Blyth Christian Reformed Church and as chaplain to the Blyth Legion.

for Gelwicks family
Council rejects bus loading zone
Reverend Roger Gelwicks, pas
tor for the last three years of the
Blyth Christian Reformed Church,
has accepted a call to the Commun
ity Christian Reformed Church in
Fort Wayne, Indiana, and leaves
BlythwithhisfamilyonMonday, to
take up his duties in his new charge
before the end of the month.
The family will be missed by
many in the area, as they were not
only fully involved in their church,
but were a very active part of
Blyth’s community life, with each
member of the family taking part in
a number of activities throughout
the years.
Rev. Gelwicks served as chap
lain to the Blyth Legion while he
was here, while his wife, Carolyn,
was the founder of the popular
inter-denominational Coffee
Break Bible Study sessions at the
church, as well as being involved in
ladies’ softball in the local league.
The Gelwicks’ three children,
Chad, 14,Todd, 13,andAmber,
11, were active members of both
their school and their community,
with all three children involved in
activities ranging from minor bail
to the church’s Cadet Corps and
Calvinettes.
“We leave with very mixed
feelings,’’ the American-born
Rev. Gelwicks said. “We will
certainly miss the people of Blyth
and the area, but at the same time,
we look forward to the challenge of
serving a much larger community,
and experiencing city life again.’’
The Gelwicks came to Blyth from
Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Aug
ust 23, 1984. Blyth was the young
pastor’s first charge, after serving
asan infantry mortarman in the
final stages of the Vietnam war and
attending the Grand Rapids semi
nary. Rev. Gelwicks preached his
farewell sermon here on August
16, and will be installed at his new
church on August 27, prior to
taking up his new duties on August
30.
Thefamilyhopesthatsome of
their Blyth parishioners will be
able to travel to Fort Wayne (a
six-hour drive) for their former
pastor’s installation ceremony,
and also invites all of them to keep
in touch as the years pass.
The Gelwicks new address is
2012 Forest Valley Drive, Fort
Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. 46815,
and their new phone number is
(219) 493-1009.
Corrections
When we make a mistake, we
make a dilly.
Last week The Citizen carried an
obituary for Selah Palmer Brecken
ridge. Since we knew of a woman
whose name is spelled much the
same way, we jumped to the
conclusion that the deceased was a
woman. It was a wrong assump
tion. A corrected obituary is
included in this issue of The Citizen
and we apologize for any distress or
embarrassment our error may
have caused.
In another error in an article on
submissions for homecare, we
erroneously said the chairman of
the Huron County Board of Health
was Brian McBurney. We were
looking at information on last
year’s committee structure when
the article was prepared. The
chairman of the board of health this
year is Grant Stirling.
The idea of creating a loading
zone for buses in front of Blyth
Memorial Hall to encourage buses
to park off main street and only
come on the street to unload or pick
up passengers heading for the
Blyth Festival was rejected by
Blyth village council August 11.
Helen Grubb, village clerk-trea
surer, related to council the story of
trying to convince a stubborn bus
driver to park his bus elsewhere
than directly in front of the bank on
main street. The bus driver did not
want to park off main street
because, he said, it meant having
to double park in the middle of
traffic when it came time to load his
passengers again after the play.
Given this problem Mrs. Grubb
suggested council might like to
create a no parking zone to
accommodate bus loading that
would stretch the wide of the
Memorial Hall property with park
ing prohibited from before until
after shows on matinee days and
from 7 to 11 at night,duringthe
Festival season.
She also pointed out that when
there is an emergency at the
theatre there is no room for parking
of emergency vehicles and they
have to tie up traffic by double
parking on the street.
“The problem 1 have,” said
Albert Wasson, “is that it’s too
many hours: too much time that
can’t be utilized for other parking
for the time of the problem.’’

concern over providing emergency
