A harrowing experience for a little dog ended when Blyth
firefighters arrived to rescue it from a second-storey ledge
downtown recently. The dog had somehow managed to find
its way out of an apartment window. (Keith Roulston photo)
Speaker urges Blyth
On July 27, 19 people attended the
Blyth Swinging Seniors annual
indoor picnic at Trinity Anglican
Church Hall.
Words of appreciation were
spoken for work done for the club
over the years by Aubrey Toll, who
recently passed away. A moment’s
silence was observed in his honour.
July birthdays of Bernice
McClinchey and Janis Vodden and
the 49th wedding anniversary of
Brock and Janis Vodden were noted.
A thank you letter from Blyth
Public School for a graduation prize
and a letter from the recipient,
Jessica Sparling were read.
It was decided to hold an
Alzheimer Society’s Coffee Break in
conjunction with the September
meeting.
Sympathy cards were sent to Jean
Potter, Bill and Isabelle Craig and
Marie Toll.
Members were reminded about the
fall rally to be held in Belgrave, Oct.
20, and the spring rally to be held in

Carol Gross and family and to Jack

BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Aug. 7 were Fred Meiers
and Joann MacDonald. Margaret
Kai was guest organist. Lorna Fraser
welcomed everyone to church.
The responsive reading Psalm 105
was followed by the scripture
reading Genesis 37: l-4,
Lorna’s message to the adults was
favouritism. We all have favourite
things, she said.
Lorna told the story of Joseph
being Jacob’s favourite son and how
his brothers .were very jealous and
took his coat of many colours and
threw him down a well They
decided to sell him for pieces of
silver. Jacob ended up in prison and
interrupted and interpreted dreams
of his fellow prisoners and also of
the Pharaoh. When the Pharaoh’s
dreams came true, he put Joseph in
charge of the palace. Joseph learned
to trust in God.

leaders to make
good first impression
A marketing specialist urged a
July 23 meeting sponsored by Blyth
Business Association to make Blyth
“The village that could’’.
Cynthia Moyer of Phoenix
Marketing, a Huron County full
service marketing company, told
about two dozen people at the Blyth
Inn that the village could make its
mark with asset-based community
development that looks at what the
village has to offer including the
talents, skills and capabilities of
local residents.
She urged establishment of a
planning structure including
formation of an advisory
council.
Next step, she said, should be
strategic planning by looking at what
people want the village to be like 25
years from now then setting in place
the steps to get the village to that
point and deciding who needs to be
involved to make it happen.
She suggested community leaders
start with baby steps that are “do
able”, then work toward bigger
challenges.
To be successful the village needs
to stand out and make its mark, she
said. Saying marketing is 80 per cent
about first impressions, she showed
a series of slides from around the
village showing things that did not
leave a good first impression such as
store fronts in need of repair or
sprucing up and poor signage.
“People coming to your
community are making quick
judgements,” she said.
She urged a unified look for the
village’s main street based on the
“Blyth, Historic Village” theme of
the entrance signs.
“You need to work together to
make it happen,” she said.
Con and Lois van Vliet have
returned home after an enjoyable trip
to Sioux Lookout visiting with their
son Kent and Cheryl. While there
they attended the Blueberry Festival
and went boating on Lake
Minninacki.
