Rutabaga committee plans 5th Festival
To celebrate its fifth anniversary,
committee members of the Blyth
Rutabaga Festival are planning to
make this year's event bigger and
better than ever.
Radford's in Blyth will be hosting
a seminar for ladies only Oct. 18.
"Women Behind the Wheel" is
an instructional workshop geared to
car care and maintenance. Owner
Diane Radford said the idea has
CRC hears
guest pastor
On Sunday, Oct. 3, the Blyth
Christian Reformed Church was
pleased to welcome Rev. Dwayne
Thielke to the pulpit as the guest
pastor for the day.
Rev. Thielke and his wife Gladys
and their children are representa-
tives of the Christian Reformed
World Missions in the Philippians
where they serve as missionaries.
The congregation was invited to
an informative and educational
meeting at the Christian Reformed
Church on Saturday, Oct. 2 at
8 p.m. to learn more about the
Thielke's work as missionaries.
The scripture text was taken from
Philippians 4: 10-20.
A monetary offering was taken
up for "World Missions" as they
continue in efforts to change, help
and renew lives.
During the morning service a
special hymn entitled "Abide With
Me", was dedicated to Bill and Ann
Fidom as the congregation shared
in the joy of their 40th wedding
anniversary.
Mr. and Mrs. Fidom were not
able to attend the service due to
Mrs. Fidom's health, however, the
congregation shares heartfelt best
wishes to the Fidoms.
In the evening Rev. Thielke also
lead the service of worship.

eliminated.
An hourly outside worker posi-
tion has been created and will
report to the Village Foreman with
additional casual labour being used
as only needed.
The changes in the operation of
Blyth-Hullett landfill will hopefully
continue to reduce weekly labour
requirements, presently reduced by
12 to 15 hours.
The Municipal/PUC office will
be closed on monthly utility due
date over the lunch hour, realizing
a savings of approximately $500
per year and extra office help will
be used only to cover holidays for a
savings of approximately $2,000.
As part of the restructuring, new
positions have been created with
new job descriptions.
John Rinn was confirmed as road
superintendent/public works fore-
man and Bill Bromley was appoint-
ed assistant to the public works
foreman.
Reeve David Lee said, "Many
hours and hard work had been put
into finding a solution to the finan-
cial situation. The work of the ad
hoc committee, council, PUC,
administration staff and employees
will help the village in the long
term. The village will be better off
in the end."
In a related matter, applications
were opened for the position of
BHEC commissioner. Dale Whit-
field was appointed to the position.
Mr. Whitfield has worked for
Ontario Hydro as an accountant
and has been a member of the road
commission since its inception one
year ago.
Despite minimal attendance at
the committee meeting, Sept. 28,
the committee is hoping that they
will get enough community support
to fulfill their plans for a successful

but just began to take shape after a
similar seminar was held for men
recently.
Company president Doug Scrim-
geour noted that as 55 percent of
the drivers today are women, it
seemed that the need was there.
Ms Radford said that in addition
to being tutored on such specifics
as changing tires, hooking up bat-
tery cables and learning quick road-
side fixes, there will be a question
and answer period with licensed
celebration.
Though last year's Festival was
reduced to a one-day event, the
committee plans to have this event
over the three days of the June 24
mechanics.
Also, she said, as it is getting
close to winter driving, the experts
will offer advice on what you
should carry in your car for emer-
gencies.
The seminar, which will be held
at Radford's back shop will begin at
7:30 and should last one hour, fol-
lowed by time for questions and
refreshments, is free.
Interested women can register by
calling either the Brussels or Blyth

Discussion centred around a
dance for the Friday evening and
the possibility of a shirt tale parade.
Other possible events discussed
for the weekend would include a

Co-chairpersons for this year are
Michelle Richmond and Brenda
Burkholder, who are hoping for
volunteers to come forward to offer
ideas and help.
Mrs. Burkholder said that many
people were disappointed that last
year's event was so small. "It takes
a lot of people working together as
a team to have a successful event.
We need more people so we can
see if these plans can be activated."
