Ron Taylor and Trudy Taylor
greeted worshippers and handed out
the bulletins at Knox United Church
on Sunday, Jan. 15 — Epiphany 2.
Student minister Brian Hymers
welcomed the congregation and lit
the Christ Candle rekindling the
flame as a sign of the Magi returning
to their homeland and spreading the
good news of the Messiah's birth.
Help us to continue spreading the
good news as did the men from the
East so long ago.
After the gathering prayer, the
congregation sang "This is the Day".

Wightman, who both celebrated a

Jackie Hymers and Marlene
Procter were each wished speedy

The call to worship was read
responsively. After singing the

Brian reflected on the baptism
of the children when they
were babies, the parents brought
Letters to the Editor
Heritage Plan concerns Storey
THE EDITOR,
Do you know anything about the
Huron Natural Heritage Plan?
I recently attended the grain
farmers meeting at Holmesville.
Two Huron County planners made a
presentation, which I had seen
before in Zurich on Oct. 27, 2016.
Many people at the meeting had
not heard anything about this
plan. The plan is to take
private property without
compensation. According to County
hired lawyer (Peter Pickfield) you
Writer concerned with
property loss from plan
THE EDITOR,
Huron County Council is meeting
resistance from its ratepayers as
property owners research the draft
Huron Natural Heritage Plan. With
buffer strips added around the
significant natural heritage features
and connecting links of patches,
thickets, fence lines, wind breaks,
wetlands and meadows, some
properties will lose 50 per cent of
crop land.
Recommendations include:
• All natural heritage features in
Huron County should be
maintained, restored or enhanced.
• Targets for natural cover in
Huron County should be based on
the sound ecological principals.
• Minimum of 30 per cent forest
cover, minimum of 10 per cent
wetland cover and six per cent of
each subwatershed, and/or 40 per
cent of historical watershed
coverage (whichever is greater).
• Less than 10 per cent impervious
cover.
• Minimum of 10 per cent forest
interior (>100m from forest edge).

I believe urban properties are not
exempt either from Environmental

ban on lawns, the harmful effects of

Let's do some research. Google
"Huron Natural Heritage Plan" and
download the PDF of the HNHP
technical document of 117 pages.
Another, PDF HNHP
Implementation Strategy is shown.
Basically, it's a summary booklet.
Best to read and study the larger
document. Put it in a binder.
Also, look up the Provincial Policy
Statement. In section 2.1.9 it reads
the following: "Nothing in policy 2.1
is intended to limit the ability of
agricultural uses to continue".
The planners said there will be
another public meeting of the Huron
Natural Heritage Plan. Have
knowledge of this plan before
attending. Keep your ears and eyes
open for a date.

them to church to be baptized.
We are all a child of God. God
knows our journey. Regardless of
how bad we are God always loves
us.
The children adjourned to Sunday
School. The congregation listened to
the word of God as Elly Dow read
scripture from Isaiah 49: 1-7 and
John 1: 29-42. The congregation
sang Psalm 42 (As the Deer Pants
for the Water).
Brian reflected on Jesus and His
birth and baptism, the significance
of the Magi, women going to the
tomb, Harod and the dove that
was released from Noah's
Ark and returned with an
olive branch.
Some of us are like doves; we pass
the word of God on to other people.
After the hymn of response,
"Blessed Assurance" was sung
Nancy Jardin reported on the Minute
for Missions for the two previous
weeks, because there was no church
last week.
Ken Procter and Larry Harper took
up the offering which was dedicated
and "Praise God from Whom All
Blessings Flow" was sung. The
closing hymn, "I Love to Tell the
Story", the benediction and blessing,
"Go Now In Peace" concluded the
morning worship service.
On Sunday, Jan. 29 there will be
lunch after church. Please bring
sandwiches or dessert. Annual
meeting will follow later that
afternoon.
