FROM BLYTH Heritage committee stalled By Mark Nonkes Wingham Advance-Times The heritage building committee is stalled and waiting. The committee, which recently accepted the resignation from chairperson Jim Currie two months ago, is waiting for North Huron Council to give them some more direction. Councillor Archie MacGowan, who sits on the committee, informed council about a report from architect John Rutledge about the plans for the older buildings - the North Huron Museum, the Armouries and the Town Hall. In fact at that meeting, Aug. 6, Councillor Murray Nesbitt suggested council look into the costs of building and running a new police station, MacGowan said many councils have bulldozed down older heritage buildings and replaced them with brand new ones then later regretted it. In the meantime the heritage buildings in Wingham are aging. MacGowan warned council to be careful that these buildings do not fall into disrepair. MacGowan said he's looked into getting grants but has yet to come across any for which the committee and the projects would be eligible. Nesbitt said if the police move into the armouries it might be more difficult to meet ministry guidelines. In a brainstorming meeting with architect Rutledge, MacGowan said the committee envisioned adding an art gallery to Wingham, expanding the police into the armouries and creating more office space in the town hall. MacGowan explained an art gallery was thought of as a good way to attract visitors. "We have a lot of artists in the area," MacGowan said after the meeting. Council set up the ad hoc committee in December 2001 to develop and bring recommendations for the use of these building while keeping their historical character. Dorothy Daer and Jack Blake are patients in Clinton Hospital. We wish them a speedy recovery. Shirley Cross and Betty Bowes have returned home from hospital. We also wish them a speedy recovery.

Eugen Bannerman, back from holidays, welcomed everyone. Margaret Kai was guest musician. Old time hymns were sung. Rev. Bannerman's sermon was on the founding of Blyth. History inspires us in two directions: to respect achievements, which were great in their day, and to strive to equal the courage and resourcefulness of our ancestors in our own day. There are numerous precedents for historical reflections in the Bible. The first settlers who came to Blyth did so in May 1851. They were Lucius McConnell from Ireland and Kenneth McBain from Scotland. They started clearing the land to make room for others to follow. Robert Drummond arrived in 1854 and settled in East Wawanosh. In 1856 most of the Drummonds' original farm lots were sold to Henry D. Blyth, Esquire, a wealthy businessman living in Maidenhead, Berkshire, England, not far from Windsor Castle. He never came to see his property in Canada nor did his son or grandsons, the inheritors of the Blyth estates. The first post office- was constructed in 1856. The first Presbyterian services in the area were held at J.B. Taylor's farm, Orchili. The first church was built in 1859 now the site of the horticultural garden and pioneer memorial on Dinsley Street. Everyone was invited downstairs for lunch and a time of fellowship. Greeting at Blyth United Church on Sunday, Aug. 11 were Irma Mason and Judy Cleave and family. Guest musician was Kim (Craig) Hornyak. Rev. Bannerman's story to the children was the five things we pray about. His message to the adults was, Pray Without Ceasing.
