Guest organist was Dr. James Hall from Wingham. Ushering were Myrtle Badley, Rob Mason and Lavern Clark. The choir sang Breathe on Me, Breath of God. Rev. Robin McGauley invited the children to come to the front of the church. She asked them to give her some suggestions as to what the world considers great and then what Jesus considered great. Some of the world suggestions were: rich, to be first, to be king. Some of the suggestions for Jesus were: patience, kind to each other, not to be first in everything. The children and congregation sang The Lord's Prayer along with actions. Amanda Craig carried the lighted candle down to Sunday school. Emily Phillips read the scripture reading James 3: 13-4:3, 7-8a, Psalm 1 was read responsively. Scriptures were also read from Mark 9: 30-37. Rev. McGauley's message to the adults was Last of All and Servant of All. Jesus tells us to be last and not first, the poor shall be rich and the sick shall be well. In society today people try to climb the ladder of greatness. Jesus taught people to be a tiny seed and to grow and prosper. Congregants were each given a piece of paper in the shape of a seed on which to write down what they thought Jesus wanted them to do. These were placed in a flowerpot at The front of the church.

(Vicky Bremner photo) North Huron council briefs Loan added to taxes At the North Huron committee of the whole meeting on Sept. II, it was explained that the outstanding balance on the Blyth arena as of the end of July was $11,645.54. A total of $12,000 has been included in the 2006 budget to be applied to the loan. A letter was received from Todd MacDonald regarding the Blyth Minor Hockey pledge and the fact that they would not be able to pay $22,956.53. This will be added to the Blyth taxes for 2007 and 2008. *** At its regular meeting Sept. -18, council approved a committee of the whole recommendation that four or five public works employees be enrolled in the winter maintenance training sessions. Cost will be based on the number of people attending. Council also approved a recommendation that a $5,000 reserve bid be placed on the 1988 International truck at the county . auction. The committee of the whole was advised by clerk-administrator Kriss Snell that council needed to look at future development. He stressed the importance of preparing a document for developers outlining the municipality's standards and what could be expected from them. At the Sept. 18 meeting council authorized Snell to obtain a quote from B.M. Ross and Associates for the preparation of a development standards document. *** Deputy-reeve Murray Scott was taking a request from the 911 Ontario Advisory Board to county council. The board is apparently running out of funds and requesting a donation of $100 from each municipality. "I asked the chief if we need them or can we fix this locally and he said we need them," said Scott. Snell then asked if this wasn't something that should be county driven. 'I see it that way," said Scott, adding that he would be bringing it up at the next meeting. *** Joan Pletch is retiring from the Wingham Police Services Board. Reeve Doug Layton acknowledged her contribution and long service to the board saying Pletch was a "valuable person who would be greatly missed." *** Councillor Arnold Taylor said that Wheels Away was having a problem keeping up the numbers of board members. "We are looking at how to approch that." He also said th'at fundraising would be starting after Dec. 15 and that they are looking at getting a webpage designed. *** Bills and accounts totalling $247,146.81 were approved for payment. *** Council approved a donation of $100 to the Ontario Horticultural Society convention in Owen Sound. *** South Bruce sent a letter stating that they would not be able to pay any additional recreation costs to the North Huron Wescast Community Complex and suggested a fee for non-resident users.
