THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 2006. Letter to the editor Writer says this battle good for Blyth THE EDITOR, I would like to address this to council members and all people opposing the Battle of the Bands. As a younger person, and proud Blyth resident, I find it quite upsetting to hear the negative response to the Battle of the Bands competition which is to be held in our town in August. People need to think of the positive outcome of this event like, people from all over Canada coming here, who may not Letter have heard of Huron County before: an increase in business, and the best bands Canada has to offer as the next up and comings which we could say got the big break right here in Blyth. Everyone needs to have an open mind for once. It won't be just rock. There could be country bands as well. Besides it's just one day that could bring different people to our town for years to come, because let's face it Blyth and our surrounding community are beautiful and will have people wanting to come back. I hear many complaints about it going to be noisy but come on what's a little noise for one day when the Threshermen's is four? Is it just because it's not fully geared towards the older generation? People say the youth are the future so why not do something that will make the youth come to us. I would love to say Blyth is fully conscious of the future and is doing what's best to keep the town alive, and that we are holding this great event, that is finally for us and not just the older generation which we are known for , doing. I would like to again stress that it is just one day of music that could bring a huge profit to this community through camping, lodging at local B&B's and motels not to mention shopping — because don't forget, with youth comes parents, grandparents and friends all coming out to support their bands with plenty of time to kill and what better way to do that than to shop around the area. So again as a younger person of Blyth I make a plea on behalf of our generation — vote in favour of doing something different to better our community. It's just One Day that will be remembered for years. A proud Blyth Citizen, LeeAnn Riley. Good news does exist as reader shows THE EDITOR, As reported recently in The Citizen, Grey Twp. fire chiefs Cal Semple and Dave Diehl wish to decline the raises in pay awarded to them by Huron East council.
