gets
heating
system
The Blyth and District
Community Centre is in the process
of installing a new propane heating
and air conditioning unit which will
service the auditorium.
Tenders had been called and the
board awarded the contract to the
lowest bidder, Conestoga Mechan
ical, at a price of $38,375. The
price also includes a dehumidifier
which will be installed in the arena
at a later date. The dehumidifier
will alleviate the problem of
moisture forming on the beams and
causing them to rust.
The new propane heating and air
conditioning unit replaces the
electric system which had become
extremely expensive to operate.
Engineer, Martin Stephenson from
Integrated Engineering, has
estimated that the new system will
save the Blyth & District
Community Centre Board $10,000
to $15,000 per year in energy costs.
The board believes the new unit
will be more cost efficient and save
tax dollars. Also as municipal
restructuring discussions intensify,
it is the board's opinion that some
arenas in Huron County may be
forced to close. The board believes
that the arenas which operate the
most efficiently will have the best
opportunity for survival and
therefore the board's decision to
upgrade the heating and cooling
system.
The board has also indicated that
the new system will not be financed
by increased taxes. Local service
organizations are being asked to
assist with fundraising to help
cover the cost of the expenditure.
Donations from individuals or
groups will also be gratefully
accepted and may be dropped off at
the Village of Blyth Municipal
Office.
Additional information on the
project may be obtained by
contacting Board Chairman Bob
Szusz or at the Village Municipal
Office.
Students
get funds
for trip
Thanks to good community sup
port, the Grade 8 class at Blyth
Public School was able to raise the
funds needed for their trip to
Toronto.
The class held bingos and a silent
auction to help pay for the trip
which took them to Black Creek
Pioneer Village, Canada's Wonder
land, a Blue Jays ball game and a
performance of Phantom of the
Opera.
Students said the trip was very
educational and enjoyable.
A ride in the past
These little visitors to the Blyth Fire Department’s Open
House on Sunday were fascinated by the antique
pumper, more than the new rescue van, which was to be
the guest of honour. Firefighters served up hot dogs and
sausage on a bun to their guests.
