Kent van Vliet B.Sc., formerly of
Blyth, has accepted the position as
flight control co-ordinator for
Worldways Airlines at Pearson
International Airport, Toronto. He
had been senior pilot instructor for

A graduate of F.E. Madill Se
condary School, Wingham and
Brock University, he is the son of
Con and Lois van Vliet.
A Blyth developer will get his
way and an' Ontario Hydro high-
tension line that currently crosses
his property will be moved to the
side of a Blyth street.
Blyth village council made a
decision to allow Ontario Hydro to
use its street allowance for the line
at a meeting January 17 which was
an extension of the regular meeting
that ran over its time limit January
11. The decision was made after
Lionel Lebrun, manager of the
Clinton-area Ontario Hydro office
said George Szarek, owner of the
east end property, had approached
Ontario Hydro last summer and
asked that the line be relocated.
Ontario Hydro has no choice, Mr.
Lebrun said. “He has every right to
ask us to take the line away from
his property.” Mr. Lebrun said Mr.
Szarek had called the Ontario
Hydro chairman’s office about four
times in the last two months to

demand the line be moved.
Mr. Lebrun explained that be
cause the line serves a customer of
Blyth Public Utilities Commission
(Howson and Howson Limited),
Hydro had approached the village
to see if it would accept the line on
its property.
The line, running from the Hydro
substation east of Blyth, currently
comes west on Morris Concession
9, then cuts across the corner of
Mr. Szarek’s land to the extension
of Drummond Street east of the old
CN railway right of way. The
proposal would see the line con
tinue up Dinsley Street to the
unopened John Street allowance
before turning north to the Drum
mond Street extension.
Reeve Albert Wasson explained
that council wasn’t totally against
the proposal but it had been asking
for justification for moving the line.
“We haven’t had anything put to
us to justify it (the move)”, he said.
“If it has to happen, it has to
happen but I’m still not satisfied
personally it is justified.” He said
the line is currently on waste land
and would be taken off that to be
put on the street allowance. He
predicted at least two trees would
have to be removed.
Mr. Lebrun said he wasn’t
arguing with Reeve Wasson’s posi
tion but the fact of the matter was
the line must be removed and the
street allowance is the one place for
it to go.
After being assured the move
won’t cost the Blyth taxpayer or
PUC customers anything unless the
PUC decided to buy the line at
some point in the future, council
reluctantly agreed to the move.
