Decision deferred on vote for liquor store
A decision on whether to hold a
plebiscite into allowing the sales of
wine, beer and spirits from a retail
operation in Blyth was put off by
village councillors at their March 8
meeting at least until next month
when a full attendance of council
lors should be available.
A letter had been received from
the Liquor Licencing Board of
Ontario (LLBO) saying an inquiry
had been received about having a
liquor store in Blyth butthat the
village must first hold the vote
before an application could be
considered.
Councillor Lloyd Sippel said that
considering the cost of holding a
plebiscite he thought the issue
could wait until this fall when a
municipal election is scheduled
anyway. Councillor Bill Manning

said that as a representative on the
Business and Tourism Committee
this was one thing that the
committee was wholeheartedly
endorsing. The committee had
been helping Blyth Distributing
promote the use of part of their
property (the former Wallace
Turkey Products) at the north end
of town as a liquor store.
Reeve Albert Wasson suggested
that since Councillor Bev Elliott
was unable to be at the meeting the
decision on holding a vote be
deferred until a full complement of
councillors was present.
In another letter from the LLBO,
council was asked if it had any
objections to the application of
Triple K Restaurant for a liquor
licence but said it did not have.
Councillor William Howson how-
Mary Holland and her sister
Ollie Heels of Toronto enjoyed
perfect weather for thei; recent
two-week trip to Florida. They
stayed the first week at Daytona
Beach, where their first weekend
was particularly exciting. It co
incided with the annual motorcy
clist racing competition on one of
the world’s largest raceways.
Mary and Ollie’s second week was
spent sight-seeing in and around
Tampa.
For nine years, not all consecu
tive, and at approximately the
sametime of the winter, Ed and
Joan Watson and their good
friends, Don and Lenore Young of
Waterloo, formerly of Blyth, have
motored to Florida together, and
each time they have made their
headquarters Lakeland.
Tom and Iris Webster of Brace
bridge attended the birthday party

ever, expressed his personal feel
ings against the change in the
restaurant.
In reporting on the activities of
the Blyth Memorial Hall Commit
tee Councillor Manning said that
tenders should soon be called for
the replacement of the roof on the
building this spring as early as
weather will permit.
He said that the rental rate for
the Blyth Festival had been
increased and other groups had
been approached about voluntarily
increasing their own rates or the
board would have to look at putting
in increases.
A budget of $85,907 had been
approved for the Blyth and District
Community Centre, meaning
Blyth’s 31 per cent share is $6,882
councillors were told. Last year the
arena operated on a deifict of about
$846 mostly due to the cost of
installing the brine chiller, Coun
cillor Howson said. At present the
board has about a $1,000 surplus
for the year.
Councillors had been approach
ed by neighbours with worries
about the effect on their properties
of the expansion plans for the Blyth
Festival’s Dinsley St. garage
which will be expanded to include
scenery and costuming work
shops. The L-shaped addition will
occupy land currently loaned to the
townby the Festival for use as a
parking lot behind the Queen St.
South business section.
Advertising is
a to
fashion.
Councillors agreed to refer the
matter to the joint building com
mittee of theatre officials and town
officials asking that the theatre
keep the neighbours informed of
its plans and take their concerns
into consideration. Reeve Wasson
said the theatre has already
promised to try to provide privacy,
etc. for the neighbouring back
yards.
Council also agreed to write a
letter to the Ontario Ministry of
Culture and Communications sup
porting the Festival’s application
