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.

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 BRUSSELS STOCKYARDS REPORT Choice steers and heifers traded steady at Brussels Stockyard, with cows trading $1 to $2 higher.

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. e
