Legion Monday, Feb. 10 at 7:30 p.m.
We are sorry to hear that Reg
Hesselwood is a patient in Clinton
Public Hospital. We hope he will
soon be home.
Dorothy Scott is a patient in the
Wingham hospital. We wish her a
speedy recovery.
The Legion Auxiliary had 17 tables
on Feb. 3 and raised over $400 for
the Clinton hospital. Door prizes
went to Delores Howatt, June
Pattison, Mary East and Peg
Menzies. Everyone enjoyed a lunch
after playing cards.
Congratulations to Todd and
Annette (Vincent) Edgar of Wingham
on the birth of their son, Feb. 4.
Dan and Shelley, Vannesa and
Dane Nichels, of Port Albert, Terry
and Deb Pierce and Bernice Pierce of
Blyth went to Ottawa to visit with
Jennifer Pierce.
They toured the Parliament
building and skated on the canal. It
was a wonderful weekend.
The ice sculptures were really nice.
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Feb. 10 were Lorna
Fraser and Judy Gleave. Ushering
was Chris Gleave. Lynda Lentz-
MacGregor was guest musician.
The children gathered at the front
of the church. Rev. Eugen
Bannerman told them of a poem,
Good Morning To You. He then
taught them to sing the song to the
tune of Happy Birthday. They then
sang Happy Birthday to Hanna
Ortman.
The dramatized Lectionary
Reading Isaiah 40: 21-31 was read by
Brandilyn and Wyatt Bearss and
Jonathan Hakkers.
Responsive reading was the 147th
Psalm (Part 1). Gospel reading was
Mark 1: 29-39.
Rev. Bannerman’s message to the
adults was “The Purpose of Jesus”.
Jesus taught about praying. There are
17 references in the Gospels. He
prayed at night, in the morning,
before meals, before miracles of
healing, before teaching his disciples
and before making important
decisions.
This might give some idea how
Jesus handled stress.
From the beginning of His life to
the very end Jesus prayed. There are
many ways to sort out life’s
meanings but it is always a quiet
place that one feels close to God,
Rev. Bannerman said.
Everyone was invited downstairs
for lunch which was followed by the
annual meeting. There were 48
members present.
There was a minute’s silence for
members who had passed away
during the last year.

Senior girls team tourney ehamps

Congratulations to Blyth Bear
Girls!
On Thursday, Jan. 30 Blyth Public
School senior girls’ volleyball team
came home as the 2002-2003
Central Huron Volleyball Girls’
Champions from this year’s
tournament at Central Huron
Secondary School in Clinton.
Participating teams were Huron
Centennial. Seaforth, Clinton,
Hullett, and Blyth.
Blyth’s first match was against
Seaforth.
They won their first two games,
15-1 and 15-3.
With boosted confidence, the
Blyth girls’ second match was
against Huron Centennial where
they were again on top, scoring 15-4
and 15-8.
The third match was against
Hullett, where the girls’ took a blow,
losing the first game. They got ready
for the second game and won it 15-
11.
Tensions hit a high before the third
and final game against Hullett. Time
was running out and the final score
would only go to 10 instead of 15.
Losing was not an option for the
girls and the Blyth Bears pulled
together as a winning team, ending
the match 10-6 Blyth.
With three wins behind them,
Blyth girls ended their day against
Clinton, the girls scoring 15-7 and
15-9.
The girls were training since
November for the tournament and
are very proud of their effort and
team spirit. Coaches were Sydney
Elder and Laurie Sparling.
