School has newspaper
BLYTH - Four enterprising Grade 7 Blyth
Public School students in Mr. Yeats'. class
have started their own newspaper for the
school.
1 Kelly Cook, Tabatha Montgomery, Leah
Richmond and Tammy Bearss worked hard
to get the first edition to the students, and
the second edition should be out shortly.
Reporters have been appointed to each
grade, and its their job to report classroom
events, special features, sports contests and
humorous happenings. The paper also
features a short story each week -. the first
one by Jenny Allen of Grade 8 called Destiny
of Death.
It is hoped the newspaper will continue to
give Blyth students the "sco.op" on local
events.

requ.qsts
BLYTH - Council here will be requesthig,
additional government assistance in 1988 to
help offset the salary costs for the village's
summer recreation program.
Concern has been raised by council
members and parents that additional super-
vision is needed for the children involved in
the program. This summer two full-time
counsellors and a part-time assistant were
in charge of 115 children. While no com
plaints were raised about the program or
the counsellors' work, concern has been
voiced that additional supervision help is re-
quired in order to maintain the quality of the
program and ensure the safety of the
children.
Blyth requested government assistance at
provincial and federal levels for eight sum-
mer employees this,. year. Funding was
given from the provincial government to
cover the salary of one full-time counsellor.
The second salary was paid from village
coffers.
Children from Blyth, Hullett, East
Wawanosh and Morris Townships took part
in the summer program. Blyth Council cave
some conl+,'`lderation to requesting tingnCial
supppo�rt from the area municlpalitiesobut a
breakdown of registration figures showed
that. the n'iajority of children involved'came
from Blyth.
Ninety-four of the children (82 per cent)
came from Blyth; eight children (sevel}.per
cent) frorn East Wawanosh; seven children
(six per cent) from Morris; six children
(five per cent) from Hulled Township.
The projection for the 1986 program
estimates that the same number of children
will take part in the program. Costs
estimated for four youth employees, work-
ing seven hours a day for eight weeks at
$4.15 an hour total $5,200. That figure could
be reduced by $1,300 with a grant to cover
one salary, leaving the village balance at
$3,900.
Based on the registration figures, the
costs could be split by the four participating
municipalities: Blyth, $3,198; East
Wawanosh, $273; Morris, $234; Hullett, $195.
If funding was available to pay the
salaries of two youths, the total cost could be
$2,600 and shares would be divided as:
Blyth,"t,1:f3; Last Wawanosh, $182; Morris,
$156; Hallett, $130.
council had anticipated that a breakdown
of registration figures would show a higher
percentage of participation from neighbor-
ing municipalities. However since the
figures were lower than estimated, council
agreed that the townships •wouldnot be ask-
ed to make financial contributions to the
program. As Clerk Larry Walsh pointed out,
"it's like nit picking."
Council agreed to approach, the govern.
ment for more funding, placing :particular
emphasis on the fact that Blyth is the only
municipality in the area to offer a summer
program for children.
Council will also look at raising registra-
tion fees in 1986 as another avenin to in-
crease funding. In 1985 the registration fee
of $5 per child was used for purchasing
crafts and supplies for the eight week
course. If registration was increased to $10
per child, an additional $575 could be used to
offset salaries.
