(David Emslie photo) By David Emslie BLYTH - An addition to Blyth's Secondary Plan of a Community Improvement Area was under discussion at a public meeting in the Blyth Memorial Hall on September 30. Cindy Fisher of the County of Huron Plan- ning Department explained that Blyth has had a Secondary Plan since 1979, and that this meeting was just to discuss a specific amendment to the plan. Miss Fisher noted why this addition is necessary. "In order to be eligible for pro- vincial grants such as the Ontario Neighborhood Improvement Plan (ONIP) and the Community Area Improvement Plan (CIAP) you have to have a Community Improvement Area in the Secondary Plan." A backround study was completed by the summer student, Anne Marie Howard, and it looked at the population and socio- economic characteristics, existing land use and existing services and facilities of the village. "It is part of the Community Improve- ment Policy, the province requires a background study," Miss Fisher said in ex- planation of the study. "The report tries to point out deficiencies in the village so those items might be eligible for grants. The study will provide backup for some of the applications." Following her explanation of the study, Miss Fisher noted that the current meeting was to look at suggestions for what needs to be worked on in town. "When it gets to the point of applying for grants, it will have to go to a public meeting to see if the public agrees with what needs to be done."' "The whole village is a Community Im- provement Area, in this case, we're looking Auburn couple feted before move Mr. and Mrs. William Seers entertained at their home on Saturday evening in honour of Mr. and Mrs. Orval McPhee, who have recently moved to their new home in Goderich.

When no questions were raised, Blyth Councillor Bill Manning noted, "To have in- telligent input, people""should know what is in place and what needs to be done."' In order to give the public some understa . ing of what needs to be repaired or installed in the village, Miss Fisher went through the background study. She said that areas that need improve- ment or expansion include, "the updating of Name winners at euchre game Euchre Last Mondy evening there were nine tables participating in euchre at the hall.

To this list she added improvement and expansion of the existing recreation facilities. When there were still no questions follow- ing her presentation of the study, Councillor Manning read a speech that focussed on the public's responsibility to make comments on issues that will affect the village. "The planners alone can not look after those who are yet to come, it will take all of us to make a commitment to their future,' he said. Later, he added, "Apathy (or non participation) will lead to regional government." A local citizen, Dave Lee, wanted to know Whether adding this amendment to the i Secondary Plan would affect it at all. Miss Fisher pointed out that it will just be added in. Mr. Lee also brought up the point that the village should be taking steps to lure businesses to the area. "When next year we have the review (of the secondary plan), that is the time to say whether or not there is too much industrial land or not enough," Miss Fisher stated in reply. ''In 1987 we will be looking at the plan, and there will be several public meetings. I will discuss the plan, and say, 'This is what is in it now, what would you like to see changed?"' "I hope when we have the review we will hear your input; council can't read your minds," she added. Lionel Wilder, a member of the Planning and Development Committee for the county supported Miss Fisher's comments when he stated, "You have a lot of time to do this (consider the plan), but don't delay, it is your chance to speak up." He added that once the plan is passed, it is very difficult td� change.
