Blyth Business Assoc.
plans festive events
I got an idea
Fiona the Fox (aka Anne Elliott) come up with an interesting idea to save the life of her pal,
Ralph the Sheep Dog (aka Duncan McGregor) during the performance of New Friends, Old
Friends, at Blyth Memorial Hall, Monday afternoon. Children from public schools around the
region will attend the play during the week with a matinee performance open to everyone,
on Saturday.
Scouting year begins
THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1996 PAGE 23.
Help protect the environment
Reduce, reuse and recycle
With Christmas just a few weer,s
away, the Blyth Business Associa-
tion is swinging into high gear to
prepare for the season.
At the September meeting,
Nancy Hakkers reported on the
planned promotions. The Lighting
of the Lights and Evening Door
Crasher Sales will be held Nov. 15.
For those needing to stock up on
warm food before hitting the shops,
a chili supper will be offered at
Memorial Hall between 5:30 p.m.
The 1996-97 Scouting year has
started off in Blyth on a very
positive note. Registration numbers
are up overall, with most of the
boys returning from last year, some
new ones joining, and some new
leaders starting as well.
1st Blyth Scouting is grateful to
their local sponsors, the Blyth
Legion, Branch 420, and the Blyth
Lions Club. Without their support
Scouting may not be active in
Blyth.
To make good use of the summer
weather, and to promote good
relations between all facets of
scouting and guiding, a 'Welcome
Back' campfire was held Sept. 21 at
the Benmiller Conservation Area.
All sections are now making
plans for investiture of new
members, for 'Apple Day' on Oct.
26 and for participation in
Remembrance Day, Nov. 11.
Section programs are geared to
the age level and abilities of the
boys. Beavers are learning to work
in small groups, with stories, songs,
crafts and games. Cubs are more
active. They have each made a kite,
learned about the use of tools, and
will make a periscope. They
planned their first camp, the Sixer-
Seconder for Oct. 18-20.
Scouts are putting a lot of what
they have learned into good
practice. They began the year with
a day at Wawanosh Lake, learning
canoe strokes and manoeuvres.
Then over two weekends some of
them hiked the Maitland Trail,
from Benmiller to Goderich, and
from Auburn to the Boundary
Bridge.
Rovers are also going to be
active this year, Vthough most of
their activities will be next spring,
due to school commitments.
The next meeting of the 1st Blyth
Group Committee will be Nov. 18
at 7:30 p.m. at the Blyth Public
School. Parents are welcome to
attend.
Encourage physical activity for
all people. Becoming more active
tends to have a positive effect on
body image. Non-competitive
activity programs lead to improve-
ments in self-esteem for teenage
girls. Try to make it easy for young
people to be active. Do your school
grounds invite active play? Ask
kids to come up with some active
alternatives to playing video games
at home.
and 8 p.m. The lighting of the
lights will occur at 6 p.m.
Karen Stewart, Fran Cook and
Don Scrimgeour will organize the
Christmas pageant while Nancy
Hakkers, Donna Longman and
Jeannette McNeil will take care of
the Dec. 21 raffle.
BBA members are looking into
new lights for the crabapple tree in
front of the theatre and the possibil-
ity of a nativity scene in the court-
yard.
