The Blyth United Church Women
met in the church parlour to see the
pictures taken by Randy and
Lorna Fraser during their recent
trip to Vancouver, Alaska and the
Yukon.
Their boat, The Stottendam,
could dock where others had to
take smaller boats in Ketchikan.
The tour went up the pass where
the gold miners took their train trip.
There are still deceased miners and
horses up there. One can still see
marks in the permafrost.
The miners had to prove they had
a year’s supply of food.
The ship docked at Skagway
(Yukon), Anchorage and Fairbanks.
The meals were not a typical
offering such fare as moose and
bear.
Skagway, Yukon is where gold
was first discovered. One can still
take out a small rock, but a large one
has to be given to the government.
The Native (American) people and
First Nations use salmon to feed
their dogs. Nutrition has been
depleted by the salmon jumping
upstream. They keep their dogs fed
even if they have nothing.
The Frasers saw many First
Nations fashions, dolls, sheep,
beaver, wolf and fox.
There are 18 hours of sunlight in
the Yukon at this time of year.
They saw Pierre Berton’s
childhood home.
The UCW’s next meeting is Nov.
22 at 6:30 p.m.
Congratulations to Karen
(Bernard) and Rob Mason on the
birth of their son.
Blyth Swinging Seniors held their
monthly meeting on Oct. 24.
Sharon of Sharon’s Miniatures was
guest speaker. She spoke of how
her collection of thousands of
cars grew and why her present
location seems a perfect place to
display them. She invited everyone
in just to see and enjoy the items on
display. Items from the
Christmas collection will be on
display in her windows at
Christmas time.
Everyone was reminded of the
Seniors’ Christmas dinner Nov. 28.
It will be catered by the Legion
Auxiliary. Tickets are $12 in
advance from Joan Watson.
There will be no December
meeting.
The next euchre is Oct. 29.

Supermarket sweep
Ena Cook of Clinton was the big winner of the 2007 Blyth
Festival raffle, earning her three minutes in Scrimgeour’s
Food Market to fill up as many carts as she could to ready
herself for the winter and possibly beyond. Cook eventually
cleared just under $350 in groceries. Second prize went to
Keith Pullen of St. Catharines, who took home a beef
basket, and third prize went to Pat Stanley of Stratford who
won a $100 pork basket. The raffle raised over $1,500 for
Blyth Festival programs and was sponsored by Huron
Insurance Managers Group. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
