Village of Blyth Council the Ontario Provincial Police had been called in but later the shanty had been demolished and some of the lumber was found floating in the river. Also missing are two garbage cans and three street signs that have been removed from posts around town. Removal of the signs could cause a serious accident, Mr. Groups share Blyth Village Council Oct. 10 approved an agreement between the Blyth Centre for the Arts and Blyth Masonic Lodge for renova­ tion and cost sharing of the upper floor of the village municipal building. The agreement, which will see the two groups share the space and the costs of renovating it will cost the village nothing. The village did apply for and receive a grant from the Ministry of Energy to help with the renovations. The village negotiated a 20-year lease with the Centre for the Arts in 1988 as part of the guarantees required by the Festival before its grant application for capital fund­ ing for its $2 million expansion program could be accepted by the provincial and federal govern­ ments. It was then necessary for the Masonic Lodge to reach a formal agreement with the Festival on joint use of the building. The agreement had originally been reached between the two groups in May.

Besides the grant of nearly $7,000, the Festival will provide $5,000 in materials and the Masons will supply $3,000 in labour. The project will include a meeting room and kitchen in the east end of the space and office space for the Festival at the west. Our goof! Oh what a little word can do! Last week in the Blyth council briefs the word “complaint” was substituted for the word “compli­ ment” somewhere along the line in production, completely changing the meaning of the news item. The item should have said that Blyth Village Council had received many compliments on the new sidewalk recently built under the Pride grant. The Citizen regrets this error.
