PAGE 17. Council warns drivers about stop sign changes By Pat Livingston Drivers travelling in the vicinity of St. Augustine are being cautioned to watch for a change in stop signs. Effective May 7 at 12 noon, the stop signs will be changed at the St. Augustine intersection of Sideroad 24-25 and Concession road 6-7. Traffic will now be required to stop on Concession 6-7, where the new stop signs will be erected. Sideroad traffic will have the through right- of-way. Joan Armstrong, West Wawanosh Township clerk, said the change was necessitated due to a Huron County wayside pit located at lot 24, south of St. Augustine. County gravel trucks, hauling from the pit, are running north on the sideroad to County Road 20, which is under construction. After discussion between West Wawanosh council and the county highways department, it was deemed prudent to change the stop signs. Mrs. Armstrong explained that traffic approaching from the easterly end of the county road quite often travels at excess speed and drivers fail to realize as they crest the hill a stop sign is within 150 to 200 feet. While the county gravel trucks would be required to stop; the fact is the speed of a loaded gravel truck, taking off from a complete stop, would be less than optimum to make a quick crossing at the intersection. Mrs. Armstrong said speed limits will also be posted at 60 km/hr. Residents and those who use these two roads in the St. Augustine area are asked to drive defensively and alertly. The Brussels Tigers opened their Huron County fastball league schedule with a tie against l.ieury and travelled to Blyth Monday night. Their next home game is this Sunday against the defending league champion Seaforth Bears. Last year the Tigers finished in first place and, despite the addition of a new entry from Brussels called the Bulldogs, feel confident of another excellent season of ball. Returning pitchers include Doug Conley and Todd Uhrig with Murray Pipe handling the catching duties. Brian TenPas, Ken Higgins and Mike Watson will patrol the outfield while the infield is anchored by Dan McKay, Doug Shaw, Pete Exel, and Kevin Kellington. Verne Bridge and Gary Pipe give the Tigers a major advantage over opposing teams by being equally at home in the outfield or infield positions. Sean Colquhoun is the newest member of the team while Dave Smith signed a multi-year contract with the Bulldogs and Paul Thompson is undecided about playing. Upper management positions are held by Doug McArter while Todd Wheeler and Hugh Nichol return as field bosses. Brussels fans will be treated to double headers throughout the summer as the Tigers have scheduled their home games for Sundays at 7:30 p.m. with the Bulldogs following at 9:00 p.m. BRUSSELS TIGERS HOME SCHEDULE Sun., May 16 C4th Bears 30 Blyth Decor June 6 C4tlTigers 13 Exeter 20 Blyth Soundproof 27 Bulldogs July 4 Walton 11 C4th Coops 18 Francistown All games 7:30 start.
