THE EDITOR,
I would like to express my thanks
to a resident of the Blyth area in
regards to a decrepit tiny front porch
being demolished and soundly
reerected.
It is a blessing to know that there
is a vein of concern that runs deep in
this community. It is also a comfort
to know that a complainant may use

applications first went to staff for

reporting "supposed" building code

A followup letter from the
township was received and presented
to us by the surprised neighbour
(who was falsely named as the
complainant).
As the true complainant could not
receive this letter, or feedback from
the township, misguided worry may

to inform the complainant that the

THE EDITOR,
The North Huron Foodshare
acknowledges the people of
Brussels for their generous support
of the door-to-door food drive
conducted by the Brussels
community youth group.
The groceries collected will go a
long way in stocking our shelves this
summer so_ that we may provide
hobby, in which the complainant
could use their abundant time and
lack of imagination. (One ought to
use a false moniker if they are too
ashamed to use their own- instead of
one already in use, for reporting
purposes). Hobbies performed
could include the art of fava bean
procurement and display, or erecting
seasonal scenes using suet as a
medium.
