Rev. Robin McCauley invited the
children to come to the front and she
told them the parable of the mustard
seed. The children helped her plant
some mustard seed in a pot.
Rev. McCauley's message to the
adults. Riddled with Parables. Rev.
McCauley said that parables are to
teach the mystery ol the Kingdom of
Cod Jesus talked to the people from
a boat telling them the story that the
Kingdom ol Heaven mav be
compared to someone who sowed
good seed in his field but while
everyone was asleep the enemy
sowed weed seeds amongst the
wheat. The slaves asked the
householder if he wanted them to
pull out the weeds and lie said no
(hat the reapers could sort them out
at the time of harvest.
We are like the weeds and the
good seed growing up together and
will be sorted out at our time ol
judgement, she said. A moment of
silent meditation followed the
sermon. Bodie Craig favoured the
congregation with another solo.

There is yet one more street to be
renamed in Blyth.
At the Monday night meeting of
council clerk-administrator John
Stewart explained that 911 has asked
that the most easterly portion of
Drummond Street be renamed.
“Back when we first did the
numbers for 911. they said that it
would be alright to leave Drummond
Street as is.” said Stewart. “Now
they've said it’s not okay, that it
could be confusing to someone
unfamiliar with the area when
they’re trying to respond to an
emergency.”
The problem, he explained, is that
the two portions of the street are
separated by a small bit of land.
Stewart said it makes more sense
to rename the most easterly portion
as there are fewer residences.
Residents will be asked for input,
keeping in mind that duplications
throughout the county should be
avoided.
Stewart also explained that he had
not proceeded yet with renaming of
Sunset Drive as he wanted to make
sure there would be no further
changes required. “This is about the
fourth time we’ve had to rename a

can be expensive so I have been
trying to make sure with the 911
people that there are no streets left to
change.”

RE: FEES FOR FALSE ALARMS
AND NUISANCE ALARMS
1 On July 13, 2005 the Blyth & District Fire Department
; adopted a policy to charge for false alarms and/or nuisance
\ alarms. When a false alarm or nuisance alarm results from
j a direct hookup to a monitoring system, a fee will be
charged to cover the fire department’s expenses for
responding to the alarm.
In each calendar year, one false alarm will be allowed
without charge. This notice will be issued as a warning and
any subsequent calls, if the fire department is dispatched,-
will be invoiced at a rate of $500 per response
