exercise at Fitness Fair
Area seniors had a chance
to learn more about fitness
and the services available
locally during a recent
Fitness Fair hosted by Town
and Country Support
Services.
The Nov 29 event featured
fitness equipment demonstra-
tions, fitness assessments, a
Tai Chi demonstration, an
exercise footwear display and
more.
The Seniors Fitness Centre,
located at the Betty Cardno
Centre in Clinton, is one of
the newest initiatives of Town
and Country to bring fitness
and activity to local senior
citizens.
"It's never too late to start
exercising," said Cheryl
Phillips, exercise program
coordinator, in a recent press
release.
"Town and Country believes
that improving the health
and well-being of older adults
improves the quality of life,
and helps to keep people as
active and vibrant memb ers
of the community."
Visitors to the fair. were
able to get a sneak peak at
Town and Country's upcom-
ing Health and Exercise
Library, which will have
resources available to borrow
in January.
Both the fitness centre and
resource library are branches
-of Town and Country's LIFE
— Living Independently
through Fitness and Exercise
program.
Through LIFE, the Clinton
centre offers Monday and
Thursday exercise, classes, a
Friday morning hiking club
and inside walking program.
Classes are offered weekly
at several locations in Huron
County — including Blyth,
Brussels, Exeter, Wingham,
Seaforth, Vanastra and
Zurich.
Men's and evening fitness
classes are in the works for
the new year.
"People who maintain or
enhance their strength and
flexibility may be less likely
to develop back pain. You are
also better able to carry out
daily activities and avoid
chronic conditions as you
age," Phillips noted.
For more information about
the TCSS fitness program-
ming, contact Phillips at 519

Blyth Festival earns surplus
of just over $5,200 in 2006
The 2006 Blyth Festival
season earned surplus on
operations of just over $5,200.
"This is the third year in a -
row that we've earned a sur-
plus," said board president
Deb Sholdice on the Festival's
Dec. 14 annual meeting.
"Over 24,600 people saw a
show at the Blyth Festival
last summer – an increase of
seven per cent over last year,"
she said.
Two of Blyth's plays from
the 2006 season will be pro-
duced by other theatres.
Schoolhouse opens at 4th
Line Theatre near
Peterborough next summer
and The Ballad of Stompin'
Tom opens in Gananoque in
May 2007 before it returns to
Blyth in September.
A new board was elected
including: Deb Appleby
(Wingham), Cass Bayley
(Hensall), Doug Elliott
(Seaforth), Wendy Hoernig
(Benmiller), Alison Lobb
(Clinton), Alf Ross (Seaforth),
Keith Roulston (Blyth), Deb
Sholdice (Clinton), Annie
Sparling (Blyth), Trish
Trenter (Wingham), Margaret
Webster (Wingham) and
Bruce Whitmore (Walton).
Retiring from the board
after an extensive commit-
ment to the theatre are Joe
Wooden, Dave Scott, Ila
Mathers and Ron Lavoie.
Artistic Director Eric
Coates explained the success
of the 2006 season by prais-
ing the Blyth audience.
"Stompin' Tom made us feel
unusually patriotic and
renewed our sense that dis-
tinctly Canadian cul-
ture must be celebrat-
ed. Lost Heir turned the
mirror on the very act
of creating theatre and
how it has the power to
both wound and heal.
Another Season's
Harvest paid tribute to
Canadian farmers who
cannot catch a break
and they showed their
appreciation in spades.
Schoolhouse struck a
chord particularly with

our sense of community," he
said.
Randy Hughson returns
next season, featured in The
Ballad of Stompin' Tom in
September. Tickets are on
sale now to the revival of this
hit show.
Blyth Festival hosted 12
fundraising and special
events during the 2006 sea-
son. They involved artistic
programming, a celebration
of our history, arts education
activities, community out-
reach, great entertainment,
sponsorship and revenue gen-
eration.
With 130 active volunteers,
over 2900 hours were con-
tributed to the theatre
through ushering and work-
ing behind the scenes on spe-
cial events.
One of the highlights of the
2006 season included the
Blyth Festival's 100th world
premiere..
