BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday. July 3 was Joann
MacDonald. Ushers were Karen
Giousher. Rob and Karen Mason
and Margaret Kai was guest
organist. Emily Phillips welcomed
everyone to church.
For the children’s story Emily
read the book A Very Special Critter.
In the story the teacher told the
critters they would have a new
special student coming to school
tomorrow. The new student's name
was Alex and he was in a wheelchair
and came to school on a special bus
Everyone had lots of questions.
Alex could do most things lor
himself except he needed help
getting over bumps and getting
things down from the top shell. Alex
was a very good artist and won a
prize. Everyone shared in his prize
which was ice cream. If everyone
works together many things can be
accomplished, said Emily.
The lectionary gospel reading was
Matthew II: 25-30. The responsive
Psalm 145 was led by Ollie Craig.
Emily introduced the
congregation to the new minister.
Rev. Robin McGauley. Rev.
McGauley’s message to the adults
was Encounters with Strange Texts.
In the scripture Matthew told of how
Jesus was angry with the people
who didn't understand Him. Jesus
said a prayer to God. thanking Him
for giving Him the children to
understand. Children have to depend
on older people to nature them but
they have trust, and understanding.
God reveals the truth to those who
arc like children to be simple and
understanding. Over the centuries
the church has gained status and
understanding. God has promised to
take care of us as a Church.
Emily Phillips invited everyone to
coffee time and at the back of the
church to meet Rev. McGauley.

Citizen staff
Using the experience gained in the
military. Norm Rumpel and his wife
Sue, have opened up Huron
Generator.
The office is located in the
Radford building along the main
street of Blyth. The business began
operation on June 27.
Norm has 35 years experience of
working on generators, including 21
years in the military. He has spent
the last year in Afghanistan.
“I finished my tour in Afghanistan,
so it was time to open up a
business,” he said.
Sue added that it was time to settle
down in one place.
During his years in the military,
Norm has been in various postings
both across Canada and throughout
the world.
He has been trained to work with
and on generators during his time in
the military. Even when he was in
Afghanistan, he was working with
both gas and electric-powered
generators. In the military he learned
how to operate a power plant as well
as how to be an engineer.
“I’ve done everything from
maintenance to overhauling,” said
Norm.
Even though his main area of
expertise in the military was power
generation, he also has experience
on air compressors for both diesel
and gas engines as well as hydraulic
rams.

"There is a demand lor
generators," said Norm, noting they
will be selling the Guardian model.
With power failures becoming an
increasing possibility it is important
for area producers, whether they're
in the dairy or chicken business, they
require a continuous supply of
power.
He said most dairy operations
have too many cows to milk by
