Taking a break Many establishments and organizations have been holding coffee breaks for the Alzheimer Society of Huron County in recent weeks, so last week it was Cinnamon Jim’s turn in Brussels. Jim Lee welcomed some special guests to his restaurant on Friday morning in the form of Julie B. and Nick Sawicki from 101.7 The One, who broadcast live from the Brussels location from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. that day while raising money for this worthy cause. (Shawn Loughlin photo) HELEN GOWINGHelen Gowing, a long-time Blythmerchant, village councillor andcultural supporter, died peacefully inher 88th year at Clinton PublicHospital on Monday, October 21,2013. Mrs. Gowing, with her sister Evelyn Turvey, ran a women’s clothing store, The Needlecraft Shoppe for 28 years, out of the building now occupied by Blyth Decor. It was the front portion of the home she shared with her husband Norman, who ran a service station next door where the Blyth Corner Café now operates. She served as president of the Blyth Board of Trade in the early 1970s and it was in that capacity in 1972 that she organized a party of volunteers to clean and repaint Blyth Memorial Hall auditorium so it could be used when the Board of Trade hosted the Queen of the Fair pageant for the Blyth Fall Fair. It was the first step that eventually led to the renovations that made it possible for the Blyth Festival to begin using the building in 1975. In 1975 she became a member of the founding board of directors of Blyth Centre for the Arts, the parent body of the Blyth Festival, and served on the board for over 20 years. She served several terms as a councillor on the Blyth Village Council in the later 1970s and early 1980s, one of the first women ever to serve on village council. She was also a member of the Eastern Star in Blyth for many years. For her community service she was chosen Blyth’s Citizen of the Year in 1994. In recent years she decided she would like to play a keyboard so she could entertain herself and she took lessons, becoming remarkably accomplished for someone who started so late in life. When she moved to Huronview she bought a small keyboard to take with her. She was born Helen Turvey on May 14, 1926, the youngest of eight children born to the late Robert and Mary (Woodrow) Turvey who lived on Con. 2 of Morris Twp., east of Browntown. She married Norman Gowing on Sept. 11, 1943 and they lived in Brussels until moving to Blyth in 1947 with their oldest daughter, Gail. He predeceased her on Dec. 29, 2003. She is survived by her daughters Gail Chalmers, Kincardine; Glenna, and her husband Ross Pannabecker, RR5, Goderich; Carol and her husband Bob Mommersteeg, Bayfield; and Kim and her husband Bill Stride, Breslau. She was the cherished grandmother of nine grandchildren and six great- grandchildren. Besides her husband she was predeceased by her sisters Jean Cook, Adella Shaw, Myrtle Vodden and Evelyn Turvey, brothers Ross and Lloyd Turvey and infant brother Glen Turvey. She was also predeceased by her son-in-law Wally Chalmers. Visitation was held at the Blyth Chapel of the Falconer Funeral Homes on Oct. 23. The funeral was held at the same location, Thursday, Oct. 24 at 11 a.m. Interment was in Blyth Union Cemetery.
