In loving memory of Ken, a wonderful hus-
band, father and grandfather, who died
December 4, 2007.
As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our.sides
To help and support us....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?
We wondered if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.
Loved and missed by wife Sue and family.

hi memory of a loving mother and grand-
mother, Gladys, who passed away November
30, 2006.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and very dear.
Forever in our hearts, Pat, Don, Ryan, Brett,
Amy, and Pamela. -49nx

In loving memory of Kase, who passed away
December 8, 2007.
What made us lovers in the long ago
When we first met?
Well 1 think 1 know.
The best in me, and the best in you,
Found each other, because we know,
That always and always, since time began,
Our being partners was part of God's plan.
Sadly missed by Annie and family. -49x

A Killing Snow to premiere at Blyth Festival
The Blyth Festival will mount anoth-
er season of powerful Canadian theatre
in 2010," announced Artistic Director,
Eric Coates. In listening to the audience,
Coates noted that "assessing its appetite
for thought-provoking dramas versus
knock -down comedies, he has to consid-
er the many requests for revivals of past
favourites and weigh these against the
demands for exclusively new work."
He added, "The range of tastes and
opinions of the audience is staggering"
- a testament to the great artists who
have built this Company over the past 35
years, by extension creating a sophisti-
cated palate of theatre -goers in Huron
County. For 2010, Coates has selected
three world premieres and one revival
from the late 1980s.
Opening the 2010 season with com-
edy, murder and mayhem is the world
premiere production A Killing Snow by
Paul Ciufo. Ciufo's 2007 hit, Reverend
Jonah, was a finalist for the Governor
General's Award. Now he is back, but
this time,- ladies and gentlemen, he ain't
so friendly... Four travelers take refuge
from a Huron County blizzard in the se-
cluded home of Gerald Goldie, retired
Latin teacher. All four of the strangers
have some things in common -- a work-
ing knowledge of Latin, a serious dis-
taste for their host... and a growing ani-
mosity for each other. As ominous Latin
phrases begin to appear on the walls, it
becomes clear that someone has murder
on the mind. And as the body count rises,
our stranded guests are forced to choose
between certain death in the blizzard, or
tempting fate in the safety of Gerald's
home.
Our second offering is Bordertown
Cafe by Kelly Rebar which premiered
in Blyth in 1987, and is now a Canadian
classic. The bordertown -cafe is home to
17 -year-old Jimmy and his single mom,
adrift on the difficult waters of teen/par-

ent relations. Grandma Maxine, a reluc-
tant immigrant from the States, carries on
a loud and hilarious commentary while
Grandpa Jim keeps his cool. On the first
day of school Jimmy's eagerness to at-
tend is dampened by the sudden news
that his ne'er-do-well father, a trucker
from the States, wants to take his son to a
new home in the south. Wise words from
Grandpa and wisecracks from Grandma
help Jimmy make the toughest decision
he's ever faced.
Gary Kirkham's Queen Milli of Galt
was a hit with our audience in 2007. Like
this earlier work that used local lore as
inspiration, Pearl Gidley tells the heart-
warming story of Pearl who lives a quiet
life with her sister, taking in boarders, but
avoiding contact with the outside world.
When a mysteriously evasive young man
from the U.S. arrives as a new guest,
suspicions mount that he may be a draft
dodger. The spinsters' curiosity about
his past is matched only by his curiosity
about the untouched piano and the sheet
music that Pearl keeps on display. Grad-
ually, they draw each other's stories out,
note by note. Like all of Blyth's most
popular plays, this one brings unexpect-
ed laughs.along with the mystery.
The final production of 2010 is an en-
gaging drama, The Book of Esther by
Leanna Brodie. Leanna's 2006 Blyth
hit, Schoolhouse, continued to soar at 4th
Line Theatre in both 2007 and 2008. In
her newest play, Esther is a typical rebel-
lious teenage fundamentalist Christian
who sings and prays with a fervent desire
to spread the word of God. When she suf-
fers a severe crisis of faith, Esther runs
from her rural home, seeking sanctuary
in Toronto. When Esther's parents arrive
to bring their daughter home, a young
delinquent and self-styled rescuer named
A.D. whisks her away into the dark night
of the big city. Both parents and child are
unsure of themselves in the urban envi-
ronment, leading to a re-examination of
their own safety nets of religion and fam-
ily. A provocative, but entirely balanced
and sympathetic story of faith.
All of these playwrights have graced
the Blyth Festival stage in the past.
Three of them have done so in the past
four years. Our audience has welcomed
this new generation of writers into one
of Canada's most treasured theatres: the
Blyth Festival.
