Meeting approves drive to build new arena for Blyth. community A unanimous vote of the approximately 70 persons at the special arena meeting last Wednesday called for immediate work to demolish the present arena and start building a new one. The meeting, chaired by Blyth Reeve, Robbie Lawrie saw relatively few objec- tions or critical questions. Len Roonie of Blyth asked just what was the fault in the arena that led to it's condemnation and was told it was too weak for present snow load and wind load standard: How, he wondered, did it withstand a recent 60 -mile -per -hour gale last week. Another question wondered what guar- antee that if a new arena was built the government wouldn't change its standards in a few years. Blyth, he said, couldn't afford to build such an expensive building every year and find it too weak too. Reeve Lawrie said there was just no such 26 years guarantee. Reeve Lawrie and other village officials explained that there seems to be only two alternatives: to build a new arena or to do without. Renovation of the existing Teeswater salvages $15,500 from old arena An auction sale of material salvaged from the old Teeswater arena was held on Saturday and raised some $15,500 toward construction of a new arena and community centre in that arena. The arena was dentolishecl using 1500 =hours of volunteer labour. .A profes- sional demolition crew had asked $5,000 to dp the job. Teeswater has now raised over $100.000 toward the cost of the new building not counting government grants that will cover about three-quartes of the $464,000 price for the new centre. 1976 Summer Festival opens Saturday The 1976 Blyth Summer Festival opens at Memorial Hall on Saturday evening for an expanded season. Following the success of the initial season last year, the Festival this year has been stretched to six weeks- rather than four. Four main stage productions will be presented as opposed to the two of last year, The opening night will h see a turkey supper served to 150 persons at 6 p.m. before the opening performance of The , Blood is Strong at 8:30 p.m. The dinner is gpen to anyone who wishes to purchase a ticket, but tickets are going fast. Tickets are also going fast for the opening night performance, but at press time some were still available at the box office in Memorial Hall. Last year saw a near sell-out on opening night. Besides, The Blood is Strong, the other plays include Alice Munro's humourous "Pat Stackhouse, Ted Elliott take Canadian dance championships Two local stepdancers came away with u championships at the Canadian Step Dancing Competition at Dundalk on ;:~tuday. Pat Stackhouse of Londcsboro won the Canadian Open Ladies Championship in the competition. Ted Elliott, RR 2, Blyth , who is often her partner •won the boys under 15 competition. Anne Marie McQuade, also familiar to local dancing fans, was third in the girls under 15 class. In the group stepping competition, Pat Stackhouse, Anne Marie McQuade and Kim Craig teamed up to place third, • story of a young Western Ontario love affair called How 1 Met My Husband, which opens Tuesday night, July 6; Shape, a play written especially for the Summer Festival by Jim Schaeffer of the Festival staff; and the return of Mostly in Clover, the adaptation of Harry J. Boyle's books on growing up in Huron County. The latter returns this year for a limited .run of four performances and ticket demand has been high so those' wishing tickets should reserve soon. The play will tour after the closing of the Blyth Festival for a week in Petrolia in the Opera House there. Interest in this year's festival has been snowballing. Reviewers from several large daily newspapers are expected to attend the performances. Several complimentary stories have already appeared in Toronto newspapers and both _London and Wingham television stations have, featured filmed stories on the Festival. Inuiries for tickets have come from such diverse places as Minnesota and New York State. 'Three of the four authors are expected to be in Blyth this year to see their shows performed. Jim Schaeffer, of course, is part of the cast of the Festival. Alice Munro is a resident of Clinton and. will attend. There seems a good chance that Harry J. Boyle will be able to make it to Blyth this year to sec Mostly in Clover. Last year he was recovering from surgery and was unable to attend. Lister Sinclair, author of The Blood is Strong has not replied as yet to this ' invitation. structure to bring it up to present standards, they felt, would be foolhardy. The example of the renovations in Hensel' and Seaforth was brougN up where additional work is having to be done at present even though the buildings were renovated in the past two years. Authorities were more apt to find things wrong with a renovated old building than with a new one, it was pointc'.l out, Reeve Lawrie said it was hard to get real estimates of cost at this stage but that he had spoke to the firm of Bach and MacDougall that afternoon to try to get some estimate. The firm estimated the cost of a building including a 60 foot by 120 foot auditorium to be about $350•$400,000. The building in question would be slightly larger than the present building measuring 100 feet by 210 compared to 85 by 192. It would lie built over the present ice surface: Fred Howson spoke saying he felt the estimate for the additional cost of including an auditorium seemed very low at today's building costs. It was explained that the auditorium would. not be a major expense since it would' be 'build on top of ;the' dressing reonis.' Comp given costs were by Larry Walsh who said the new Teeswater arena and community centre would cost $464,000 and George Hubbard, chairman of the Blyth Recreation Committee who said the village of Plattsville is erected a shell over its old arena at a cost of $245-250,000. Councillor Helen Gowing asked just how badly needed a community centre auditorium was. Representatives of women's groups said the auditorium was badly needed because the lower hall at Memorial Hall is busy nearly all the time. (During the winter there are card games on Monday night, meetings nearly every Thursday night, dances most Friday nights and bingos every Saturday night). Trying to get the hall for a banquet, they said, was nearly impossible. Others complained that the Memorial Hall basement is too small for really good bands because too few people can be included to offset the costs of the band. John Jewitt, reeve of Hullett township was present at the meeting and said he felt the people of his township used the Blyth arena a lot and that if there was fund raising to be done, residents would chip in to do their pant, just as they had recently in raising money for Seaforth arena. Hullett residents would likely do better for Blyth, he said, since they use Blyth arena .more than Seaforth. He said he felt an arena is a necessary part of the community. Councillor Robert Charters represented East Wawanosh township and said that with his council about to study the report on the Belgrave arena, he could not commit the township to too much. A new arena shouldn't be needed in Belgrave, he said, but it was too early to tell. The urgency, of getting started on plans for a new arena was stressed by Mrs. Sybil McDougall who pointed out that next year is Centennial year in Blyth, "if we don't have an arena, we don't have a centennial as far as I'm concerned," she said. Bill Riehl stated that his executive hadn't met on the situation yet but he felt confident in saying the Blyth Legion would be behind the project' 100 per cent. After considerable discussion Reeve Lawrie called for a vote on whether or not to form a committee to look aftet demolishing the old building and building a new one. The vote was unanimous an the affirmative. Several women in the audience volunteered to serve on such a committee. No men did. Council was scheduled tc appoint more members to the committee thts week. PG. 2.

Young show the way The question being asked all over the Blyth community these days is "Where is all the money going to come from?" The question is asked, of course because Blyth residents decided last week to go ahead and plan construction of a new arena. Many people seem to doubt that Blyth has the ability to carry out the massive fundraising that needs to be done to build a new arena. It means that somewhere between 100,000 and S200,000 must be raised in the Blyth community. It's a tremendous goal. But other communities have proved it can be done, in Teeswater, for instance, the goal is getting closer and closer to being achieved, Teeswater isn't much bigger than Blyth. While the doubters have been talking, the young people of the community have been showing the way. The Blyth Leo Club on the weekend took part in a 25 -mile bike -a -thou that raised over $1800 in pledges toward the new arena. Considering the fact the fundraising hasn't officially begun, that's a pretty good start. The goal can be reached. it has to be. If we are as strong a community as we profess to bc, it will be. But it means that everyone must pitch in, not only with donations when the time comes but by finding ways to raise money as the Leo Club did -Saturday. It's always nicer to have fun while raising money than to have a dig deep in a pocket for the money. Let's use our imagination and work together and make this project a positive factor in the community to show that we have the same spunk in 1976-77 that the pioneers of the community had in 1876-77. Their odds, after all, were a lot longer than ours. More brawn than brain w Some how, however accidentally. Canadians may have contributed the most perfect game to the world in the sport of hockey. It combines physical skill and intelligence, speed and grace, The problem is that having invented it, Canadians seem out now to destroy it. In recent years, physical side of the sport has been overemphasized while the intelligence has been set aside. The current trial of Detroit Red WingDan Maloney brings the current situation into the spotlight. What we sec arc players and team officials who not only have well -muscled bodies, but heads that are full of muscles as well. Take for instance the statement of Punch Imlach of the Buffalo Sabres that people outside hockey might call the Maloney attack on Brian Glennie of the Toronto Maple Leafs "violence" but hockey people call it "action". Glennie himself said he held no hard feelings toward Maloney even though he suffered a concussion and possibly permanent minor brain damage. He expects anything to happen when he's on the ice, he said. One after another the apologists for violence state their case and leave those who watched the actual event on television wondering if all the talk is about another case altogether. While the hockey people make it seem like something that happened every day, those who saw the attack and reviewed it time and time again on replays recall it as one of the most vicious and unprovoked encounters they can ever remember in hockey. If such an event occurred outside the hockey rink it would result in a lengthy jail term, provided the evidence was strong enough. Here the argument is not whether or not it took place, or of the damage that resulted, but whether or not hockey players should live under the same rules as society. The wooden heads of hockey still refuse to admit there is any problem. They insist they should not be governed by the laws of the land yet they refuse to clean up their own house. In doing so they plant a sick seed in Canadian society. One can only hope that the court will decide they have a place in sport so that perhaps the Neanderthals that govern sport will be forced to do something to make hockey again the great sport it is, not roller derby on ice. Safety's not whole issue Despite the pious claims about worrying about "safety" the strike last week of air line pilots and air traffic control officers goes much beyond a matter of safety. Safety is such a "sacred cow" of a word. In the name of safety Bette Stephenson is conducting her war on small town arenas. Many of the rulings are crazy but who can argue about safety. It's like arguing about motherhood. The air men apparently have taken a page from Ms. Stephenson's book in the current dispute. They claim the introduction of hi -lingual communication in air-traffic control in Quebec is a safety hazard. Some keen observers of the scene, however, say there's much more and its much more dangerous to the country, Some columnists, for instance, said that bigotry was involved long before Prime Minister Trudcau made his speech last week that brought him so much adverse reaction. The pilots and controllers are fighting the same fears right now that other civil servants fought a few years ago: the fear of losing security because of new regulations given precedence to those who arc bilingual. 1 he civil servants, however, didn't have the convenient "safety" argument to draw then support. The fact remains that despite the pilot's propaganda several countries in theworldalready use bilingual, I, air communications. It can perhaps be expected that airline pilots can learn to use English even though their native tongue is something else but private pilots can't be expected to learn English just to be able to fly an aircraft and if they can speak only one language then they must be able to communicate with a controller in their own language. If safety is really endangered, why do Quebec pilots and air controllers fight so hard for bilingual service? Arc we inferring that they would risk the lives of thousands of people just so they can speak their own language? That is a horrible accusation to make about people dedicated to their jobs. No the safety argument is mostly window-dressing and it allows English Canadians who have resented the bilingual program anyway to fight this battle without appearing to be bigoted. But let's call a spade 3 spade and a bigot a bigot. Surely we can grow up enough in this •ountry to deal with th" truth, not fiction. BY BILL SMILEY I'm trying to figure out some way to go and see my son in Par,aguay this summer. Maybe my faithful readers can help. There's nothing whatever to stop me from just buying a plane ticket and going. Nothing what- ever except that I can't afford it. There's a pile of miles between here and there, And the way my wife's been throwing money around • lately -- new carpeting, new wallpaer, new sewing machine -- we'll be lucky if we get through the summer with enough left over to pay. admission to the Fall Fair.

The opening feature of the third 1976 general meeting of the U.C.W. held on the evening of June 14 was a skit on Stewardship written by Ethel Child, formerly of Alma College, and presented in an interesting manner by Molly Grant, Annie Blair, Fern McDowell, Grace Easom and Evelyn Smith. In a well organized talk on Stewardship, Mary Campbell pointed out Bible truths on this subject and priorities in commit- ments by U.C.W. members. They were reminded that the - more God gives to us the more there is required of us, that man does not live by bread alone, and through her readin of the poem, How Much Lord is Enough? They began to think seriously on Stewardship. President Mary Wightman presided for the business. Genu- ine concern and an eager desire to help the fire victims whose home was destroyed by fire earlier in the day were expressed. It was decided to make contributions jointly with Blyth service clubs. As a friendly gesture the ladies are catering on June 23 to the C.G.I.T. daughter and mother dinner at 51.00 a plate. Arrangements were outlined to help, later in the season, the Leprosy Mission of Canada, and to sell the latest McMillan record, ' the proceeds from which will help support the Witmcrs of Goderich in their missionary work in Japan.

Young show the way The question being asked all over the Blyth community these days is "Where is all the money going to come from?" The question is asked, of course because Blyth residents decided last week to go ahead and plan construction of a new arena, Many people seem to doubt that Blyth has the ability to carry out the massive fundraising that needs to be done to build a new arena, It means that somewhere between 100,000 and $200,000 must be raised in the Blyth community, it's a tremendous goal. But other communities have proved it can be done. In Teeswater, for instance, the goal is getting closer and closer to being achieved, Teeswater isn't much bigger than Blyth. While the doubters have been talking, the young people of the community have been showing the way. The Blyth Leo Club on the weekend took part in a 25 -mile bike-a-thon that raised over $1800 in pledges toward the new arena. Considering the fact the fundraising hasn't officially begun, that's a pretty good start. The goal can be reached. It has to be. If we are as strong a community as we profess to be, it will be. But it means that everyone must pitch in, not only with donations when the time comes but by finding ways to raise money as the Leo Club did Saturday. It's always nicer to have fun while raising money than to have a dig deep in a pocket for the money. Let's use our imagination and work together and make this project a positive factor in the community to' show that we have the same spunk in 1976-77 that the pioneers of the community had in 1876.77. Their odds, after all, were a lot longer than ours. More brawn than brain s Some how, however accidentally, Canadians may have contributed the most perfect game to the ti'orld in the sport of hockey, It combines physical skill and intelligence, speed and grace. The problem is that having invented it, Canadians seem out now to destroy it. In recent years, physical side of the sport has been overemphasized while the intelligence has been set aside. The current trial of Detroit Red Wing'Dan Maloney brings the current situation into the spotlight. What we sec arc players and team officials who not only have well -muscled bodies, but heads that are full of muscles as well. Take for instance the statement of Punch Imlach of the Buffalo Sabres that people outside hockey might call the Maloney attack on Brian Glennic of the Toronto Maple Leafs "violence" but hockey people call it "action". Glennic himself said he held no hard feelings toward Maloney even though he suffered a concussion and possibly permanent minor brain damage. He expects anything to happen when he's on the ice, he said. One after another the apologists for violence state their case and leave those who watched the actual event on television wondering if all the talk is about another case altogether. While the hockey people make it seem like something that happened every day, those who saw the attack and reviewed it time and time again on replays recall it as one of the most vicious and unprovoked encounters they can ever remember in hockey. If such an event occurred outside the hockey rink it would result in a lengthy jail term, provided the evidence was strong enough. Here the argument is not whether or not it took place, or of the damage that resulted, but whether or not hockey players should live under the same rules as society. The wooden heads of hockey still refuse to admit there is any problem. They insist they should not be governed by the laws of the land yet they refuse to clean up their own house. In doing so they plant a sick seed in Canadian society. One can only hope that the court will decide they have a place in sport so that perhaps the Neanderthals that govern sport will be forced to do something to make hockey again the great sport it is, not roller derby on ice, Safety's not whole issue Despite the pious claims about worrying about "safety" the strike last week of air line pilots and air traffic control officers goes much beyond a matter of safety. Safety is such a "sacred cow" of a word. In the name of safety Bette Stephenson is conducting her war on small town arenas. Many of the rulings arc crazy but who can argue about safety. it's like arguing about motherhood. The air men apparently have taken a page from Ms. Stephenson's book in the current dispute. They claim the introduction of bi-lingual communication in air-traffic control in Quebec is a safety hazard. Some keen observers of the scene, however, say there's much more and its much more dangerous to the country. Some columnists, for instance, said that bigotry was involved long before Prince Minister Trudeau made his speech last week that brought him so much adverse reaction. The pilots and controllers arc fighting the same fears right now that other civil servants fought a few years ago: the fear of losing security because of new regulations given precedence to those who are bilingual. 1 he civil servants, however, didn't have the convenient "safety" argument to draw them support. The fact remains that despite the pilot's propaganda several o c untrics in the world alreadyuse bilingual, air communications. It g can perhaps be expected that airline pilots can learn to use English even though their native tongue is something else but private pilots can't be expected to learn English just to be able to fly an aircraft and if they can speak only one language then they must be able to communicate with a controller in their own language. If safety is really endangered, why do Quebec pilots and air controllers fight so hard for bilingual service? Are we inferring that they would risk the lives of thousands of people just so they can speak their own language? That is a horrible accusation to make about people dedicated to their jobs. No the safety argument is mostly window-dressing and it allows English Canadians who have resented the bilingual program anyway to fight this battle without appearing to be bigoted. But let's call a spade spade and a bigot a bigot. Surely we can grow up enough in this 'ountry to deal with thn truth, not fiction. BY BILL SMILEY I'm trying to figure out some way to go and see my son in Paraguay this summer. Maybe my faithful readers can help. There's nothing whatever to stop me from just buying a plane ticket and going. Nothing what- ever except that I can't afford it. There's a pile of miles between here and there. And the way my wife's been throwing money around -lately -- new carpeting, new wallpaer, new sewing machine -- we'll be lucky if we get through the summer with enough left over to pay, admission to the Fall Fair.

JAMES ROY Steve Thorne is still acting and directing but writing's his love It was a quiet winter for actor•director•writer Steve Thorne at least as far as professional activities were con- cerned. It could have been, anything but quiet otherwise, however, if he's arranged his schedule a few days differently. Steve took the winter off to travel after writing and directing at last year's Festival. He went to Vancouver in the fall, then went to San Francisco, Arizona and Mexico. He was then to be off the Guatemala but just before he left word came of the tragic earth quake that wrecked that country. He didn't go but there were some anxious moments for friends who knew he was headed there before word arrived in Canada that he was safe. Next winter, Steve is looking forward to a much quieter time. He's going to get what he always wanted this coming year: his chance to be a commissioned writer. He received a play- wright's grant from the Ontario Arts Council recently to write a play for next year's- Festival ,.on the settlement of Huron county. The play will likely focus on Tiger Dunlop. "1'm trying to steer myself in the direction of writing," he sayd. "You can be your own master mora in 'writing. An actor or director is encumbered by sche- dules, usually, not of his own making. There's a certain kind of freedom to writing." There's also a certain kind of pressure, he points out because a writer must discipline himself to write. "It makes greater demands on yourself, he says. Steve will likely stay in Blyth after the season ends this year so he can work on his play. He'll also try to find some other kind of employment for the winter. Meanwhile there's a busy season ahead at the 1976 Festival. Steve will act for the first time in a Festival production in How I Met My Husband. He will also co -direct with James Roy the opening production of The Blood is Strong. A part-time job full-time for Artistic Director' When does a part-time job become a full-time job? When you're artisitic director of the Blyth Summer Festival, James Roy found that out last year. In the winter of 1974-75, he'd never even thought of the Blyth Summer Festival. The winter of 1975-76 was spent almost continuously thinking about it, The reason is simple: the winter a year ago was before the first plans were made to start the Festival. This past winter has been spent making plans to make this a season more successful again than last year's, That meant time was spent on little else than planning. He did direct one show for Theatre Passe Muraiile and hold down a job for a few months, but most of the time the bread was kept on the table, by wife Ann while James made arrangements for this year. The arrangements included not only planning the plays for the coming season, but spending hundreds of hours fund raising; drafting briefs for applications for grants from Wintario for the new lighting equipment at Memorial Hall and getting things rolling on the Local Initiatives Project that renovated Memorial Hall. Despite the fact that the job has become almost full-time, James still only gets paid for the summer weeks when he is on the job. This coming winter (if he manages to make it through Kirk Mitchell holds a double role with the Festival this season. During the first part of the season he will act as business administrator and later will act in Shape. He's had wide training In acting, dancing, and singing as well In theatre administration. STEVE THORNE another exhausting summer season) will see some changes however. He'll be leaving in early September for England where he will be a combination apprentice director, associate director at The Duke's Playhouse in Lancaster, The trip, he said, will give him a chance to look at a different situation, to give a change of view, He already knows the theatre scene in Ontario and Canada pretty well, ,he said, and wants to sec how others do things. He doesn't however, expect to return drastically changed in his views by English theatre and feels the English may even have something to learn from his Canadian experiences, Meanwhile there's still the 1976 season to get through and it's a tough schedule that he has set for himself. The big headache will be getting through the opening of The Blood is Strong and How 1 Met My Husband, both of which he is directing. After that things will calm down only slightly as he goes on to direct the return of Mostly in Clover, The fourth play of the season Shape will be directed by Fred Thury. Not only is the burden of directing three plays in six weeks heavy but it is made more arduous by the decision to go with relatively new material, that is experimental in many ways, The Blood is Strong is a proven play, but at Blyth it will be a musical. How I Met My Husband had to be adapted from a television script which meant it had to be restaged to take place in one location and lengthened from the original abbreviated version. Clover too will have some changes, mostly the addition of new music. Theie's also the pressure of taking Clover on tour after the Blyth season finishes. The 10 weeks at Blyth are anything but restful. The BOX 99 ld 111111 • BLMTN, ONTARIO 1 Mile South of Blyth .

PG. 9. Brendon McKaneJent.a long way to get to .the stage BRENDAN McKANE Angie has good memories of Festival July 9, 1975 is a night that will live in the memory of Angie Gei for a long time to come. "It was a great moment" she recalls about the opening night -of the first Blyth Summer Festival. "I hope that memory stays with me for a long time." 1t was a hot, hot night. The rededication of Memorial Hall took place before the opening with many civic dignataries present and for the nervous actors, they seemed to go on forever. It was the opening night of the season in a new theatre venture and with the world premiere of a play. Most of the actors were young and the tension was tremendous. But once the play began, everything went smoothly and well. The play ended with a standing ovation from the nearly - full house and a reception afterward brought compliment after compliment. The rest of the summer brought more of the same. For a young actress in one of her first professional appearances, it was a great way to start. Angie is back this year not only to recreate her role in Mostly in Clover, but to take parts in other productions as well. Over the ANGIE GE1 winter she worked with Sun Wheel Story Theatre, a fine children's theatre company in the Toronto arca. The troup toured the schools during the week and every Saturday worked in ,a theatre. They worked in clown make-up and used a story -book style. It was quite an experience as the actors carried their own sets and props. After ` the = hard physical work of the winter, the Blyth season at first seemed pretty slack with only acting to be done. She could have stayed with the children's theatre through next May she said, but wanted to conte back to Blyth. She wanted some new experiences. Besides, she says, she's too young for security. She . plays the part of Mrs. Reading the native neighbour lady in The Blood is Strong and the part of another neighbour, Loretta Bird in How 1 Met My Husband. The latter, is, as actors call it, a good stretch for her. "She's older than me and very different than me," she says of the character. Angie sees her as a very bitter woman. The part is a stretch in another way. The play is adapted from a television play and had to be lengthened for the stage. Loretta was originally a small part but has been expanded into a fascinating character. Those who got to know Angie last year, especially off stage know that the role of a bitter woman really is a "stretch" since she is one of the warmest people one could meet. The part will be a challenge to her ample ability. Brendan McKane has been around over the years, and not just in the theatre. A native of Victoria Brendan quit school after grade nine with the Irish Christian Brothers school there and a couple of years later worked his passage on a merchant ship to Australia. He'd decided about age 12 what he wanted to do, to act, but it wasn't until he'd travelled a lot that he settled down to his career, if acting can be called settling down. He studied at the Bastion Theatre, Victoria under Peter Mannering, the founding director of that theatre. He spent three years there doing school tours and children's shows (the financial backbone of many theatre companies) and a couple of main stage shows each veal.. JOE MILLER Making music several ways Music is Joe Miller's life in many ways. Joe is one of the musicians at the Summer Festival this season. He'll play in the orchestra for The Blood is Strong and Shape and be musical director for the revival of Mostly in Clover. He plays music he writes music and even his hobby is music: in his spare time, he builds guitars. He's built threeguitars now learning his art mostly from books. Each guitar takes him about two years to make. He grew up in• various cities across the U.S. before corning to Canada, He joined a folk music group at 14 and later played in coffee houses as a single act. He's acted in theatre in high school and played in the orchestra as well. In university he gave up acting but did music for shows and became more involved in theatre music. He studied at York University and took a special music class at Berkley California in 1974. It brought about a strange coincidence. Both he and. Shelley Cooper -Smith who is also at Blyth this year had studied at York but didn't know each other except in passing. But both ended up at Berkley together, he recognized Shelley by her music case, After Berkley the two didn't see each other again until both ended up coincidentally in Blyth. Joe plays the guitar, mandolin and sitar. Now he is working out of Toronto. He took part in the tour of the show Cyclone Jack for Young People's Theatre and the show was filmed by C.B.C. Most recently he was in Thunder Bay for two shows this winter: The Hostage by Brendan Behan and Stop the World 1 want To Get Off by Anthony Newley. In the same cast there was Sharon Noble who now plays opposite him in Blyth. His aim, he says, is to be a classical actor, not in terms of performing in classical works, but in the classical style of theatres like the Festival. In the past 15 years, he says, musicals and the "new" theatre have held the focus in North America, The American tradition is improvisa- tional while the British tradition is classical theatre, going right to the repretory theatres in nearly every small town in Britain. Canada, he says, is just begin- ning to for "rep" companies and the Festival is a good example of this movement. The Festival is not the first time he has worked on more than one play at a time (he was once involved in acting or stage- managing in three plays at once) but this is the first time he has worked in a repertory company, one where several play: are presented on alternative nights.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, JUNE 30, 1976. SHARON NOBLE Acting was all Sharon Noble ever wanted to do Some people choose a career. For Sharon Noble there was no real choice about becoming an actress. It's all she ever wanted to do. She's wanted to act since she could remember, she says. When she was in a ballet class as a child in the U.S. her teacher thought she had acting ability and she was on her way to what was not only a career but a love affair. "Why do I act?," she says, "because I absolutely love it. It 's why 1 get out of bed in the morning. When I'm not working I become very hard to live with." She had her first Actor's Equity (actors union) contract when she was 15. She received her BA and M.A. in Theatre Arts from the University of Colorado. Since then she's had wide experience on stage, television and radio across the U.S. and Canada. Presently she's based in Winnipeg where her husband Dennis and family live. Acting is her love and her addiction, she says, but it also plays havoc with family life. During March and April she illustrates, she was on an airplane about 10 times. She was involved xx xxxx, 1�.

If she's going to be away from home for only a month or so, she tries to get back to her family for a weekend here and there. If it's to be longer, she usually packs the family off with her. Dennis and one of their three daughters, for instance, moved to Blyth for the summer where Dennis, a writer, is busy completing scripts for a series of shows for C.B.C. television which he will also direct in August. The other children, who are not particularly interested in theatre, stay with relatives. Sharon likes to move back and forth from acting for television and on stage to remain flexible. People who do only stage work, she says, tend to be too emphatic while working only in television all the time is so easy it can make an actor lazy, in a ,geared -down rut. She's been able to keep busy in both fields. She recently completed a show for' C.B.C. television called The Larsens with Jane Hallett and George Waight.

JANICE IRVING Production crew In professional theatre, the play is the thing and seldom are there any distractions to keep the audience from enjoying the play. Things like sagging sets, missing props and lights that don't light just aren't supposed to happen when a professional theatre is working. . And these things,don't often happen because of a hard work and craftsmenship of the techni- cal crew and the stage managers who go completely unseen. They are the miracle workers and in the early years of the Blyth Summer Festival their miracles are bigger than in most theatres. Ron Ferguson is the veteran of the backstage brigade at Blyth. Last year Ron virtually was the backstage crew. He was technical director and set designer, electrician and lighting board operator. He was even manufac- turer of the lighting control panel. Since there was no panel in Memorial Hall and since the tiny budget of the 1975 Festival didn't allow for such "extravagances", Ron built a panel using household dimmer switches. Every night he would sweat away up in the balcony of the theatre not only because of the horrible heat of the 1975 summer, but because he never knew just what might happen with the makeshift equipment. The fact that . few playgoers -knew how bad things works the were technically, tells the story of how well he performed his job. Over the winter Ron had a relatively simple job after his Blyth headaches when he acted as assistant stage manager at the opera department of the Univers- ity of Toronto. He came back to Blyth this year as stage manager of the Festival, a job that would normally meanleaving his tech- nical headaches behind, yet here he was, one week before opening night, dusting insulation off his pants after having spent several hours in the attic of Memorial Hall laying cable for the lighting system. He remains a jack of all trades. When he isn't helping out on the technical crew, however, he returns to his regular duties as stage manager. There his job is more as a co-ordinator of activities that go on on stage. He has to communicate between the director and the technical crew, to bring everything together so that by performance time, all the sets are built, the stage props are on hand, the lighting is ready and oh yes... the actors show up for the right performance and at the right time. Ron and assistant stage manager Michael Langford share the duties of keeping things running smoothly. They have to schedule rehearsals so that the right people are there at the right time and at the same time, keep MICHAEL LANGFORD RON FERGUSON BJARNE CHRISTE NSEN miracles to put show on the boards an eye on how things are going in the preparations of a technical nature. Once the performances begin, Michael will handle the co-ordination *from the stage while Ron, working with an intercom system, will signal the lighting crew when lighting changes should be made, • Ron trained for his duties at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in Toronto where he studied theatre arts. He gained experience before coming to Blyth last year with Theatre London and toured Ontario in 1974 with Ontario Youth Theatre. Taking over Ron's technical duties this year is Bjarne Christensen, a native of Clinton, Things may be a lot easier in this second season of the Festival than in the first, but for the technical director the headaches are still many. Bjarne doesn't have to deal with the old makeshift lighting board this year, but for a while it appeared he might. With the assistance of a grant from Wintario, the Blyth Centre for the Arts, the sponsoring body for the Blyth Summer Festival purchased a $5000 lighting control board this year to improve the lighting effects for plays in Memorial Hall. The problem was when the equipment arrived, it was di•scovered that the 50 -year- old lectrical system in the Hall just wouldn't meet the require- ments of the new equipment. A ,ain the limited budget of the Festival provided problems. Luckily, Bjarne's experience in electrical wiring and the fact his father is an • electrical contractor came to the rescue. Working day and night for several days, Bjarne completely rewired Memorial Hall to modern standards. The unexpected cost still put the Festival overbudget, but it was done at a fraction of what it would cost to have a contractor do the work and it becomes a permanent improvement to the Hall. Bjarne first picked up an interest in theatre , in Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton where he served as student technical director and helped with the two large musicals Brigadoon and Pirates of Penzance. He has always been something of an electronics freak and in high school won a good deal of attention when he built a computer for entry in a science fair. After high school he began study to be an electronics engineer but decided he didn't like the engineering part of things so he quit. For a couple of years he worked in social work and then decided he wanted to use his talent in the theatre so enrolled in the York University theatre school where he studied for four years. He has worked from time to time in many theatres but Blyth is his first job since graduating. He has a busy schedule ahead however for two days after he is finished in Blyth he starts work with Tarragon Theatre in Toronto for the winter. Bjarne has been in charge of constructing the sets for the plays this year. Not only arc there four plays to worry about but the settings are much more compli- cated than before. To start off, there were no permanent scenery flats in Memorial Hall theatre so 'Bjarne and his crew built the flats out of wooden frames with stretched cotton. These will remain in the theatre for future productions. Then the crew began working from the setting designs of Michael Harris. Complicating the construction is the fact that the Festival works in the repertory style meaning that the plays are Continued on Page 13 PHILLIP STREET BEST OF LUCK to the BLYTH S MER FES ' IVAL duringthe .umm- season TASKER' Blyth,. Ont. TURF 523-4577 Dianne made the right choice DIANNE HAWKINS, To say Dianne Hawkins is in love with her work is an understatement. This summer at Blyth is the first professional acting for the young Toronto actress and it's confirmed that her decision to make acting her career was the right one. A quiet, almost retiring woman, she seems almost out of place in a business where one has to be outgoing onstage, yet it has been all she ever wanted to do since she was about two years old, she says. Despite her life-long desire to act, Dianne says, she never considered it as a career because it was just too impractical. But after taking a year off to work after graduating from high school, she decided she didn't want to look back at age 40 and wonder what she'd missed so she enrolled in the theatre course in York University, She has one more yearto go before she graduates. Besides her first professional experience, there has been another first for Dianne this summer. A city girl, this is her first real chance to see what it is like to live in the country and she is loving every minute of it. She is staying with a wonderful couple in Blyth she says and doesn't look forward to going back to the city The Miracle Workers... Continued from Page 12 alternated from night to night and the sets must come apart and go back together again for easy storage. Most summer theatres which present a play for a whole week, then switch to another play, don't have such problems. But such things arc a challenge for the young crew, They give people like Bjarne and production assistants Janice Irving and Phillip Street more experience than they •could get elsewhere in as short a period of time. Jan, a student at . th'e, Ryerson theatre school, is working as an apprent- ice with the Festival this year but she is just one of the gang as far as her work is involved. She has fitted right in doing the toughest jobs. She has just dime, covered in itchy insulation from the attic of Memorial Hall where she has helped lay lighting cables. Shc has helped build sets, build flats, and just about every job there is to do. Her biggest task, however, is to round up the tountless props that must be used in the shows. The props for The Blood is Strong arc particularly difficult since they are all circa 1840. An appeal over radio for the many things needed like flint -lock musketts, old pails, a pump and many other antiques brought a big response. "The response to the radio was just incredible," Jan' says. "Everybody has made it so much easier for me, They've been so helpful." The other apprentice on the crew is Phillip Street, son of Dr. and Mrs. R.W. Street of Blyth. Phillip has been involved in high school theatre as has nearly all members of his family and this year gets a change to learn the ropes behind the scenes in a professional theatre. He has been helping in building sets and all the . other jobs in the theatre. Phillip and Jan are paid through grants from the Ontario 'Arts Council for the apprenticeship program. For Michael Langford this summer, it's a case of no rest for the weary. Usually, he says, his job as assistant stage manager would become easier once the play opened. But 'running in repertory things just aren't that way. His work when a show is running is mostly backstage while -- Ron the stage manager calls the show from the lighting booth. In a theatre that runs only one show at a time that means a relatively relaxing time compared to his job while a show is rehearsing. Then it's like being a one-armed juggler as he tries to keep rehearsals running productively and smoothly. But here, one show no sooner opens that another goes into rehearsal meaning the pressure of rehearsals at the same time as running another THE BLYTH STANDARD, JUNE 30, 1976. PG. 13. of his plays, Turkey will be performed for children in Blyth and on tour in Goderich and Sea for ill, And he's planning a workshop for children again this year that will probably be as popular with children as his crowded work- shops were last year. JIM SCHAEFFER Jim Schaeffer adds writing to acting at Festival Versatility is a good word for Jing Schaeffer in this 1976 season in the fall, Dianne gets a big challenge this summer when she takes on the role of Edie, the leading part in How 'f' 4et My Husband. She will also take part in Shape later in the summer. Acting for her, Dianne says, is total involvement. It's fun and it's educational. An actress has to learn about other people to observe them and see why they do things and to discover things about herself that help her portray a character. One thing at least Dianne has discovered about herself this summer: that she made the right choice in deciding to go ahead and try, acting as a career. show. Michael wouldn't have been in Blyth this summer if it hadn't been a slack time for his regular theatre company Young. People's Theatre in Toronto. But with things slack there and his wife Dce Dce having a chance at a job here, he decided to take a leave of abscnse from YPT and come to Blyth as a .family. Probably there have been times when he wishes he hadn't in the frantic pace of the Festival. Michael's a native of Quebec but calls Toronto home now. He first became interested in theatre work while at Sir George Williams University in Montreal. He served as stage manager at Les Grandes Ballets Canadienne at the time. Later he studied for three .years at York University's theatre school. of Blyth Summer Festival. Jim was a busy man last year at the Festival when he acted in both productions, conducted work- shops for children and even wrote some material for the Country ' Cabaret show. Along the way he also won a lot of friends in Blyth with his easy, outgoing person- ality and sense of humour. If anything, he'll be even busier this year. He'll be acting again of course, but this year he's also writing. His Shape, about the Olympics will be the fourth major production of the season.

Regulars from last year may not recognize the name on the program, but they'll recognize the tall, thin actor who gave so many laughs at the last year's Festival as Ron Swartz. Ron changed his stage name this past year when he joined Actor Equity causing considerable confusion to people who knew him by the old title. But he's still the same actor whose comic actions in such things as portraying a horse in Mostly in Clover rocked Memorial Hall to the foundations with laughter last season. He's pro- bably the closes thing the Festival. has_to a star. Ron kept busy this past year on several fronts. He did a film for the National Film Board and was involved with a troupe that toured Shakespearean plays to high schools. He also took a part in the play Rosencrantz and (iuilden- stern are Dead, This year he's back at the Festival not only to recreate his part in Clover but to take part in several other productions.

As well as carrying strong parts in several of this year's Summer Festival shows, Alfie plays another important role behind the scenes: he's the chief of morale boosting among the cast and crew. Alfie quickly established a reputation among the staff as a practical joker and, it has helped lighten some tense moments during the long, frustrating rehearsal period. The tall young actor hails from Haileybury, Ontario. He gained his first theatre experience at the Muck-Wug theatre (it's, aptly enough, Ojibway for clown or performer). He came into theatre by a strange route. His first exposure had conic early, way back when he was in grade school when instead of writing history essays, he'd write, act and direct plays on history. But just before he settled in a professional theatre career he'd been working as a bush guide. One day he was busy entertaining when his boss thought he should have been doing ' other work. They parted company quickly and just as quickly Alfie became involved in an acting company. An acquaint- ance who was a professional actor, director and writer got him involved with the Muck-Wug troupe where he had a two year practical (heatre course, His first professional job was as a set painter's assistant and working with props at the St. Lawrence Centre in Toronto. Most of his recent work has been for television working with such C.B.C. shows as Side Streets, Nest of Shadows and several other television shows and films. He'ended up in Blyth almost by accident. He went to pick up a friend who was auditioning for artistic -director James Roy and ended up auditioning himself. He got the part and so is involved in his first live stage production since 1974, He enjoys film work in many ways more than stage work since it requires a different kind of acting, The camera picks up minute details where on stage actors have to be much more emphatic in word and gesture. He plays the part of Barney Hanna in The Blood is Strong and will take parts in the return of Mostly in Clover and in Shape later this year. Ann Roy, wife of artistic Director James Roy joined the staff of the Festival at the end of June after the school yearend [she's a teacher}' But her work began long before that time when she worked all winter long in sparetime to help organize the 1976 season. She will accompany her husband to England this winter. . THE BLYTH STANDARD, JUNE 30, 1976. PG, 15, DEE DEE LANGFORD Dee Dee almost had to be artistic It was almost a certainty that Dee Dec Langford would be involved in the arts someway or other. Her mother, she recalls, was interested in theatre when she was younger. Her father was something of a comedian all his life. His brother is an artist. Although still young, she's a veteran actress, She began taking dancing lessons early and at age nine went to drama school. She was involved in school theatre work'right through high school. At 17 she had her first professional work. She was a member of the Good Company on C.B.0 television. She earned her ACTRA (Radio and television union) card when she played a dramatic role on the series Quenton Durgens M.P.

The designers and customers finish their acf before curtain MICHAEL HARRIS When the curtain parts on opening night, it's just a beginning for the actors and the technical crews that have to provide lighting and sound every performance and the musicians who play the music. But for Designer Michael Harris, it's the end of a long hard road. Michael is the designer for the Blyth Summer Festival this year and his work started months ago, long before most of the actors or musicians even saw a script. In early May, Michael began his work. He commenced by reading the script of each play he was to design three times, each time looking for different details he had to be aware of. His task is to decide what the play is about from a visual standpoint while the director decides what it is about from an actio?. -standpoint. The two discus§ the play to co-ordinate their thoughts. In May he came to see the theatre so he would know how his dein with the rest or ..., gns would work.. in with the w� Hall, he says, is a good theatre w work in. Michael came to Blyth after working at a theatre in Thunder Bay this past year. A native of LonJ-n, Ontario he didn't really get i-tvolved in theatre until he went to York University. He studied stage design there and was allowed to finish his studies six months early to take part in an apprenticeship program sponsored by the Ontario Arts Karen Lindsay is the publicity director for the Festival for 1976. A graduate of York University, she plans to study this year for her teaching certificate. Wis ' es all t e Best to t BLYTH SU M I R FESTIVAL Council, Since then he's designed shows in Toronto, Fredericton as well as Thunder Bay. His task at Blyth; he says, is challenging since the three shows he is to design are all in different styles. The Blood is Strong, for instance is set in the 1840's among Scottish settlers. How 1 Met My Husband, however, is in the late 1940's, early 1950's period while Shape is another period again. How 1 Met My Husband is particularly difficult because it was written originally as a television play and had several different locations. On stage all the action must be in a single location, Besides designing the stage settings Michael does the actual painting of the sets once they arc build by the technical crew. The other equally important task for him is to design the costumes involved. This requires careful study of the period in which they play is set to make sure the costumes look right. From the sketches Michael draws of the costumes, the next step belongs to Kim Love, the wardrobe mistress. Kim is studying pattern drafting at George Brown College in Toronto because she wants to have more Don Nicholson was busy, busy, busy Probably few of the actors of the Blyth Summer Festival have had a busier winter than Don Nicholson. Besides holding down a regular job, Don has had a hectic season on stage in two different theatres in two local towns. After completing the run of The Mousetrap with last year's Summer Festival, Don took a role in the Goderich Little Theatre production of Scrooge, last Christmas. In March he was in the GL•f production of The Late• Christopher Bean and in May was in The Hasty Heart. While rehearsing The Hasty Heart he was also busy at Memorial Hall rehearsing his part for Barefoot in the Park for the Blyth Little Theatre. This summer he's back at the Summer Festival in the produc- tion of The Blood is Strong. DON NICHOLSON. versatility in the costuming business in theatres, She gained her first interest in theatre in her hometown of Sarnia where she became involved in musicals on stage and also helped out with costumes. The theatre bug caught on but she chose the backstage costume work rather than the onstage. glamour because she doesn't like the idea of having to do the same thing cvcrynight like actors do and she likes working with her hands, She has worked as a sewer in other theatres such as the Quebec Summer Theatre and Theatre Plus at Toronto's St. Lawrence Centre. But .her job in Blyth is much harder and much more satisfying at the same time, Working from Michael's draw- ings she must design the patterns for each costume, keeping in mind the actors who will wear each. Working with the assistance of a friend Helen Crowe who is helping with the sewing, Kim will complete her work in about three weeks before the, opening. When the actors strut out on stage for the performance of the plays they are the people who win the applause but behind their work is the hours of planning and work of Michael Harris, Kim Love and Helen Crowe.

Versatility keeps food on the table for Fred Thury Versatility for Fred Thury is the key to staying employed in the hazardous world of theatre, Fred combines his skills this summer at the Festival, He is primarily a director and will direct the fourth production of the season, Jim Schaefer's play on the Olympics, 'Shape', But he is also a musician and he is musical director of the festival, in charge of the overall musical content while each production has its own individual musical director, One talent he isn't using widely this Man of many talents Jack Blum'ssummer of */t) means doing a little of everything, Jack's a student at the National Theatre School in Montreal and for him this summer at Blyth means his first professional experience in two fields, acting and music. He first got involved in theatre at Westdalc Collegiate in Hamilton where Ann Roy, wife of Festival artistic -director James Roy taught. He has never had musical training but he has picked up the guitar and banjo along the way and will help provide thc,music for some of the shows this year, when he is not on stage acting that is. And when he's not working hard in the theatre, he's often entertaining in other ways...like riding his unicycle, or juggling, or just cracking jokes. summer is his writing ability. He's a published playwright and has written music as well, In all he is a freelance actor, singer, director and playwright and the various talents mean he can find jobs when others in the business are unemployed, He even teaches courses at university. He gained a B.A. in philosophy from St, Mary's School of Science and Philosophy and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of South Dakota. His music has been picked up along the way. He came from a family that wasn't musical Shelley lets When it comes to talking about herself, Shelley Cooper - Smith would just as soon let her music do the talking. It speaks volumes. Shelley uses her violin in many ways from sounding like bag pipes in The Blood is Strong to country and western hoedown music. She is equally handy with a guitar and other music. • She started out taking classical violin lessons from ages 7.13 but just couldn't stand practicing any longer. In high school she discovered her interest in folk music and taught herself to play the guitar. About live years ago she picked up the violin again and began improvising accompani- ments for British folk songs. This led her into jug band music and more fiddle playing, mostly for folk music.

Kindergarten Students graduate BY MELDA McELROY The professional actors work- ing arduously these days in Memorial Hall in preparation for the summer's festival plays could not possibly work more earnestly nor more naturally than the Kindergarten stage artists. This writer had fortunately been invited by one of the young performers to attend their gradu- ation ceremonies on June 22 at the school assembly. All seemed totally oblivious to the packed house before them, In a delightfully relaxed manner they had fun as did their teacher. And what they did not dol They displayed prowess in higher mathematics by counting, away up in sweet clear tones, balls being dropped into a can. During "show and tell' time, among various articles, a pair of boxing gloves rose into view as w(.II as a back% hoc contraption. Everywhere there was rhythm. Their singing games and step dancing were full of it. The leaders of the band, as they took WANT TO KNOW HOW TO LIE DOWN ON THE JOB? BE A + BLOOD DONOR their turns, handled their batons and their musicians with the expertise of symphony "greats". In their play Goldilocks (she did possess the locks all right) floated and flitted with graceful abandon, She and the cleverly made-up three bears changed with rapid ease their facial expressions, - registering amazingly well consternation, disappointment and mischief. There was even a Stratford festival touch when Goldilocks made her exit a happy hop down centre aisle. Dimension was added to the • whole hearted singing of the words in the "Little White Duck" when there boomed before us, larger than life the duck, the frog, lily pad and all, and the red snake. Somebody in the art department has expert skill, Graduating ceremonies were colourful and impressive, Each graduate, resplendent in red cape and red mortarboard proceeded across stage to receive the contratulatory handshake and certificate from Principal Tremeer. They then advanced through the green streamered Gateway of Learning (should a mortarboard topple at this stage, a small hand deftly set it aright) 'to come face to face with their 'ARK THEA'1'll GODERICH 524-7811 THURS, JULY 1 ONLY SHOWTIME 1 P M REDFORD/HOFFMAN "ALLTHE PRESIDENT'S MEN" Reeommend.d Ada, er , Cale, lainmrnt ....„ . , .3,140.4* 2 SNOWINOS DAILY 0110118011:00 P.M, �! .41..��_ WED SAT JUN E 30 . 11" 3 WHEN MOVIES WERE SILENT - HI WAS THE BARK EARD'ROUND THE WORLD «W n.�:.
