Blyth great on plate
but loses game to errors
Seniors keeping cool and busy
The Blyth Squirt Boys suffered a
miserable defeat against Wroxeter
on July 31 when they lost, 24 to 11.
A few too many errors gave
Wroxeter consistent scoring
throughout the seven inning game
till they finished up with six runs in
the final inning to dunk Blyth.
But Blyth was great on the plate
with two players hitting home runs.
Brian McNichol hit a homerun in
the first and sixth inning while
Ryan Hallahan whomped the ball
home in the fifth. Brian maintained
a four for four at the plate while
Ryan and teammate Philip Egli
were both three for four at the
plate.

The summer is flying by while
the seniors are keeping busy with
lots of outings and activities. We
are keeping cool and trying not to
complain about the heat with
thoughts of winter soon arriving.
Charlene Conley, our summer
student, has planned a busy month
in August for us. On August 8, Lee
Bray from our local craft store will
be demonstrating the techniques of
lawn chair macrame to us. This will
be an idea project for our annual
craft and bake sale coming up in
November.
On August 10 we will be heading
to the Waterloo area to attend the
Waterloo Farmer’s Market. One of
the highlights of the day will be our
noon meal at Elmira’s Stone Crock
restaurant. Everyone is looking
forward to this day away. In
preparation for our craft and bake
sale our clerk/bookkeeper, Cathy
Ritsema, will be assisting us in the
making of Rag Wreaths. We will be
attending our last Blyth play of the
season on August 17 where we will
see “Perils of Persephone’’. Char
lene has planned entertainment
afternoons for the week of the 22 -
23. On August 31 we will be
viewing “The King and I’’ at the
Grand Bend theatre. Our water
exercise program will continue on
Friday’s throughout the month of
August.
Gloria Workman, our director of
the centre is presently on holidays
and will be back with us on August

Volunteers are a big part of our
organization. If you have a few free
hours during the week and would
like to spend some time in the
community please give us a call at
357-1440 or 357-1445. Our volun
teers have many diversified roles at
the centre and I’m sure there is an
opening for you!
