Novices lose close one
BY RUSTY BLADES
Last Wednesday evening, the
Clinton novice team was in town to
play Blyth. Once again Clinton left
town with a one goal victory as
they defeated the local lads 3-2.
This game featured some tight
checking and fine skating from
both teams as they battled end to
end throughout the game. Blyth
opened the scoring in the first
period as winger Jonathan Collins
passed to Ryan Chamney just
inside the Clinton blue line. Ryan
turned and shot the puck in one
motion and Blyth led 1 - 0.
A defensive lapse with only 14
Ralph Datema organized the actual
tournament while the Fund Rais
ing Committee of Theresa Mach-
an, Rosie Lee, Jean Yanchus and
Marg Anderson were in charge of
the upstairs food booth, bar and the
admission door.
Four Old Timers’ teams and 12
Industrial hockey teams made up
the roster for the weekend with
Ripley winning the Old Timers
seconds left in the period enabled
Clinton to tie the score. The only
goal in the second period was
scored by Clinton on a power play
advantage as they took a 2 -1 lead.
Blyth came out flying in the third
period and quickly tied the score as
sniper Brian McNichol found the
net with a well-earned assist from
linemate Chris Howson. It was a
see-saw battle the rest of the way
until Clinton scored the winning
goal with exactly two minutes left
in the game. Blyth pulled their
goaltender in favour of an extra
forward with one minute left in the
game and valiantly tried to score
Crown and Treleaven (Lucknow)
won the “A” Industrial Crown and
Hodges Goderich won the “B”
title.

Blyth arena may get lift
for handicapped
Santa Says:•C
The possibility of installing a
handicapped lift in the Blyth and
District Community Centre is
being investigated by the Blyth
Recreation Committee and the
Ladies Auxiliary to the Royal
Canadian Legion.
At the Nov. 10 meeting of the
committee a delegation from the
Auxiliary was present to discuss
the possibility of installing the lift.
Peter Miller, a representative oi
Armorlift Company was also pre
sent with details about a lift that
would accommodate two people
and a wheel chair. He said it would
cost about $30,000 for the lift and
the construction necessary to
accommodate it.
The delegation said that the
Auxiliary is celebrating its dia
mond jubilee in 1987 and hoped to
be able to financially initiate such a
project.
Later, members visited Clinton
town hall to see a similar lift in
operation.
As explained at Blyth village
council meeting Nov. 11, the lift
would be much cheaper to main
tain than a full elevator because of
the cost of annual inspection fees.
Inspection and maintenance on the
lift was estimated at about $500 per
year. High inspection costs on
elevators had put some out of use,
council was told.
The recreation committee will
look at the project further at the
December meeting.
