The Citizen, 1986-09-17, Page 27THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1986. PAGE 27. Good turnout for Rebekah Lodge Accordion pleats were the result of a noisy crash in Blyth Friday evening. The 1978 Plymouth, above, was parked unattended on Dinsley St., when a CMC van, owned and operated by Fred Bradley Walbeck, 33, of RR3, Walton, veered off the street, crashing into it. The Plymouth, in turn, was shoved into a ‘77 Pontiac owned by David Button, of Blyth, causing $1,000 worth of damage. The Plymouth, owned by Elizabeth Riley of Goderich, suffered $3,000 in damage; the Walbeck van will cost another $3,000 to repair. Wingham Ontario Provincial Police said that Mr. Walbeck has been charged with careless driving. He was taken to Wingham Hospital with minor injuries. Blyth Council Lots of places to spend money With the Village of Blyth’s Ontario Neighbourhood Improve­ ment Program coming to an end next March 31, Blyth councillors spent part of their September meeting last Tuesday discussing how best to make use of the remaining money available. Ann Nesbit, acting clerk-treas­ urer, said she had a meeting with Art Clark of Maitland Engineering Service Ltd. the village’s engineer, and a provincial representative at which she was reminded that any money not used by the end of that time would be taken back by the province. She said there was $3,122 still to be spent in the hard services portion of the program (streets, watermains, etc.) and $6,496 left in the soft services (social and recreation facilities). In their discussion, councillors indicated there was no shortage of places to spend the remaining money. In the social and recreation facilities area there are projects such as painting the beams in the arena, siliconing the brickwork on the new addition to Memorial Hall and repairing the roof at Memorial Hall all to be done in the next while, any of which will take up a good portion of the money. As Reeve Albert Wasson said There was a good turnout of members for the first meeting in September of Morning Star Rebe­ kah Lodge. Noble Grand Barbara Watts conducted the meeting. During the business period members were advised October 14 to be the date of installation of new officers. Due to the lodge having to vacate the hall before that date, tentative plans to use the Seaforth Lodge Hall were made for this occasion. A letter was received from the Assembly Presi­ dent asking the lodge to drape its charter in memory of two deceased Grand Lodge Officers and to support charities (high on her list) was the Arthritis Society. The next meeting on Sept. 23 is to be held in the upstairs meeting room of the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre at 8 p.m. It was also decided to have the Variety Fair in the Library on Oct. 18. Card parties are to start in October at the Library on Oct. 6 and there was no urgency in finding now “there’s nothing we can do places to spend the money and for except review it. ’ ’ More debate needed The issue of whose driveways to help pave resurfaced at Blyth village council at the September meeting, Sept. 9. The council had set a policy of paving to the edge of driveways already paved on streets that were being paved with the village to pay the first 10 feet from the edge of the paved portion of the road then split the remaining cost to the property line on a 50/50 basis. At least council thought that’s what it agreed to. But when council went back and reread its earlier motion, even the mover and seconder couldn’t agree on the intention of the motion. Council agreed that the motion should be made more complete and made into a by-law. The issue appears certain to be having more debate at future meetings. 20 at 8 p.m. Everyone is welcome. An exhibit depicting 125 years of the Fair is to be entered and a donation to the Fair Board was made for a prize for school work. Mary Lowe and Vera Hastings gave very interesting reports of the Rebekah Assembly of Ontario which they attended in June in Royal York Hotel, Toronto. They were delegates from Brussels Lodge. A social time followed the closing of Lodge when a draw was made for travelling prize. Marie McTaggartwasthewinner. Anoth­ er draw was held for an afghan made and donated by Delores Wheeler. Tickets had been sold on this before Lodge closed in June. Janet McCutcheon was the lucky winner. Gospel concert Continued from page 26 Miriam Zehr, Sharon Freeman and Anne Hemingway, a trio from the Brussels Mennonite Church, sang beautifully. They were ac­ companied by Rob Adams. Miss Robyn Hicks from Clinton played a medley of her own composition on the keyboard. A youth group under the direc­ tion of Dave and Linda Stewart sang some numbers. Mrs. John McIntosh said words of appreciation and presented the Master of Ceremonies Murray Gaunt with carved wooden figures from Haiti. Pastor Daley Hussey closed the programme with prayer. Guests and friends attended from London, Wallaceburg, Kitchener, Hanover and surrounding areas.
