County vote saves Ba//'s Bridge for at Ieast 10 years more BYBOBMURPHY Huron County council gave its approval Thursday to a road committee recommendation that the existing wrought iron Ball's Bridge south of Auburn remain as a county structure open to traffic at the existing standard for a maxi- mum period of 10 years. The approval, however, is condi- tional on the following: • the bridge will not be replaced in the event of any excessive damage or removal by natural CAUSCS. • at theendofthc 10 -year period, the status of the bridge will be Huron Federation to discuss debt solutions Huron County Federation of Agriculture will discuss the On- tario Federation of Agriculture's policy on debt writedown or' set-aside at its April meeting at East Wawanosh Public School on Thursday night, April 3. Guest speaker at the meeting will be Bill Benfen of the OFA executive who will also discuss a farm development corporation as an alternative and commodity based mortgages. The meeting begins at 8:30 p.m. reviewed as towhether it should be maintained for an extended period or closed and/or removed. The committee also recom- mended council continue its pur- suit for the replacement of the aged crossing ata point which would directiyconncct Benmillerthrough toLondesboro as part of the county road system. In its recommendation, the road committee reported that cnginecrs had estimated maintenance costs tokeep the current Ball's Bridge in its existing condition for the 10 -year period at S6,000 annually. County Engineer Bob Dempsey said there were "no surprises" in that estimate. The estimate was also based on the condition that a two -tonne load limit be posted for the structure, Dempsey said. Engineers had indicated to the road committee that if the existing Ball's Bridge structure were to be left as a foot bridge across the Maitland River, some of the anticipated costs may be reduced. However, there would still be a liability risk for the county if the bridge were "not properly main- tained for pedestrian traffic," the engineers said. Steps should be taken, the committee felt, to retain the existing bridge to public access. In addition, the move would ocean a preservation of county heritage, the committee reported. Council also gave its approval to a road committee recommendation that the county engineer organize a public meeting to outline the. proposals for Ball's Bridge. The committee reported it would be considered timely to allow the public opportunity in which to "understand the county's action and to provide some input on proposed alternatives for replace- ment of the existing structure. Dempsey advised council the publiemectingisscheduled for the Auburn Hall, Apr. 11 at 8 p.m. Brussels storefront goes to museum A little bit of Brussels' Queens Hotel will live on in the new Huron County Museum thanks to the interest of a Brussels -born archi- tect involved in the new museum expansion program. With the hotel coming down John Rutledge who works with Chris Borgal of Blyth, the firm recently contracted to design the new museum, remembered that under the boarded -up front of the old hotel was a storefront of what used to be a pool hall and hamburger stand operated by his aunt Maggie Rutledge. He asked if the boards could be torn off so Iic could get one last picture then was impressed enough with what he saw that he contacted Klas Breed at the Huron County Museum to conte have a look. Mr. Breed, whose plans for the new museum include a reproduction of a typical Huroncounty main street, decided to buy the storefront. The elegant storefront was originally the sample room of the hotel, the room used by travelling salesmen to lay out their wares for public viewing, Blyth architect on Huronview shortlist A list of six architects who will be asked to tender bids on the proposed renovation project at Huronview was given approval by county council at its regular meeting Thursday. The list was culled from a larger roster of 11 and includes the firms: Snider, Reichard and March; Brock and Ritz, Architects; Hyles, Garratt and Marklevitz; Christo- pher Borgal, Architect and Plann- er; Rieder, Hyman and Loblaw; and Mark, Musselman, McIntyre and Combc. The list was recommended to council by the management com- mittee for Huronview, the county operated nursing hone near Clin- ton. Top Huron herd owners honoured at Brussels banquet The top dairy herds in Huron county were honoured Thursday when the Huron County Milk Recording Committee held its banquet and annual meeting at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Com- munity Centre. The audience of 180 saw the award for highest herd average presented to Allan Martin. Bob Voddcn of Hol -den Farms took the award for runner-up herd average and for greatest produc- tion increase. The awards for Breeding Efficiency and Highest Plus Production Cow went to Jim McKague of Belmore. The top 12 herds in the county according to figures released by the Ontario Dairy Herd Improve- ment Corporation (ODHIC) which measures member dairy herds 11 times a year, belonged to: Allan Martin, Hol -den farms, Joe Win- kel; John H. Oldfield, Lloyd and Betty Dale, Lyle Martin, Siebolt Sicrtscma, Robmarann Farms ' (Bob McNeil), Tony Van Dorp, John•Branderhorst, Wayne Lichti and Jack Armstrong. The past year has been a hectic one for the ODHIC Robert Ross, ODHIC representative for Huron - Perth explained to those present. With the amalgamation of the Record of Production and Dairy Herd Improvement laboratory fac- ilities last summer and then a rewriting of the recording forms 'used by the farmers and the milk testing employees, there have been problems keeping service up to standards many producers expect. Ray Pennington of Tccswatcr, Region 8 Supervisor for Huron admitted "the fellings are getting pretty thin in some places" because of the delays in farmers getting the reports back from the herd testing. In addition, he said, there was an attempt last year to make sure all herds got 11 tests which created a lot of extra paperwork and required the hiring of more testers. "So when I hear thalsoandsoisn'thappy, he's part of the majority right now", Mr. Pennington said. Once the backlog is caught up and everyone is familiarized with the new forms the system is designed to improve service. The intention is that a courier picks up milk testing samples every day from the home of the milk tester and these will be delivered to the lab in Woodstock by the next day for testing and the information should be available for processing by the computers in the Toronto office by the ; ext day. "The intention is that the %heels (re- ports) should be out in six or seven working days" he said. Another problem is the shot:,ge of testers with both staff turnovers and an increase workload that has seen more than 30 new herds added to the program in Huron in the last ycar. Cu rrcntly there are 29 milk testers working under Mr. Pennington in region 8, Guest speaker at the meeting was . Keith Roulston who told farmers that they must work together with each other and with their neighbours in the towns and villages of the county to protect their rural way of life. Elected delegates to the ODHIC were Jim Murray, Seaforth, David Marshall, Kirkton, Siebolt Siert- sema, Auburn and Walter Elliott, Lucknow. Elected alternates were John McIntosh, Brussels, Art Verstecg, Gorric, Neil Vincent, Wingham and Bob Vodden, Clinton. PAGE 2. THE CFI77.EN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1986.

THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1986. 4 TIZAL Go out and get it The Bible may be right and the meek may someday inherit the earth but until then, the people who run the place will be those who hustle and take advantage of the breaks and make as many breaks as they can. That's why the decision of Brussels, Morris and Grey to join togcthertoforman industrial committee is so important: somebody is doing something. Ten years from now it may turn out to have been a wasted expense of money and effort but it's for sure something positive is more likely to happen because of the committee than if no committee was there at all. Several years ago Blyth had an industrial committee and although it didn't bring an industrial boom tothe village, it did facilitate the location done healthy new business to the community which now is a steady source of employment, The option is to sit back and do nothing and complain about how the world is against you. For a community to figure pcoplc will just somehow come along and set up businesses there is like someone spending a lot of money to open and stock a new store and then not to put out a sign or advertise, just figuring that the wonderful things they've got in the store will bring crowds flooding in. There arc hundreds of communities in Ontario all vying for new business and industry. The bigger the community, the more attractive it is for some businesses. The closer it is, to major markets in Canada and the U.S., the more likely it is to attract industry. But as an insiderin government recently said, it's also the big communities that are lobbying the government most for more help in attracting industry. The smaller communities just sit back and hope something will drop into their laps and when it doesn't, they've had plenty of time to make up excuses about why the community isn't economically healthy. We need more agencies to take a look at development of our communities, not just in industry but in commerce in general. We need toact like the shopping centre manager who looks over his centre and figures out what services arc missing to draw more pcoplc. What stores arc missing on our main streets to make it a complete shopping facility? What professional scrviccs would make the town a bigger attraction to the surrounding community? What industries seem to be natural for the community given the surrounding farmland or the other industries in town? The communities that have gone ahead in recent years are the ones that take their future into their own hands. Docs the community need a doctor? Somebody goes out and attracts one. Need a dentist? Somebody makes sure the word gets out saying the community needs a dentist? Need a newspaper? People get together and provide the funding to make one happen. People in Huron have always been known for their sclf•rcliancc. Brussels, Morris and Grey with their formation of an industrial committee are keeping that reputation alive. How much is too much Those advertisements by Ontario doctors asking us to go against the Ontario government in its attempts to ban exlra•billing by doctors, arc also telling us something more: there are a lot more places to spend money in medical care in Ontario. The doctors are telling us about all the other facilities we should have more of, from chronic care wards to physiotherapy units. This, despite the fact health care is already the biggest expense in the Ontario budget. The problem is, howdoyou decide when enough is enough in health care? As long as a linger can be pointed and somebody can charge that if the government hadn't been so cheap and provided this piece of equipment or that specialty ward someone might be alive today, how can any politician keep medical costs from taking even more of the tax dollar? Our perception of how much medical care is enough changes with every passing year. What we considered a modern hospital we could be proud of only a decade ago, is now hopelessly outdated. Frank Miller tried to close the Clinton Hospital several years agoandwhen he failed, people were just happy to have the hospital at all. Today the hospital is in the midst of one of several expansion programs since then. Wingham hospital has just finished a major expansion and nearly every hospital has some expansion or other planned. Doctors are spending many thousands of dollars to help childless couples have children and who can really say that's wrong? Who can say transplant programs are wrong? The problem is that like all government spending, it can't go on forever. But who wants to say enough is enough? 1/4. Kys �r pVERaS": PEOPLE (,ONO J.iVE /N c L/1SsliouSES C4Al K Wott)eR. ! Letter from the editor Ghosts from the past DEAR READER, I must admit to being a hopeless romantic when it comes to old buildings. When I see an old building being torn down like the Queen's hotel in I3russels, or an old barn falling to ruin in the country- side ountryside or a house left a heap of charred wreckage by a fire, I feel a sense of sadness and loss. Practical people will tell me that the buildings are just bricks and mortar and wood, after all and the practical side of me will agree. When a building is in too much disrepair the part of my brain that adds up dollars and cents agrees that it is more economical to tear down the building and put up something that will be more useful 'in our modern era. But the artistic side of me isn't really looking at the bricks and mortar coming down, it's thinking about all the pcoplc history that was involved in those old build• ins. I look at an old barn rotting away and I imagine the barn - raising when it was first put up, how all the community got together to help a neighbour. I think of the sheer, backbreaking work that went into lifting those huge wooden timbers into place in a day when most power came from the muscles of human beings. I think of the pride the owner had when his was the most modern barn on the line. I think of all the long, worried hours that wcrc spent waiting for a calf or foal to come into the world.1 think of the thousands of hours of fun provided to kids who used the hay prow as an indoor playground. That old house which somebody will probably say should have been torn down years ago anyway, has seen the joy of childbirth, the tears of death or of partings, the passion of loving couples and the warns, contented nights around the stove on stormy nights. That derelict old hotel waz once a symbol of progress for the -com- munity. It dates back to the grandest days of Huron county, that time in the late 1800's, and early 1900's when our farms and villages were at their peak of prosperity, when every 100 acres had a family on it and when every village was filled with people who ran industries that dreamed of being giants in their fields. The hotel hosted lonely travell- ing salesmen who were staying overnight before catching the train the next morning to the next town where they would show their warts to the local merchants. There would be the young couples 00 their honeymoon, filled with ner- vous uncertainty about what the future held for them. There would be the pcoplc out for a special dinner in the diningroom, the kind they could afford only once in a while as a break from home cooking. A little bit of the people oldie past is alive as long as these buildings exist. I remember once standing on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City and thinking that more than 200 years ago, the history of the country had been charged on that spot. Men who we can hardly iniaglnc, fought and died there, their blood seeping into the soil I was standing on. History on that spot wasn't something in books but• something alive. History is very alive in places like Quebec City and even Montreal and Halifax. Millions treck to London and Paris and Vienna to feel part of the long history of those European cities, In Canada, the urge is to tear down anything more than 50 years old figuring it can't be nearly as good as something we've built today. But the old buildings have something we can't install along with the aircondition• ing system hi our new buildings: that sense of people of the past, the scnseofconnection with thoscwho have gone before. So pardon me if 1 mourn a Title whenever another old building bites the dust. A little bit of all of us is lost.

Budget approval means go-ahead for renovation BY BOB MURPHY With its approval of the 1986 budgetataspecial meeting, March 21. Huron County council also Tram mittcd itself to the expenditure of 5720,000 over the next three years for a renovations program at Huronview. Budget approval came following length discussion on the controver- sial Huronview building project and a recorded vote of 18 to 12. The 19,86 budget allocates an expenditure of 5240,000 in each of the next three years -- an amount which is to be collected from county taxpayers. The Province of Ontario will also provide three equal subsidies of 5240,000 for the renovations of Huronview, the County -operated nursing honk near Clinton, Countil was clearly divided on the issue of the Huronview build- ing proJcct and discussion centred on the feasibility of including the project in this year's budget when thecounty isalrcady faced with the ambitious Pionccr Museum pro- ject. Coun, Bill Mickle (Exeter reeve) said he wanted to "go on record as favoring people over artifacts any day" but urged council to give consideration to including their Huronview project in this year's budget, "It's a matter of whether we are going to have it now or do it at sometime in the future," Mickle said. Last year during the budget discussions, Mickle said, oncofthe considerations which led toappro. val of the Pioneer Museum project was "that we were told the Huronview project was perhaps five years down the road ,,. and we made our decision based on that." Coun. Tom Cunningham (Hullett reeve) said council should make its budget decision based on how each member considered the Huronview project. "If this is a worthwhile project, then we should be doing it now," Cunningham said. The provincial funding for the project is there now, Cunningham added, "and it looks as if we don't use it now we will lose it." Cunningham suggested that approval of the budget should also mean that each councillor was accepting the apportionment for their municipality. "If we approve this budget now, then we should bc accepting our apportionment as well," he said, "there's nopoint in coming back in a week's time and trying to change that apportionment." Coun, Marie Hicknell (McKillop reeve) told council she felt the county was getting a "good deal" if it moved on the Huronview project at this time. "I think the time is now," Hickncll said, "we have to think of the people who arc living there." In response to a suggestion that council consider deferring the project for a few years, Clerk Treasurer Bill Hanly said that politically such a decision would be "more astute," However, Hanly added that he felt the project should go ahead this year. "If this project's going togo,.. it has to go now," Hanly said. Coun, Davc Johnston (Bayfield recvc) said he had the support of his local council and that he favored the inclusion of the Huronview project in the 1986 budget. He said thecost per household in his municipality to have the project included amounted to 56,40. "1 suggest that each reeve and deputy look at what it is going to cost per hoesehold in your munici- pality when you arc making your decision," Johnston said. Although not the only councillor to speak against the project at this time, Coun. Bob Fisher (Zurich reeve) was perhaps the most direct ' . }PONVIEW • The approval of the Huron County budget last month also meant the approval of Ibe allocation for renovations to Huronview. Scheduled overa three•ycarperiod, the renovations will make the home more like In his suggestion that the county "get out of the business of Huronview." Fisher suggested that private enterprise might better be equipp• cd to handle the business of operating nursing homes. He said his municipality made every effort to keep its mill rate down and still meet its commit• mcnt to the county. However, this meant the cutting of services within the municipality, he said. "I would like to be able to spend some money in Zurich rather than givcit to Huronview," Fisher said, "I'm in favor of scrapping the project and letting sonic charitable organization operate it." Wingham cuts fire budget Reacting to growing complaints about the cost of fire protection in areas served by the Wingham Arca Fire Board, the board hascut its budget and fire -call charge. Morris township council had been among the leaders of the revolt with a letter from Rccvc Doug Fraser that said his council felt the board was being "very extravagant" in some of its spending proposals. The reeve followed up his letter by attending a mccting•of the board along with Morris Deputy Rccvc Clem McLcl• Ian, Also at the meeting was Reeve Ernest Snell of East Wawanosh and representatives from the Howlck council. Mr. Fraser said his council did not see the need fora signal light in front of the fire hall in Wingham or an additional pumper truck in the current year. Chairman Brian McBurney ex- plained the board had already dropped the 56,000 in the budget for the signal light because it had found putting up a light that would meet Ministry of Transport and Communications specifications would cost 540,000. Eventually the board also a- greed to spread the cost of a used fire pumper for the Gorric fire station over three years which allowed them to make total cuts of 526,000 from the budget. Discussion then moved to the hourly rate for fire calls. The boards proposal had been to charge 5B00 per hour, based on the idea ofbasing thecost on the actual operating costs of the previous year. Eventually the board agreed to cut the cost back to 5500 ucr hour. The effect of the twochanges will save East Wawanosh about 53000 and Morris, 52,600. Away front the meeting, Fisher stressed that his comments should not be Interpreted as meaning that he was against nursing homes or old people. "But I ant against the county operating a nursing home," he said.

Local people attend conference About 400 Junior Farmers from across the province met for their Annual March Conference at the Holiday Inn in London, March 14 to 16. The theme for this years' Conference was •'Growing For The Future". Delegates worked on developing various skills such as leadership and communication while they met fellow Junior Farmer members. Pork producers' ideas wanted Have you come up with a good idea lately? Most pork producers are con- stantly trying to do their work better and faster. This often involves a new gadget, a different record keeping system, easier loading facilities or even a new building layout. One of the more interesting parts of the Ontario Pork Congress is the Innovator Contest. Farmers from across the Province enter ideas in three categories: Manage- ment Ideas, Gadgets, or Building Ideas. They arejudged and the first three in each category win prizes of 5225- I st; $125 -2nd; and $75 .3rd. If you are a pork producer and have an idea that you would like to enter in our contest, write up a description of it and send it along with a picture if possible, to Sam Bradshaw, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Box 159, Clinton. All entries will be on display at the Ontario Pork Con- gress. 1 March Conference combines the Organization's Annual Meeting with the election of the Provincial President and Vice -President as well asan atmosphereconducive to learning. The programme was filled with dynamic Guest Speak- ers and active group discussions. One of the highlights of the March Conference was a Banquet and Dance. At this occasion, a Candlelight Ceremony marked the induction of Provincial Directors and Executive for the upcoming year and the announcement were made of the selected winners of interprovincial and overseas trips.

Blueberry growing can be sweet or sour BYBRIAN HALL FARM MANAGEMENT SPECIALISTO.M.A.F. Blueberries have received quite a bit of attention in the press recently as an alternative cash crop in Ontario. Onc of the most important considerations of growing blue- berries is the potential returns and availability ofalma! market. While these have been adequately ad- dressed in recent articles there are other important considerations. Blueberry growing presents quite a challenge because the plants require special conditions. SOILTYPE The most important condition is the soil type. Blueberries have a shallow root system and grow best In well -drained, loose soil, high in organic matter. Plants also need a low pli soil of between 4.0 and 5.0. This means that for most areas in Ontario our soil pH would have to be altered to suit these conditions. On sandy and sandy -loam soils the preferred method of lowering the pH and preparing a suitable seedbed is to mix acid peat into the top six 10 eight inches of soil. Sawdust can be used as an alternative topcat, but is not nearly as good a mixture for the plants to grow in. Sulfur at the rate of 1'/: - 2 pounds per 100 square feet for each point the pH is above 4.5 should be applied the year before planting. In Huron County where the pH is in the 7.5 range, this would be about one ton of sulfur per acre. The pH should be checked each year to maintain the4.5 pH range. In high pH soils or in clay soils a raised seedbed large enough for several plants should be prepared. FERTILIZER A fcrtilizcrprogram using 10-10- 10 should be followed each spring ata rate of one ounce per plant, the first year, increasing this by one ounce each year until a level of six to eight ounces per plant is reached. Fertilizer should be spreadevcnlyaround the plant at a time when the buds arc bursting. PLANTING AND GROWTIi Highbush blueberry plants are planted at a rate of 1,000 plants per acre at a cost of about 52.00 per plant. Blueberry plants arc more winter hardy than peaches, but arc likely to be injured or killed by temperatures of -20°F to -25°F. 'therefore, without good snow. cover, production is not likely to be successful in the colder areas of Ontario. In those areas of the province with less than 2900 heat units a winter hardy variety should he planted. The variety Northland is the commercial variety suited to these areas. Northland is a hybrid between the highbush and low - bush blueberry. Plants arc fairly short and snow cover should provide adequate production. Blueberry plants remain produc. five for 20 years or more if growing conditions are good and the stand is well cared for. With the shallow root system of blueberry plants, irrigation is advisable. Trickle irrigation is the most popularsystem used. Several manufacturers sell trickle irriga- tion systems for blueberries. Onc grower I talked with rcccntly made his own from hose costing 6c per foot and drippers costing 7c each. BIRD DAMAGE Birds arca real troublesome pest to blueberry growers. While a number of methods such as nets and 'bangers' have been used, none are completely successful. Often a stronger deterrent is required with constant surveil- anee. YIELDS Growers can expect to begin harvesting blueberries in the third year of production. Although yields will differ from arca to area of the province and management, plants should yield about one half pound per bush in the third year. By the sixth tocighthycarwhen the bushes reach full production yields. of six to eight pounds (four quarts) per plant or higher arc possible. Prices will vary with local TUE CLASSIFIEDS MEAN MONEY! demand. One grower reported that prices in his arca were S2.10 per pint picked orSI.60per pint for pick your own. Blueberry production can be a fun and rewarding enterprise. Before starting into production, consider your costs, markets, soil type, labour requirements, and production recipe required to produce a successful venture. Failure to plan is planning for failure.

New number for ambulance Effective April 1, anyone calling fora Wingham ambulance is asked to use a new telephone number. The new number is 357.1155 for persons within the local Wingham calling area, while long-distance callers should dial the operator and ask for Zenith 90,000. R. Kasper, manager of the Central Ambulance Commmuni• cation Centre in Owen Sound explained the new number offers several advantages over the prc- vious system of calling the hospital number. A separate phone has been installed at the switchboard to handle ambulance calls and the operator will know when that phone ringsit is for the ambulance.. As a result there should be less waiting time and no busy signals. There is no change to the ambulance service itself, Mr. Kasper added. Thcrc are still the same crews operating out of the Wingham hospital. As a reminder of the new number, there will be a bulk mailing of phonc stickers to the communities of Wingham, Brus• sols, Ethel, Wroxeter, Gorric, Fordwich, Lucknow and Tees - water. Eventually a central dispatching servicewillbc established in Owen Sound to handle all ambulance calls in, this area. When that happens the numbers will remain thc same, but calls will be routed to a dispatcher in Owen Sound instead of going through the hospital switchboards, Mr. Kasper explained. He said he hopes this new system can be in place by the end of this year.

BYRUSTYBLADES Anyone who has anintcrestin Blyth Minor Hockey would be well advised to attend the next meeting on April 8 at 8 o'clock at the arena. New organizing blood and fresh ideas arc needed to keep this organization headed in the right direction. Everyone who has a child signed up in minor hockey havearight, but most importantly, an obligation, to attend these mee tangs and offer his or her views and/or services in minor hockey activities so that minor hockey will continue to flourish in Blyth. There is no strict executive and everyone is invited to attend all meetings to help make policy and fund raising decisions. With an operating budget ol'about S12,000. • every hockey season, it is easy to see that help is always welcome and appreciated. With minor hockey registration fees only covering one third of the operating budget, rumours persist that these fees could double unless more interest is taken in fund raising activities. Also, coaching decisions will be made at this meeting for next season. This promises to be an interesting and • informative session that, hope- fully, will be well attended and provide the leadership that will be required for the upcoming year. Ask yourself ' What can I do for minor hockey in Blyth? Tuesday, April 8 at 8 o'clock at the arena. I had the opportunity last Friday night to witness a Junior A playoff game between the London Knights and the North Bay Centennials at the London Gardens. London lost the game -3 as Seaforth native Dave Mcllwain notched a goal for North Bay. During the second intermission of every game, the league organiz- es a shoot out contest. Four fans, who have purchased programs that have selected pages autographed by a London Knight, earn the right to shoot from the bluclinc at a board covering the net that has a small hole in it. Prizes to those who score are either a stereo, free gas or new skates. (I sure could have used those stainless steel blades). The fourth shooter has to shoot front that sante bluclinc down to the far end of the ice at a hole in the board uM,r. Blyth Tykes have completed a very successful year. Members of the team include (front row, left to right) Darryl Shannon, Brad Anderson, Darryl Bromley, Jeff Cowan, Jason Rutledge, Jeffrey Ferguson and Chris Bromley; (back row) Stephen Youngblut, Chris Stewart, Robbie Johnson, Ben)amin Craig, Jason McDougall, Frederick Datema, Wesley Wilson, John Armstrong and (extreme back) coaches Wayne McDougall, Ralph Datema and Terry Rutledge.

The last advice I received front the organiz- er was that I would be booed off the ice if I missed the net completely. With that information in hand, and at least three Blyth novice players in attendance, the pres- sure was on to give a good account of myself in front of the 4,100 fans.

CARNE, PASTOR HURON CHAPELMISSIONARY CHURCH, AUBURN It was Sunday morning. In spite of the fact that it was February the flowers were fragrant and the birds were singing. The assembled people sang too: "Up from the grave He arose" - and there, off to the right, cut into the hillside, was the grave about which they sang, open and empty! That worship experience in the garden where Jesus is thought to have been buried, just outside the walls of Jerusalem, has made this Easter special to ntc. It was an exitilersUing experience, just a month ago, to stand by the empty tomb. It has been my lot to stand by graves br,tvcs over the years. The experience has always been sober- ing as I have officiated at the comniilal of the body to the ground: "earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust." The circumstances sometimes have made it especially tragic: the daughter of friends of ours, I5 years old, who took her own life; the wife and mother who was beaten to death by her husband in a drunken frenzy. Then, there have been the funerals of some, that, despite the sense of loss, have been downright jubil- ant: the aged widow who used to stand up in church almost every Sunday, and with radiant face, glorify the Savious Who was her constant companion; the saintly man who, during his last illness in the hospital, could only sing in a delirium of joy, "My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine." At (literals such as these, my pulse has always quickened as I have read the time-honoured words, "looking for the general resurrec- tion in the last day, and the life of the world to come, through our Lord Jesus Christ." I believe in the resurrcelion, not only because I have stood at the open tomb, and because I have known some saints whose experi- ence of God took them clear through "the valley of shadow of death," though they died, but 1 believe in the resurrection because I have seen some resurrected people. No, 1 was not present at the moment that Jesus died and "the tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out attic tombs..." (Matt. 27:52) but I have seen some come out of their graves, nonetheless. I remember well the man whose alcoholism finally drove away his wife and children. They were gone Three days before, Ile began to suspect that there was something wrong. When I made hint aware of the circumstances later, he was still insisting that he didn't have any problem. He began to conte to church and, one Sunday morning, he bowed at an altar of prayer and found a satisfaction for which he had been looking all his life. 1t was later that he confessed that, all the years that he had been drinking, he didn't know that his wife and children even existed, He had been "dead" in his sins. But now he was alive from the dead, and his resurrection was no less miracu- lous than that of Lazarus. Ah yes, 1 believe in the resurrection because of the empty tombs I have seen, and those who have come to newness of life. And, some day, all of the graves of those who have died with faith in Christ as their Saviour, will be empty and open for, "because He lives, we shall live also."

Box Office hours from now to May 30 are from Monday to Friday, 9 a. m. - 5 p.m. - County council to review policy on conventions BY BOB MURPHY 1luron County council has asked its executive committee to review county policy for convention atten- dance by employees and members of council, The issue was referred' to council's executive committee as Ole result of a motion introduced Thursday by Coun. 13!11 Micklc (Exeter reeve). According to I he motion. pre- sented at council's regular nteet- ing, the committee is to review the . curren1 county policy "with a view toconsidering the possibility of restricting" convention nitcn- uance by employees and council members in 1987 and 1988, Mickle's motion stemmed from an earlier request by County Engineer Bob Dempsey for ap- proval tom tend a convention in Las Vegas instead of one in Ottawa which had been approved by council at its last Heeling. The request for the convention switch was recommended by the roads committee during its report to council Dempsey had made the request based on the close approximation of costs between the two 00110011 - lions aloIlg with his feelings that he would "learn more" at the Nation- al Road and Street Maintenance Conference in the Nevada city, Coun. Harry Worsell (Goderich reeve), during discussion on the request, said he felt i1 was "costing the county too much to send its employees to conventions out of the province." Worsell pointed out that Demp• soy had 8180 811011(10d a convention last year "somewhere in British Columbia" and asked fora record- ed vote on the road committee recommendation. In that vote. council opted 17 to 1I in favor of allowing the convention change. However, Mickle's motion stemmed from that decision and, he said, was aimed at reducing the $100,000 or more annually which he estimated was spent by Huron County to send employees and councillors to conventions. "We are not trying to restrict staff from programsofeducat!on," Micklc said, "we are talking about conventions and not training septi• ears." Such a move, Mickle said, "al least shows the ratepayers of this county that two are trying to do something about reducing costs." In the earlier recorded vole, among those on the "nye" side of the ballot were: Warden Leona Armstrong (Grey reeve), Tom Cunningham (Hulled reeve), Marie Hickticll (McKillop reeve), .1. R. Kernigl a n (Colborne reeve), Bruce Machan (Wingliani reeve), 13ria tt McBurney (Turnberry reeve), Ernest Snell (East Wawa. nosh reeve), and Albert Wasson (Blyth reeve). Among (hose casting „nay" voles were: .1. R. Aitchison (West Wawa nosh reeve), and Doug Fraser (Morris reeve). Absent from the session were: Bob 13e11('I'uckersmith reeve), Bee Cooke (Clinton reeve), Hank Ten Pas (Brussels reeve) and Lionel Wilder (Hay reeve).

Music is by Ian MacDonald who wrote the music for TGIF produced at Blyth last year by Theatre Circle. The play tells the story of the first discovery of oil at Oil Springs in Lambton county around 1860, the first oil discovery in North Ameri- ca.1l deals with the tragedies, like a big fire in 1867 that burned for two weeks across 10 acres of ground, ditches and oil rigs and with the humourous moments the great wealth brought to the arca: the miracle merchants who sought to clean up off the pcoplc who were cleaning up in oil. The play was recently premiered in Petrolia and Neil Motchen of the Sarnia Observer said it was not only good history but good enter- tainment. He gave bouquets to the cast of four, writer Meyer and director Stephen Coopman, who is known to Blyth audiences as director of The Vaudevillians and TGIF for Theatre Circle. The play was so successful it has been taken to Sarnia for a dinner theatre engagement and this performance in Blyth was arrang- ed on short notice. Tickets for the show arc avail- able from The Saga in Blyth, Mary's Sewing Centre in' Clinton and Campbell's Cameras in Goder- ich.

This one -day event, organized by the visual arts committee to support the operations of the Blyth Festival Gallery, is intended to provide a showcase for some of the many talented artisans working in our region. There will be demon- strations of techniques and a fine array of different crafts displayed on the lawn and in the basement of the hall. Tlic long term goal of the committee is to develop the craft show into a major annual exhibi- tion and sale, This year's show is a first step, and for that reason it will be a small one. The space is limited. Craftspeople will be care- fully pre selected by the commit- tee on the basis of variety and excellence in design and skill. Preference will be given to regional artists. Like any first step, it is an exciting gamble. Brigitte Wolf, co-ordinator of the event, knows how tomake a new venture like this a success. She helped to organize a farmer's market in New Brunswick that has become a feature of life there. A craftswoman herself, Brigitte is sensitive to the needs of both the arca artists and the community. "I can see a place for a well -organized craft fair in Blyth. The fact that there arc no other major fairs at that time, just when the summer holidays are beginn- ing, ought to make it an attractive event for everyone." The Blyth Festival Gallery ex- tends an invitation to all crafts- pcople to apply for a place in this exciting first show. Applications arc now available. Submissions will be accepted until May 1. Forms will be sent on request (a self- addressed envelope is required).
