From there, he went to work in a bank for a number of years, even serving in Listowel, where he met his wife, Carol, a native of Mount Forest. He worked for the Department of National Revenue at Ottawa for a number of, years before heeding the call to become an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church. As they were looking for some- one to replace Rev. Ivan Dambro- witz, members • of the Bluevale- Belmore search committee request- ed that Mr. Barr preach for a call earlier this year. He also was inter- viewed by the committee. His call to Bluevale-Belmore was official on May 18 and the family moved here late last month. The Barrs have two daughters, 13 -year-old Lindsay and six-year- old Barbara. Mr. Barr says the people of Blue - vale ,and Belmore have been very welcoming to him .and his family. He sees a lot of potential with the congregations and the community. "People here have a good block of faith upon which to build," he says. Faith .is . the reason he is here. The challenge of the ministry is to bring the word of God to the peo- ple, not just on Sundays, but every day. He looks forward to serving and working with the people of Bluevale and Belmore. : Meals on Wheels...is marking its 25th anniversary in Wingham this year.

Council updates road plan Turnberry council updated the township's five-year plan for road projects at the second August meet- ing held last week at Bluevale. Although the forecast is not "cast in stone", it provides council with a working plan for road upgrading and is required by the provincial ministry of transportation, which provides funding for roads. On the books for 1996 is con- struction of three streets in Blue - vale, Orange, William and Jacob and work on an associated drain. The following year, 1997, coun- cil has plans to pave those streets and do some construction on the B- line. A grader purchase is projected for 1998, while the 6th concession is slated for upgrading in 1999. If all goes according to plan, the 10th concession and McGlynn's sideroad will receive attention in the year 2000, while the Turnberry- Culross boundary is slated for work in 2001. At the Aug. 1 meeting of coun- cil, a delegation presented its con- cerns about the condition of the Turnberry-Culross boundary, re- questing that it be put in the five- year forecast for paving. Council agreed to discuss the possibility when updating the forecast. Police reportnumber of by-law infractions Over the summer, the Wing- ham Police Department have laid a number of charges under the Noise By -Law, for loud parties, music and dogs that persist in barking. It is the right of each citi- zen to be able to enjoy their prop- erty without having to listen to these types of noises. The Police Service has also laid a large number of By -Law charg- es governing sidewalks. It is an offence to park your vehicle with any portion of it blocking the sidewalk. in many instances, the vehicle blocked half or all of the sidewalk. These sidewalks are very important to our very young and elderly citizens who may find it difficult if not hazardous to have to go around cars parked on the sidewalk. Bicycles are becoming another area of concern, withpedestrians having to dodge them on the main street or leek both ways before stepping out from a store. There is. POLICE REPORT a By -Law in place that prohibits riding bikes on Josephine Street south of Alfred. If parents dein't think their children can negotiate traffic on Josephine St.: then they should be instructed to push their bikes down the sidewalk. These By -Laws have been passed by council after -a great deal' of thought and input from the publico and they are there to be enforced, Back to School SALE August 21 - September 2 0 11 1 Summer Clearance Buy 1, get 2nd at 1/2 prices (applies to sale prices) Men's &Ladies Casual Clothing COMMUNITY CALENDAR Gorrie, 335-3525 • Wingham, 357-2636 Listowel, 291-5100 "INSURING TOMORROW TODAY" Thursday.
