Citizen seeks answers to amalgamation questions On Oct. 22, eight North Huron municipal councils were asked to submit their preference with regards to any restructuring. The issue has been one of much debate among politicians, but there has been little comment from local residents. With that in mind, The Citizen has included in this issue on page 23, a survey seeking answers to questions on amalgamating local communities. If it is something that you care about we invite you to please fill out the survey and return it to our offices, either in person, by mail or fax, as soon as possible. The information will be assimilat- ed, then published. This is providing residents an opportunity to publically let their elected officials know what's important to them if municipalities are to amalgamate. When the decision is made there will be no going back. Now is the time to have your say. Just starting The Brussels Beavers welcomed some new members to the pack this year.

(Ashley Gropp photo) Blowes talks of blooming Blyth When he drove into Blyth to sec a play last summer, Ted Blowes saw the beautiful entrance at the south of the village and said Blyth should be part of the Communities in Bloom program. Blowes, vice-president of the national Communities in Bloom committee, encouraged Blyth to join the program when he spoke to the fall dinner meeting of the Blyth Business Association Oct. 20. The former mayor of Stratford said Blyth obviously has a lot going for it that would impress judges in the program. Under the Communities in Bloom program, entire communi- ties are judged under eight cate- gories, such as community involvement, urban forestry, land- scaped areas and turf areas. It would cost the village $200 to join the provincial program. Two judges would then tour the village On Oct. 10 an alarm was activated at G & M Auto Parts on Turnberry Street in Brussels at 3:15 a.m. scaring the culprits. Investigation showed that the thieves attempted to enter the store by cutting a hole through the siding and drywall at the rear of the building. The hole roughly 16" x 12" caused a minimum of $200 damage. The building was checked by the owner and nothing was found missing. The area was searched and no one was found about. This is the second attempt here over the last few weeks. The public and see what the community had to offer. "Show them your best," Blowes said advising to show the judge's several outstanding private gardens, as well as public areas. If there is a special event going on, take them to it to demonstrate the communi- ty's involvement, he said. Communities in Bloom is run entirely by volunteers, said Blowes who has been involved since the beginning in 1994. He is also co- chair of the Stratford in Bloom pro- gram and has co-ordinated its entry in the provincial and national Com- munities in Bloom competition and the World in Bloom competition. Members of the Blyth Horticul- tural Society were guests at the meeting to hear Blowes' presenta- tion and see slides of the 1997 win- ning entries in the national Communities in Bloom. In other business the association is asked to call the Huron OPP and notify them if they see anyone suspicious hanging about the area. *** On Oct, 8 London City Police advised the Huron OPP that a 1995 Dodge van, red in colour stolen from Turnberry Street in Brussels Sept. 25 had been located. The vehicle believed used in the LCBO break-in was found abandoned in a parking lot of London. The ignition switch had been damaged. The vehicle was checked over by the identification unit and then the owner was advised for pick up. Investigation continues. OPP investigations into thefts continue discussed plans for the upcoming Christmas promotion including a scavenger hunt that will be held in area businesses Saturday, Nov. 14.
