"Dinsly, The Soap Not the
Street" concluded last weekend .at
Blyth, featuring more twiststhan a
year of "Dallas" and "Dynasty"
combined.
Parts three and four of the soap
opera were presented Friday and
Saturday by the Blyth Young
Company. Friday's presentation of
"The Take Over" was directed by
Peter Smith, while Saturday's "The
Trial" was directed by Hilary
Blackmore, both main stage actors
at Blyth.
The action picks up at the Wheeler
residence, where worm scion Moby
learns he has been duped into
marrying the evil Cathy, rather than
her sweet identical twin Kathy.
Cathy has, married Moby to take
possession of his considerable land
holdings for "The Corporation",
which has plans to turn the small
town of Dinsley into the, mineral
water capital of the country.
Cathy gets the help of the
foundling Winona, who tricks her
guardians, Earl and Minerva Grey,
into deeding their artists' colony to
the evil twin.
It seems that things finally are
going Cathy's way when she is..shot
by an unknown assailant at the end
of episode three. ,
"The Trial" begins with Cathy
dead on the floor and her twin sister
Kathy holding the smoking gun.
Kathy is hauled off to jail and
charged with her Sister's, murder.
This is where things really start to
get complicated....._ _._ .._ ......
Spencer Day, the noted
anthropologist, brains surgeon and
saldier of fOriOne turned lawyer,
has become a woman as he has been
denied his love for Kathy. Spencer
agrees to defend Kathy and calls a
surprise WitnetP,. Rev Mother of the
LittleStsters of the Wood,
The reverend mother reveals that
Winona really is Cathy's .._.and.
Spencer Day's daughter and'+was left
to be raised by wolves.
The next scene shows Cathy (who
had faked her own death by shooting
her twin) and Jonas Culver, the
dowser, drinking Dinsley, mineral
water. However, they fall dead to
the floor, poisoned by Winona, who
had thought she was getting revenge
for her mother's death.
In the end, Winona ends up
inheriting all her mother's property
as sole heir, which means she owns
much of Dinsley.
The final two episodes of "Dinsley,
The Soap Not the Street" were as
wacky as playwright Colleen Curran I
had promised. The young actors,
including Becky Penn and Christa
Crawford as the twins, Ian 'Morton
as Moby 'Wheeler and Jonas Culver
and Rachel Thompson as Winona,
were superb.
In spite of the staggering high
temperatures and working mainly in
black costumes, the Young
Company actors proved themselves
to be real "troopers", putting on a
grand finale to this zany soap opera.
Sgpporting performances were '
given by Sarah and Kris Chandler,
Jake Chalmers, Chris Walker,
Joanne Olson, Stephanie Lentz, Lee-
ann Wammes,.._Holly Horton, Sadie....
Hood, Alison Dunn and Severn
Thompson.

Fish habitat in the Wingham
distriet is being improved this year
through two programs - one
volunteer and the other funded with
money from fishing licence fees.
Ken Maronets, a conservation
officer at the Wingham office of the
Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources, is pleased andexcited
about efforts being undertaken this
year to improve several area
creeks, as well as a major project at
a drain near Blyth.
Sport fishermen always have been
interested in seeing fish species
thrive, says Mr. Maronets.
However, over the years they have
learned that just raising the fry and
releasing them from incubation
boxes into streams is senseless if
those streams cannot sustain the
fish.
The creeks themselves had. to ' be
enhanced, whether by adding rock to
improve flow or by installing
deflectors and riprap to restore

stream banks. This is the role of the
ministry's Community Fisheries
Involvement Program.
Early last month, a group of
members of the Maitland Valley
Ariglers club moved nine loads of
rock (68 tens) into the Belgrave
Creek in one gruelling day, says Mr.
Maronets. A total of 22 volunteers
spent four hours getting the material
into the stream.
More recently, MVA members
worked at the Hunking Drain near
Blyth, deepening the drain to make
it actually self-cleaning. In addition
to being physically draining, Mr.
Maronets notes, they worked
through the worst tainstorin of the
He sees these sport fisherman as
being very forward thinking in their
approach to stream rehabilitation.
And for those who may have had
doubts that the stream held any fish
life, minis ry personnel put on an
"electron rick" demonstration
before- the ork begins, says Mr.
Maronets./
Through the use of an electric
prod, the fish are "shocked" and
momentarily stunned, floating to the
top of the water before the effects of
the shock wear off and they swim
away.
Other fishing club chapters are
"very keen", says Mr. Maronets.
The ministry will consider any
project to increase the quantity and
quality of fish by: planting
vegetation, installing deflectors and
riprap to restore stream banks;
building fences to protect stream
banks from grazing cattle; con-
structing, operating and main-
taining incubation boxes; adding
gravel to a lake, river or stream to
create spawning beds and operating
small, officially approved hat-
cheries.
Other criteria specify the project
must fit into the ministry's fisheries
management strategy, all labor
must be voluntary and the project
must be of public, rather than
private, benefit.
STREAM REHABILITATION
In addition to CFIP, the ministry,
in cooperation with the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority, has
stream rehabilitation crews working
this summer and funded by fishing
licence revenue.
These crews do much the same
work as the CFIP volunteers, in-
cluding placing rock and gravel in
stream beds for water flow im-
provement and fish cover.
This has been a hard year for the
local fish population, says Mr.
Maronets, due to the dry conditions.
However, he is hoping it will not
have too great an impact, especially
with the stream rehabilitation ef-
forts.
He plans to analyze the diaries
ompiled this summer by a number
f volunteer fishermen across the
rea. Hopefully, he says, these
iaries and surveys - with in-
formation about fish catches and
ater temperature - will provide
valuable information to guide future
inistry projects.
