The Citizen, 1999-06-02, Page 3A little elbow grease Mrs. Hulley’s Grade 7/8 class from Blyth Public School put in some hard labour Friday morning when they planted a peace garden as part of a school board project. With a little corner of town land near the soccer fields, the students planted gourds, sunflowers, potatoes and a few other vegetables which will be harvested in the fall. The class is looking for families or individuals who would like to assist in the caretaking over the summer. Murray Siertsema will do some cultivating and Betty Battye lent her expertise to the planting. Getting involved Norma Daer was the first resident of Blyth to jump into the Communities in Bloom competition. Daer, who has been an avid gardener for years, has planted her gardens with spectacular colours and a wide variety of flower choices. Committee members are encouraging village residents to plant their gardens and spruce up their yards in preparation for the July contest. Install Smoke Alarms IT’S THE LAW.

Kathy’s Korner By Kathy Bromley Last weekend Blyth was a busy place as numerous trailers parked at the arena for the Barn Dance Historical Society’s Jamboree Campout weekend. The special guest of the program was Gordie Tapp and no doubt, cousin Clem probably accompanied him. Gordie brought back numerous memories of his earlier years with Tommy Hunter. If you have not been out to cast your vote at the early polls for the provincial election, then tomorrow is your last chance to do so. Keep in mind that if you do not vote, then you have taken away your right to complain about the Party who wins the election. So, if you want to gloat - get out and vote, so your party has more supporters. Kathy’s Quote of the Week: Two can live as cheaply as a large family used to.
