Jason Lee, son of David and
Rosemarie Lee of Blyth, has
returned from a five week
exchange to Holland.
The exchange is sponsored by the
Council
responds
to complaints
Complaints from neighbours
prompted Blyth council to warn a
Drummond St. landowner that he
must clean up the property.
Property Standards Officer Paul
Josling told council at its Aug. 11
meeting that he feels the property is
in violation of the village's bylaw
regarding the maintenance of local
property. He said there were sever-
al items piled on the lot and weeds
about five feet in height.
The landowner, who was present,
told council that rocks and other
items had been left by landscapers
working on neighbouring proper-
ties after they had removed topsoil.
Reeve Dave Lee said that the vil-
lage hadn't caused the problem.
"It's your property, sir. We have no
control over who enters it, but we
have complaints and we must deal

Blyth Legion and the Lions Club.
Jason says he spent the first two
weeks in the northern part of the
Netherlands in a town of 2000 situ-
ated on a channel leading to the
North Sea.
This part of his stay was quite
relaxing, he says, as he spent a lot
of time sailing and fishing, the
main pastime and occupation in the
village.
Jason also visited a large amuse-
ment park called Efling. "It was
very much like a Storybook Gar-
dens for adults," explains Jason.
The park featured depictions of
fairytales but there were no rides.
His next two weeks were spent
close to the German border in the
city of Roalte. With a population of
17,000, Jason says there were more
things to see and do. The family he
stayed with had excursions planned
for each day. In travelling through
the farm areas, Jason says it is very
much like Canada.
Jason says he enjoyed the final
week of his exchange the most. He
attended Green Yard Camp which
was held in an old castle. The castle
is part of a boarding school for the
children of diplomats through the
rest of the year.
The camp was for the 20 young
people involved in the Lions
exchange program. People from 12
different countries participated.
Jason says this was the most inter-
esting because he got to meet kids
from all over the world.
Jason says, "The exchange pro-
gram is a great experience and I
would recommend it to anyone. It
would be great to go again, maybe
to Spain. It would be nice to visit
the home countries of some of the
people I met at camp."
He would also like to return to
the Netherlands one day and says,"I
have at least two places I can stay."
Danielle McDougall also took
part in the exchange. She spent four
weeks in Finland.

deSlegle, chairperson of Child Find . The money was raised in recognition of the Thalen's son,

benefit dance in July.
The environmental rehabilitation of the Blyth Brook has been steadily
moving along at all four project sites. Almost 2 km of stream has had
habitat improvements in the form of reducing slit load, lowering summer
water temperatures, restricting livestock access, and Improving
Instream cover by adding rock for hiding cover for trout. The O.M.N.R.
from Wingham are planning a work day for the people within the Village
of Blyth to do some habitat Improvements In the Blyth Brook between
Highway #4 and the arch. The work day is scheduled for August 21
from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. If you can volunteer to assist with this
project, please contact Kevin Coultes at 3574131 at work or at 523-4927
at home. This is your opportunity to do something worthwhile for
fisheries management In your "own backyards".
