Blyth Bullets take silver at provincial tournament The Blyth Midget Girls Bullets broomball team captured a provincial silver medal over the weekend after a hard-fought, long tournament in Barrie. The squad initially posted a 1-0 win over tournament champions Kilsyth in overtime, but, due to a double knockout rule, had to face off against them a second time, losing the championship game 1-0, again in overtime. “We beat Kilsyth once, but because it’s a true double knockout, we had to beat them twice to get the gold,” team coach Ken Logtenberg said. “We couldn’t do it. I guess we just ran out of gas.” Logtenberg said that was the theme for the tournament as Blyth had to go to overtime four times to find a winner. To get to the championships, the squad posted 1-0 wins over Mildmay and their sister Blyth squad, the Blyth Ice. The team was downed by the Stealth team, based in Ottawa, 2- 0. Logtenberg said the squad has had a successful season, earning medals in tournaments in Blyth and Windsor, and competing in a tournament in Mildmay last month. He attributed his players’ victories to good, fundamental play. “Part of the reason we’re successful is strong defence,” he said. “We don’t give up many goals. We also have a strong passing game and play well as a team.” NEWS FROM BLYTH Broken Washer?

(Photo submitted) Holy Rollers making pies again Greeting and ushering worshippers at Blyth United Church on Sunday, Feb. 10 were Hope Button and Marilyn Craig. Marilyn Scott was organist and Katie Dockstader, choir director. John Stewart ran the Power Point. Sandra Cable welcomed everyone to church and reminded everyone of the announcements printed in the bulletin. Special mention that the Holy Rollers are making pies again this winter. February orders are full. Volunteers are making turkey pies on March 6 and beef pies on March 20. Get your orders in to Donna Moore at 519-523-9855. Sandra lit the Christ candle and the other candles on the altar table. She invited everyone to greet one another. The first hymn was “Worship the Lord.” The call to worship was said responsively followed by the opening prayer repeated in unison. The children’s story was about Jesus telling Simon Peter and the others to go back to their boats and put the nets over the other side of the boat and they will catch fish. Jesus tells the fishermen that they will be fishers of men. The children’s hymn “Jesus You Have Come to the Lakeshore”, was sung. The scripture lesson was Luke 5:1-11. The response, “Holy, Holy, Holy” was sung. The choir sang the anthem, “Jesus is Lord of All”. Sandra’s message to the congregation was, “Will you accept the invitations to go into deep, deep waters?” When we go on a cruise we are looking to see creatures that often live deep in the water. It is fascinating to think of all the things that live in the deep waters. In the scriptures, the people got so close to Jesus that He asked the fishermen to bring their boats to Him. He asks them to go just a little off the shore so He can talk to all the people. Jesus tells Simon Peter to take his boat out into the waters and put their nets down on the other side and they will fill with fish. Simon Peter trusted Jesus and he took his boat out and fished from the side that Jesus had told him. His nets filled with fish and he had to call other boats to come and help. The United Church is changing in structure. The church has to be willing to change in this day and age. Life in the church is like letting our nets down and see where we go from here. Mistakes will be made but we have the faith that it will turn out alright. The next hymn, “Will You Come and Follow Me”, was sung. The offering was received followed by the offertory response, “What Can I Do?” and the offertory prayer. “Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying” was sung leading into the prayers for the people, silent prayers and the singing to the Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn, “I’m Gonna Live so God Can Use Me” was sung followed by the commissioning and the benediction and the singing of the response, “Thank You Lord, on This Day”. Everyone was invited for coffee and fellowship.

Correction Palmer calls for slower plows North Huron Councillor Chris Palmer wants plow drivers to slow down in East Wawanosh. “Our trucks [and] our snow plows are going too fast,” he said at North Huron Council’s Feb. 4 meeting. “They’re doing a great job everywhere. They’re doing a good job cleaning the snow, but in some places, they go too fast. Palmer requested that senior staff suggest the operators slow down. *** During North Huron Council’s Feb. 4 meeting, Councillor Chris Palmer explained that a trucking company, located at the top of a hill in East Wawanosh, needed some support from council and staff to alleviate a potential driving hazard. He said the company is located at the top of a hill, and the entry and exit at the property can be blind corners due to the topography of the road. Palmer suggested signs advertising the fact that trucks are present at the location. Staff were directed to investigate the situation. *** North Huron Reeve Bernie Bailey is going forward with plans to have staff review agreements with neighbouring municipalities. Bailey gave notice that, during council’s Feb. 19 meeting, he would be bringing forward a motion to have staff review contracts with neighbours. In previous meetings, he has explained the move will help North Huron when it comes time to negotiate agreements with neighbours. The issue most recently came up during budget discussions when council was debating Central Huron’s decision to pull financial support from initiatives like the Blyth and District Community Centre, despite the fact that Central Huron ratepayers use the site.
