Larabee said they hope to expand and incorporate a lot of improvisation in the coming weeks, while also incorporating their interviews, using quotes from community members verbatim. Te Brinke said that the show will be part fact and part fiction, but he's not yet sure which part will be which and furthermore he feels the lines will be quite blurred. HC Kid is on stage at the Phillips Studio at 7 p.m. on Aug. 16-18. For more information, visit the Blyth Festival website at blythfestival.com.

In response to a letter from Phil Beard of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority council followed North Perth's lead in creating a committee to decide the dam's future. Beard, in a brief conversation with The Citizen prior to council's Monday meeting, said that North Perth had decided to remove the boards from its dam and allow it to naturalize, a suggestion that the Maitland Conservation Authority has suggested as far as North Huron's Howson Dam is concerned. Beard's letter suggested setting up a committee, including residents and council members. Deputy -Reeve James Campbell said the committee was a good idea and a good way to weigh the pros and cons of the decision. He immediately moved that council establish the committee. Councillor Trevor Seip asked what kind of terms of reference would be set for the organization. He said he felt that should be established early so that people joining the committee know the end goal. Councillor Brock Vodden asked what the final goal of the committee would be, whether it would provide suggestions or make the decision for council, to which Reeve Neil Vincent said the committee would be an advisory body, but council must make the final decision. Seip said he didn't have any problems with a committee as long as it didn't result in undue delays in making the decision. He said that, after two years, the issue was still outstanding and he didn't want to add another three years to the council timeline. "I'm all for transparency and public involvement, but I don't see the value in delaying it another three years," he said. Council passed a motion to start the process of creating the committee. Council also received a letter from B.M. Ross and Associates indicating that quotes the company had provided several years ago were only for repairs. Director of Public Works Sean McGhee said the repair work was a short-term measure designed to allow the dam to continue to operate at lower water levels. It did not speak to rehabilitation.
