A Canadian’s international
success is always something fellow
Canadians like to hear, especially
when that success is in print and
international.
Former Blyth resident Shane
Lodor is a Canadian exchange pilot
who is currently stationed at an air
station in Elizabeth City, North
Carolina.
Lodor, who holds the rank of
Captain in the Canadian Air Force,
went to Elizabeth City in 2005 and is
not scheduled for transfer back to
Canada until 2008.
A detailed story on Lodor
appeared in The Daily Advance,
Elizabeth City’s local newspaper,
outlining Lodor’s background and
how a Canadian soldier came to be
stationed in North Carolina.
Lodor currently lives in Camden
with his wife Melissa and two sons,
Dana, five, and Ashton, three. He is
the son of Keith and Linda of Blyth.
When Lodor comes back to his
native Canada, he will have several
opportunities here after his time in
Elizabeth City.
These opportunities include work
at a search and rescue station in
Canada, in Trenton, Ontario or in
Greenwood, Nova Scotia, working
as an instructor pilot or perhaps even
working at search and rescue
headquarters in Ottawa.

BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Jan. 28 was Joan Clark.
Guest organist was Nancy Park.
Ushering were Lori Brooks, Nicole
Kerr and Terry Richmond.
Bruce Whitmore was guest
speaker.
Everyone was asked to start
making something for Women’s
Day Out, which this year is Hooked
on Hobbies.
The children’s hymn was I Love
To Tell the Story. The children came
to the front of the church during the
singing of the last verse. Mr.
Whitmore had a paper heart in his
hand and asked the children what
happened to their heart when people
said things that hurt them. He
crunched the heart while the
children reported words that had
been spoken to them.
He then asked them to tell him of
all the nice things that had been said
to hem as he unfolded the heart. He
asked the children to look at the
heart and see the creases that were
still in the heart. Even though there
are nice things said there are still sad
things in hearts when people have
said bad things.
The children went downstairs to
Sunday school.
The lectionary scriptures were
Isaiah 49:1-4, Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-6,
8-10 and Luke 4:14-21, 28-30.
Mr. Whitmore’s message to the
congregation was The Power of
Words. He told a story of a
grandfather babysitting his
granddaughter. He heard her saying
her prayers which were ABC. He
asked her why she was saying ABC
and her reply was God will know the
words I want to say. Sometimes the
less said the more meaning it has. A
few wise words are very powerful.
Mr. Whitmore quoted George
Burns, “A good sermon should be a
good beginning, a good ending and
they should be close together.”
Kind words are very powerful and
they make a difference.
Morris-Turnberry councillors gota primer in asphalt paving at theirJan. 23 meeting.
Barry Cookson of Lavis
Contracting Co. Ltd. in Clinton
explained to councillors why they
might choose HL2 thin-lift asphalt
surfacing of some roads instead of
using tar and chip paving.
While the asphalt, which uses a
smaller-diameter particle and more
asphalt compound than regular
asphalt, is more expensive than tar
and chip, it lasts longer, it is less
likely to rut and creates less noise.
It’s also 100 per cent recyclable and
gives better visibility of a centre line,Cookson said.Cookson said his company hadapplied this mix to roads in theMunicipality of Kincardine andHuron-Kinloss. Some municipalitiessay they have reduced wear on
snowplow blades because the
surface is less abrasive, he said.
But councillor Mark Beaven noted
that Huron East had gone to tar and
chip on less-travelled roads because
it was half to 60 per cent of the cost
of asphalt.
Cookson admitted the surface was
more expensive but since it lasted 10
years instead of five to seven, the
investment looks better. After 10
years another layer of the asphalt can
be applied giving a good base to theroad, he said.If there is heavier traffic, such asfrom heavy feed trucks, then HL4, ablend that uses larger aggregate,is a better investment, Cookson said.Council received Cookson’spresentation as information toinform future decisions.
