Blyth couple
given
partial solution
Safety, not commerce has gotten
a Blyth merchant couple at least
part of what they wanted in snow
removal.
Blyth Village Council voted Wed
nesday night to continue with the
practice it initiated earlier regard
ing snow removal in front of The
Pottery at Westmoreland and
Queens Streets. Town crews have
been instructed to remove snow
from the corner of the two streets to
prevent obstructions to motorists.
That will remove snow directly in
front of The Pottery which Lewis
and Valerie Pitman had asked for
when they appeared before council
in December on what they called
the “annual pilgrimage”.
The Pitmans had asked for
removal of the snow in front of their
business as a minimum but had
said they felt snow really should be
removed all along the block from
Drummon to Westmoreland Streets
since this area was designated as
“core commercial” and the rest of
the core commercial area had snow
removed and sidewalks kept clear
by town crews.
Councillor Ken Brown said he
felt the new policy of the village of
having snow taken away from the
corner for safety purposes had
improved things and he felt the
crew was doing a good job.
Councillor Steve Sparling said he
thought “the village is extremely,
extremely good at moving snow”
by comparison to other communi
ties. From the safety aspect, he
said, he thought the current mea
sures were adequate. He said he
could understand that as a business
the Pitman's would want the entire
block cleared but the village had to
look at the cost. “My bottom line is
that as long as the corner is kept
clear for traffic, that’s as well as
the village can do financially”.
Councillor Brown wondered how
much extra it would cost to keep
the sidewalk opened since the town
crew was in the area anyway and
with the other work being done, the
area not cleaned is now quite small.
Reeve Albert Wasson said the cost
might not be too large if the town
crew could just blow the snow onto
adjoining properties, but if it had to
be blown on to the street and then
picked up, costs could climb quick
ly. Many property owners don’t
want snow blown onto their proper
ty, he said.
Councillor Brown agreed with
other councillors that the current
policy was adequate.
Councillor Sparling said he just
hoped that the Pitmans understood
council’s position. “I hope they
really don’t feel they aren't wel
come in Blyth and that we’re being
mean-spirited to them”, he said.
Annual meetings will be held
following a pot luck luncheon after
church on Sunday, Jan. 24 at
Bluevale and Sunday, Jan. 28 at
Walton. Please note that on Jan. 28
the service time will be changed
with Bluevale having the early
service at 9:55 a. m.

Walton Area Sports Club, Tuesday
evening, Jan. 9 at the Walton
Public Library, when only two
people turned up.
It is thought the spirit is dead m
this community for sports. If the
parents don’t taken an interest and
want to participate it may be hard
to carry on, to keep our park going
this coming season.
