Blyth council
will absorb
recreation debt
Blyth village council will absorb
$6,359 owed by the Blyth and
District Recreation Centre Board to
the village when the board was set
up and sent a letter of apology for
having sent a bill to the board for
the amount.
The amount was insurance that
was owed to the village by the
arena board at the end of 1986. It
had been the habit of the village to
absorb whatever money was owed
to it by the arena and when the new
board came into effect in April 1988
it was understood by the board
members that the bill would be
picked up by the village.
But when the auditors were
doing the Blyth books they came
across the bill for the insurance and
wondered why it hadn’t been paid.
A bill was sent to the Community
Centre Board and was paid. Only
later was it discovered that the
arena board paid a bill it didn’t
know it owed
“In all fairness,” Reeve Wasson
said, “we owe it to the arena under
the interpretation they had at the
time (the agreement was signed).”
The money will be deducted from
the $12,740 owed by the Board to
the village at the present time.
However, the reeve wasn’t
happy by some of the other
conditions put forward by Council
lor Dave Medd on behalf of
Councillor Dave Lee who was
absent from the meeting. The two
representatives on the Community
Centre Board wanted the interest
charged on that amount returned
and also wanted a letter of apology.
Reeve Wasson was opposed to
sending a letter of apology to the
board over the misunderstanding
but it passed supported by council
lor Medd and Councillor Ken
Brown who said he agreed with the
suggestion of Councillor Lee for the
letter who, he said, had been
arguing the town’s side of the
situation before the board thinking
he was right but later found out he
was wrong.
In other business, Councillor
Medd said the cooling system at
the arena is in bad shape. If
another year’s service can be
gotten out of the system without a
breakdown it will be lucky, he said.

blood tracing down his forehead

hands and feet dripping on the
ground and from his side, fresh
wounds cut by the spear from one
of the soldiers who mocked him.

of Isaiah repeating what he had
prophecied “We despised and
rejected him, he endured suffering
and pain, we ignored him as if he

sins have we ever given it much
thought?
In this season Lent, join with me
and the whole Christian Commun
ity in remembering how much God
loves us that He gave his only Son
that through believing in Him, we
may have eternal life. “On this
Lenten season, a Time of Penti-
nence and Contemplation. Please
take time and have a moment of
silent prayer. Thank you.
their dependency and receptability;
(2) their spontaneity; (3) their
simple trust. We as adults should
try to be more open and to
recognize, like a child who runs to
his parent when he is hurt, that we
can depend on Jesus in our hour of
need, that he is there for us.
We should act more on impulse,
try to be more natural. Many of us
tend to hold back because of fear of
embarassment or because we don’t
wish to become involved. Jesus
stressed spontaneity in his words
“If your brother is hungry ... feed
him; if he is lonely ... cheer him; if
he is sick ... visit him; if he is naked
... clothe him.” Like a child trusts
his parents because he knows they
care for him and will provide good
things for him so we must trust in
Jesus who cares for us. We must
have faith, believing in his power,
in his suffering and dying and in
his promise.
