By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
The weekend of Aug. 19 and 20
could see thousands of people
arrive in northern Huron to feed
their love of motorcycles and recre
ational vehicles.
Speaking on behalf of her hus
band Brian, Blyth business owner
Lisa Love attended the April 3
Blyth council meeting to discuss
details for a planned recreational
vehicle and motorcycle show and
flea market at Threshers Park in
late summer.
Hoping to take advantage of the
Walton motocross scheduled for
the same weekend, Love said her
husband wants to provide another
activity in the area for the thou
sands who will be attending the
motocross weekend.
In co-operation with Chris Lee,
host of the motocross, Love plans
to advertise the show through
motocross competitions during the
UCW guest speaker
talks of life changes
The UCW of Blyth United
Church met Tuesday, March 28.
Bernice McClinchey and
Dorothy Daer opened the meeting
with worship on the theme, Life’s
Changes.
They gave the story of Naomi
and her daughters-in-law Orpah
and Ruth. When Naomi’s husband
and sons passed away, she was
bitter, changed her name to Mara,
and left Moab for Bethlehem. Ruth
did not return to her parents, but
went with Naomi and worked in the
fields; thus displaying the love
which is spoken of in I Corinthians
13.
Candice Howson conducted the
business. On June 3, in Victoria
Park, London, Celebrate 2000 will
be held. Campsite Day at
Menesetung will be held at 9:30
a.m. Lunch is potluck.
Guest speaker was Barb Hicks.
She spoke of people having had life
changes. Everyone will eventually
have a problem, she said, so live
with a problem, or be a problem.
Some youth are in trouble and
frightened. “We no longer have

coming season as well as at other
motorcycling events.
It is hoped a shuttle bus service
can be provided so attendees at
either event will not have to worry
about moving their campers or
other vehicles to visit the neigh
bouring community.
Due to a Lions Club ball tourna
ment scheduled for the same week
end in Blyth, Councillor Doug
Scrimgeour suggested the camp
grounds and west parking lot area
could be fenced off for the motor
cycle show to allow for controlled
access. Entry could be gained from
County Rd. 25 (Blyth Road) with
emergency exits at other locations.
Love said that arrangement
would work as they were planning
separate ticket prices for the
show/flea market and for the pig
roast and dance.
Offers will be made to local
groups such as minor hockey or the
figure skating club to help run the
gates for a portion of the funds
raised by the show.

content; she said. “We need the gift
of listening. It takes time but is
more important than giving
advice.”
The most important thing is
relationships with family and
friends. Bitterness is unhealthy.
Everybody deals with pain or grief
differently. People don’t care how
much you know until they know
how much you care,” she said. “All
want to be loved, wanted and
accepted. Life is difficult but we
have a choice. We can become
bitter or better.”
Lunch was served by Hannie
Meier, Linda Meier and Donna
Hamm.
