(photo/PatBolen) Romance at the Blyth Festival BLYTH — When it comes to romance there are three approaches. Fall in love at first sight, flat out pursuit, and good old fashioned romantic courtship. This summer at the Blyth Festival, the women on stage have their heart- strings pulled by men that have marriage and romance in mind — or so they say. In her most outrageous role ever, Janet Amos por- trays Giselle, a 50 -some- thing widow who falls instantly in love with a hot young lover and tries to hide the romance from her own adult off -spring. The sizzling summer romance 'Heat Wave' by Michel Marc Bouchard is sure to ignite the audi- ence. And her widowed next door neighbour (played by the much -loved Jerry Franken) who has always held a soft spot for Giselle, finds romance with a woman who knows just what she wants and is going to get it. In the meantime, on the set of `Salt -Water Moon,' the lovely Mary Snow is all set to marry Jerome, the most eligible bachelor in town, when up the road walks the passionate, rough hewn Jacob who is determined to win Mary back, the old fashioned way. The only challenge is that he broke her heart a year earlier when he left for Toronto without even saying goodbye. `Salt -Water Moon' by David French is a Canadian classic that won the 1985 Canadian Authors Association Literary Award. Starring Charlotte Gowdy and Darren Keay, it plays at the Blyth Festival from July 14 to Aug. 21. 'Heat Wave' is playing at the Blyth Festival from July 7 to Aug. 20. Tickets for both shows range from $17 to $29.50.

P Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello There is some evidence that supplementing with three B -vitamins can lessen the chance of adverse effects occurring when a person undergoes angioplasty la procedure done to widen arteries to increase blood flowl. The vitamins are folic acid 11 mgl, vitamin B-1210.4 mg) and vitamin B-6110 mgl. The vitamin combination is to be taken daily for at least six months after the angioplasty. With all the great general anesthetics we have for surgery today, it's hard to believe that at one time, there was only alcohol and opium to get the patient through the surgery. In 1846 and 1847, ether and chloroform were introduced and greatly improved surgical outcomes for patients. When buying calcium supplements, read the labels carefully. Some labels read "contains 1250 mg of calcium carbonate". What that means is 500 mg of actual calcium. Different types of calcium products have different amounts of calcium per dose. For example calcium gluconate 650 mg actually contains only 65 mg per tablet. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and is excreted from the body in about 12 hours. It's better to take vitamin C doses twice daily for more consistent blood levels. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
