GOOD NEWS lyth Novices show promise in exhibitions BY RUSTY BLADES Well, another hockey season has rolled around and all the teams in the Blyth minor system are back in action. The Blyth novice A-Team returned to the ice last week with two exhibition games. Last Wednesday, October 29 had the Clinton team travel to Blyth foranexcitingcontest. Onlythe fine play of Blyth’s two goalie system kept Blyth in the game as Chris Lee and Mike de Jong continually turned back the Clinton sharpshooters. The second period ended with Blyth ahead 1 - 0 as Jonathan Collins fed centreman Ryan Chamney who skated down the right wing boards and put a sharp angled shot between the post and the Clinton goalie. A see-saw battle was staged in the third period as Blyth quickly took a 2 - 0 lead as Peter Craig, assisted by Scott Arthur, got Blyth rolling in the third. However, fatique and inexperience showed the rest of the way as Clinton rallied to tie the game. Blyth took the lead once again as Henry Bos set up Brian McNichol, who made no mistake with a tremendous wrist shot. Before the game had ended, Clinton had fought back with two goals to skate home with a 4-3 victory. Saturday, November 1 saw Blyth travelling to Seaforth for a final, tune-up before the regular sche­ dule gets under way. Players and parents alike were anxious to get this game underway because of the two humiliating one-sided losses imposed by Sea­ forth over Blyth last season. Another blow out was the order of the day only this time the tables were turned. Blyth 8, Seaforth 0. This is definitely NOT a misprint!!! A superior Blyth team complete­ ly dominatedadetermined Sea­ forth squad with smooth skating and accurate passing. Although the shot total was low, Blyth goalies Mike de Jong and Chris Lee turned every shot back as they shared the shut-out. Blyth took a 2 -Olead after one period as Jonathan Collins scored an unassisted goal on a fine shot. Then, Henry Bos was positioned perfectly in front of the net thanks to fine passing from linemates Chris Howson and Brian McNich­ ol. Blyth added two more goals in the second period as defenceman Mark Shepherd assisted on goals by Peter Craig and Jonathan Collins. The third period featured four more goals as Blyth completed the 8 - 0 romp with perfect positioning and great passing. Peter Craig, with an assistfrom Ryan Chamney, opened the scor­ ing in the third. Next, Benjie Hakkers scored his first goal of the year thanks to a fine pass from Jonathan Collins. Chris Howson then sent a beautiful pass out in front of the net to first year novice Jason Rutledge who proved that he hasn’t lost his goal scoring knack over the summer. Ryan Chamney scored the final goal of the game as he proved that, if ail else fails, shoot at the net. Ryan was checked outside the blueline and as he was falling he senta shot toward the goal that somehow found its way behind the goalie. It would be interesting to hear how Ryan recalls that goal 20 years from now. A certain amount of satisfaction was seen on the player’s and coaches’ faces as they now know that the team will be very competitive and exciting this season and expectations are high for another successful novice season. Team players this year are: Goal, Chris Lee and Mike de Jong; Skaters, Scott Arthur, Jason Rut­ ledge, Benjie Hakkers, Henry Bos, Ryan Chamney, Chris Howson, Shawn Hakkers, Peter Craig, Mark Shepherd, Brian McNichol, Fred­ erick Datema and Jonathan Coll­ ins. The coaching staff this year consists of Doug Chamney, Jeff Howson and Terry Rutledge. The novice team opens the regular schedule this Wednesday, November 5 at 7 o’clock at home to arch-rival Brussels. Once again an open invitation is extended to the Blyth community to take in a few games at the arena this winter. > Hopefully, game times and teams will be made available in this paper. See you at the arena Wednesday night at 7 o’clock. PLAN is changing for the better.

On January 1, 1987, your Canada Pension Plan will change. These changes put your Plan on a solid, long-term financial foundation. It’s important to know what benefits are available because your Plan provides you and/or your fam­ ily with a basic level of earnings protection when you retire, become disabled, or die. You will, however, have to apply for the benefits when you believe you are eligible. The information that follows highlights the major improvements. It’s good news! Financing a better tomorrow New financing arrangements will make and keep your Plan more secure than ever. Right now you and your employer each contribute 1.8% of your earnings up to a maximum amount. Each year until 1991, the contribution rate will rise by 0.2% and from there until 2011 by 0.15%. If you make the maximum contribution, you will pay about $26 more in 1987. A wider choice of retirement options After January 1st, you carioegin receiving your CPP pension as early as age 60. You could qualify even if you are not fully retired. If you begin your pension before age 65, your benefits will be less because you will nave contributed less and will get tne bene­ fits for a longer period of time. Or, if you cnoose not to start your pen­ sion until after age 65, (up to age 70), your monthly benefits will be greater. Your pension would normally be pay­ able the month after your 65th birthday. For each month between that date and when your pension begins, your benefit will be adjusted by 0.5%. This adjustment will apply for as long as you receive the benefit. Increased disability benefits If you qualify for disability benefits, your monthly payment will now be significantly increased. For example, the maximum disability pension in 1987 will increase from $487 to more than $635 per month. As well, anyone entering or returning to the work force will have disability coverage after contributing in 2 of the last 3 years, in which contributions could have been made. Survivor benefits continue on remarriage If you receive survivor benefits, they will now continue even if you remarry. If you remarried and had your survivor benefit discontinued, you can have your benefit reinstated. Splitting pension credits If your marriage ends in divorce, each spouse will be entitled to one half the “pension credits” you earned together. After January 1, 1987, the credits can also be divided if your marriage or com­ mon-law relationship ends in separation. Sharing your pension When you and your spouse receive your CPP retirement pensions, the benefits you ’ve both earned during your life together can be shared if either of you makes this request. and ¥Country Club JUSTEASTOFVANEGMONDHOUSE R.R. #4, SEAFORTH 527-0985 I I I I I l’d like to know more about my new Canada Pension Plan. Please send me the ‘good news’ in English □ in French □ about □Retirement Pension □ Disability Pension □ Death & Survivor Benefits □ Pension Credit Splitting □ Flexible Retirement □ Financing your CPP ■ Health and Welfare ■ t Canada Name Additional benefits for dependent children In the past, dependent children were lim­ ited to one flat-rate benefit, even if both par­ ents had paid into the Plan and died or became disabled. Should the same happen now, your children would be entitled to double bene­ fits. Improved ‘Combined’ benefits If you are entitled to a com­ bination of survivor and disability benefits, the maximum monthly amount you could receive will now be greater. As for combined survivor and retire­ ment benefits, these will now be more gen­ erously awarded to those who qualify. Huilding on a solid foundation Being financially prepared for the future is a responsibility we all share. Your new Canada Pension Plan now gives you a stronger foundation. It’s a sound base, and it’s up to you to build on this foundation. It's never too soon, or too late, to begin building for your future. We hope you'll start today.
