would find at a gas station.
The variety store will carry a lot of
camping items and basic staples for
both the residents of Auburn and for
cottagers and campers.
“It will be a place for campers to
buy their milk, eggs, bread and
butter,” she said. “The kind of
stuff that runs out or that you forget
to bring with you from
home.”
The purchase just “kind of
happened” according to Karen.
“[Current owner] Ron [Ritchie]
wanted to sell,” she said. “We
thought we could manage it.”
Renovations on the newly-
acquired store are set to begin right
away.
The renovations won’t cause
many, if any closures as the
Warwicks hope to keep the location
open as much as possible.
“We might have to close a day
here or there for some major work or
if we need to move things, but we
hope to limit that,” she said. “The
hours will stay the same and we’ll
be closed at 3 p.m., except for
Friday and Saturday, until we get
caught up on the work, then we’ll be
extending the hours.”
Karen explained that they would
be keeping the current hours to
allow downtime during which work
can be done.

Auburn Grill on Blyth Road or call

someone in a rural area would pay
the same to put out the same amount
of waste per year as someone in a
village.
Mayor Paul Gowing pointed out
the new fee isn’t much different than
someone paying a $2 bag tag fee
each week.
Nancy Michie, administrator
clerk-treasurer, pointed out that the
amount of materials being recycled
had increased to 168 tonnes in 2011
from 93.66 before curbside
collection begun in 2008. “You
might see another drastic increase
once we move to automated
collection,” she said.
In the end, Councillors Baker and
Heffer were unconvinced
by arguments in favour of the
program but it was adopted by a
count of 5-2.

Me to We event set for Blyth
For the fourth consecutive year a
Mini Me to We event will be held in
Blyth featuring the abilities of local
young people to tackle social
problems the world over.
Talented youth will take to the
stage on April 5 at Blyth Memorial
Hall through several different
media to try and raise awareness and
money for various local and
global charities as part of the
event.
“The main purpose is to highlight
the talent and passion to help that
local youth have,” organizer Kathy
Douglas said. “It’s a night of good
entertainment that will highlight
what kids are doing to help
throughout the world.”
The event is based on the annual
Me to We events held in Toronto and
designed to get children involved in
bettering their community and
helping others Douglas said.
The event will be emceed by
David Archibald, a
singer/songwriter who has been a
creative force at the Blyth Festival
Theatre as well as working with
local schools on several occasions.
The talent for the event includes
Six Steps to Salvation; a band
featuring Jacoby Dicky, Rachel
Hearn and Mary Ross showcasing
their singing and harpist abilities
(respectively), Kirby Cook, Natalie
Irwin and Sarah Harris.
“[Six Steps to Salvation] will be
playing to both open and close the
show,” Douglas said. “Other acts
will include dancers, artists making
pictures on the stage and
representative from the Go Project
and Free the Children charity
who will tell people about their
work.”
Douglas said that part of what
makes the event a success is the
abundance of local talent.
“Rural communities are a great
thing for events like this,” she said.
“We never run out of acts.”
The lower hall in Blyth Memorial
Hall will feature booths for
fundraising put on by local groups
and schools to raise money and
awareness.
“The F.E. Madill Green Team will
be selling swag to raise money and
the United Churches from Walton
and Bluevale will be raising money
by selling baked goods to build a
church in Sierra Leone.”
The churches are pastored by Rev.
Dr. Peter Kugba-Nyanbe who is a
Sierra Leone-native .
The last thing needed for the event
to be a success is the community
according to Douglas.
“What we need is for people to
come and bring their family to the
event,” Douglas said. “The show is
for people from 10 to any age of
adult and is fast running and
entertaining.”
Tickets are $7 and available from
the Blyth Festival Box office.
Proceeds from the show will go
towards different charities from
across the globe and throughout the
community.

EW student places third in national Legion contestColton Beaven has a reason to besmiling after his poster won third
place at the Royal Canadian
Legion’s national-level
Remembrance Day contest earlier
this month.
Beaven, a Grade 3 student from
East Wawanosh Public School,
made a black and white poster for
the contest earlier this school year
and was recently told that his black-
and-white poster received the
national nod.
“It’s great,” he said.The poster, which features a crossand poppies over the remains of NileJones, a fictional soldier, was justsomething that represented the day
to Beaven.
“When I think of Remembrance
Day, I think of crosses and poppies,”
he said. “So I put a necklace around
the cross and wrote ‘We Will
Remember’ on the poster.”
The phrase “We Will Remember”
is shown twice throughout the piece
and it mentions the duration of
World War II: 1939-1945.
The piece emphasizes
remembrance which Beaven says is an important part of life inCanada.“We should remember the peoplein war and the people that died,” he
said. “They let us live how we live
now.”
Kim Walker, Beaven’s teacher,
helped her class prepare for the
project by showing some typical
words used in the project and
showing the children how to spell
them according to Beaven.
He said he plans on participating
next year with the hopes of
repeating his success.
