Council passes new street names
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
It was back to the beginning with
one and something entirely different
for another as North Huron council
finally made a decision on Monday
night, on re-naming two Blyth
streets.
The reason for re-naming is a
result of 911 requesting non
duplication of street names within
the county.
While council had originally
decided that Sunset Drive be named
Sunward Drive following input
from residents on the street,
opposition had come from other
residents who felt the name had no
historic significance.
However, at the Monday night
meeting, Glenyce Snell, whose
parents were one of the original
home owners on the street felt
Sunward was appropriate.
She noted that the people who first
built there had named the street
Sunset, thus Sunward was the next
best.

The Blyth Legion Branch 420

was discussion regarding the Branch

February.
The Blyth Business Association
and the Blyth Lions will all be
involved.
Thelma Johnston, Branch 420

A minute’s silence was observed
to remember soldiers.
Rev. Robin McGauley asked the
children to come to the front for
their story and they all brought the
baskets of food for the Food Bank.
Rev. McGauley explained about
poppies, after which she pinned a
poppy on each of them.
They all sang The Lord's Prayer
together.
Jonathon Hakkers held the candle
to be lit from the candles at the front
of the church for the children to take
downstairs with them for Sunday
school.
The readings were Joshua 24: 1-
3a, 14-25, Psalm 78 and Matthew
25: 1-13. These were read by Jessica
Sparling.
Rev. McGauley’s message to the
adults was Covenant People.
After Moses died, Joshua led the
people.
The Israelites were not living up
to their promise of not to worship
other gods.
Dec; 4 is the covenant service at
Blyth^Jnited Church.
Also, members of the Blyth Idea
Group (BIG) had suggested William
Wilson Boulevard in recognition of
one of Blyth’s leading pioneers.
However, in a letter to council
Snell had stated that she did not
agree that this was “a suitable name
for this lovely street.”
With only four residences she felt
the name was too long. “I feel we
should marry the street name with
the street. I don’t feel a huge name
should be attached to it.”
As for historic significance,
Sunset Drive has only been in the
village since 1950, she said.
“We have been dealing with this
quite awhile,” said councillor
Arnold Taylor. “Myself, I like to
listen to the people directly related
to the street.”
A motion passed to rename the
street Sunward Drive.
However, when
council was going

After the membership report
Marguerite Peckitt’s name was
drawn in the membership early bird
draw.
There was lots of activity at the
Branch Friday evening, as the
Legion held a fish fry.
The fish was prepared by Branch
218 Brussels. Many homemade pies
were generously donated.
Immediately after the fish fry the
Legion held its meat draw
downstairs.
The upstairs was cleaned up in
time for the dart league.

Mary Lou Stewart, left, received second place in the
Legion’s scrapbook competition. Blyth Legion president
Thelma Johnston makes the presentation, fp/ioto subm/tted;
was present, to speak.
“It’s a very bad choice. In trying
for a historical connection I’m not
sure it is.”
Brechen is believed Jo be the
birthplace of the Drummond family
who settled in Blyth, however,
Vodden said it is uncertain whether
this is fact of even which Brechen
they may have come from, as
there are apparently two with
different spellings.
“Sunward and Brechen don’t
make sense,” he said.
BIG had
McNall Drive
war hero.
However,
Nesbitt proposed Templeton as an
option as that was the name of
the village’s first postmaster and
store owner. “And I like the sound of
it.”
The motion passed.
Deputy-reeve Murray Scott then
asked Vodden how he felt council
should continue in the future
when streets need to be renamed.
Vodden said a set of basic
suggested George
in honour of a local
councillor Murray
The door-to-door poppy campaign
took place Saturday morning and
members managed to get finished
just as the rain came.
Later, the lounge was opened
early, as the Paisley Branch was
running a mystery bus tour and
Blyth Branch was one of their stops.
The comradeship was enjoyed
by all. During this visit many
squares were filled on the $100
bill draw.
Sunday morning the Legion and
Ladies Auxiliary members paraded
into the Blyth Community Church
of God for a remembrance service.
Let us relax you

polish.

principles needs to be established
with names chosen on historic value.
He also hinted that Templeton
may not have been one of the
better choices.
“Templeton was one of the earlier
settlers, but there are a lot of
people who have contributed more
than being a merchant.”
