Blyth Tykes end year with only 2 losses The Blyth Tykes have had a fabulous year, ending the season this past weekend in a playoff tournament in Seaforth. There have been many improvements in these players and their hockey skills throughout the season. The team has played in two tournaments during the season, one in Zurich, the other in Clinton. They won the "B" in Clinton edging out Dorchester 5 - 3. In the entire season's schedule they have lost just two games; one to Seaforth early in the season, the other to Wingham. They came back later in the season to beat Seaforth and again in a shoot-out at the WOAA finals. Quite a record! In the final round of the WOAA Blyth came up against Clinton and lost in a hard fought game ending 5 to 3. The team had the parents and spectators on their feet during many close games during the season. Thanks to coach Jeff Peters for his time and "extra" effort and the assistants Steve Cook, Doug McClinchey and Ken Stewart. It was a great season. Brussels Novices end successful year The Brussels Novice House- league finished the season on March 24 with their final game against Belgrave. They had advanced to the fmals by defeating Stephen Township and the Zurich Novice teams. Playing against the high scoring Belgrave team on March 19 Brussels lost by a score of 9 - 5. Brussels' goals were scored by Brian Oldfield with assists going to Stephen Todd and Robert Kerr. March 22, the game was played in Belgrave and again Brussels was beaten, this time by a score of 9-2. Scoring for Brussels were Andy Van Beek and Kerr. Taking the honours for Belgrave were the scoring trio of Curtis Knight, two; Craig Marks, three and Justin Campbell, three. The three also tallied the assists. The third game of the series was played in Brussels on March 24. The Brussels team played a very strong and aggressive game but were defeated by Belgrave 6-4. Greeters at Duffs United Church March 28 were Kelly and Scott McDonald. The Lenten Liturgy was read by Brenda Linton and daughter Stacie, who extinguished the fifth candle. The choir sang a very moving song called, "Stay With Us". Before going downstairs to Sunday School the kids gathered around Rev. Banks to hear more of Noah's story. The gospel lesson reader was Shelly McGavin who read John 11: 17-45, the Death of Lazarus. Harvey McClure shares spring memories I had a visit with Harvey McClure the other day and I asked if he had any special memories of spring. The next day, after being up most of the night thinking about this, he presented me with a three page letter. In it were stories of him and his brother, Sam. He remembers the times when at last they could turn the cows out to pasture, how happy the cows were to eat green grass. As a kid he used to like rounding them up for milking and to hear all the birds that had come back in spring. Goals for Brussels were scored by Oldfield (2), Kerr and Chris Coulter. Campbell and Marks divided scoring for Belgrave. Great goaltending by Travis Campbell helped to keep the Brussels team back. Matt McCall and Matt Elliott shared Brussels goaltending duties for all the games. Congratulations to both teams for a good year and for an exciting playoff season. Members of the Brussels Novice were Brian Oldfield, Stephen Todd, Chris Coulter, Darryl Houston, Scott McDonald, Chris Blake, Marc Fisher, Lee Dilworth, Kenny McCallum, Tim Harrison, Mark Hunter, Robert Kerr, Darrell McClure, Andy Van Beek, Matthew Clarkson, Matt Elliott and Matt McCall. Other players for Belgrave were Chad Cook, Garrett Knight, Devin Moffatt, Ken McCracken, Dan Mullin, Matthew Bromley and Travis Hopper. The sermon was titled "What do we do with Death?" It was interesting to note how the story gave a glimpse of first century funeral customs. Also that grief and pain are always a part of death then as now. The overall message is - Death is not to be feared; that in life and death we belong to God, who can redeem us even from death. The Lenten collection jar swelled as people put in five cents per year of life. Next week it will be two cents per light bulb in the house. The U.C.W. will have a food booth at the McGavin sale on April 7. Karen Hoegy and Marilyn McDonald will be contacting people to help. The U.C.W. meeting has been rescheduled to May. Following is a religious joke I'd like to share. In Boston, a minister noticed a group of boys standing around a small stray dog, "What are you doing boys?" "Telling lies, said one. "The one who tells the biggest lie gets the dog." "Why, when I was your age," the shocked minister said, "I never thought of telling a lie." The boys looked at each other, a little crestfallen. Finally one of them shrugged and said, "I guess he wins the dog." Grey council awards gravel contracts Grey Township council held its regular meeting on March 22 and awarded two gravel contracts. The tender of Donegan's Haulage for the supply, crushing and hauling of 11,500 cubic yards "A" gravel at $3.04 yard was accepted. The Donegan tender, amounting to $37,407.20 was the lowest of seven received. The tender of John McKercher Construction for the loading and trucking of 15,000 cubic yards "A" gravel at $1.39/yard was accepted.

In 1993, Grey Township will receive $455,100 from the Ministry of Transportation based on expenditures of $589,000. Council passed a 1993 budget of road expenditures amounting to $675,000. In other business, Council authorized a grant of $50 to the Huron County Farm & Home Safety Association for 1993.

Don and Marilyn McDonald celebrated 40 years of marriage on March 28. They were married at Whitechurch and remembered being driven around on a flatbed truck after the wedding. Don recalls how they were all set to leave on their honeymoon and the car wouldn't start. Lifting the hood he found a block of Limburger cheese on the manifold. Bill Blake called to say Mildred is recovering well at the Clinton Hospital. Ken and Peg Banks spent two days at the home of Rev. Randy and Patty Banks. Isabelle Shortreed had a visit from her grandson, Scott Beuermann on Saturday.
