BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Oct. 14 were Randy
Fraser and Enid MacDonald.
Ushering was Hope Button.
Guest organist was Elizabeth
Stennett.
Guest minister Rev. Gwen Nichol-
MacDonald welcomed everyone to
church on this Communion Sunday
with the Call to Worship which was
repeated responsively.
The first hymn was Now Thank
We All Our God.
A minute for mission was read
after the hymn.
For the children, the message was
about two boys who had both
broken their legs. One of
them whined and the other was
cheerful.
The children went downstairs for
their time of worship and
fellowship during the singing of
the hymn For the Beauty of the
Earth.
The scripture verses were from
Jeremiah 29: 1, 4-7 and the gospel
reading was from Luke 17: 11-19.
The hymn We Praise You O God,
was sung.
Rev. Nichol-MacDonald’s
message to the adults was about
confidence. It is a gift to disagree
and still pull together.
Nichol-MacDonald grew up in a
small church and said the
congregants should celebrate who
they are and be proud of it. She said
that people want to be in a
place where there is joy and
friendship.
Those serving communion were
Joan Clark, Ollie Craig, Fred Meier
and Randy Fraser.
The last hymn was Sent Forth By
God’s Blessing.

The question of what to do about
ATVs was back again for North
Huron council at the Monday night
meeting.
Clerk-administrator Kriss Snell
told councillors that he had been
contacted by Brad Foxton on
whether council had come to any
decision. Foxton had appeared at an
earlier meeting to request council
consider permitting ATV use in
some areas.
Councillor Greg McClinchey said
that one of his concerns is that while
the current position is that ATVs are
not allowed on township roads or
property, it doesn’t mean it’s
working. “They are on the roads.
And I was walking on the Greenway
Trail this past weekend and was
passed by 17 of them. Simply saying
no doesn’t work.”
The legal exemptions for farmers
and trappers only makes the issue
more confusing, he said. Also, the
system is complicated by the fact
that each municipality has a different
view, with some permitting ATV use
and others not.
Councillor James Campbell said
that he had spoken with OPP officers
and believed that they were going to
be pushing for action.
“But how does one move that
along,” said McClinchey. “Right
now we have a patchwork. You can’t
ride here, but you can in the
municipality across the road.”
While the consensus was that this
is a provincial issue, Snell wondered
if perhaps the county might be
persuaded to “take a shot at
spearheading” action.
Noting that the patchwork system
makes it impossible to police ATVs,
McClinchey said, “If I were the OPP,
I’d be demanding a uniform system.
In fairness to police, how can they
possibly chase offenders when the
rules can change by crossing a road.”
Reeve Neil Vincent and deputy-
reeve Murray Scott agreed to take
the issue to the county for
discussion.
