A Luxury Holiday in Historic
Although Sunday, the day planned for the Wawanosh Nature
Reserve’s Fall Colour Tour, began too wet and slippery for West
Wawanosh’s Tony McQuail to bring In his big team of Belgians for free
rides around the park, a large number of hardy visitors did get out and
enjoyed walking tours, conducted by several members of the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority’s staff. Above, a tour conducted by

dell said, the province “will be able
to process the application.”
“But the whole thing has been
looking very good,” Festival Gen
eral Manager Joel Harris said
Monday. “I think all that needs to
be done now (in the provincial
request) is to dot the i’s and cross
the t’s. Both Mr. Riddell and Mr.
Cardiff have been tremendously
supportive throughout this cam
paign, and if all goes well, we'll
hope to break ground (for Phase 1
of the project) early in November. ’ ’
Echoing Mr. Harris’s com
ments, Sheila Richards of Brus
sels, past-president of the Festi
val’s board of directors, said that
the project could never have come
to reality without the direct
intervention of both the riding’s
federal and provincial representa
tives. “I think it really helps when
you are able to call your represen
tatives by their first names,” she
joked. “Both Murray and Jack
have always been good friends of
the Blyth theatre.”
Provincial funding will come
from the Ministry of Culture and
Communication’s Facilities Im
provement Program (FIP), which

for the nomination meeting will be
Arlene Ray, wife of Ontario New
Democratic Party leader Bob Rae.
No guest speaker has been
named yet for either the Liberal or
Conservative party meetings.
There is little suspence as to who
will be the candidate for the
Conservatives. The only surprise
would be if anyone did challenge
Murray Cardiff of Brussels for the
nomination.
One candidate had declared his
intentions to seek the Liberal
nominations as of Tuesday morn
ing with at least one more
rumoured to be seeking the post.
Ken Dunlop, Mayor of Port Elgin
said Tuesday morning he decided
to seek the nomination to fight
against the free trade agreement.
The owners of a small business
engaged in selling sports-related
can provide up to 50 per cent of the
Festival’s expansion project, while
federal funding will come from the
Department of Communications’
Cultural Initiatives Program,
which can commit up to one-third
of the project’s cost. Both pro
grams require that the balance of
funding come from local initiative.
Mr. Harris noted that the federal
government’s commitment of
$450,000 is “somewhere more
than a third’’ of the cost of the
initial phase of the expansion,
estimated at $1,289,885, but ad
mitted that the board “had hoped
for up to $600,000, ’ ’ one third of the
project’s total cost.
“All it means is that our own
fund-raising activities will have to
dig a little deeper,’’ Mr. Harris
said. “But in view of the truly
outstanding job our (fund-raising)
committee has done so far, I don’t
think that this will be much of a
problem.”
Inlessthanthreemonths, the
Festival’s fund-raising committee,
under capital campaign project
co-ordinator Lynda Lentz of Blyth,
has raised in excess of $236,000
from hundreds of individual and
corporate contributions. In addi

organizations which have not yet
responded to the Festival’s re-
questfor donations, adding that he
expects “quite a few’’ of these

commitment to the project before
coming in.
The first stage of the building
campaign will include major im
provements to the Festival’s pro
duction area workshops and re
hearsal space, known as the
Dinsley Street garage, and will
include the construction of new
carpentry, paint, properties and
costume space, as well as general
upgrading of the current facilities
located above the Blyth municipal
office and library and in the second
storey of the old bank building.
Jane Gardner, the Festival’s
director of communications, said
that the building schedule has had
to be altered from that outlined in

STAFF UPDATE
Welcome to Sheila Gulutzen R.N.A.
Mary Diegel ison a3 weekwork practicum for Health Record Technician at Groves Memorial
Hospital, Fergus, Ontario.
Doug Halfpenny, Chief Laboratory Technician and Helen Henderson R.N. participated in
the Ontario Hospital Advanced Management Skill Development Program entitled “Team
Building’’.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
Darlene Hetherington R.N. wants hospital staff to know what to do if we come upon a victim
whocannot breathe or who is suddenly in cardiac distress. To help us rehearse, she periodically
throws a rubber doll down and grades our skills. Although it is rather nerve racking, someday a
life may depend on us, and we will be glad of the chance to review our knowledge.
Capital Act’ ’ because of the timing
of the announcement of govern
mentfunding. In the original plan,
Locale (or Phase) 1 of the expan
sion was to include major changes
to the theatre and to Memorial
Hall, while Locales II and Illwere to
upgrade the other facilities.
“Obviously, we’ve had to
change our plans because we can’t
interruptMemorial Hall’s busy
winter schedule, while a lot of the
other work can be done before
freeze-up this year,” Mrs. Gard
ner said.
She added that the Festival’s
building committee, under chair
man Don McCaffrey of Exeter, will
be meeting immediately to plan the
tender criteria for Locale II and III,
which will likely be let separately.
“We hope to have the shell of the
new (garage) facility up before
freeze-up, with it all completed and
ready for use by next March,” said
Mr. Harris.
