Go that-a-way, a third base coach says as he signals his runner to go all the way for home during action in the Brussels Bulls' Slo-Pitch tournament on the weekend. Woodstock Gumbys won the championship. v Blyth recreation agreement approved A draft of the recreation agree­ ment for the Blyth and District Community Centre was approved by Blyth village council September 8 with final adoption awaiting approval of the surrounding muni­ cipalities. Councillor Bill Howson, one of Blyth council’s representatives on the committee said the by-law is really just putting down in black and white what has been the agreement all along. He said one of the four township councils involv­ ed could still vote against the proposalbuttherehavebeen no indications that any of them plans to. Helen Grubb, village clerk-trea­ surer told council it was important to get everything spelled out because the other municipalities could drop out of the agreement at any time and leave Blyth holding the bag for the entire operation of the arena because it is situated in Blyth. Councillor Howson said that Blyth’s percentage of the cost of running the building could also increase in years ahead if the number of people living on farms continues to decline. The percen­ tages have been put up on a basis of use by people from the municipali­ ties, he said, and there is a provision for review of the break­ down every three years. Councillor Howson praised the work of Melanie McLaughlin of the Ministry of Tourism and Recrea­ tion in helping the board draft their by-law. She attended three or four meetings and gave an awful lot of help, he said. He recalled the first meeting she attended when she surprised the board members by sending them home with home­ work to be completed before the next meeting. He suggested coun­ cil should send alerter of apprecia­ tion once the by-law was finally approved. to gjit’s Al) in the CLASSIFIEDS PUT Woodstock win Brussels tournament The Woodstock Gumbys captur­ ed the “A” championship and a cash prize of $425 at the Brussels Bulls Slo-pitch Tournament played on the weekend.

Bob Allen, Huron County’s director of education, said that all three Huron candidates in the recent election had been invited to meet with the local group following the election, should they be successful, but that none had repliedprior to the election last Thursday. The local group, consisting of Mr. Allen, other representatives of the Huron County Board of Education, and representatives of three teachers’ federations in the county, are part of the Ontario Public Education Network (OPEN), which was formed last spring as the voice of public education in the province. following the implementation of full funding for separate schools earlier this year and concerned that public education did not seem to be a priority with the provincial government, OPEN intends to lobby government for additional funding for public education, as well as to ask that public funding not be extended to separate schools. The organization was tobe re-evaluated following the Ontario election. The local group has held two meetings to plan its strategy, and will now press for a meeting with Mr. Riddell.
