The Citizen, 2003-11-05, Page 7A sheltered spot Letter to the editor THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2003. PAGE 7. Writer feels scary event dangerous entertainment Sandra McNichol, Cole Zwep, centre and Eric Vanderyk enjoy a quiet place to sit outdoors at Walton Little School’s new shelter. The parent advisory committee recently completed the shelter with funds from last year’s silent auction. Henk VandenBroek did the construction, while SunNorth donated and installed curtains. The major fundraiser this year is the Christmas in the Country dinner, auction and dance, Nov. 21 in Brussels. Anyone wishing to donate items can call 887-8302 to arrange pick-up. Funds will go towards purchases for the three classrooms. (Photo submitted) THE EDITOR, It was with unbelief to see the picture on the front page of The Citizen Oct. 29 titled Out for Terror to entertain hundreds of people at the Greenway Trail. To me this is outright dangerous, to be entertained by skeletons, goblins, ghosts, etc. Also the cross the corpse was wearing was used cheaply. It might have entertained hundreds of people, but the cross has been and will be precious by millions of people. That cross should have been worn by the corpse in the coffin upside down, as a symbol of satanism in this case. . Did it not occur to the editor, that this sort of entertainment is very frightening for young children? I have nothing against children coming to our door for trick or treat. They are always polite and pleasant. But to be out for terror as the wording stated above the picture we do not have to go very far. The media informs us, more than enough what goes on in the world of terror and terrorism. We should draw on what the Bible says in Phillipians 4: 8-10 “Finally brother, what is ever true, noble, right and pure, lovely, admirable and praiseworthy think about such things.” If we keep focused on these words, the world would be a better place for many people to live in. Sincerely, Mary Passchier. z Empty stores BIG concern Continued from page 3 declare Blyth’s main street a business enterprise zone which would allow tax incentives for property owners who improve their buildings. The big concern, he said, is that the longer some buildings remain empty the more expensive it may be to put them back in shape to host businesses in the future. The third approach is image development. Sparling said, noting this ties in with concerns expressed by BBA members in a 2001 survey when they gave a high priority to things like Christmas lighting and Communities in Bloom. There may be need for an events co-ordinator for the village to bring more people to town through promoting the assets and events the village already has, Sparling said. Sparling said BIG has come to realize that while Blyth faces many problems in a changing society, it also has tremendous potential because of the many things built by people of the community over the years. “I believe we live in a truly remarkable community,” he said. Noting Blyth has a reputation as a community that gets things done, Sparling said “Community spirit is the intangible thing that gets things done.” Blyth’s success is built on the three pillars of its people, its businesses and its facilities and events, he said. BIG will make use of willing volunteers as the program developed, he said, but the committee does not want to waste people’s time going to endless meetings until something tangible can be accomplished.
