Costs rise for recreation program
Answering complaints by some
parents that children in the Blyth
summer recreation programme
were getting too little supervision,
Blyth council Wednesday night
approved increasing the staff of the
program from three to five.
Councillor Steven Sparling who,
along with Councillor Loma Fraser
forms the recreation committee,
said that last year some parents had
Blyth may get composters but
recycling still far in future
If grants are available from the
province, Blyth residents may be
offered half-price composters but it
appears the village is as far away as
ever from getting into recycling.
Councillors were asked if they
were interesting in taking part in a
program that would encourage peo
ple to buy backyard composters to
reduce the amount of garbage
going into landfills. Councillors
Steven Sparling said if a grant pro
gram is available to pay for half the
cost then the village should take
advantage of the system so people
can buy composters if they wish.
But, he said, the village shouldn't
subsidize the composters any more
than the province already did. Peo
ple should simply be offered the
Sunshine UCW Unit
hears about Germany
The Sunshine Unit of the Blyth
United Church women met in the
Church Parlor, May 9, for their reg
ular meeting.
Mary Howson and Marjorie East
chose for devotions the theme
"Another Look at Love", giving the
verse "For God so Loved the World
He gave his only begotten Son".
Mary gave a reading and the hymn
"Wonderful Love" was sung with
Phyllis Boak at the piano. Mary
chose the scripture from I Corinthi
ans, 13th chapter. Marjorie
received the offering and it was
dedicated by Mary Howson.
A very interesting story was read
by Marjorie about a lady who was
always ready to help by sending
baking, flowers, etc. to anyone who
felt that three leaders was not
enough for the number of children
enrolled in the program. With that
in mind the committee will increase
costs slightly to allow for the hiring
of two extra leaders.
Cost of enrolling a child in the
six-week programme will increase
to $45 from $30 for year-round
Blyth residents ($55 for seasonal
residents or out of town children);
opportunity to buy the composters
at half price.
The composting situation brought
conversation to the subject of recy
cling. Reeve Albert Wasson said he
did believe recycling was coming
and he felt it was getting a lot clos
er but people had to be willing "to
buy the service". "If people knew
how much it was going to cost they
might be shocked."
Councillor Steven Sparling said
recycling is still in its infancy and
there were a lot of problems such
as the tire situation showed. If peo
ple want action they should really
do something about excess packag
ing, he said.
Reeve Wasson said he had
recently heard an official from
showing love. "Tell me the Old Old
Story" was sung. Mary read a
poem, "Love One Another" and
closed with prayer.
Ruby Pattison look the study.
She spoke on Germany entitled
"Building Bridges over the Wall".
On Nov. 4, 1989 the wall came
down between East and West Ger
many. There have been many prob
lems integrating the people, the
churches, offices and schools. The
East Germans do rejoice in this
new freedom, but the West Ger
mans show some contempt as they
are poorly dressed and it has creat
ed much unemployment. Their way
of life is much different after living
under Communist rule for so long.
Their social rights were protected

$55 for two children ($60 for non
residents) and $60 for three or more
children ($65).
At six weeks for $45 you really
can't get much better than that,"
Councillor Steven Sparling said.
"Loma and I are really enthusiastic
about this group of people (the
leaders)." Three have work experi
ence in such activities and three are
taking work-related studies at
school
Bluewater Recycling speak and "I
hear very clearly there is a market
if you do enough sorting but sorting
is expensive and getting the stuff to
there (the sorting plant) is expen
sive. When we feel it's justified
then people will get a blue box pro
gramme."
The village is saving about two-
thirds of the volume of what goes
into the landfill by a process of
sorting garbage into burnable and
non-bumable garbage, the Reeve
said.
"Were helping to extend the life
of the landfill", Councillor Sparling
agreed. He said the process of sepa
rating out bumables and marking
the bags with a red sticker is part of
the education process necessary for
the eventual introduction of recy
cling. "Our landfill is well man
aged."
