Blyth Skate-a-thon raises $1900
Seventy-two enthusiastic skaters
registered for the Skate-a-thon held
on October 27 at the Blyth Arena.
The skate-a-thon raised approx
imately $1,900 to complete pay
ment of the new flooring at the
arena and fundraising for the Blyth
Minor Hockey, Ringette, Figure
Skating and Power Skating clubs.
The final total will be tallied after
the pledges have been turned in on
Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. - 12 noon at the
arena.
For the second year, five-year-
old Leanne Vincent was the winner
with a total of $44.00. Sisters,
five-year-old Candice and three-
year-old Amanda Bearss each had
$27.50 in pledges, to take second
and third place for the girls seven
and under.
Ryan Lee topped the boys, seven
and under raising $69 in pledges.
Steven Van Amersfoort was second
Cream Producers against
extending conversion program
with $61.25 and Adam Anderson
had $38 for third prize.
Over seven years top girl was
Christine Lapp also a second time
winner with $67. Kim Ferguson
had $56 in pledges and Amanda
and Melissa Hanna each had $53 to
tie for third place.
Chris Bromley topped the boys
over seven with $50.50 in pledges.
A close second was Jeremy Van
Amersfoort with $50 and Tyler
Stewart won third prize with
$47.98.
Three cheers should go to each
child that skated, because they took
the time to collect pledges and
skate to support their clubs and
arena.
Many smiling skaters left the
arena with door prizes donated by
local businesses and the Blyth
Legion Ladies Auxiliary. Prizes
were also awarded for games and
races held throughout the day.
Each skater received juice, treats,
apples, pop and chips to keep up
their energy.
The 1990 Skate-a-thon was a
huge success thanks to the com
munity and parent support given to
the organizers of this event.
Blyth supports
lighting project
Blyth Village Council gave its
blessing Oct. 23 to the beginning of
a fund to replace the lights at the
main arena ball diamond.
Jane and Marylou Anderson of
the Blyth Ladies Fastball team
appeared before council to discuss
the matter. They had delivered to
the village the proceeds of a co-ed
slo-pitch tournament held this sum
mer. They had hoped, they said, to
put the $2,500 toward the replace
ment of the bulbs (at $300 apiece)
on the towers at the ball diamond.
They had been advised by an
electrician, however, that the
whole light should be replaced atop
each tower and that if that was
taking place, the towers should
really be replaced and rewired.
Each new tower and light would
cost more than $5,000 for a total of
more than $30,000.
Reeve Albert Wasson asked the
women how they planned to tackle
the project, spending a little at a
time or saving their money to
undertake the whole project. Jane
Anderson said they had hoped to
be able to replace at least one light
this year. Marylou Anderson said
the team hopes to hold another ball
tournament next year. They won
dered if any grants were available.
Reeve Wasson said the funds
available under the present PRIDE
grant are committed so the village
wouldn’t be able to help under that
program. Councillor Dave Lee sug
gested the group save its money for
now and hope that in the future
some sort of grant would be
available to make the money
stretch further. If they spend
money on part of the project now it
wouldn’t be available for matching
funds in the future, he pointed out.
