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 Continued on page 6 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. Generous donation Harm and Irene Thalen, right of Blyth present a cheque in the amount of $2,200 to Cheryl deSlegle, chairperson of Child Find . The money was raised in recognition of the Thalen's son, Rick, pictured, who was killed last winter in a car accident. Family and friends contributed at a 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.
