Lions Club request Uyth council approve By Rod Hilts On July 4, Blyth council passed a resolution that the Blyth Lions Club be granted ' rmission to operate two beer gardens; one on August 4, 5, 6 and 7, in connection with a 32 team slo-pitch ball tournament and the other on September 10 and 11 in connection with the Huron Steam Threshers Show. On September 10 and 11, the beer gardens will be held outside in the Lions Park. On August 4, 5, 6 and 7 the beer gardens will be set up on the arena floor and the grass area south of the arena will be used as well. After hearing the request from Lions Club members Murray Manning and Al Donaldson, council passed the motion in a recorded vote of 3-2. Mr. Donaldson told council that the Lions Club depended a lot on revenue from the beer gardens in their fund raising. Councillors Albert Wasson and William Howson were both opposed to the beer gardens. Both councillors said they appreciated what the Lions Club does for the community. However, as Mr. Howson put it, "I can't change my mind, it's a moral issue." Councillors Lloyd Sippel and William Manning supported the beer tent proposal. Reeve Tom Cronin's vote in favor of the resolution broke the tie. Council also heard a request from the Bain- toneers baseball team to operate a beer gardens on July 29, 30 and 31. Two team representatives told council they would like permission to operate a beer gardens out of the eer Gardens Thresher's shed outside of the arena. The Baintoneers had also planned to haasmi band performing in the during one of the evenings. Council questioned the representatives on why they weren't using the arena facilities for such an event. The duo replied that last year people couldn't watch the baseball games while they were in the arena beer gardens. Councillor Howson ex- plained that in the past there has been problems with the beer gardens. He said last year's entertainment brought about noise com- plaints from some neigh- boring residents. Council agreed that if the Baintoneers held the beer garden in the Threshermen's shed, noise could be an even larger problem than m the past. Council passed a SNELL'S GROCERY LTD.

MTC denies request for $15,000 Council received a letter from the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications (MTC) ex- plaining that no additional funding is available for Blyth's 1983 program. The $15,000 that council had applied for was to cover the cost of paving sections of Dinsley, Drummond and Wellington Streets. Rather than cut the road program, council decided to try and obtain funds from the Ontario Neighborhood ._ Improvement Program (ONIP) grant of $100,000, which the village recently received The problem is the ONIP funds are to be distributed over a three-year period and may not be available until December. If funds are not available through ONIP, council will dip into its reserve fund to pay for the remainder of the road program. Clerk Larry Walsh said he expects to call tenders for the program in a couple of weeks and that construction may begin in 45 days.

(Shelley McPhee photo) Blyth will receive $100,000 through ONIP program Blyth will receive a $100,000 grant under the Ontario Neighborhood Improvement Program (ONIP), Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Claude Bennett has an- nounced. In addition to Blyth, 65 other Ontario municipalities will benefit from $12 million in ONIP grants. ONIP was launched in 1981, after the unilateral cancellation by the federal government of the Community Services Contribution Program. Since then, the pro- vince has provided $23.8 million to 76 municipalities. Under ONIP, the province contributes 50 percent toward the cost of the neighborhood improvement project, in- cluding roads, sidewalks, parks, com- munity centres and recreational facilities. Projects are to be completed over the next four years, with provincial grants allocated in installments as the work pro- gresses. ONIP is one of a series of provincial in- itiatives to assist municipalities and the private sector in community renewal ac- tivities. The community improvement pro- grams also include downtown and main street revitalization. Her tape of a church service showed what wonderful sing- ing voices the Fijians possess. The audience delighted in winding narrow roads, flowering trees and plants, telephone poles of the kind used in Canada in the early years of the century, a queer looking cow, underwater pic- tures which Clare took from a boat, a bird sitting atop a tea house's thatched roof, and the ceremony of an of- ficial welcome at a -Methodist Church where the minister was also Fiji's am- bassador to New Zealand. On display were articles Clare McGowan had pur- chased at a Fiji market. Among them, a policeman doll, an Australian swagman doll, and a turtle, the pictures emblem of Fiji. Miss McGowan was in- troduced by Adeline Camp- bell and in appreciation presented with a gift by president June Peck who also during the business ses- sion announced two dates: November 5, the UCW bazaar for which Susan Howson will convene the Us- ed Clothing department, and August 2, the induction ser- vice for Rev. Ken Bauman at which UCW will serve refreshments. At the United Church last Sunday Rev. Arthur Gard- ner of Goderich delivered an inspiring sermon entitled God's Welcoming Arms. Mr. Gardner's sermon next Sunday is entitled Mutual Dependence. Seaforth arena seeks tax rebate SEAFARTH - The Seaforth and District Community Centre continues a battle for a $32,000 sales tax rebate.
