Local bottle drive raises ,2,000 for hockey assoc.
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
The Blyth Brussels Minor Hockey
Association is benefitting from the
generosity of several community
groups, local businesses and the
community at large with a recent
bottle drive organized for the
association.
Sarah Cherrey, who, alongside her
husband Derek and other volunteers
planned the drive, said she was very
pleased with the event.
Two drop-off points were located
on Saturday at Scrimgeour's
Food Market in Blyth and
The Jam Jar Pub and Eatery in
Brussels.
Sarah said approximately $700
was raised at the Scrimgeour's drop-
off and the Jam Jar total has yet to be
determined, but she estimates it at
$1,000.
"Derek was there and he said he
was slammed from 11 a.m. until we
closed it," she said.
With approximately $1,700
already accounted for, Cherrey said
that donation boxes, located at
supporting business like the Queens
Bakery, have yet to be collected and
two community service groups are
also contributing.
The Brussels Optimists Club and
Blyth Lions have both promised
donations from events, including the
upcoming Blyth Lions Christmas
party on Dec. 9.
"We estimate that we'll raise
about $2,000 by the time we get all
that in," she said.
For a good cause
The Blyth Brussels Minor Hockey Association will receive approximately $2,000 from a bottle
drive that took place over the weekend. Sarah and Derek Cherrey of Blyth were behind the
event and their son, Everett, shown with the haul from the Blyth collection site, was on hand
for the entire day in Brussels helping load up empties. (Photo submitted)
Ball park draws several offers
By Shawn Loughlin
The Citizen
Huron East staff has been directed
to address multiple offers for the
Moncrieff Hall and ball park
property.
Council gave the direction after a
closed -to -the -public session on
Nov. 21.
The property has been for sale for
several months. However, when no
offers were accepted through the
request for tenders process, the
municipality turned to a real
estate company to sell the
property.
The process is ongoing and an
announcement will be made at an
upcoming meeting as to the future of
the property.

A rough third period
The Blyth Brussels Minor Hockey Association Midget LL Crusaders took on competition from
Mount Forest on Monday night. After holding the visitors to a 1-0 lead until the start of the third,
penalties took their toll on the Crusaders who gave up two more goals in the third to lose 3-0.
