'Greeting at Blyth United Church were Lavern Clark and Faye Bolger. Ushering were Joann McDonald and Lloyd and Donna Sippel. Rev. Dr. Eugen Bannerman wel- comed guest soloist Barbara Dunn- Prosser and guest musician, Lynda McGregor. Rev. Bannerman's message to the children was a taped story of George Handel of how he became a com- poser growing up in an orphanage in England. Barbara Prosser sang one of the songs Handel composed, Rejoice Greatly. Rev. Bannerman's message to the adults was about how Handel's Messiah helps the poor. Handel con- ducted a benefit performance him- self and freed 142 men from debtor's prison. Handel was a religious man and he told a lot of the Bible stories through his music. The first per- formance of the Messiah was an little too late. At the Jan. 21 meeting of council, during a discussion of the OCCOPS impromptu, sing-a-long performed in an English pub while waiting for the weather to clear so he could go to Ireland by boat. Handel's Messiah has touched the lives of many. A man once said "Handel's mes- sage in music has probably done more to convince thousands of peo- ple that there is a God about us, than all the theological works ever writ- ten." Barbara Prosser then sang I Know My Redeemer Liveth. Quote: Live's precious things are priceless things, That money cannot buy A song that rises from the heart A glimpse of God's blue sky, A child's hug, a smile, a kiss, The joys you cannot tell, These precious things you cannot buy - They are not made to sell. *** (Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services) hearing set for Feb. 5, Clerk-Administrator John Stewart Thirteen teams of euchre from Blyth Legion went to Exeter on Saturday to play zone euchre.

In response to a question about the origins of the flyer, Reeve Doug Layton said, "Rather than making a phone call or coming in to see some- one, they see a notice in the paper and take off with this. It's a little frustrating." *** In a report from the newly estab- lished ad hoc heritage committee, Councillor Archie MacGowan requested a study be done of the post office and town hall in Wingham, as well as Memorial Hall in Blyth, so that there will be a "broad picture regarding revenue, expenditures and capital costs. The cost would be roughly $600-$800. Council approved the study by motion. *** Council agreed to investigate the option to have the Lockridge arena in Wingham demolished. *** It was decided to purchase a half- page ad at a cost of $175 in the Huron -Pioneer Thresher & Hobby Association's Heritage Book. *** Stewart told council that the regis- tration for Communities in Bloom as been submitted for 2002.
