Lawrie’s first playoff round saw them take the best of three series, two games straight from the The 1986 ball season for the Blyth Fastball team was a success­ ful one. The team finished the regular schedule in first place with Homecoming committee gets Brussels council support The 115th birthday Brussels Homecoming got the co-operation of Brussels Village councillors when committee chairman Gerry Wheeler and vice-chairman Wayne Lowe appeared before council Monday night. Initial financing and insurance coverage were the two main worries discussed by Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Lowe with council. Mr. Lowe said it is the committee’s feeling there will be lots of volunteer workers if they know they are protected under insurance coverage. Reeve Hank TenPas said it was his understanding from talking to the village’s insurance agent that if council named the committee a committee of council by resolution the village’s liability insurance coverage would extend to the committee. Despite this there were concerns about the extent of the coverage and the worry about horses in the parade after the exclusion of horses from the International Plowing Match this year because the insurance coverage would have been too costly. Council agreed that once more details on programming were available they should be given to the insurance company to ensure coverage is complete. The commit- tee will be appointed as a committeeofcouncil in thefirst by-law of council for 1987 which appoints committees of council. Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Lowe explained to council that there is still a little over $2,000 left from the 1972 centennial celebrations but with the cost of bands for parades and so on the committee hoped the council could give a grant to the committee as happened for the 1972 celebration. At that time council donated $5,000. Reeve TenPas said that since the commit- tee appeared to have enough money to finance its needs for the time being, council would consider funding in the new year when it is working on its new budget. Mr. Wheeler said his committee is small now and he hopes more people will become involved at the next meeting Oct. 16. He suggest­ ed council might like to appoint a representative to the committee. He said the committee hopes to make it a big affair and hopes to use every facility in the village includ­ ing the new BMG pool and the river by the new dam. Merners Construction team. Blyth won the first game by a close 5-3 score and came back to win the second 8-2. In the final series Lawries would face a tough young londesboro Dynamo club who finished the regular schedule only one point behind them. The series was going to be a best three out of five and it would take the full five games to decide a new league champ. In the first meeting the Londes­ boro club jumped out to a 7 - 0 lead before Lawries could score a run. The game finished 8 - 6 for Londesboro. The next game was not much better for the Lawries, as the Londesboro team continued to hitandLawrieshadproblems in the field. The game ended 5 - 2 for Londesboro. Londesboro now had a two-game lead in the series and needed only one more win. In the third game Lawries played a tight defensive game, behind the strong pitching of Rick Scrimgeour who struck out 10 Londesboro batters, to help Lawries win the game 1-0. In the fourth game Lawries once again shut down Londesboro, winning the game 4 -1 and tying the series at two games each. In the final game of the series, Londesboro threatened early with a man on first and third with one out, only to have the next two battery ground out to the infield. The game remained close until the fourth inning when Lawries scored three runs, and went on to win 8-0 and take the series three games to two, allowing only one run in the final three games. Lawries captured several indivi­ dual league awards over the season and playoffs. Brian Bromley won the regular season batting award with a .471 average; Steve Cook finished 10th overall, batting .367.

George Church also gave them a guided tour throughout south Ireland, a beautiful part of the country. The following statement, because of the Ontario’s extended periods of downpours lately, may “eat your heart out. ’ ’ For their entire two weeks, the weather was warm and the sun shone continu­ ously. Not a cloud! Their hosts, informed them they had hit the nicest weather Ireland had had all summer. Don said, that generally speak­ ing, commodities there are higher in price than in Ontario. Gas is higher. Coffee is 10 - 20 per cent higher. Lenore ’ s dream of long standing had at last been realized. In addition, they had enjoyed every minute of their tours. Nevertheless, to step again onto Canadian soil, even though it did not look nor feel so good with its mud puddles, made Don and Lenore glad to be back. The store and staff looked good to them, and from Lil McLaughlin (formerly of the Kitchen Cupboard on main street) who had lived in the Scrimgeour home during their two-week absence, they heard aboutthegoodtimeshehad had with family members left behind - Kevin, Brent, Heidi and canine Wendy. 2/.69 1.99 450 G. 1.29 .49 69 .89 i NIAGARA FROZEN ORANGE JUICE NABOB TRADITION COFFEE 369 g. 3-99900 G. 1.05 100’s 1.69 LB. .99 LB. .49 12 oz. .89 340 G. .99 675 G. .89 Brussels McCutcheon Grocery• SS7-9445 OPEN MON.-SAT. 8-6 P.M.
