"Help Can Come in Many Guises"
was the theme of the devotional time
at the May gathering of the
Londesborough UCW on Monday,
May 15.
Laura Scott read Luke 10:25 to 37
which is the story of the Good
Samaritan. Then Laura, Harriett
Shillinglaw and Brenda Radford did
a little skit on that theme. A
discussion by the ladies present that
evening followed about times in
their lives when a 'good samaritan'
helped them out. Harriett ended this
part of the evening with a reading
that reminded the ladies to always
look below the surface of a person
before making a judgement.
President Helen Lobb conducted
the business. Families of the
congregation will be reminded that
the UCW are willing to assist with
the cost of sending a child from our
church to a faith based summer
camp. Sunday, May 28 is
Conference Sunday and in Terry's
absence the UCW will be leading the
morning service. The service will be
a celebration of 55 years of UCW in
the United Church of Canada.
And they're off!

Waterfront trail
considers Huron
expansion plan
By Shawn Loughlin
The Citizen
The Great Lakes Waterfront Trail
is looking to expand into Huron
County and that process will involve
two open houses, one of which will
be in Blyth.
Marlaine Koehler, executive
director of the Great Lakes
Waterfront Trail, was in Goderich to
speak to Huron County Council at
its May 17 committee of the whole
meeting. She discussed the
expansion of the trail into Huron
County and what that potential route
would look like.
While the trail is focused on Lake
Huron, there are a number of areas
where the Huron County portion of
the trail would move inland to
quieter, more cycling -friendly roads,
mostly between Bayfield and
Amberley. Highway 21, however,
will be the main vein for the trail.
In partnership with the Waterfront
Regeneration Trust, the county will
be hosting two open houses in order
to consult with members of the
public on preferred cycling routes
throughout the county. The proposed
trail route is far from written in stone
and organizers want input from the
public.
The first open house will be held
on Wednesday, May 31 at the Blyth
and District Community Centre
from 5-8 p.m. There is a scheduled
presentation on the proposed trail
that night at 5:15 p.m.
The second meeting will be at the

Blues. Supper will be at the Blyth
Inn. Contact Joan Goodall for a

The June 19 meeting will begin
with a turkey supper for members at
6:30 p.m. Monies from the meal will
be matched from UCW funds and
given to Barb Knox that evening for
the new camp washroom fund. Barb
will bring an update on things at the
camp.

Congratulations to everyone who

makes you a winner.
