We are sorry to hear that Evelyn
Popp is a patient in Clinton Public
Hospital. We hope she will soon be
home.
We are glad to hear that Mac
Brooks has returned home from
hospital.
Yesterday. Wiarton Willie didn't
see his shadow so we are hoping for
an early spring. Although we have
had snow for only the month of
January it seems more like two
months. 1 know the snowmobile
operators won’t agree that we have
had enough but 1 certainly hope
spring comes soon.
If you have news that you want in
next week's paper please let me
know Saturday or Sunday as I will
be attending the United Church
.Women’s annual meeting in
Belgrave on Monday, Feb. 10. All
United Church Women are welcome.
Registration is at 9 a.m. and lunch is
$5. You are asked to "Lug a Mug".
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Feb. 2 were Lorna Fraser
and Judy Gleave. Ushering was
Chris Gleave. Margaret Kai was
guest musician. The choir’s anthem
was Lead me Lord, accompanied by
Margaret Kai on the piano. The
children's hymn was Count Your
Blessings.
When the children gathered at the
front of the church Rev. Eugen
Bannerman asked the children if
they knew what day it was and
everyone said Groundhog Day. He
asked them why it was Groundhog
Day? If wiarton Willie didn’t see his
shadow, spring would soon be here,
was the answer.
The groundhog has an internal
clock that tells him when it’s the first
week of February and then he goes
back to his burrow for four to six
weeks until spring.
The Dramatized Lectionary
Reading Deuteronomy 5: 23-33 was
read by the Drama Club. Responsive
reading was the 11 Ith Psalm. Gospel
reading was Mark l: 21-28.
Rev. Bannerman’s message to the
adults was “Where Did Jesus Go To
School?" The Gospels don’t answer
this. They don’t say what his life was
like from 12 years of age to 30 years.
There are many different stories of
where Jesus went to school that have
been told. One was he stayed around
Nazareth and worked with his father,
Joseph. Another was he travelled to
England and studied there and
another story was he went to Egypt
and studied there.

Venturers get set to take wing
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
It has been a labour of love for
Mike Scott and his Blyth Venturers
as they have spent the past two and a
half years constructing an air
plane.
The group’s interest in planes first
surfaced four years ago, said Scott
when they became involved in
Young Eagles, a program meant to
introduce young people to flying.
After helping out with the program
at Goderich airport, the Venturers
expressed an interest in taking it a
little further, said Scott.
Soon, the troupe acquired plans for
a mini-max ultralight from assistant
leader Jack Seal.
They began gathering donations of
the special spruce wood required for
the aircraft. Precision was utilized as
the Venturers drew each section of
the plane onto the boards, then the
wood frame was covered with a
shrink fabric. Eventually, assembly
began.
Through the months of
construction of the craft, the club
members have been learning about
aviation and the theory of flight.
“Last summer we went to
Oshkosh, Wisconsin,” said Scott. “It
is the aviation mecca. completion and Scott is hopeful that
Now, the plane is nearing a test flight will occur this summer.

for village
says Chief
Continued from page 1
“This is a huge opportunity for the
Blyth department and all Huron
County departments,” he added.
It will also be an opportunity for
the village, said Josling as he
expects spin-off for such things as
gas bars and restaurants.
“This will help our little town,” he
added.
The training centre will be located
along Blyth Road, across from
Huron Tractor, on land donated by
Sparlings, also the future site for a
new fire hall. The company will also
contribute the fuel and plumbing for
the propane-fired burns.
The system is very clean burning,
said Josling, and artificial smoke is
used to simulate conditions.
He does not expect there to be any
concerns for neighbours as the
structure will be set back from the
road and there will be minimum
smoke.
It is hoped construction will begin
in the spring with completion
scheduled for the summer. The
rezoning process through Central
Huron council is expected to take
approximately two months.
The Blyth firefighters and anyone
else willing to donate their time and
skills will help to construct the
tower.
“The firemen will be painting and
welding. We will need help with
that as well as excavating, fill and
concrete work,” said Josling.
Anyone wishing to contribute
should contact a Blyth firefighter.
