THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 2001. PAGE 3. Parenting, theme of UC service By Bonnie Gropp Citizen staff The significant snowfall this sea- son was an issue at the inaugural meeting of North Huron council, Tuesday night. Bob Thompson, director of public works for the new township approached council with regards to renting a tractor big enough to han- dle the snow. Thompson's concern was that the current eqtiipment is not capable of pushing the corners back in Wingham. Deputy-Reeve Jeff Howson won- dered if a tractor was rented whether it could be used in Blyth and Belgrave as well. Thompson saw no problem with this and he was author- ized to proceed obtaining the neces- sary equipment. Councillor Murray Nesbitt also noted that there has been an issue in As the council of the Twp. of North Huron met for its first meet- ing Jan. 2, one of the biggest discus- sions was on what to keep and what to forget. Looking at the current commit- tees, boards and commissions, Clerk-Administrator John Stewart explained that the province stated that with amalgamation, current committees with the exception of community centre and fire boards were to be disbanded. Municipalities then have the option of reforming them if they wish or change them completely. Deputy-Reeve Jeff Howson explained that at the last council meeting of Blyth, they had been approached by Central Huron with a request that any boards formed jointly with Hullett remain so until June 1. The biggest debate arose with the Wingham and Area Economic Development Committee. While Councillor Arnold Taylor, who has served a three-year term on the com- mittee said there had been some question regarding whether the new municipality should continue on its own or continue with Morris- Turn berry. Councillor Archie MacGowan attempted to explain the reasoning behind these concerns saying he believed the person who suggested it felt there may be some conflict when it comes to development issues if the committee involves other municipalities. Mayor Doug Layton, however, the Blyth Ward as to who is to do the snow removal this year. In the past the work was tendered, but was left this year to see what the public works director decided. Thompson said he had visited Blyth that day and had spoken with the employees. It was agreed that, as had been done previously, the loader would be obtained from one company and the truck from the other contractor. Councillor Arnold Taylor asked if the businesses were located in Blyth because he felt it was important that be retained. This was responded to affirmatively. The issue will be looked at once again when the plowing season ends to see if tendering is still the best option for snow removal. Thompson also questioned council on a communication system to link the three municipalities as one. This will be investigated. was concerned by the message such a move might send. "One of the things I really want pushed is every- one getting together. I know there hasn't always been a lot of input from the other municipalities, but are we slighting them by not asking them if they want to continue on the committee? Every campaign speech I made was to forget the past and get on to tomorrow." MacGowan stressed that his feel- ings were not meant to slight any- one. "But there are some things that might arise that only pertain to this municipality, which would be diffi- cult to discuss." Taylor said his feeling was that the committee should stay together with Morris, now amalgamated with Turnberry, prompting Howson to note that it "could be the stepping stone to the next round of arnalg- Continued on page 20 Blyth Skating Club Registration Call Chas at 526-7411 or Glenda at 523-9139 or Lorie at 523-4897 Phinehas. . Rev. Dow also said that the princi- ples "can also be applied to us as individuals in our spiritual growth as God's children through belieVing in Jesus Christ." In helping the next generation to avoid moral pitfalls, he said, the examples of Samuel's and Jesus families suggest three pointers. The first is Affirmation.

Rebuke is the sec- ond. "In order for there to be rebuke, you also need to be educating in the first place so a child knows the lim- its that are for their own good." Finally is response. Rev. Dow noted that affirmation and rebuke were something parents do. Response is dependent upon the child. Rev. Dow asked what parents could do to influence the response of their child. He explained praying can help. Rev. Dow explained how God uses these three principles to help us grow as his children. He asked the congre- gation to consider these when mak- ing their New Year's resolutions. FROM BLYTH North Huron council okays tractor rental for snow removal The theme of the sermon on Dec. 31 at Blyth United Church was Parenting the Perverted or Fostering the Favoured. Rev. Ernest Dow spoke of how it was New Year's Eve and about the passage of time. He noted'that at this time parents notice that their chil- dren are growing up quickly. Sometimes we wonder "what legacy will we leave them?" Rev. Dow used scripture passages to "offer an instructive contrast in approaches to parenting." He used the examples of Samuel and Jesus's, and the two sons of Eli — Hophni and North Huron councillors named to committees
