This year the family banquet will
be held Feb. 19 at the Blyth arena.
Trinity Anglican Church will host
Scouting and Guiding members and

monthly theme. For January, a sport
ing and games theme provided an
opportunity to enjoy an evening of
tobogganing outdoors, and board
games indoors.
For February, the emphasis will be
on environmental issues.
Thanks to the generosity of one
parent, the Beavers will assemble
bird feeders and play a recycling
game.
Also, on Feb. 15, all Beavers are
invited to participate in Beaver Birr
at St. Boniface School in Zurich.
They will enjoy a day of games and
crafts with Beavers from many other
groups.
On Feb. 25, they will enjoy an ani
mal hunt outdoors.
Since Christmas, the Cubs have
been very busy. They enjoyed a fun
evening of tobogganing, hot choco
late and camping Jan. 25-26, at the
Londesboro Hall.
With the help of many parent vol
unteers, this was an opportunity for
winter games, lots of craft activities,
and each Cub began work on their
own perfect racing Kub Kar
machine in preparation for the
upcoming Kub Kar races. After test
ing their creations locally, they will
participate in the area Kub Kar Rally
in Exeter, March 1.
The Cubs have also been working
on the Tawny Star requirements.
Sherry Rowe attended one meeting
to demonstrate and teach some basic
sign language.
Gary Caldwell prepared a toolbox
craft for each of the Cubs and helped
them assemble them on another
night.
Future projects include making a
Wolf Cub Woggle and a demonstra
tion of model air planes by Steve
Delisle.
Because of the large enrollment,
the pack is also in need of more tents
for camping in the spring. Efforts
will be made to find funding.
Scouts are working on two differ
ent seasonal activities.
Before Christmas they went swim
ming at the Vanastra Pool. After
Christmas they enjoyed an evening
of tobogganing.
Each Scout has now begun work
on a canoe paddle for the spring.
They are also planning a winter
camp for Feb. 7-9.
Venturers are getting their home
made aircraft closer to completion.
Currently, they are painting it and
looking forward to getting it in the
air.
This has been a team effort that
has extended over two years.
They are also working on the chal
lenge to produce a motorized bfty-
cle.
The Blyth Festival has announced
the winner of its search for this sea
son’s image.
The winning painting, by Barry
Richman of Grand Bend, is titled
Balcony View. The pastel was
inspired by chairs overlooking the
Ausable River near the artist’s
home.
Richman’s work was one of 75
submissions from Ontario artists
that ranged from pencil crayon to
experimental photography.
“This painting captures perfectly
the balance between the landscape
and the theatre,” says Blyth Festival
Artistic Director Eric Coates.
“There’s a sense of community,
anticipation and reflection. Theatre
relies on all three.”
Five representatives from differ
ent areas of the arts were part
of a jury to select this season’s
image.
The season image will appear on
the 29th season commemorative
poster, as well as the season
brochure and house program.
Richman’s work is showcased in
the River Road Artists’ Co-op
Gallery in Grand Bend. His works
prominently feature landscapes,
rivers, lakes and shoreline themes.
He believes that first impressions in
nature are everything.
