Blyth Festival’s rehearsals got
underway for Against the Grain last
week as the cast and crew arrived in
the village. Against the Grain, an
epic family drama, by Carolyn Hay
opens the 2008 season on June 20.
In this epic story, Henry Jamieson
has a dream. Where some people see
barren land, Henry only see
opportunity.
After a lifetime of hard work,
Henry Jamieson has built himself an
empire of Manitoba grain. But who
will take the reins of the family
business if his son David doesn’t
wake up and seize the opportunity?
Seen through the eyes of his young
granddaughter Marlene, the story of
Henry’s life is distilled into one
fateful and unforgettable moment.
This sweeping family drama
provides lots of laughs to balance the
epic struggle between father and son.
Inspired by true events, Against
the Grain follows one man’s rise to
power as he sacrifices everything for
the sake of the almighty dollar. The
playwright shared how she, like
Marlene who is a feisty woman more
akin to Hay’s mother, is trying to fill
in the missing pieces of family
history as stories so often die with
the people who lived them. David,
the central character, who fights to
live his life truthfully holds a special
place in her heart.
Artistic director, Eric Coates, met
Hay in Blyth in 1996 when they
worked closely together on
Barndance Live! a collective
inspired by the CKNX Barn Dance.
When approached about this project,
etc., Coates was delighted to get
involved. Coates, also the director of
the project, feels that the audience
will be surprised by this powerful
piece of Canadian drama.
Against the Grain is sponsored by
Ideal Supply Company LImited and
CJCS 1240 Radio, Stratford. The
2008 Season Sponsor is Sparling’s
Propane Co. Ltd. and the 2008
Season Media Sponsor is CTV.
Rehearsals for Harvest started on
Monday with a meet and greet.
Larry Yachimec (previously seen
at the Blyth Festival in That Summer
and When the Reaper Calls in the
1999 season) will be joined on stage
by newcomer Marion Day.
The play begins when Allan and
Charlotte, having retired from
farming, rent their old farmhouse to
a nice young man who seems too
good to be true. Sure enough, Ron’s
behaviour soon starts to make them
uneasy – he pays his rent in cash, he
has no furniture, and his roommate is
a very businesslike rottweiler.
Both hilarious and sobering,
Harvest is the true story of a couple
that nearly lost their life savings
when a nice young man turned their
Elgin family farm upside down.
Harvest previews on June 24 and
opens on June 27. Tickets are
available at the box office,

Days of Discovery for kids
at Huron County MuseumA sign welcoming people to the
north entrance of Wingham will be
located in Morris-Turnberry, despite
objections of some councillors.
Councillors were reacting to a
letter from Pat Newson, Twp. of
North Huron’s director of recreation
and facilities, asking permission for
erection of the sign just north of
Rintoul’s Pools and Spas on County
Rd. 4.
“They’ll have to do it without my
support,” grumbled councillor Bill
Thompson who felt the location of
the sign, well within Morris-
Turnberry, marked territory North
Huron would like to take over
anyway.
But councillor Lynn Hoy pointed
out the money for the sign is being
donated by the Wingham
Horticultural Society and has
nothing to do with North Huron. The
sign is being proposed for a location
outside the Wingham boundary
because highway regulations
wouldn’t permit it on available land
within North Huron, he said.
In a recorded vote Thompson was
joined by councillor Edna McLellan
in opposing permission for the sign
to be erected in Morris-Turnberry
while mayor Dorothy Kelly, deputy-
mayor Jim Nelemans and
councillors Lynn Hoy and Paul
Gowing supported the motion.
Councillor Mark Beaven was absent
at this portion of the meeting.
