our people before,” Councillor
Brock Vodden said. “I would object
to any solution involving a joint fire
board.”
Councillor Bernie Bailey took
issue with all three option, stating
that they weren’t options at all.
“They may call them options, but
they’re demands,” he said. “They’re
just demands.”
Councillor Alma Conn agreed
with Bailey and said she didn’t
appreciate the fact that Morris-
Turnberry, in the letter, requested a
response by a certain date and that
Morris-Turnberry called this their
“final negotiation”.
“That simply isn’t true,” she said.
“We have a contract with Morris-
Turnberry and we haven’t received
any negotiation attempts since it was
made. This is their first negotiation
attempt.”
She said that the three options, or
demands as her and Bailey
had dubbed them, weren’t
acceptable.
“Option one has failed,” she said.
“Option two would have the Blyth
hall covering Morris-Turnberry and
a Morris-Turnberry hall covering
Wingham Ward. Option three
doesn’t make sense. We can’t charge
by a number of people or cost per
head. They agreed to the first
contract three years ago and they
agreed with a renewal that only
included a CPI increase.”
Reeve Neil Vincent stated that
North Huron Township has
attempted to remedy this issue
before but that Morris-Turnberry
hasn’t taken them up on their
offers.
“On numerous occasions I have
requested that Morris-Turnberry
Council give me some idea of what
part of our budget they would like to
discuss,” he said. “I’ve asked them
to show me what line of their
operating budget they have a
problem with and there are only two
lines that they have responded with:
the operating capital in the operating
budget that needs to be there to
replace anything that may break
down and the bottom line.”
Vincent stated that North Huron
has more than $2.1 million invested
in the fire service above the
capital cost and he feels that they
are already subsidizing their
neighbours when they only ask
them to help with capital and supply
costs.
Council decided to respond to
Morris-Turnberry with a request for
a meeting to discuss the issues
revolving around the fire protection
issue. While the motion requested
one public meeting to be as
transparent as possible, it was
eventually changed to two meetings,
one for closed session and one for
public viewing.
The addendum was made as Conn
believed that having the issues
discussed between council in front
of the public would just lead to “a
room full of angry people” and was
later justified as being an in-camera
meeting to discuss issues regarding
identifiable individuals and the
security of the property of the
township.

of primarily in relation to God. “The
Lord our God is holy”. From the
beginning, Adam and Eve were
required to distance themselves from
the forbidden fruit. That was the
elementary example of holiness.
Abstaining from things that God
forbids us to do is an act of holiness.
Holiness is God’s permanent crown.
It is the “shining of all His
perfections,” as the Puritans used to
say. Holiness is the backdrop for all
else the Bible declares about God.
Muslims bear witness, that “there
is no God besides Allah. He alone is
the Allah and has no partners, and
that Muhammad is his messenger.
The other pillars of Islam are to
establish the ritual prayers; give
charity to the needy, perform the
pilgrimage to Mecca and to fast
during the month of Ramadan. In
Islam Holiness is made reference to
submission to Allah. In Biblical
context Holiness is a way of
participation in God’s holy nature.
The concept of submission
emphasized God’s identification
with his creatures. You shall be holy,
for I YAHWEH your God, am holy”
Lev. 19:2 a call renewed in Peter
1:13-16.
Holiness in the Early Church
Fathers, David Rainey writes,
Holiness begins in the doctrine of
God and it is through scripture that
God has communicated to humanity
the objective knowledge of the
Divine. Of primary importance was
John 1:14, “The Word became flesh
and lived among us.” This was the
transcendent God now entering into
human life in order to restore fallen
and corrupt humanity. The Early
Church Fathers understood that they
had separated themselves from
Greek culture and philosophy by
asserting this truth and in doing so
had established the doctrine of
holiness in a God of love who
condescended into human life.
Adewuya, J. Ayodeji, Church of
God Theological Seminary, writes
from an African perspective argues
that Paul’s view of holiness in
Romans 6-8 is grounded in
relationship with God, involving
separation, commitment, and ethical
purity. Paul’s view on holiness has to
do with communal holiness within
the people of God, the goal of which
is to make God known to the wider
society. It is a call to the Roman
Christians, and by implication,
believers in our present day, to live
an alternative lifestyle, to be a model
of God’s holiness, in order to make
him known to the wider society.
In Christianity, Holiness is
grounded in Christ, who became like
us in order to sanctify us. Our
holiness is discovered in Christ, the
starting point for theology and the
starting point for holy living.
According to the orthodox
theologians of this era, it was only in
realizing the starting point, that is,
Christ that we can begin to
comprehend participation in the life
of holiness.
Christian holiness is born of a
relationship with Jesus that is
nurtured and grows as we become
seekers after the mind of Christ.
Holiness is Christ-likeness”
(Holiness Today, August 2001.).
John Wesley used the term
“Perfect Love Holiness” What that
means is that when we love God
with all our heart, mind, soul, and
strength, then our love for our
neighbour, our words, our actions,
and our thoughts, will be governed
by pure love.
God chose us out of love and for
us to be holy, we have to adopt an
approach where we can love God
and one another. To be holy is to do
justice, love mercy and walk humbly
before all. Essentially, we are to live
in a way where the world around us
gets a glimpse of God. During the
Holy Week we draw close to God
and to one another in the ministry of
Jesus Christ.

Wingham Police Chief Tim Poole
had one thing to say regarding North
Huron Township Council’s efforts to
create a no-smoking area around
local schools; less is better.
The no smoking bylaw was
considered by council in hopes of
limiting the exposure of new
Maitland River Elementary School
students to smoking on their way to
and from school.
Poole, who was responding to
discussions council had regarding a
no smoking area one block out from
all Wingham-area schools, said that
there were just too many questions
regarding a smoking ban on an area
that big.
“A one block radius from the
schools will create a rather large
area,” he said. “With the schools in
Wingham, a one block radius would
create a large amount of no smoking
areas south of the river. We have F.E.
Madill Secondary School, Sacred
Heart Catholic School, Wingham
Public School and the Baptist
School on Edwards Street.”
Poole said a one-block radius
could affect private property,
including backyards.
“There would be all sorts of
questions,” he said. “Could people
not go for an evening walk and have
a cigarette? It would be a little too
much for enforcement.”
Poole stated that other
municipalities have no smoking
bylaws and most state a 10-metre no
smoking area is observed around
schools, playgrounds, parks and
splashpads, but not a block.
“The most comprehensive model I
found was Woodstock,” he said.
“They don’t allow smoking within
30 metres of a playground, 15
metres of a sports or playing field
and nine metres from municipal
buildings.
“I contacted Woodstock Police
Chief Rod Freedman to see how the
bylaws are enforced and he said that
all the bylaws are enforced by bylaw
enforcement officers and health
inspectors,” he said. “Since we don’t
have bylaw enforcement officers, it
would fall to the police.”
The Avon Maitland District
School Board and the Huron County
Health Unit currently monitor
smoking on school properties
according to Poole. An enforcer
comes from the Health Unit and
hands out tickets for those found
smoking.
“The fine is $310 and those tickets
are given out,” he said.
When discussing the issue with
individuals from the school, Poole
found that moving the smokers
would probably not stop people
from smoking and would, instead,
cause disruptions at the school.
“I have met with some of the
students and teachers at [F.E. Madill
Secondary School] and some of the
teachers are addicted to tobacco,” he
said. “They would not be allowed to
smoke during their small breaks and
would not be able to feed their
addiction.
“They wouldn’t be able to
function properly as a teacher is
what they told me,” Poole said.
The students said that if the bylaw
was enforced they would simply
move to where they could smoke
and risk being late and disrupting
classes.
Poole said that the main problem
is that the students smoke on private
property where a bylaw would be
harder to enforce.
He said that most students smoke
on CKNX property, a radio station
adjacent to the high school.
Poole’s final concern was the cost
of enforcing the bylaw. He said that
while it could initially provide some
income for the township, it could
