Decorative lighting project still in question Blyth council 'is going to check with the engineer before asking for an extension of infrastructure money to complete the second phase of decorative lighting in the village. At the Jan. 15 meeting of coun- cil, Clerk-Treasurer John Stewart told council that he had spoken with Jim Walker of the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) last week. Stewart said that Walker's opinion regarding the village's obligation to take over a portion of Hwy 4 as a connecting link, was that the Min- istry would not likely ask the vil- lage to do so. In 1992 the previous council had passed a motion stating that when the Hwy 4 reconstruction was com- plete the village would accept responsibility for the road as a con- necting link. This would mean that it would be the village's job to maintain the road. Stewart explained that when the motion was made the province helped municipalities financially with con- necting links, however that is no longer the case. "Therefore, the feeling is that they won't force any municipality to assume links," Stewart said. This being the case, the lights for phase 2 will need MTO approval Anyone involved with 1st Blyth Scouting will have lots to do from January to June. After a busy Christmas season all sections have plans to make the best of the winter weather. Beavers will participate in Winterfest Jan. 27, a day of outdoor fun activity and games. They are also planning an outdoor animal hunt, and a toboggan outing. Blyth Cubs enjoyed a Christmas camp at West Wawanosh Conser- vation Area, where they worked on requirements for the Red Star. They are now looking forward to a winter campout at Camp Attawondaron with the 4th Goderich Cubs Feb. 2-4. Throughout January the boys will be starting to work on the requirements for the Purple Star. Each Cub will also be working diligently to produce the perfect racing Kub Kar prior to the local Kub Kar Rally on Feb. 27. In January Scouts will be working on Emergency First Aid UCW meets The Blyth UCW met on Thursday, Jan. 11 with 24 present. Emily Phillips, president, opened the meeting with welcome. The UCW purpose was then said in unison. Roll call was answered by a verse from Ezekiel. It was decided to have "Loonies for Lent" to help pay for the new refrigerator, needed for the kitchen. The World Day of Prayer is Friday, March 1 at the Christian Reformed Church. Dorothy Daer and Bernice McClinchey had the devotions and several poems on "Art of Living'', which was the theme. Scripture reading was Psalm 15. The story was "A House or a Home." Take Time to Be Holy and Can a Little Child Like Me ..ere sung with Elva Brown at the piano. Catherine Caldwell gave a very interesting study on India. before the project can proceed. Tests would be conducted to deter- mine the acceptability and Stewart said the engineer felt that the quan- tity and quality of light proposed would not be sufficient. Stewart added that he had also spoken with Rhonda Smith at the Infrastructure Works Office and was advised that an extension of the program is close to being signed, which will mean new appli- cations will be accepted, though no additional money will be available. Stewart told council that the vil- lage his $50,653 left in infrastruc- ture money. The total for the streetlight project is $37,238, while there are unused funds in the amount of $13,415 due to being underbudget on the watermain pro- ject completed last year. He suggested two options to council. The first would be to ask for an extension for the streetlight- ing project as it was originally to have been completed by March 31. The second choice was to submit an application for a new project and withdrawing the streetlight applica- tion. Reeve Mason Bailey asked Stew- art if he had ever been given an idea on how much it would cost the village to assume the highway as a with Dick Poore's assistance. Hopefully their new skills will not be needed at their family tobogganning outing, or when the boys are on their overnight ski hike. They plan build quinzees to sleep in, and will be preparing their meals outdoors. Feb. 23-25 they will be enjoying more winter activities at the Wawanosh Nature Centre as they join other troops for the Huron District Winter Camp for Scouts and Venturers. The new Rover crew will be invested Feb. 16. They are meeting about once a month and are making plans to participate in many of the opportunities available to members of the Scouting organization. To raise funds they are planning to have a dinner March 7 at the Blyth Community Arena. All sections are making plans for Scout-Guide Week Feb. 18-25. Leaders, boys, Group Committee, and Rovers will attend the church service at the Blyth United Church, Feb. 18. Feb. 21 there will be a banquet at the Blyth Community Arena for the members of the Scouting and Guiding organizations, and their families. connecting link. "Most of the people I have asked have just said I didn't want to know," Stewart replied, adding than he has heard the Ministry is taking some connecting links back. "Anytime I ask someone about this I get opinions, but no one says yes or no," said Stewart. "When I asked Walker if Blyth would have to take it over his response was,' In my opinion I doubt it'." Don Scrimgeour, a member of the Blyth Business Association, and of the committee responsible for the decorative lighting project in the downtown core, was asked for his feelings by council. He said that he saw council .had a problem. "It's a tough call. If there's a way out of assuming the road, I don't think you want to assume it. That's common sense." Scrimgeour added, however, in support of the previous council and the committee that when the motion had been made in 1992, it was with the feeling that there was no choice. "It seemed like the thing to do." Blyth People Jack and Shirley Johnson of London hosted a delicious dinner on Saturday night in honour of her sister, Audrey Timpany of Aylmer. Those attending were Jim and Dean Timpany, Alvin and Gene, Harvey and Deanna, Clifford and Bev Snell and Bonnie and Herb Shannon. Five tables of lost heir were in play at Blyth Memorial Hall on Wednesday evening. Winners were: high lady, Enna Cook; high gent, Millar Richmond; low lady, Edythe Snell; low gent, Effie McCall, playing as a man. Everyone is welcome again next Wednesday evening. Winners of the Blyth euchre on Jan. 8 are: high lady, Dorothy Daer; high man, Jack Blake; ladies' lone hand, Diane Raynard; men's lone hand, Evelyn Christianson; low lady, Alberta Stevens; men's low, Margaret Nesbit. Winners of the Jan. 15 euchre are: high lady, Ruth Shiell; high man, Lloyd Appleby; ladies' lone hand, Effie McCall; men's lone hand, Jack Blake; low lady, Nora Kelly; men's low, Roy Krauter. Reeve Bailey concurred, adding, "If there hadn't been a change of government, it still would have been." The consensus among the coun- cillors present (Councillors Doug Former clerk names new lawyer "It was a momentary slowdown in the court proceedings," says Mike Mitchell. In response to a story which ran in the Jan. 10 issue of The Citizen, lawyer Mike Mitchell, who previ- ously represented former Blyth clerk-treasurer Helen Grubb in her suit against the village, stated the litigation is still before the court, though temporarily slowed due to Grubb's need to acquire new coun- cil. Grubb has confirmed she will now be represented by municipal lawyer Barry Card, of London. From the office of the village solicitor, information was obtained that all the paperwork to date can stay in place with the new law firm having the opportunity to make any amendments. The court ruled recently that nei- ther Mitchell nor his firm could represent Grubb in the lawsuit because of a conflict of interest. Mitchell had previously been employed by the village. Scrimgeour and Robbie Lawrie were absent) was that Stewart con- sult the engineer before proceeding with an extension. The earlier resolution to assume the road was rescinded by motion.
