Huron council pays to stop vandalism By Bonnie Gropp Citizen editor It's on the books. North Huron council is willing to pay to put a stop to vandalism in the township. At the Monday night meeting of council, reeve Doug Layton spoke about a recent attack at Riverside Park in which serveral small trees were cut down, and about the damage done in Blyth the previous week. "It's getting to the point of being ridiculous." said Layton. He asked council to consider a reward for any information leading to the arrest of people damaging property in North Huron. "I think we should spearhead something." Councillor Archie MacGowan agreed, noting that volunteers spend countless hours on projects only to see them destroyed. With council setting the reward at $500. MacGowan added. "The damage does add up quickly. To stop it. it won't take long to recoup $500." Come out and support our local vendors at the farmers' market. It will run on Saturday, July 24 from 1 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the corner of Dinsley and Queen Streets beside the Old town office. The farmers' market was a success despite the rain last • week with many different items from vegetables to baking and knitted items for sale. Helen Stonehouse of Belgrave is a patient in Wingham and District Hospital. We wish her a speedy recovery Congratulations to Kevin and Deanna Ritchie on their marriage last Saturday. July 17. Even though the, rain caused many changes, good times were had by all. Congratulations to Avon Cornell on a very special birthday this past By Bonnie Gropp Citizen editor North Huron clerk-administrator John Stewart updated council at its Monday night meeting on the township's hopes of hosting the 2006 national RV association camp- vention. Stewart said he and director of recreation/facilities Dan Cousins met with members of the Threshers Association regarding the campers association's need for more sites. Joe Hallahan of the Threshers was present to show council his group's plans for future expansion. Blyth is competing with Markham for the opportunity to host the event. Stewart said that Aug. 27 and 28 the RV association's board will be week. Greeting at Blyth United Church on Sunday, July 11 was 011ie Craig. Guest pianist was Kim (Craig) Hornyak. The choir anthem was Jesus is Lord of All. The Hebrew scripture reading was from Amos 8: 1-12. Psalm 52 was read responsively, led by 011ie Craig. Rev. Bannerman's message to the adults was Seven Days to Spiritual coming to Blyth to hear a formal presentation. "Hopefully we can pull everything together. The breaking point is going to be if we can't get those 800 services sites," said Stewart. Currently there are 500 serviced sites at the campground. Councillor Murray Nesbitt noted that the costs to meet the needs of the group may in the long run be worth it. "With the dollars this could generate getting those sites serviced could be the way to go." One thing in Blyth's favour was the fact that its fire department isfirst response. Also, the fact that two hospitals are roughly 15 minutes away was also a plus. "We are a small town but we can get anything they want," said Fitness. Monday, do acts of kindness. Tuesday, surprise someone. Wednesday, revisit a Bible. Thursday, experience the wonder and beauty of nature. Friday, have some quiet time for yourself. Saturday, count your blessings and write them down. Sunday, attend a service of worship and thanksgiving. During the offering a trio of Kim and Mark Hornyak and Bodie Craig sang A Gift of Love.
