Plans for five expenditures
BLTYH - The village's plans for the 1985
Ontario Neighborhood Improvement Pro-
gram (ONIP) call for five expenditures. The
costs of the projects total $60,000 with the
grant providing half of the expenses, or
$30,000.
The most expensive project is the con-
tinued paving of roads and streets, totalling
$30,000. ONIP will provide $15,000.
The Lions' Picnic Shelter costs $8,000 with
the grant covering $4,000. The shelter waves
built in 1984 and' funded by the Lions,
however, the. village is to repay the club.
Due to moist„rp in tha beams at the Blyth
and District Community Centre, they are in
need of being scraped and painted. This pro-
ject will cost $10,000 with the grant covering
half.
Repairs to the ice plant building at the
arena are needed. The ONIP grant will
cover $3,000 with the entire project
estimated to cost $6,000.
A tentative project for the 1985 program is
general improvements at the Blyth
Memorial Hall. Clerk Walsh explained that
furnishings and added insulation to the roof
are needed, however, ithas been marked as
a tentative project at this point.
Donations
Council voted to donate $25 to Easter Seals
during their March 12 meeting. This is the
first time they have donated to the organiza-
tion.
The Huron County Playhouse in Grand
Bend requested a donation from Blyth Coun-
cil. Council has never donated to the
Playhouse in_previous years, but are check-
ing to see if the Town of Grand Bend has
made donations to the Blyth Centre for the
Arts.
The matter will be reviewed at council's
April 9 meeting.

Youths to assist workers
By Anne Narejko
BLYTH - Brian Westberg and another
youth have been hired under the Oppor-
tunities for Youth program for a 20 week
period to assist village workers. The pro-
gram began on April 2 and will run until
September 27.
According to Clerk Larry Walsh, the
youths will be helping Mery Ritchie and Bob
Brown on the roads as well as looking after
the parks. However, their main task will be
working on a program that requires the
replacement and straightening of village
sidewalks.
Under the Opportunities for Youth pro-
gram, the village will receive a $2.50 per
hour subsidy towards the youths' wages.
At Blyth Council's March meeting, it was
decided to submit an application for another'
summer youth program. Council hopes to
receive assistance in hiring a youth for a
recreation program and possibly some
assistance at the ball park. They will be ap-
plying to the Summer Employment Ex-
perience Development (SEED) under
Challenge '85.
