The Citizen, 2013-08-01, Page 17THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 2013. PAGE 17. Volunteers needed for ambitious 14/19 projectContinued from page 16brought in to work on their newestprojects for six to eight weeks and inturn will teach people interested in
learning their craft. Those people
will then pass those lessons on to
others and, through that teaching,
the school will be supported.
“The people that learn from the
artisans will turn around and teach
people from five to 95 from around
the county,” Smith said, likening the
forum in which the artists would
speak to Technology, Entertainment,
Design presentations (TEDTalks)that have recently become popularon the internet but have been aroundfor nearly 30 years.
Smith believes the people who are
getting involved now are people who
would be interested in participating
in both a student and a teacher
capacity when the school is realized
and stated that is why the idea has
already found so much traction.
He also stated that the volunteers
are great and that everyone who has
heard about the program wanted to
become involved. Some of thatbecame more apparent to himshortly after the announcement onSunday.
“[Sunday] a chartered accountant
walked up and said, ‘I’m a chartered
accountant and I want to volunteer
for this project,’ I said we don’t have
a chartered accountant, we have
business people, members of the
Legion, the Lions, but we don’t have
a chartered accountant and we need
one,” he said. “She just walked up
and put her name down and that’s
very cool to me. That’s the kind ofgroundswell that’s going to build usup above and beyond.”Regardless of how big the project
gets, how many people get involved
and how successful it is, Smith said
it all comes back to Blyth and what
the people of Blyth are capable.
“The arena was such a project,”
Smith said. “There was a time when
the gang got together and said, this is
what we can do, we can put on our
sweatshirts and jeans and work boots
and we can help you,” he said. “We
can pull out screws, we can takedown walls, we can do whatever youneed. A crew was assembled,mountains were moved... [and] it
sounded like an amazing project.
This is a similar one.”
