PAGE 6. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1996
By Bonnie Gropp
When you need information, it
makes sense to go to those who
know the answers.
After many years of funding a
tourist information booth in the vil-
lage, which was staffed by inexpe-
rienced students throughout the
summer, Blyth Council was
pleased to hear at its June 3 meet-
ing that Blyth Festival would
assume opet ation of the booth.
General Manager Karen Stewart
made a proposal to council that
showed an estimated cost for the
season of $1,200. The cost to the
village last year had been approxi-
mately $1,950 for wages and $50
for supplies.
Noting that the staff at the theatre
box office is aware of area events
and can give directions as request-
ed, she added, that extra assistance
will be necessary on matinee days
and for a few special occasions.
This will also mean an increase in
hours of operation for the informa-
tion booth.
She suggested several ideas for

paying for bag tags, we'll pick up
your garbage for free". Being a
recycler at heart, who especially
likes saving money, you put the
garbage out for the recycler instead
of the municipality, therefore a lot
of waste never gets sent to the
landfill. Now this becomes a big
problem to the county that depends
on your garbage going to the dump.
The first problem is that if there
is less waste going to the dump and
the bills for building the facility
would still have to be paid, the
county will either have to increase
the tipping fees to pay for the
decreased revenues or else
subsidize the system to keep the
council's consideration. Wages
would amount to 2-hours on each
of the 19 matinees, in addition to
one and a half hours per week for
the 11 week season to straighten
and sort racks and order pamphlets,
plus 20 hours for special events. At
$7.50 an hour plus 12 per cent ben-
efits the cost of wages would be
$625.80.
The Festival administration
would supervise and hire the staff
required.
Miscellaneous expenses was esti-
mated at $100. There was a
"guesstimate" of $352 for signage,
the.purchases of which would be
supervised by the Blyth Business
Association.
The final cost was set at $122.20
for new moveable racks for the Box
Office that could be transferred
during the fall and winter months
when the office is closed to the
administration office.
After receiving council's endorse-
ment of the proposal Reeve Mason
Bailey said, "I am really pleased
someone is taking over. I feel it's
tipping fees low.
Needless to say, the subsidy
would be just another expense. The
long and short of it would be, that
taxpayers would be left holding the
bag — the garbage bag that is.
I must add another reason why
the county should not build the
dump, on the strength of the facts
that have just been presented.
Should the landfill be built and if
the county needs a steady waste
flow, would there be any incentive
for the county to promote further
reductions in waste by encouraging
recycling, composting etc.? I think
the answer is self-evident.
Sincerely yours,
Rob McQueen.
important we give our visitors a
better welcome (than in the past). I
believe this gives us a much better
image."
Stewart said, "The Blyth Centre
for the Arts feels that hosting the
tourist booth out of the Box Office
will be beneficial both economical-
ly and geographically."
Thieves nab stereo
The theft of a car stereo is under
investigation by officers of the
Wingham OPP.
A police report states that some-
time overnight on May 31, a 1989
Ford Mustang, owned by Kirk
Kreiger of Dinsley St., Blyth was
broken into, while parked at his
residence. The lock on the trunk
was punched out and entry was
then gained through the backseat.
Also taken were a number of CDs.
