Brussel Library holds
information night Oct. 10
An information night sponsored
by the Brussels Library branch will
be held on October 10 at 7 p.m. for
parents and caregivers of children
between the ages of six and 13,
who are interested in getting their
youngster involved in a reading
program.
Librarian Sue Nichol said that
the Reading Circle will be designed
to promote and encourage better
reading habits. A similar program
has been implemented at the
Hensall Library and Mrs. Nichol
says, it has been a great success.
The only pre-requisite is that the
child must be able to read. The
sessions begin with reading-orient
ed games such as Scrabble and
Boggle followed by time for read
ing with a partner or friend.

their way whether it makes sense
for the good of the country or not.
People may have knocked down
David Peterson but their frustra
tion is likely to continue. Let’s just
hope people can recover a sense of
being able to shape their own
destiny soon before they resort to
more than just turning out govern

1990 has been designated as the
International Year of Literacy and
good reading habits start when
you’re young. It’s important that
children be encouraged to develop
good reading habits by their par
ents or caregivers. Literacy is a
problem that need not happen. I
have always felt that you don’t
have illiterate adults if children are
taught to read,” said Mrs. Nichol.

Council briefs
Council pushes Festival
for library decision
Blyth Village Councillors ex
pressed impatience Wednesday
night at delays in a decision by the
Blyth Centre for the Arts as to how
much of the ground floor of the
north wing of Memorial Hall will be
available for the Blyth branch of
the Huron County Library.
Council has been pushing to get
the entire floor which would give it
900 square feet, about three times
the space of the current Blyth
Library and the minimum space the
Huron County Library insists the
village should have.
Clerk-Teasurer Helen Grubb
said she had spoken with Centre for
the Arts officials and they said they
are not ready to meet with council
at the moment and have no definite
answer. The theatre has been
saying it wants to keep one of the
three rooms currently in the space,
to be used for a stage management
office.
Councillors have been frustrated
because they want to get on with
the job of renovating the space,
using money put aside in this
year’s budget. “We’re not trying
to be mean but we’re operating
with money that’s not our own on a
time frame that’s not our own,”
Councillor Steven Sparling said.
Council will continue to push for a
decision from the Centre.*****
Also held up in the process is a
replacement office for the Extend
ed Service Office of the Ontario
Provincial Police. The original of
fice, in the old library at the south
of Memorial Hall was demolished
to make room for the south wing of
the hall. Council plans to establish
a new office in the current munici
pal building if the library is moved
to Memorial Hall and the municipal
office is extended into the current
library space. The OPP is impatient
to get an office again, Mrs. Grubb
said.
She also reported that ESO
officer Mike Alexander has report
ed that problems of vandalism and
mischief had been higher in Blyth
this summer than in the past. '*****
A rental agreement for those
renting the arena is being formu
lated. “Some members (of the
Community Centre Board) are un
comfortable with it but in the end
it’s the only thing we can do to Took
after the municipalities’ interests”
Councillor Sparling said. Councillor
Dave Lee said the agreement will
protect the renters as well as the
Board by making renters aware of
what they’re responsible for in
renting the building such as secur
ity and liability insurance.*****
Councillor Sparling said he felt
the summer recreation program
had been a success this summer. “I
think people had a tremendous
program to send their kids to,” he
said. Reeve Albert Wasson agreed,
saying “Most of the reports I heard
were positive.”*****
Councillors have been getting a
history lesson on Blyth as they tried
to investigate which main street
buildings are using a drain on
Queen (main) St. Reeve Wasson
and Councillor Lee have been
tramping through basements in
their investigation and also talked
to long-time main street business
man Gordon Elliott who told them
there used to be a creek run across
main street near where Dickson’s
garage is today.
As far as can be determined most
buildings from King St. to Blyth
Brook except the Blyth Inn and
Christmas and Country are connec
ted to the drain.
Councillors are trying to find out
if the current drain, which is in bad
repair, should be replaced when
reconstruction of main street is
undertaken during the rebuilding
of Highway 4 from Blyth to
Wingham.*****
Council agreed to proclaim this
week, Sept. 16-22 as Legion week
in the village. Councillors agreed
that the Legion did such good work^^y
it should be recognized with the
proclamation.
