'• / The Brussels Bulls showed little desire to remain in first place in Western Jr. C. Sunday as they dropped a big game to Goderich Sailors. A lack of hustle and desire seemed to be a contagious disease on the Bulls of late. Players seem to figure they must just lace skates on for two points. However, no one has told their apponents this as Bulls dropped their game to Goder­ ich Sailors 7-3. Brussels scored the only goal of Sports Brussels Curling Club ends first draw The first draw of the Brussels Curling Club ended last week. In first place with 46.5 points was the team of Bill Shortreed, Nora Steph­ enson, Bonnie Cole Arnal and Brian Schlosser. Second place with 39.5 points and an aggregate score of 52 was the team of Murray Bone, Jo-Anne McDonald and Bob Alex­ ander. Third place with 39.5 points and an aggregate score of 40 went to Stew Steiss, Annette Lewington, Blyth ball committee can pay rent next year Permission was given by Blyth village councillors at their Dec. 12 meeting for the ball park rental bill for this year’s Blyth Men’s Slow Pitch tournament to be paid after next year’s tournament. The agreement was reached with Darren Richmond, chairman of the tournament committee and David Pattison, treasurer of the commit­ tee who appeared before council objecting to a bill for the rental of the ball diamond received after their books were closed for the year when they had thought they wouldn’t be charged at all. The tournament was held Aug. 9-12 but the bill for $307 didn’t arrive until Thanksgiving, Mr. Richmond told council. By then the committee thought it had paid all its bills and had left only $360 in its account to help pay for start up costs for the tournament next year. The remain­ der of the money had been given to the village to pay the remainder of the costs on the renovation of the George Radford Ball Diamond. The point of contention in the meeting revolved around whether the bill should have been sent or not. Mr. Richmond said the com­ mittee had never been charged for use of the diamonds before. They understood this was because all proceeds from the tournament went back into park improvements. Councillor Steven Sparling said that as one of the members of the Blyth Recreation Committee he had had several meetings with Mr. Richmond over the issue. He had asked Mr. Richmond to find some­ one who could verify the existence of some sort of agreement, written or verbal, that the group was not to be charged a rental fee. If no agreement could be found then there was some misunderstanding in the past and the bills should have been issued all along and this bill should be paid, he said. Meanwhile he had spoken to two past councilllors who had served on the recreation committee for years and they could recall no agree- the first period as Corey McKee scored from Paul Brophy at 10:17. Goderich scored the next three goals in the second period as Barry Thompson scored with assists go­ ing to Jason Million and Jason McNichol at 17:57. Jason McNichol scored an unassisted goal at 2:32. With only 32 seconds remaining in the second Shawn Talbot scored from Richard Bowman and Jeff Gough. The Bulls got one back early in the third as Ron Strome scored on a pass from Corey McKee and Jamie Gibbings at Jim Patterson and Glen Warwick. The Ladies Curling Club also ended the first draw of the season. First place with 39 points went to the team of Fran Bremner, Evelyn Blake, Sherri Howatt and Pauleen Kerkhof. Second place with 36.5 points went to Velma Locking, Valerie Shortreed and Mary Bern­ ard. Third place with 35 points went to the team of JoAnn McDon­ ald, Brenda LintoiT, Agnes Whar­ ton and Debbie Root. ment. He pointed out that rental rates of village-owned facilities were set only to recover the costs of main­ taining the facility and therefore everyone who uses the building should pay for it. Service groups like the Lions Club which donate large amounts of money to facilities still pay, he said. Mr. Pattison said that he had been on the committee for five years and the group had never got a bill before. Reeve Albert Wasson said there should have been bills if there was no agreement otherwise. Mr. Pattison said since some other groups got the use of the ball diamonds with the rental of the arena for the weekend his group thought it had been included in the arena rental. That notion bothered Councillor Dave Lee who wondered why the recreation committee bothered to set a rental rate for tournaments if it wasn’t being paid. Reeve Wasson suggested the solution that the group be allowed to wait until after next year’s tournament to pay its bill. “I can’t see sending you to jail if you don’t pay but you still owe the bill,” he said. Councillors also agreed that there would be no interest charged on the back bill. K’-l.4r -t-sz- A \ I Wk p-—-— Celebrate! 18:13.
