PAGE 3. FROM BLYTH N. Huron considers expansion of Bloom effort By Bonnie Gropp Citizen staff Bringing Wingham and East Waw anosh into • Blyth's. Communities in Bloom is a project for consideration. At the May 7 meeting of North Huron council, there was discussion about expanding the program, which has been done so successfully in Blyth to all of North Huron. Though Clerk-Administrator John Stewart explained that the entry form is sent in November for- the next year's competition, Councillor Archie MacGowan said the "groundwork needs to be done now." Deputy-Reeve Jeff Howson, agreed noting the effort put into the program by the Blyth committee. He said he would speak to the group to see how they might begin while MacGowan offered to get some feed- back in Wingham. Blyth Festival's new production manager, Dave Surette, has assern bled a crew of technicians from all parts of Canada to build the sets and costumes for the 2001 season. Surette, who worked as Blyth's head carpenter last season said, "I'm really looking forward to heading the Festival production department. It's a brand new challenge for me, since this is one of Blyth's -largest seasons ever, and it opens with the spectacular adventure of staging The Outdoor Donnellys." On Friday, May 4 at the Blyth Trinity Anglican Church there were 39 guests present for the monthly get-together, while Adrian Vos deliv- ered tour takeout meals. Being as Mother's Day is just around the cor- ner, the day was promoting this theme. Dianne Weber welcomed everyone and mentioned that some regular participants were unable to attend. Millie Hoggarth prepared a mouth-watering meal of chicken breasts in sauce, potatoes, mixed vegetables, and cucumber salad. For dessert angel food cake with straw- berries was available for diabetics, while. chocolate cake with a cherry on top was served to the others. Helpers this month were Kyle McNeil and Jimmy Ritchie. Guests from the Seaforth Manor were Charlene •Foxton along with Everett Scrimgeour and Elsie Dismore. Two extra door prizes were donated com- pliments of the Manor. Mildred Lawlor of Auburn won the first door prize while Hermina Dyk and Ferne Howatt received the donated prizes. Anne Hulzebos was the winner in the 50/50 draw and since her birth- day is this month, she can treat her- self to something. Happy Birthday was then sung to her. Ms Weber mentioned that she recently had received a letter from Leah (the former convenor) who is living in Prince George, British Columbia. She is adjusting well and wanted to let everyone know she is still thinking of them. An interesting story was read as to how Mother's Day came to be. Did you know that back in 1910 it was considered a holiday? Later the holi- day was dropped and the second Sunday in the month of May became Mother's Day. A form from Blyth Festival was passed around which had previously called to see if the group would like to attend a performance. Anyone "Veteran technical director, Doug Morum; and former production man- ager, David James, have been very helpful with advice." The 2001 crew includes a balance of new- faces and returnees, includ- ing Andrew Cull of Belgrave who is promoted to head. carpenter. Sounds of sawing and hammering can already be heard from the Garage which houses the Festival's worksho s. Help protect the environment Reduce, reuse and rec cle interested was to sign the form, Twenty people are required to quali- fy as a group. Guests from Brussels Majestic Women's Institute were then wel- comed: Lucy Hesse, Marguerite and Charles Thomas, volunteer Lloyd Hutchinson and Kathy Bridge. Their theme was based on Osteoporosis, a crippling disease affecting over 250,000 Canadians, mostly women. This is degenerative porousness of the bones, causing them to fracture more easily and taking longer to heal. Osteoporosis is a more common ailment of aging women than of men and is believed to be related to the decrease in estrogen production fol- lowing menopause. An interesting play was then demonstrated to get the message across as to how one family discov- ered their 75-year-old mother had it. To make it even' more interesting, whenever the word "exercise" was used everyone in the audience was to do movements of their arms. When Osteoporosis was mentioned every- one was to sing "thin bones, thin bones ... them dry bones." Ms Weber thanked them for com- ing out to inform everyone about a very important topic that is often neglected and hoped that they enjoyed their meal. BecauSe of "Father's Day" people are asked next month to wear ties to dine out, women included. They will be judged accordingly.
