Blyth class does environmental work
On June 20 at 10 a.m. in the
Christian Reformed Church of
Blyth, Rev. Heersink baptized the
infant daughter of Don and Bonnie
Bakelaar after they and the
congregation vowed to nurture and
help bring up the child in the
instruction of the faith.
The congregation responded with
the joyful singing of "Shine, Jesus,
Shine," then Rev. Heersink
preached the sermon titled
"Children and Parents" from the
text Ephesians 6: 4, "Fathers, do
not exasperate your children;
instead bring them up in the
training and instruction of the
Lord".

Families sometimes have trouble
with a child as he grows and
develops into his own person and
independence, he said. A child can
become rebellious and seemingly
doesn't listen which is very
frustrating. Often out of fear and
desire to protect the child from
making mistakes the parents
become overbearing. There comes
a point where we must let go and
let the child learn from their
mistakes and all we can do is pray.
Interference causes anger and
resentment. Bringing up children
isn't just quoting Bible tents or
church going but a blood, sweat
and tears task where we, though

The grade eight students from
Blyth Public School took part in a
very worthwhile cause on June 18.
The entire day was spent clean-
ing up the Blyth Brook from the
bridge on Highway 4 to the Arch.
Deputy Conservation Officer,
Kevin Coultes with the Ministry of
Natural Resources in Wingham
said the students were enthusiastic
and had a great time doing some-
thing good for the environment.
Blyth supplied the trucks into
which the garbage was dumped.
The three truckloads that were
removed included items such as gas
tanks, wire, pipe, tires and even a
bicycle or two.
The Blyth Brook is just one of
four streams that are to be rehabili-
tated in the Huron/Bruce riding.
The project led by Maitland Val-
ley Anglers Inc. is aimed at lower-
ing the summer stream
temperature, improving water
quality, reducing the silt load and
restricting livestock access to the
stream.
The first step in the rehabilitation
is the removal of the garbage.
The reconstruction includes sta-
bilizing stream banks, replacing
large boulders so that trout can find
shelter from its predators and creat-
ing narrower channels that will cre-
ate faster flow and deeper water.
Along the banks of the brook
fencing and tree planting will help
to slow the erosion.
All of these steps are to help in
re-establishing a rainbow trout pop-
ulation in the brook, said Kevin
Coultes.
The project relies on many com-
munity volunteers to provide mate-
rials and labour to insure success.
Kevin Coultes said the commu-
nity remains concerned about the
stream quality once they have
helped in the re-construction. The
perfect, must reflect in our lives our
commitment to the Lord, he said.
And with God's help we can do it.
The congregation reaffirmed its
commitment by singing "Precious
Lord."

ly catching on, " says Mr. Coultes.
