Blyth hosts musical Halloween party
The first-ever Java Shack, a
special evening of entertainment
hosted by the Blyth Centre for the
Arts’ board of directors, will be
presented on Oct. 29 at The Garage
Theatre on Dinsley Street.
The star attraction for the
evening will be Juanita Arkell,
accompanied by Earl Filsinger.
Juanita, a singer/songwriter from
Huron County, approached Blyth
Festival Artistic Director Anne
Chislett, asking for assistance in
producing a show that would
profile her original work.
Arkell’s musical credits include
opening for Skydiggers and
Canadian music sensation Beverley
Mahood and she has shared the
stage with Bearcats and Keating

Our condolences go out to Mrs. Griffiths, Ula and Olwen Richmond and
families in the sudden death of their husband and father, Ray Griffiths.
Last weekend I was physically reminded of an old tongue-twister that we
had said when I was growing up, “How much wood could a woodchuck
chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” Yes, you guessed it we were
cutting and storing wood in preparation for another season. Even though
Saturday was a beautiful day, maybe I overdid it. The next morning, every
bone and muscle in my body was stiff and sore, many of which I did not
realize even existed! I guess I had better get used to it though, as we still
have well over 55 tree tops to cut up.
As much as I am moaning over it now, it sure makes you feel good come
cold weather, when the stove is crackling away. You can sit back and enjoy
the fire knowing what all had to be done. In turn, you appreciate it even
more, thus proving that it is worth it in the end.
A reminder that every Monday night at 8 p.m. in Bainton’s Art Gallery,
euchre games are back in full swing for another season. The more the
merrier, so plan to come out and enjoy an evening. Afterall, how often can
you order your partner and get away with it?
Kathy’s Quote of the Week: The tea kettle is a marvellous appliance.
Imagine yourself trying to sing with your nose full of boiling water.

A self-taught musician who has
earned an Honours English degree
from Wilfrid Laurier University,
Arkell’s music has been called
“adult contemporary funky folk
with a side of blues but also sounds
a bit country every once in a
while.”
She currently lives in Blyth with
three wonderful teenage sons - a
working single mom who loves her
very hectic life.
Earl Filsinger, owner of Filsinger
Music in Stratford, an
accomplished musician and music

Massage therapy is one of the most powerful approaches to preventative
health care. It values the health of the whole person and tries to get to the
cause of the problem, rather than treating symptoms. Massage therapy is a
natural approach to a healthy lifestyle with little risk involved.
Cranio sacral therapy is a light-touch method of evaluating and enhancing
the cranio sacral system, the environment in which the brain and spinal cord
function. Developed by John E. Upledger, D.O., O.M.M., this manual
therapy encourages the body's natural healing mechanisms to improve the
capability of the central nervous system, dissipate the negative effects of
stress, strengthen resistance to disease and enhance health.
