Street construction discussed
Most of the ratepayers who will
be affected by the re-building of
several streets in Londesboro later
this summer met with Hullett
council on June 16 to discuss the
proposal. Township clerk-treasur
er Harry Lear said that it was a good
meeting which generated some
lively discussion, but added that
none of the delegation had any
serious objection to any of the work
planned,
Larry Lucio of Mount Brydges
also attended the June 16meeting,
to request consideration of a
zoning change on property at Lot
28, Concession 9. At present, the
property is zoned Natural Environ
ment 4, with double the normal
distance required between boun
daries and buildings. Mr. Lear said
that Mr. Lucio has requested some
slackening of the code, and will
meet with council at a later date to
further discuss the matter.
In other business, council moved
to accept the tender of Kling

Allan Thompson of “A Touch of Hands” the newest shop on Blyth’s
main street works on some of the leather crafts that are among the main
atractions of the shop. Mr. Thompson and his wife Suzanne have
operated a leather business for several years in Blyth but last week
opened a shop in the old Blyth Meat Market building [now owned by
Lyle Youngblut] to sell their homemade crafts.

robberies and police chases on the
tiny stage.
Neil Foster’s Eddie Boyd is a
family man, who looks totally
unlike a glamourous criminal,
more worried about getting the
kids teeth fixed or sodding the lawn
on his new house than big time
crime. Yet in the end he gets
caught up in the image created
about him in the newspapers and
becomes what he didn’t set out to
be, trying to live up to his own
reputation. David Marr is slinkily
sexy, both a victimizer of women
and victimized by them, particular -
ly Mary Mitchell. Peter Smith
plays Lenny Jackson like just
another overgrown kid out for a
lark and Greg Spottiswood as
Willie (The Clown) Jackson is a
showoff, with more style than
brains, who keeps getting caught.
Wayne Nicklas plays Sgt. Edmund
Tong, the Toronto detective who
pays with his life for the obsessive
ness of his drive to capture the
gang.
re-construction of Concession
12-13, and the removal of material
from lots on both Concessions 12
and 14. Council has also moved to
ask Burns, Ross and Associates of
Goderich to call tenders for the
repair of the bridge on Concession
6-7.
Weed inspector Joe Gibson was
instructed to spot-spray certain
roadsides in the township for
weeds.
Post-polio group meets
Thesecond spring meeting of
the Grey-Bruce-Huron Post-Polio
Chapter of the March of Dimes was
held at the Hanover Hospital Board
Room on May 30.
The first newsletter from the
Chapter was sent out to the 80
people on the March of Dimes
Post-Polio Registry living in the
Grey-Bruce-Huron area. The
Chapter expects that receiving the
newsletter will bring out more
There’s a nice change of pace in
the second act that gives some
deeper emotions to the play. The
first act is lively and glamorizes the
gang and the goodtimes. The
second act turns thoughtful and we
see the women struggling with the
problems their men give them. In
the end the men going off to jail or
the hangman, seem almost fortu
nate compared to the lonely lives
the women will lead trying to pick
up the pieces.
Raymond Storey ’ s script can still
use some tightening here and there
and anything he can do to further
develop the characters will make
the play even more successful.
John Roby’s music is, as usual, a
highlight of the production ranging
from hot jazz to slow ballads. The
music is superbly performed by a
five-piece band we never get to see
made up of John Roby himself,
Alex Dean, Brian O’Kane, Steve
Lucas and Mark Congrom.
The music does cause one of the
minor annoyances since so much of
the action is choreographed over
music while the actors describe
An Open House for Hullett
Township ratepayers is planned
for June 29 and 30, from 7 to 10
p.m. each evening. Hullett coun
cillors and Huron County planning
department staff will be on hand to
discuss any concerns citizens may
have regarding the new zoning
by-laws proposed for the township
under the official plan.
Hullett Council meets again on
July 7, at 7:30 p.m.
people to the meetings.
Geri Babcock, Community Ser
vices manager, March of Dimes
from Owen Sound, discussed
fund-raising techniques with the
group.
Ron Batte, Doctor of Chiroprac
tic, Walkerton, will speak at the
June 27 meeting. Dr. Batte will
discuss the role chiropractic may
have in helping post-polio people
continue to lead a productive,
comfortable life.
what happened, it sometimes
becomes confusing with the actors
seeming to have to shout to be
heard.
Janice Hladki has done a
wonderful job of choreography on
the small stage working with
people who’s forte is acting not
dancing. Harry Frehner did an
excellent job on one of the most
complicated lighting designs in the
Festival’s history. Kerry Hackett
created gorgeous costumes, parti
cularly for Ann Jackson and Mary
Mitchell.
Stephen Heatley pulled the
whole huge show together in a very
limited time. Musicals generally
need a much longer rehearsal time
than drama but with little extra
time he put the whole production
on stage in splendid manner.
There didn’t appear to be one slip,
one missed cue, one dropped line
the entire evening.
Future productions elsewhere
may have slight improvements to
the script but it’s hard to imagine
any that have a better overall
production than this.
Grey Township Council held its
regular meeting on June 15th, and

tion amounting to $8,976.50 was
