A North Huron councillor has
taken it upon himself to see that the
service club signs at the edge of
Blyth are replaced.
Councillor Greg McClinchey told
council at the Monday night
meeting, that he had been
fundraising to offset the costs and
already had collected enough for
two of the four signs.
“I joined council a year ago and
we have talked about replacing these
signs in some form since then. I’mgoing to get them replaced,” saidMcClinchey.
He asked council for permission
to have the old signs removed, to
make use of the municipality’s
charitable donation number and
that municipal staff install the new
ones.
McClinchey said he hopes to raise
$4,000 to cover the cost of four signs
and will bring a schematic drawing
for council to look at before the
signs are ordered.
Council approved the requests.
The village was saddened yet
again to hear that Harold Campbell,
a long-time resident of the village
had passed away on Sunday
morning. Our sympathy goes out to
Adeline and her families and
extended families. Harold will be
greatly missed.
On a happier note, happy birthday
to Bernice Pierce who celebrates her
birthday Oct. 1. Bernice celebrated
with a surprise party at the Legion
on Saturday afternoon arranged by
her family.
Happy anniversary to Kim (Craig)
and Mark Hornyak of Strathroy who
celebrate on Oct. 10.
Euchre is back for the fall and
winter on Monday nights at the
Legion Hall at 7:30 p.m. starting
Oct. 15. Come out and enjoy the fun
and fellowship.
BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Sept. 30 were Myrtle
Badley and Mary Lou Stewart.
Ushering were David Onn and Hope
Button. Guest organist was
Elizabeth Stennett.
Guest speaker Tom Dunbar
welcomed everyone to church with
the Call to Worship. The first hymn
Love Divine, All Loves Excelling,
was followed by the Prayer of
Confession, the Assurance of
Pardon.
The choir sang an anthem Make
Me a Channel of Your Peace. The
peace candles were lit at the front of
the church.
The scripture from John 4: 1-21
and Psalm 121 was led by Ollie
Craig. The hymn My Faith Looks
Up to Thee was sung.
Mr. Dunbar’s message to the
adults was Forever Friends and
Neighbours. Mr. Dunbar reviewed
some of his speeches for the last five
months. He is leaving the church and
going on to Victoria St./Benmiller
charge as part of his training to be a
minister. He said he always felt
welcome at Blyth United and will
always consider Blyth his home
church.
Mr. Dunbar thanked at David Onn,
Emily Phillips and Steven Sparling
for sitting on his discernment
committee.
Everyone was invited to join Tom
and his family for cookies and coffee
after the service.
Ontario Provincial Police officers
checked 832,058 vehicles during the
annual province-wide fall seatbelt
initiative that wrapped up at
midnight.
Over the nine days, there were
three fatalities where seatbelt non-
compliance was a factor.
To date in 2007, 97 of the 351
people killed in collisions on roads
the OPP patrols were not wearing
seatbelts, a 32.9 per cent increase
over the same period last year when
73 of the 337 people who died
weren’t buckled up. The fine for not
wearing a seatbelt is $110 and two
demerit points for drivers.
This long weekend the OPP will
be out in full force targeting
aggressive drivers, those who aren’t
wearing their seatbelts and those
who drink and drive. They will be
using aerial surveillance as well and
with the new regulations now in
effect, will be impounding vehicles
where the driver is doing more than
50 kilometres over the posted speed
limit, is driving dangerously or
street racing.
