North Huron Clerk-Administrator
John Stewart and the Director of
Recreation/Facilities Dan Cousins
were meeting Tuesday night with
interested youth and parents regard-
ing the plans for a skateboarding
park in Blyth.
At the July 16 meeting of council
Stewart said that Cousins has been
looking into a mobile unit, but added
that he had heard some concerns
expressed about where the unit
would be parked.
Councillor. James Campbell said
he didn't feel that the site the group
had selected, beside the lawn bowl-
ing club, for the construction of a
skateboard park was right. Stewart
said that was his concern as well, but
added that he was also uneasy about

FROM BLYTH
Rev up
for
Hummer
Day
Rev up the lawn mowers this
Saturday. July 21 for Hummer Day in
Blyth.
The Communities in Bloom judges
will be coming to Blyth next week
and everything should look tip-top,
.spokesperson Bev Elliott said.
The judges will arrive July 24, eval-
uate the area on July 25 and depart
July 26.
The Blyth Communities in Bloom
committee has made several improve-
ments from recommendations the
judges made last year.
"Hopefully this. time we have a
good chance of winning the nation-
als," Elliott said.
One of the biggest concerns last
year's judges had, was the lack of a
tree planting program, Elliott said
This year the town has implement-
ed a tree program, with every tree in
the village mapped out. The map
idenitifies trees that need to be cut
down, trimmed or areas where trees
can be planted.
One area that has been recognized
for more tree planting is along the
Blyth Greenway. The committee has
decided to set up a Memorial
Celebration Forest. In the forest peo-
ple can buy a tree to plant in the
memory of a loved one who has died
or as a momento to celebrate a special
occasion like a marriage, anniversary
or birth, Elliott said.
Planting won't begin until next
year, Elliott estimates.
This year the committee has added
more flowers along the streets, in
painted flower pots from the public
school.
"We can be very proud of our vil-
lage," Elliott said.
This year's judges are Mike
Manning, from Newfoundland and
Rejean D. Millette from Quebec.
If residents spot the judges give
them a big wave and welcome them
to the village, Elliott said.
