Council hears from OCWA
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
Faced with changing responsibil
ities as the re-alignment of services
continues, Blyth council was pre
sented with an option for water ser
vices once hydro services are
re-organized.
With the expected change in
municipal responsibilities follow
ing either the amalgamation of
hydro services in Huron County or
the takeover by Ontario Hydro,
council may assume control of the
water system.
Peter Harrison and Gord Eagles
of the Ontario Clean Water Agency
(OCWA) attended the June 22 ses
sion of council to discuss the opera
tion of the water distribution
system in the village.
OCWA would be interested in
providing the service, said Harri
son. Depending on the level of ser
vice required, Harrison believed
OCWA could do the job at or
below current costs.
Concerned with the possibility of
future amalgamations with other
municipalities, Reeve Mason Bai
ley asked how that situation would
be handled.
Harrison said OCWA was talking
with other municipalities as well
and hoped that any agreement
could be made all-inclusive.
“We want to organize it so we
are prepared (for amalgamations)
and not called at the last minute,”
he said.
“We think we are the best option.

Kathy’s Korner
By Kathy Bromley
The ears are a delicate and vital part of our body. Like everything else, we
usually take it for granted and therefore do not realize just how important
our hearing is to us.
I learned 23 years ago that even doctors can sometimes take things for
granted. It all started on a Friday night, when I had an earache which
continued on throughout the weekend. Finally my husband and my mother-
in-law took me into emergency at Clinton hospital. The doctor then
proceeded to clean them with a fluid. After that, I do not recall anything.
Apparently I was rushed to Stratford hospital where they discovered I had a
hole in my left eardrum. A tube was put in to cover the hole. It was stressed
that from then on I was not to get water in my ear. This is where I must
emphasize that although people will often throw someone into a pool,
problems can definitely result from what is intended as a joke.
You would be amazed at how many people have tubes in their ears for
various reasons.
On this past Wednesday, June 16 I was scheduled in London St. Joseph’s
Hospital for surgery on both ears this time - to replace the tube that had
shifted in my left ear and to remove what they could of a cyst located on my
left ear drum. Like the old cliche, I was literally getting it: “in one ear and
out the other!” Everything went well especially since I did not have any
dizziness or pain afterwards that I had been warned beforehand could occur.
I am feeling great and keen to get back to work.
Recently our oldest son Chris proposed to his girlfriend Cheryl. So I find
the following quotation appropriate.
Kathy’s Quote of the Week: If you wait too long to marry your dreamboat,
you may find by the time you have made up your mind, the cargo has
shifted.
