Council to stop boarders
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
Blyth council may soon have the
' power to put the brakes on skate
boarders and rollerbladers who are
damaging public property and
interfering with use of Memorial
Hall.
After receiving a written com
plaint for the April 17 meeting,
about youths using the planters,
steps and sidewalks in front of
Memorial Hall as a recreation area,
council had the impetus to move
forward with action to stop the
activity.
Council had received several ver
bal complaints last year as well as
already this season, including one
from a woman who had been
knocked down by the skaters and
bladers.
Clerk-Treasurer John Stewart
said he had asked the offenders in
the past to stop the activity, but
they would leave for 15 minutes,
then return.
When Councillor Doug Scrim-
geour asked about the parents’
response, Stewart said one had said
they could not see what the prob
lem was.
Aside from using the sidewalks
while people are trying to enter the
hall, Stewart said the use of the
planters and steps for (trick) moves
are causing damage.
He added that two other proper
ties, one private and one public,
had been offered to the youths to
use for skateboarding and
rollerblading However, in both
cases, owners of the land insisted
the participants use appropriate
protective gear when on the proper
ty. Those offered the alternate sites
refuse to don the helmets, elbow
and knee guards requested.
In an effort to solve the problem,
council authorized Stewart to pre
pare a bylaw which will prohibit
skateboarding and rollerblading on
the sidewalks of Queen Street.
A village resident will be asked
to assume the role of bylaw
enforcement officer for the remain
der of the year until such time as
the new municipality of North
Huron can appoint someone to the
position.
Guest speaker talks of
palms, people, politics
Brian and Rita Potter greeted
worshippers at Knox United
Church on Palm Sunday, April 16.
Bruce Whitmore, the guest speaker
welcomed the congregation.
The junior choir sang He Came
Riding on a Donkey and This is My
Prayer directed by Lila Procter and
accompanied by Joanne Robinson.
The scripture reading was from
Matthew 21: 1-13 and Zachariah 9:
9-12.
For children’s time each child
was given a palm branch. Mr.
Whitmore asked the children where
palm trees grow and what the
branches are used for. The children
said pa,1ms are grown in warm
places and the branches are used to
decorate a roof as well as make a
dress.
Connie Shiell was in charge of
the nursery. John Dorsch and Ken
Procter took up the offering.
The sermon was entitled Palms,
People and Politics.
A Good Friday Service will be
held at Knox United Church on
Friday, April 21 at 11 a.m. with
Whitmore and Melissa Whitmore
as guest speakers.
Calvin Brick auction sale will be
