New apartment building for Blyth
BLYTH - After seeing new construction
virtually stagnate last year, the Village of
Blyth seems to be on the verge of a minor
building boom in. 1987 headed by the con-
struction of a new eight -unit apartment
building.
Blyth Council released information
on March 11 following a closed meeting .at
the end of its regular council session, that it
had sold a parcel of land just south of the
Queen's Village senior citizens' apartments
on Queen Street at the south end of the
village to Robbie Lawrie, a Blyth
businessman and developer. Mr. Lawrie
will construct the eight -unit building on the
site.
Bill Howson, Blyth Councillor, said con-
struction is expected to begin soon on the
project.
The land in question was expropriated
Several veare pan by the village from the
Gordon Estate with the thinking being that
it would be used for future expansion of the
Queen's Village project. Mr. Howson said
council was concerned about the number of
seniors who were inoving from Blyth to
other municipalities because of the lack of
apartments to.rent.
The apartment building joins a number of
houses3tthat have already been announced
for construction this spring.
Festival staff increases as summer nears
BLYTH - Did you know that over the fall
and winter months the Blyth Festival is run
by a skeleton staff? Only two full time peo-
ple keep the whole organization. running:
Artistic Director Katherine Kaszas and
General Manager Tim Chapman. They are
helped by two part-time secretaries, Gloria
Westerhout of Summerhill and Karen
Stewart of Blyth. But starting in January of
each year, the staff gradually increases un-
til by summer there is a. full complement of
-administrative and box office personnel.
Philippa Borgal✓( formerly a Blyth resi-
dent but currently living year round at Lake
Huron) has returned for her fourth season
as publicity director. She is busy working to
get the brochure and poster out on time, ar-
range advertising for the season, and.renew
media eontacts across the province.
A new face in the administration n9tfire is
Stephanie Massel of Kitchener. She is in her
final year of the arts administration pro-
gram at the University of Waterloo, the four
months with the Blyth Festival being her
final work placement. Bernice Passchier of
Blyth is also studying in Kitchener, .at Sir
Wilfrid Laurier University. She will be
returning this summer as House Manager
for the Blyth Festival. It is the housc
manager's job to remain cool, calm and col-
lected when all those around her_are losing
their tickets, or arriving late.
Box Office Manager, Jennifer Hill
(Goderich) is getting ready for the summer
too: staff have to be hired, theatre tickets
ordered (over 45,000 of them), and
numerous other tasks completed before
tickets go on sale starting March 30. This is
Jennifer's fifth season with the Festival.
Also returning to the box office this summer
will be Louise McGregor ( Clinton) and Sally
Leitch (Bayfield). It is hoped that the re-
mainder of the box office staff will be hired
under government ( federal and provincial)
job development programs.
Last season several staff members were
hired under special government programs.
Tim Chapman hopes that the Festival will
be able to take advantage of similar pro-
grams this summer. For example, last year
a joint application was made by the Village
of Blyth and the Blyth Festival for co-
ordinators for the children's workshop pro-
gram. This joint venture will be repeated
this year through Experience '87. The
Festival also uses. the services of local
students during the summer months, and
for the fall/spring concerts, as ushers.
