Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Jan. 14 were Judy
Gleave and Myrtle Badley. Guest
organist was Lynda McGregor.
Ushering were Brenda, Brent and
Lori Brooks and Sharon Bromley.
Barb Hicks of Clinton was guest
speaker.
The children’s hymn was Spirit of
the Living God. The children came
to the front of the church during the
singing of the last verse. Mrs. Hicks
explained the 139th Psalm to them.She showed the children two springclothespins and asked Emily Phillipsto come to the front. She askedEmily to trust her to put theclothespin on her finger, then did thesame to some of the children.She then told them a true story ofa little boy who had asked God for amother and father. The little boyreceived a shoebox full of things for
a little boy but he said he didn’t want
it, he wanted a mother and father.
The missionary helped him go
through the shoebox to see what was
in it and in the very bottom they
found a picture of a couple in the
United States asking him to write to
them if he wished. Within a year the
little boy was adopted by the couple
and brought to the States to live. The
little boy had faith that God would
find him parents.
The lectionary readings were John17: 20-23 and Psalm 139: 1-6, 13-18, 23-24.The congregation was treated to aduet I Am the Light of the World byCheryl Cronin and Avon Corneil.Mrs. Hicks’ message to the adultswas Mission United. We cometogether to be a church united. Unityis one of the hardest things toaccomplish but it is very important
that the church be united. People
have many differences but one goal
to be united and to have faith in God
that He will carry them through.
Psalm 1329 tells Christians they
are loved and that God knows all
about them. They are special in
God’s eyes. They must love one
another as a church people.
The most important message is
that they become one in the Spirit
and to love one another.
Blyth welcomes new Radford’s owners to town
After decades of family
ownership, Radford’s in Blyth has
changed hands.
Dean Stewart took over ownership
of the business the beginning of the
year.
“He is eminently qualified,” said
Doug Scrimgeour, who operated the
business with his wife Diane
Radford. Leaving the business in his
hands was something we felt good
about.”
Radford’s was begun in the 1930s
and incorporated in 1960.
Stewart has been a co-owner of a
family-run aggregate operation in
his hometown of Magnetawan and
has 30 years of experience in the
industry.
Scrimgeour said Stewart has also
been a troubleshooter for the Tyler
Screen Company. “He travels all
over the world for that. He brings a
lot of credentials to the table.”
Stewart said after “running
across” Radford’s, a decision to
expand his ventures was reached.
“Through negotiations with Doug
we were able to come to an
agreement for purchase of the
operations.”
Few changes are planned.
However, Stewart has re-opened the
truck and trailer repair facility with
fully-licenced mechanics. This will
be managed by his son-in-law Ian
Hunter.
The hours will be extended as
well, with the shop being open from
7 a.m. -5 p.m. throughout the week
and from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on
Saturday.
Stewart said they will be adding
more staff and increasing the parts
that will be available.
“We are focussed at this point on
building business,” said Stewart.
“Ian and I are looking forward to
meeting people in the area and
providing them with the service they
have come to expect.”
Scrimgeour added, “I believe that
Dean and Ian will breathe a little life
into this. Running a businesses is
hard work, but they’ve got youth and
family involvment.”
