However, Reeve Dave Lee and Councillor Eugene Coburn did meet as repre- sentatives of council to discuss a question that had been brought to council with regards to the ball dia- mond project. At the last meeting of council a letter was read from an electrical contractor asking council why his company had been asked to tender for a job that was given to someone who did not tender. Councillors at that time noted that they were under the impression that the pro- ject, which had been undertaken by the Blyth baseball leagues, would be done by volunteer labour. Confused, councillors agreed they should arrange a meeting with the ball league representatives to clear up the issue. A letter was sent to the represen- tatives requesting them to attend the Sept. 1 meeting. Five people were in attendance. Reeve Lee said that while the vil- lage appreciated the work the teams had done at the north ball park, they had received a complaint that "puts us in a bad light. We would just like an explanation." Council was told that the leagues had not asked for tenders, but had simply done some shopping oes Coo(11‘t 6 saw. 0 se c, gc vo Oct' Councillor Coburn. He and Reeve Lee felt that anoth- er thing for council to consider would be for someone to sit in on the leagues meetings to keep com- munication open. A proper response will be deter- mined at the Sept. 28 meeting of council. Greeters at Blyth United Church Sunday were Fred and Rose deBoer and family. Ushering were Vera Badley and Herb Shannon while Les Rutledge and Harvey Snell took up the offering. Debris Souch was in charge of the nursery and Gwen Papple led the Junior Congregation. Emily Phillips introduced Rev Jack Tolmey and welcomed him on behalf of the congregation. Rev. Tolmey opened the service with call to worship. "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise" was sung. This was followed by the Prayer of Approach. Responsive Psalm was 149, Praise the Lord. "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" was the hymn preceding the children's time. Rev. Tolmey's theme was "Getting Ready For A Journey." The choral hymn, "Why Should He Love Me So?" was sung. On Sept. 15 people are invited to come meet Rev. Jack Tolmey and family. Junior Teen Club (grade 7 and 8) begins Sept. 14 at 7:30 in the church parlour. Messengers will be every Wednesday, after school and Sunday School begins Sept. 12 at 9:45. Rev. Tolmey's sermon title was "God in the Slave Quarters". We must be prepared, he said. How does one prepare for change in one's ministry? Look at your foundation. Building a structure is Continued on page 12 around, asking for prices. "It was no different from going to two stores to see what an article is being sold for," said Dave Patti- son. "It would have been stupid of us not to ask around." Councillor Coburn noted that to tender there would have had to have been time limits, which there was not. Mr. Pattison added that there were no tenders for the entire pro- ject. "On the basis of that council can come up with an answer to this man's concern. Our concern was council's credibility, but if you did- n't tender then speaking for myself I can't see there's any harm done," said Councillor Coburn. Reeve Lee agreed. "We just felt we needed to hear an explanation and thought it should come from you," he said. "I wish I'd known that in the let- ter. I thought we were coining here for a slap on the back and a 'job well done' ", said Mr. Pattison. He questioned council whether it wouldn't perhaps be less hassle if the leagues gave the money to the village and let them do the work. "It would be less friction." "There shouldn't be friction with volunteer labour. Council is thank- ful for the work you've done," said PRI MAININGTON Blyth Minor Hockey Association 1993 - '94 REGISTRATION & EQUIPMENT EXCHANGE Wednesday, September 15 7- 9 p.m. Saturday, September 18 io a.m. - 12 noon Blyth Community Centre • Introducing new carpet lines • Many patterns up to 40% off reg. price Blyth Decorating Centre Ltd.
