The crop was sold for a net return of $16,982. This sum will be added to donations from Belgrave and the project’s partner church, Northminster United in Oshawa. These donations are still coming, so the final total is not yet available. Helping with the harvest were harvesters Fred Meier, Ron Cook and grandson, Doug Walker, Allen Walker, Brian James, Ken Procter and George Procter. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank is currently sending aid to many countries, including those hit by the natural disasters in Haiti and Pakistan. The Canadian International Development Agency matches all donations, providing an additional $4 for every dollar donated. Those who wish to contribute can send their donations through Knox United Church, Belgrave, Box 70, Belgrave. Tax receipts will be issued for all donations over $20. In order to get a tax receipt, please make cheques payable to Knox United Church, but clearly mark on the cheque that it is for the Belgrave Community Foodgrains Project. Foodgrains project crop sale nets $16,982 Sports The Bantam Rep travelled to Zurich for a Friday night game and while the first period was a little sluggish for both teams, Blyth was able to pull out a 6-2 win. Mike VanWyk got Blyth on the scoreboard with 3:31 left in the first with the assists going to his brother Matt, and Wyatt Carey. With less than two minutes left in the first Zurich put one by Blyth netminder Dalton Carey, there was some talk that the assist on that goal might go to his brother Wyatt. This is the second time this year this debate has taken place. It should be noted that this crushed any hopes of his brother getting his third shutout in a row. So the first period ended in a 1-1 tie. The second period was dominated by Blyth at both ends of the ice. Dustin Pennington with a pass from Kyle Pollard was the first to strike for Blyth. The second goal of the period was scored with a “Scooby Doo” by Wyatt Carey, likely feeling bad for assisting on Zurich’s goal. It should also be noted that he may not have assisted. The third goal of the period was another unassisted goal, this time by Matt VanWyk. So at the end of the second period it ended with Blyth up 4-1. The Dogs came out for the third with a decent lead, but that is not always a good thing. Zurich was able to catch the Dogs and snuck their second puck of the game by D. Carey. Spencer Stevenson soon struck back getting one in Zurich’s net on a nifty pass from Matt VanWyck. Blyth’s sixth goal came on a great shot from Matt VanWyck. The final buzzer went with Blyth up 6-2. The Dogs only had two players W. Carey and Mike VanWyck penalized and unfortunately each got two minutes each. The Bantams play at home on Sunday, Nov. 14 at 5:30 p.m. Blyth Bantam Reps beat Zurich 6-2 Two out of three for Midget Lightning The Saugeen Maitland Midget AA Lightning took two-out-of-three games this weekend in Lower Lakes League action. On Saturday, the Lightning hosted the Chatham Outlaws in a double-header and took both games by identical 5-0 scores. Picking up the consecutive shutouts was Emily Kelly. Sunday’s match saw the top two teams in the division faceoff with the unbeaten Bluewater Hawks hosting the 5-1 Lightning. This closely-contested game was won by the Hawks 2-1. The smooth passing of the Bluewater team was able to keep Saugeen’s offence at bay, except for Brooklyn Irwin’s highlight “toe-drag” goal in the second period. Tallying weekend goals for Saugeen Maitland were Dollee Meigs (three), Brooklyn Irwin (three), Laken Smith (two), Nicole Marriage, Ashley Reid and Marcie Landman while assists went to Hannah Davidson (three), Marriage (three), Abby McGavin (two), Brittany Butcher (two), Kelly Garrow, Sara Gossell, Smith, Meigs and Irwin. The Saugeen Maitland PeeWee A Lightning played close to home in Goderich over the weekend and managed a 3-0 win. Goals were scored by Nikki Cable, Neve VanPelt, Avery Reeves with assists by Amy Hepburn, Mel Nolan and Delayna Smith. Monica Rankin played well in net. The Lightning then played host to Bluewater on Sunday and came home with a easy win with a score of 6-0. The Saugeen Maitland Bantam AA Lightning travelled to Windsor to play a back-and-forth game with plenty of chances, but none were in the right place at the right time. The game ended in a 0-0 draw. The Lightning are in Howick next week. PeeWee Lightning win two, draw one in weekend action The November meeting of the Belgrave UCW was held at the home of Nancy Folkard at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 2 with 14 ladies present. Sheila Nixon opened the meeting with worship, and read a poem, “Lest We Forget”. Her meditation was on peace. Announcements were given for the change of date for the general meeting, which will be on Tuesday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the church basement. The speakers will show slides on bed kits for Sleeping Children Around The World. Everyone is welcome. The beef supper was announced for Thursday, Nov. 25 at the Belgrave Community Centre. A letter was received from the Christmas Bureau asking for donations again this year, and a box will be put at the back of the church for donations. They are requesting new socks, teenage girls’ personal items, any new clothes, as well as food items, cereal, canned goods and any other new items. Mrs. Folkard used the new mission and service mandate for the program and gave an itemized account of where our money goes when we donate to the M&S Fund. The M&S supports work in 34 countries as well as Canada, 124 Indigenous churches and 21 overseas personnel. She lit a candle which represents the Light of Christ as members support local, national and global needs. The UCW is one of the staunchest supporters of the M&S with over $122 million donated since 1962. She read an article of the work with the women of Peru as the large mining companies push families off their land and contaminate their water. Women now are becoming active in politics. Another article told of the micro credit loans made for women to start up small businesses in Mozambique. The needs are great for the work of the M&S to continue. The December meeting will be at the home of Muriel Coultes for the Christmas meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. and the roll call is to bring something for the Christmas Bureau. Following the benediction and grace Barbara Anderson and Muriel Coultes served refreshments and a social time followed.
