Hard at work
While not an effective way to beat the heat last weekend, parents, students and staff members
got together last Saturday at East Wawanosh Public School for a working bee to beautify the
school. Secretary Doris Robinson said that some of the trees and gardens needed some
work, so they organized the day to fix them up. From left: Julie Beaven, Mackenzie Gulutzen

THE EDITOR,
I am writing to inform your
readers that, on June 16, the North
Huron Municipal Council will be
holding a Committee of the Whole
meeting at the Blyth Community
Centre.
The purpose of this letter is to
encourage each and every resident to
consider attending the meeting.
Municipal councillors and staff
regularly make decisions that impact
on the day-to-day lives of Blyth
residents. Items ranging from
property taxes and garbage
collection, to arena hours of
operation and rental costs, fall under
the direct control of the council.
I would expect that the residents of
Blyth have opinions on many of
these issues and I would welcome
their attendance, and even their
participation, at the meeting.
Those interested in attending may
do so without making a reservation,
however, groups and individuals
wishing to make a formal
presentation to council must make
arrangements, in advance, with the
clerk. You may reach him by calling
the township office at 519-357-3550.
In closing, I would again
encourage the people of Blyth to
consider attending this important
meeting. North Huron council, like
all governments, can only function
effectively with the oversight and
involvement of the people they seek
to represent.
Sincerely,
Greg McClinchey
Blyth Ward Councillor
THE EDITOR,In response to the recent Citizeneditorial advocating national foodsecurity, it should be pointed out thatnational food security, whenpractised by other countries, hasbeen wretchedly bad for Canadianfarmers.
The best, and most recent,
example of this happened during the
BSE crisis, when the U.S. in effect,
implemented its own “national food
security” policy for beef, by
prohibiting the imports of Canadian
cattle.
The “test” of any sound policy,doesn't so much depend on what we,in Canada, do with that policy, butwhat other countries do to us, usingthat same policy – and, by thatcriteria, national food securitymakes no sense whatsoever.Stephen Thompson, Clinton ON
