HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 1999-01-20, Page 3Seniors dine out
for first time in ’99
The first Blyth Seniors diners
meal of 1999 had been postponed a
week due to the inclement weather
experienced.
On Jan. 15, although the Toronto
area was receiving typical winter
weather, Blyth was on the other
side of the coin for a change!
This brought 25 people out to
enjoy the monthly meal in the
Blyth Anglican Church. Due to the
poor weather last week, Monica
Gingerich from Clinton was there
on behalf of Town and Country
Homemakers, as Leah who is
normally there, had to look after
the meal in Wingham.
Everyone sat down to a delicious
meal of ham and scalloped
potatoes. Winners this month
consisted of Jean Nethery for the
door prize, while Kathy Bromley
was the recipient of the money
raised from the 50/50 draw.
Again everyone was reminded, to
not take things for granted, even
when plans had been made. Due to
a fatal accident in Goderich, where
an 83-year-old woman had been
killed, the guest speaker could not
attend. This month, it was planned
that Const. Don Shropshall of the
Goderich OPP was going to be
piesent to show a film and talk
about the topic of "Travelling
Alone."
Everyone made the best of things
by having games of analyzing
pictures to figure out what message
was being given.
Gingerich also read numerous
jokes that were enjoyed by
everyone.
The next meal for the Diners
Club will be held on Feb. 5,
weather permitting. This program
will centre around "Valentine's
Day", with a Lifeline Presentation
by Tammy Antaya of Town and
Country Homemakers.

Oops!
Nothing's easy when winter turns everything white as this trucker discovered early last
Wednesday morning at the first corner north of Blyth. An attempt to turn landed the truck in
the ditch, blocking one lane of the highway for several hours.
We believe...
in helping.

To help in this time of need, the
Canadian Fiddlers’ Hall of Fame
has sponsored the establishment of
the Graham and Eleanor Townsend

The musical community along
with those who knew her, suffered
a great loss when renowned Cana

Townsend died in a house fire,
Dec. 31, in Barrie, along with her
five-year-old granddaughter,
Isabella Monti.
Isabella is the daughter of
Catherine Monti of Dungannon.
Townsend's son, Gray, 23,
received serious burns while escap
ing from the fire and is in hospital.
Townsend and her husband, Gra
ham, who died of cancer Dec. 3,
performed at Blyth Memorial Hall
on several occasions. Their son,
also a musician, had performed
with them on recent trips to the vil
lage.
The trust fund will finance emer
gency needs and, if possible, a last
ing memorial to the couple.
Donations can be made at any
CIBC branch to be forwarded to the
Barrie branch at 363 Bayfield St.,
L4M 3C3. Anyone wishing more
information may contact Willis

A memorial and celebration ser

are fiddles and guitars.

The Blyth Sparks, Brownies,
Guides and Pathfinders had the
opportunity in December to take a
bus trip to Kitchener's Doon
Pioneer Village. It was a great day
weatherwise - it must have been
one of the last good days before the
snow arrived.
The girls were given a glimpse of
life as it was just prior to the turn of
the century, with a chance to do
some Christmas crafts, taste some
homemade goodies, listen to live
entertainment (including carrollers)
and take a horse-drawn wagon ride.
The trip helped complete parts of
the Heritage and Folklore badges.
The Blyth Legion gave a
generous donation to help fund the
trip.
