Blyth to
Street.
While they agreed to allow the septic
tanks to be put in, the current bylaw states
that once sewage lines are in place, the
owner has to hook up to it within a year.
Because the cost of the line is approx-
imately $32,000 including legal costs, Coun-
cillor Tom Cronin noted, "To put it through
there, it's not worth it to the municipality."
The decision was reached to check with
the Ministry of Environment to see whether
council can charge for the line. In the mean
time, the land owner will be informed he will
have to hook up to the line once it is in place,
and he may have to pay.
PRIDE
Once again, the subject of the Program
for Renewal, Improvement, Development
and Economic revitilization of municipally
owned property ( PRIDE) arose at the
meeting.
Because the application for the funding is
due on January 31, council has enlisted the
aid of Art Clark of Maitland Engineering to
assist them with the application.
Councillor Lloyd Sippel had one concern
community. about the program. "Cindy (Cindy Fisher of

' By David Emslle
BLYTH - It was announced at council here
on December 16 that the village will receive
$40,000 under the Ontario Home Renewal
Program in 1987.
When the announcement was made, Coun-
cillor Bill Manning asked whether public
notice is made of the funds being made
available.
"There were originally ads about the
fund, but there were so many people apply-
ing, it dried up," Councillor Bill Howson
replied. "Maybe we should make it known
it's available, but it might be a good idea to
be prepared for a lot of people being
interested."
Council agreed that once the money ar-
rives, the people of the village should be in-
formed so they may apply for assistance. To
this end, notice will be put on the Public
Utilities Commission bills and on the local
cable television station.
Another grant the village will receive will
come from the Ministry of Tourism and
Recreation. The $6,000 will go towards
assisting with recreation programs in the
I3Iyth Standard
40,000
at a time," he said.
Council will be meeting with Mr. Clark
early in January to prepare their
application.
Liability
As a person or persons has been sighted
using the municipally owned Popp property
as a trail for their All Terrain Vehicle, coun-
cil checked with their insurance agent to see
whether they would be liable if that person
were injured.
They received four recommendations
from their company that would ensure the
village was not liable. Council decided to
follow these recommendations and they will
entail: posting proper signs in regards to
unauthorized use; putting a notice in local
papers expressing council's concern;'
notification in writing to property owners
bordering the village's property; notifica-
tion to police authorities if trespassing
continues. •
Highway 4
At their last meeting, council decided to
send a letter to the Ministry of Transporta-
tion and Communication requesting action
on reconstruction of Highway 4.
They received a letter in turn stating that
the highway is scheduled for improvement
in the ministry's five year capital program.
However, since that time; some concerns
have been brought before Reeve Wasson
regarding the portion of Highway 4 near the
senior citizen's apartments where the road
bottlenecks. He noted that some physical
damage is being done by the snowplows that

114 take in concert
By Kathy Bromley
BLYTH.- On Wednesday afternoon, I had
the honour of attending the Blyth Public
School Dress Rehearsal for the -concert,-
along with 114 other spectators. It was an
enjoyable afternoon, which really paid off in
seeing then, as I had the misfortune of com-
ing down with the flu on Thursday and was
unable to attend the concert on Thursday
evening.
A bus from Huronview also came out and
the senior citizens were entertained by the
children. Various songs and plays were
shown and given to bring everyone's
Christmas spirit up to level!
The Junior Choir, consisting of children
from Grades 1 to 4, shared four numbers
with us: My Favourite Things; Mary's Lit-
tle Boy; Santa's Usin' Zebras Now; and a
Music Box Carol.
The Kindergarten class, under the super-
vision of their teacher, Mary Buffinga, did
an excellent play on the first Christmas.
This was followed by the grades 1 and 2
doing a comical play entitled "Shapin' Up,
Santa". Santa had gained too much excess
weight throughout the year which they tried
to wear off him in order for him to be able to
go down the chimneys and not get stuck!
After the hilarious play, we were brought
back to a much more serious level with the
Senior Choir, Grade 5-8 singing five songs.
The songs chosen were entitled: "It's Begin-
ning to Look a Lot Like Christmas; Venite
Adoremus; Monotone Angel; Jus: a Little
Baby and Christmas is a Feeling."
Both choirs did an excellent job in singing.
The Grades 3 and 4 went to work next to
display "Nine Cheers for Christmas." The
word Christmas was broken down letter for
letter and a definition was given for each let-
ter as to what it stood for.
The Christmas Mood and Spirits were
raised again as Carols were then sung while
the students made preparations for the final
play. It was put on by Grades 5,6,7 and 8 and
entitled: "Follow that Star."
As principal Bill Black explained on
Wednesday afternoon, there were two
castings for each part in the play. In the
afternoon, Grades 5 and 6 were the stars in
the show, while Thursday evening, Grades 7
and 8 participated. Mr. Black explained that
this gives everyone a chance to show their,
theatrical talents - after all Blyth is known
for its theatre!
It was an enjoyable and relaxing after-
noon and the children as well as the teachers
deserve recognition for all the work that
was put forth.
Quote Of The Week: Play it safe so that
everyone can enjoy a safe and happy holi-
day. Merry Christmas!
