Planning meeting held
Continued from page 1
Planning and Development Com
mittee to hear Cindy Fisher of the
county planning department ex
plain the meeting was to consider
an amendment to the official plan
to include community improve
mentpolicies. The bottom line, she
explained, is that if the village
doesn’t have a community im
provement area designated as its
official plan, it is not eligible for
grants under such programs as the
Ontario Neighbourhood Improve
ment Program (ONIP).
She helped the audience make
its way through a 26-page brief
prepared by Anne Marie Howard
of the planning department to back
up the change.
Answering questions from the
audience she said that the amend
ment would not change the
designation of any property in the
village, simply the report answers
questions the provincial govern
mentwants to know, she said. This
included an inventory of the
village, including background on
the population, the current state of
roads, sidewalks, etc. The report
shows the greatest deficiency in
‘ ‘ hard service ” items such as roads
and waterworks is in sidewalks.
Councillor William Manning
made a lengthy presentation show
ing the evolution of the commun
ity and pointing out the importance
of community input in making
plans work.
Dave Lee, one of those at the
meeting, asked if any newO.N.I.P.
money could be used to buy and
service land for an industrial park.
He said the village doesn’t have a
piece of property designated in
dustrial if an industry did show
interest in Blyth but was corrected
by Ms. Fisher and Councillor
William Howson who pointed out
land in the east end of the village
off Dinsley street to the south had
been designated industrial.
Mr. Lee said he thought the area
should be serviced so that it was
ready for industry. Chairman
Councillor Tom Cronin and John
Doherty from Goderich, a repre
sentative from the planning com
mittee both warned it was unwise
to sink money into an industrial
area until there was definite
commitment from a potential
buyer.
It was pointed out that this was
the kind of question that should
properlybedealtwith nextyear
when the village and the planning
department undertake a review of
the entire secondary plan. These
reviews normally take place every
five years but there has been no
review since the plan was adopted
in 1979.
4-H dub meets
The third meeting of the Blyth I
“Milk Way’’ 4H club was held at
the home of Sandra Hessels on
September 30 at 7 p.m. with eight
members present.
The members discussed cheese
making, different types of cheese
and cooking with cheese. The
members also prepared and sam
pled cheese souffle and baguette
au fromage.
Balloons were swinging and the
“Welcome Home’’ signs were up
both at Knechtel’s and the Scrim-
geour home last Saturday for Don
and Lenore on their return from a
two week trip to Ireland, Wales and
London.
Bob Hallahan and his wife
Louise of Toronto accompanied the
Scrimgeours. Their hosts in Port-
manoch, a suburb of Dublin, were

han) Church, and her husband
George and family.. Lenore said,
CGIT organizes
again in Blyth
Canadian Girls In Training is a
nondenominational group for girls
aged 12 - 17.
The leaders Lorna Fraser and
Brenda Cook started this group last
fall after a 10-year absence. They
started this group for the junior
girls hoping they would come back
as intermediates and seniors this
season. There is no registration fee
for this group.
What do the girls do? They sing
hymns, have a small worship time,
then the business is discussed such
as helping at bazaars, etc. in the
community. Guest speakers to talk
about hair care, skin care and
things these girls may ask ques
tions about. There are crafts and
last year the girls made fudge with
Jello pudding powder. Brenda and
Lorna hope to go carolling with the
girls this year and would like to
have the Vesper Service this
Christmas too.
The next meeting is October 14
at 7 p.m. at the Blyth United
Church parlour. All girls are
welcome.
‘ ‘It has been my fondest dream for
a long time to visit Marjorie, who is
the same age as I am, in Ireland.
Some years ago, we used to travel
often between Blyth and Toronto to
visit each other.”
George Church planned to have
this trip coincide with his holidays.
An accountant with a firm engaged
in train and boat transportation
business, he knows his country and
also most of England like a book.
Lenore and Don had a perfect tour
guide.
Travelling by bus, boat, train
and car, during their two weeks,
they took several one day trips.
