Rutabaga plans still up in the air
Blow out!
How many children does it take to blow out 100 candles? A
whole classroom full. Mrs. Armstrong-Gibson’s Grade 2
students from Blyth Public School celebrated the 100th day of
the school year with cake, balloons and stories last Monday.
Just over 15 people, represent
ing many of Blyth’s community
groups attended the meeting last
Wednesday night to discuss the
future of the Rutabaga Festival.
The clear consensus, according
to committee secretary Jane Gard
ner, was that the Festival should go
on as planned for the weekend of
June 21, 22, and 23.
A two-hour discussion was held
on the key point of finding a
chairperson to pull the Festival
together. Lynn Logue was volun
teered for the position, Ms. Gard
ner said, but has since stated she
won’t be able to make that commit
ment.
Many plans have proceeded. The
Optimist Club is considering taking
over the organization of the Ruta
baga Festival Parade and the Blyth
Lions are holding a dance on the
Saturday night. The Legion is again
holding a Penny Sale. Lorna Fraser
is the school and council Liaison,
with assistance from Betty Battye.
Ms. Gardner said the next
meeting will be held on March 4 in
council chambers and it will be
decided if no one comes forward to
be chairman, whether or not the
Rutabaga Festival can continue. ‘‘I
think it could still go. With so many
groups able to take over the
planning of some of the events it

CELEBRATION
by Tina Burkholder
On Tuesday, February 5 the
students at Blyth Public School
celebrated the First Anniversary of
the New Resource Area.
Mrs. Maureen Montgomery, a
parent, made two super-large
cakes to feed the 213 people
(teachers included) at B.P.S. On
one of the cakes was the B.P.S.
emblem and the other cake was
made in the shape of a book and
had the words: ‘‘One Year Old”,
“Library and Special Resource
Room”. Each person got a piece of
cake and a glass of juice.
Each class visited the library in
the morning and got the chance to
compete in several contests and
also write on a paper heart a
message that explained “What
Makes Them Happy”. Meanwhile
one of Mrs. Webster’s Library
Assistants was video-taping the
whole thing.
Two of the contests were: 1) to
guess how many beans were in a
jar. Prize - a bag of jelly beans for
your class. 2) The weight of the
whole set of encyclopedias. Prize -
a bag of candy hearts. Grade 8 won
the jelly beans, courtesy of Mr.
Sygrove and Grade 3 won the candy
hearts, courtesy of Ryan Mont
gomery.
Everyone had a super-fantastic
time and would like to thank Mrs.
Webster for arranging this for us

Correction
Last week in The Citizen, it was
stated that the bridal show spon
sored by the Wingham and District
Community Living Association is to
be held in Memorial Hall in Blyth
on April 24. The correct date is
actually April 21.
We apologize for any confusion
this may have caused.

They started off by beating
Vanastra two games to none, losing
to Seaforth, then losing again to
Hullett. .
Finally, they won two games to
one against Clinton and lost to
Huron Centennial, putting them in
fifth place overall.
They had fun and would like to
thank Mrs. Armstrong-Gibson, the
coach, for the time she spent
coaching them.
