Mary Stretton. Monday night, pinch-shopping for her mother-in-law Marguerite Stretton in the Brussels Merchants’

Zoning by-law on Blyth agenda
Continued from page 6
the year. The former councillors
volunteered their services as an
advisory committee to save the new
councillors from going over the same
ground the old council had already
covered in earlier discussions.
Council also expressed willing
ness to have two former councillors
continue on with projects they had
been involved with. William Mann
ing had volunteered to remain as the
village’s representative on the
Maitland Valley Conservation Au
thority and had also offered to
oversee the tree planting program at
least for this spring since he had
ordered the trees last fall for spring
planting Bev Elliott had offered to
help continue the crab-apple tree
planting project she had initiated
while on council.
“The more assistance we get the
better,” Councillor Medd said.
Appointments to various commit
tees and boards will be made later
this month. In the meantime Council
is looking for two ratepayers inter
ested in being representatives on the
Blyth and District Community Cen
tre Board. Blyth is entitled to two
councillors and two ratepayer repre
sentatives on the board but until now
has never had ratepayer reps.
The Blyth and District Fire Area
Board had a surplus on its operations
for the year and has asked the
councils that support it to designate
the unused portion of their levies as
reserve funds for future fire needs.
Reeve Wasson praised the fire
department for its work. “Probably
Blyth has the most envied (Fire)
Boardin the county for the equip
ment provided, the service and the
cost,” he said.
Meanwhile Reeve Wasson indi
cated Blyth will look with caution on
plans to institute recycling in the
village. “Wehavetobe aware of
whatwe’re volunteering our citizens
to do,” he said, regarding the
amount of sorting of garbage
involved in recycling. “I only w ant to
be a leader if if s going to be good for
the people. I'm not in it for the
publicity,” he said.
Councillor Medd said he thought
it would be a good idea if a public
meeting was held before recycling
was brought in so that the opinion of
the public could be sampled.
Reeve Wasson said he already
knew what the opinion of the public
was, that if they could have their way
thev’d be 109 Dcr ce nt in favour of
burnable garbage that allows some
burning at the landfill site and thus
reduces the amount of garbage that
has to be burned.
