The Citizen, 1986-08-13, Page 11Slo-pitch
tournament
held at Blyth
The week-long Blyth Slop itch
tournament wound up with two
championship games played in
intermittent drizzle at the Blyth
ball park Sunday afternoon.
Newry Royals defeated Port
Albert 13 - 3 to take the “A”
championship trophy. Newry took
an early 4-0 lead but Port Albert
seemed to be right back in the
game when it scored three runs.
Newry chipped away and took
advantage of errors and walks to
build a 10-run lead going into Port
Albert’sfinal bat and that’s the
way it ended.
Along the way Newry defeated
Ripley Raiders, United Rubber
Workers from Mitchell, Wingham
Slush Puppies and Lanesville
Lords to make it to the final.
Port Albert defeated the Bussi-
nessmen, the Warriors, Lumber
Kings and the Blyth Inn.
The Consolation game was
slightly closer as Kinloss held on
for a 7-3 win over the Lucknow Six
Shooters.
After losing to Londesboro in the
opening round, Kinloss went on to
beat the Knights, Ripley Raiders
and Burkholders. Lucknow lost to
Londesboro in the opening round
then beat the Smokies, Howson
and the G-Gems.

championship trophy at the Blyth Slowpitch tournament from Walter
Dala Riva of Carling O’Keefe Breweries who helped sponsor the
event. The week-long tournament ended Sunday afternoon.
THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1986. PAGE 11.
Woops! Newry Royal’s third basemen found it hard to get a handle on
this hard-hit ball but it didn’t hurt his team much as they hammered
Port Albert 13-3 in the final of the Blyth Slopitch tournament on
Sunday.
Bayfield
merchants
look at BIA
Bayfield merchants, exploring
the possibility of forming a Busi
ness Improvement Area (BIA) to
help promote their businesses
heard the advantages of the
program at a recent meeting in that
village.
Brad Brownley, executive chair
man of the Sarnia BIA told the
merchants such an organization is
formed “to promote and beautify
the area’’. He said he feels a BIA
has advantages over a merchants
organization because all business
es contribute to the BIA, there is
consistent management and it
enables easy access to information
and longterm planning can be
done. He said BIA’s have a proven
track record.
And, he said, if a town or village
forms a BIA, it can become part of
the BIA of Ontario and have access
to group plans for its employees.
In Sarnia, he said, the number of
vacant stores had dropped from 28
to six in the two years since a BIA
was formed.
To make a BIA successful, Mr.
Brownley said, there are at least
three basic programs which must
be carried out to support the
objectives.
The first is improving the
product. “The would be Main
Street and its retail mix’’, he said.
The second program is market
ing the core area by way of
advertising. “Whenyou get sick of
hearing it (the message) is when
the public is just beginning to hear
it,’’ he explained.
The third element is the develop
ment of a ‘ ‘team spirit” which gets
the businessmen involved in work
ing together, cutting down the
workload for individual members.
Mr. Brownley also felt that
architectural attractiveness is im
portant when it comes to drawing
customers.
Robin Phillips back
at Stratford Festival
The Stratford Festival has nam
ed Robin Phillips as Director of the
Young Company.
A former Artistic Director of the
Festival (1974-80), Mr. Phillips is
one of the most respected directors
working in North American thea
tre. His recent production of
Cymbeline for the Festival in 1986
(it opened August 1) earned critical
acclaim and standing ovations
from audiences. Cymbeline mark
ed his first Festival involvement
since 1980.
“This is an announcement I am
excited to make,” Festival Artistic
Director John Neville said today.
“As an actor, I have a first-hand
knowledge of Robin’s directorial
skills. In addition, he has a rare
ability to guide young actors
towards a fuller realization of their
potential. I know he will do a
superb job as Director of the Young
Company.”
Robin Phillips replaces Tom
Kerr, Director of the Young
Company in 1986. For personal
reasons, Mr. Kerr has asked to be
released from his contract and the
Festival has agreed to thatrequest.
“Iam delighted to accept this
appointment as Director of the
Young Company,” Robin Phillips
said today. “My return to the
Festival this year was a happy time
and the Young Company is a
program in which I have a special
interest. It provides the opportun
ity to teach as well as to direct but it
also carries a huge responsibility —
the development of new and
exciting talent to carry on the
tradition of excellence so vital to
the future of the Stratford Festival.
I am honored to become a part of
this vital process.”
