PAGE 3. Council reviews village's insurance coverage By Janice Becker In the annual review of insurance coverage for the Village of Blyth, councillors covered all aspects of the policy and will make a final recommendation prior to the Aug. 1 deadline. Rick Elliott of Elliott Insurance Brokers and Randy Fisher of Cowan Insurance Co., met with council on July 4 to discuss alterna- tives to keep the premium down yet ensure full coverage. Fisher outlined some of the increases, due to large insurance settlements in recent years, as well as areas where costs could be cut by increasing the deductible. The total cost of the village's insurance is $31,097, a 17 per cent increase over last year. It was suggested by Fisher, that the firefighters' coverage be increased to include "Loss of Life within 72 hours and resulting directly from a heart attack occur- ring while attending any emergency alarm including any practice alarm of exercise which simulates an emergency and also includes responding and returning to base." The change would add $190 to the premium. At present, the insur- ance does not cover practices or exercises. Other issues covered included environmental coverage for the Blyth-Hullett landfill site, legal fees for wrongful dismissal charges (up to $100,000 per policy year per occurrence with a $5,000 deductible), disability coverage, legal fees for conflict of interest charges, funeral insurance, crime coverage, property and machinery protection and liability. Councillor Doug Scrimgeour requested information on the removal of Grant Elliott as the vil- lage adjustor, last year. Fisher said their company took instruction from council and removed Elliott after receiving a phone call from the clerk-treasurer advising them of council's decision. "It was the understanding that if Elliott was removed, council would renew their policy with Cowan Insurance," said Fisher. Councillor Scrimgeour asked whether there had been any prob- lems with Elliott. Elliott continued to be used for other claims, said Fisher, and he knew of no problems.

Van Vliet had also been the first customer when Brown opened her first shop in Blyth 11 years ago. Chauncey's at new location By Janice Becker In classic high-energy, get-the- job-done style, Judy Brown, owner and proprietor of Chauncey's Hairstyling in Blyth, renovated, decorated and moved into a new location in just three days. The business is now located in Dinsley Street East, next to The Garage. After leaving the community for several years, Ms Brown returned to Blyth in 1982, but didn't open her hairstyling shop until two years later. "I had to find a shop when I real- ized I was working several hours every day out of my home," she says. The first shop was located, for three years, in what is now the the- atre's box office, before being forced to move down the street when the property was sold. Hair styles available to rural communities in the early 80s were very limited, she says.

"I offered precison cuts, Euro- pean products and a switch from curler styles to those which were styled with a blow dryer." After eight years in small quar- ters on Queen Street, Ms Brown says it was the right time to buy her own building for the business. "I am just thrilled with the beau- tiful work which was accomplished in just three days. We worked all weekend, drywalling, painting and putting down flooring." Chauncey's will be offering the same full service as always with a massage therapist and an estheti- tian's services available. "The possibilities for expansion are endless (with the new loca- tion)," she beams.
