need to be enforced.
Chief building official Steve
Fortier agreed that it would be up to
his discretion to judge if the
two units appeared to be one
house.
But councillor Mark Beaven
called for less interference.
“If I want to be able to build a god-
awful house, why shouldn’t I?”
he wondered. “We should
try to stay out of people’s
lives as much as possible.”
Council’s slight change
in wording emphasized that
the two joined houses were
to appear as if they were one
house.
Councillors also agreed to a
housekeeping amendment that
would allow a Lower Town couple
to build a separate garage on a
corner lot.
Sympathy is extended to Enid
MacDonald and family on the death
of Enid’s sister Isabel Holland of
Kitchener.
Sympathy is also extended to the
family of Deanna Hollinger, who
passed away this past week.

The dog show, by all reports, was
another success and the weather co-
operated with sunshine and warm
days.
BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, July 13 were Ollie and
Bodie Craig. Ushering were Nancy
Hakkers, Terry Richmond and Lois
van Vliet. Margaret Kai was music
director. The choir sang It’s a Song
of Praise for the Makers during the
processional.
Guest speaker David Onn
welcomed everyone to church. He
introduced Rev. Gary Clark who was
a member of the choir for that day.
The call to worship was followed
by the first hymn, Jesus Love Me.
The choir sang two anthems,What
Does The Lord Require of You? and
Make a Joyful Noise – Psalm 100.
Lorna Fraser told the children’s
story. The next hymn was, All
Things Bright and Beautiful.
The scripture reading, Ephesians
5:19-20 was read by Ollie Craig and
followed by the hymn, Let All
Things Now Living.
David’s message to the adults was,
The Church as Community. God
loves a community. As church
attendance declines it is hard to keep
the churches going. God’s message
should be shared, Where two or
three are gathered together, I am
there. There has been conflict all
through history and people should
work together to end these conflicts.
Some of these conflicts can be
removed by faith in God. God is
showing people the way to work
together to keep their church and
community going. With the love and
support of each other, they will win
the battles.
David challenged people to say, I
am a member of Blyth United
Church, a community church.
While the offering was received
Grant Sparling and Cappy Onn
played a violin duet. The dedication
prayer was followed with the choir
singing, Eagles Wings with Cheryl
Cronin singing the solo parts.
The Lord’s Prayer was repeated in
unison.

Rachel Cluney from Aurora, who was in Blyth to visit her aunt and see the participants in the
dog show, spent a sunny summer day at the playground. She took a second to strike a pose
on the jungle gym. (Bonnie Gropp photo)
