Ethel children get ball team
For the first time in almost a
decade they're playing ball in Ethel.
Thanks to the efforts of commu
nity minded individuals and service
groups, the Ethel ball park has
undergone some updating and
upgrading to accommodate the
growing population of young peo
ple in the hamlet, who are interest
ed in having their own minor ball
program.
Grey Twp. Clerk-Treasurer Brad
Knight says that in addition to the
initiatives taken by parents, the
Brussels Optimists and Lions have
been very supportive in getting the
project going. The park, he says,
was in a rather dilapidated state,
but this past weekend renovations
were done to bring it up to stan
dards. A new backstop and screen

CKNX and was included in the
Dungannon column in the Lucknow
Sentinel, and that Reeve Hallam
knew about it.
Councillor Elliott replied that
because the reeve knew about it
didn't mean the whole council did.
"It wouldn't have been hard to call
the councillors."
Ms Grierson tried to placate
Elliott by saying that the meeting
was an organizational one to find
out if a coalition group would have
the support of the community.
Council verbally agreed to give
support to the coalition group
through access to township records,
and assistance with obtaining
information they may need from
county and provincial bodies.
Minutes from the meeting read,
"No motion of council to indicate
its position on the question was put
forward at this time."
No commitment was given to the
request for financial support. "We
have to look at what the long-term
implications could be if we provide
financial support to this group,"
said Foster.
The coalition group has
designated specific areas of impact
to be examined by individuals who
will report at the group's next
meeting on June 24, 8 p.m. al the
