that one person wasn’t getting
their mail, called the family and it
turned out he was ill. She looks after
people like that.”
A quarter-century
Pat Brigham has been Blyth’s librarian for 25 years and she
has seen plenty of changes in the way people use the
library over that time. (Denny Scott photo)
