THE EDITOR,
I feel I must write to you about
your editorial “Still Plenty of Real
Causes,” which appeared in the
October 29th issue of “The
Citizen.”
While I must hasten to agree
with your comments about ques
tionable behaviour of a “lunatic
fringe” associated with animal
Blyth's ON IP program ending
THE EDITOR,
Within the last three years Blyth
has been involved in the ONIP
program. This program has helped
develop the social and recreational
areas of our community, but it has
also been used to update our
services and utilities. The Mini
stry of Municipal Affairs has given
the Village a grant of $100,000 in
the last three years to improve our
neighbourhood. This money was
on a 50/50 basis. We had to match
dollar for dollar the total expendi
tures for any project.
Some of the recreational or social
areas which have changed
within the last 3 years on this
project are:
Memorial Hall: With the help of
ONIP many repairs have been done
at the Memorial Hall. When the
ceiling started falling down on our
heads, a new ceiling was put up.
Also, included was new wiring,
fixtures, and insulation. This all
has to be painted and the total
project was put on this Program.
The entrance needed revamp
ing, brickwork was repaired, paint
ing was done and the window sills
fixed. Last but not least was the
parking area behind the stores, off
to Dinsley Street. This area had to
be cleared and gravelled.
Ball Park: Many changes have
occurred over the last three years
atthe Ball Diamonds, many but not
all of them on the ONIP program.
Ministry of Municipal Affairs,
ONIP, helped sod the main
diamond, put up some lighting,
and get stone dust around the
diamond area.
Community Centre: The big ex-
penseatthe Community Centre
was the installation of the heat
pumps, dehumidification units
and air conditioning units. Also
this grant helped pay for the new
roadway on the north side of the
arena and water and brine tanks.
Lions Park: If you have gone by the
Lions Park recently, you will notice
that not only do we now have a new
picnic shelter but a parking area
and roadway were included. A new
service to the community and

rights, I must disagree with your
claim that those concerned with
animal rights are linked to a cause
that has no “real meaning” and is a
“small issue.” Nor canlagree with
your contention that these groups
are mounting “idiotic crusades.”
Your heading “Still Plenty Of
Real Causes” implies that many
people concerned with the protec
tourists travelling through our
area, isa dumping station, with
lots of signs showing the location.
Not only has this program
touched on the social and recrea
tional, but also on services and
utilities. During this time period
many roads have been repaired,
reconstructed or paved. Mill,
Dinsley, Drummond, Wellington,
McConnell, Morris Streets and
Gypsy Lane have all been in some
way included in this program.
This year we, the Village, have
put a new water rhain in, on Mill
Street from the Railway Tracks to
the Blyth Fire Hall. ONIP helped
considerably with the cost of this
project.
When Blyth first applied for
money on this program, there was
a public meeting to decide which
areas of the village should be
included. The Village had Art
Clarke, from Maitland Engineer
ing, and former Clerk-Treasurer
Larry Walsh, put together an
estimate of costs involved and the
Ministry of the Municipal Affairs,
approved.
The projects have mostly been
completedor will be, before the
end of this year. Because of
unexpected expenses for repairs
on some of our buildings, some
minor changes have taken place.
One such change was at the
Community Centre. On the pro
posed program the beams in the ice
area were to be painted.
This year when checking the
equipment it was discovered that

tion of animals are following a
cause that is not worthwhile. The
recent T.V. series “Planet for the
Taking” has surely shown us that
the protection of animals is no
small issue but is a crusade with
real meaning.

the water and brine tanks should be
replaced before the winter season.
This became a priority item.
These changes are not a major
concern but to keep the public
aware of what is going on within the
program, they should be mention
ed.
All of our projects have to be
completed by December 31, 1986
and paper work sent to the Ministry
of Municipal Affairs before March
31,1987. ONIP has been a great
success and the Village thanks the
Ministry for its help to administer
this program.
