The Citizen, 2003-06-11, Page 3THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2003. PAGE 3. FROM BLYTH Training centre a step closer The new fire training centre of the Blyth and District Fire Department is one step closer to reality after a zoning amendment was approved by county council at its June 5 meeting. The six-acre site, being leased by North Huron from Sparling’s Propane Company Ltd., required a change in the Central Huron zoning bylaw to allow development of the location with a 33-foot training tower and eventually, a new fire hall for the Blyth department. from Marilyn’s Desk By Marilyn Craig Call 523-9318 Congratulations to David and Annie Sparling on the birth of their second son. Congratulations to the congregation of Trinity Anglican Church as they celebrate the 125th anniversary of the church on June 15. There will be special guests including the bishop at the 10:30 a.m. service. Please note the change of time. Many relatives, friends and neighbours gathered at the home of Roger and Donna Bieman to help Roger celebrate his 60th birthday and also to help Susan, their daughter celebrate her graduation as a teacher. Glad to hear that Lynn Logue is home from hospital and feeling some better. Sorry to hear that Alvin Snell was a patient in Clinton hospital and we wish him a speedy recovery. Greeting at Blyth United Church Sunday, June 8 were Lois van Vliet and Lorna Fraser. Ushering was Elaine Brown. Guest musician was Lynda Lentz-McGregor. The choir sang As a Fire is Meant for Burning. The children’s hymn was Jesus Bids Us Shine. The dramatized lectionary reading was from Genesis 1, The Seven Days of Creation. Those taking part were Amelia Carter-Brown and Brandilyn, Amanda and Wyatt Bearss. The responsive reading was Psalm 8. Rev. Eugen Bannerman’s message to the adults was The Quiet Spirituality of Jane Goodall. She’s leading a environmentalist, a devout Christian who was raised in the Congregation church of England and who feels strongly that God has given her a message for our time. For 30 years Dr. Goodall studied the chimpanzees of Africa, naming them all human names such as a David, Goliath, Flo and so on. She found they had human emotions. People have 98.5 per cent of their genes in common with chimps. Also a chimp blood transfusion can save a human life. She travels 300 days a year speaking to groups, one of those being at Ryerson University in Toronto. In her biography Reason for Hope she tells of her belief in God. There were times when her belief wavered. Dr. Goodall overcame her dark periods of doubt and remains optimistic about the future. As she read the Bible she wrote favourite verses on small pieces of paper and kept them in a box which she still has. Dr. Goodall believes she has a message to give to young people through lectures. Sunday was Environment Sunday and each person can make a difference, said Rev. Bannerman. uo QUESTIONS? 100% Organic Programs! WA! 524-2424 -Trust the Professionals - The R.C.L.
