After a lengthy discussion, and input from the public, the Bulls executive voted to keep the team running in Brussels. Those in attendance examined four options for next year which included folding the team, selling it to Palmerston, taking a year or two leave of absence, or continuing to operate the team in Brussels next year. Regarding the sale of the team to Palmerston the group was presented with a cash offer. However, the Bulls would have been responsible for the transfer fee with no guarantee that the transfer would be accepted. Not only would the clubs in the Western Jr C loop need to approve the move but any OHA team within Brittany Kellington and Brook Wheeler of Brussels, as members of the Saugeen Maitland Lightning PeeWee Girls hockey team, competed at the world's largest female hockey tournament in Brampton this past weekend. The 31st annual Brampton Canadettes' tournament had close to 6,000 players and 380 teams Ask almost any longtime angler and they'll probably say how great the fishing was in the good old days. But, with provincial lakes and rivers giving up more record size fish, more frequently, the shine on the good old days may be fading. Conservation efforts of the last three decades have been paying off handsomely. Cleaner water, restored spawning habitat and good conservation laws mean larger, healthier fish in bigger numbers! The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters keeps the Ontario Record Fish Registry which, in recent months, has seen a number of new entries. And, since 1980, the Lake Ontario watershed has yielded seven new records, including the Atlantic salmon, brown trout, chinook salmon, long nose gar, river redhorse and shorthead redhorse. In comparison, Lake Huron has produced seven records in the past 18 years, including the pumpkin- seed, the rainbow trout, smelt, lake sturgeon, whitefish, muskelunge and the silver redhorse. the 50 km overlap between the Brussels and Palmerston drawing area would have a veto over the move. It was felt this provision made the sell to Palmerston quite risky. The team could have requested a one or two year leave of absence from the OHA. If no release fees were requested for current players their rights would remain with the Bulls when the club resumed action. Many felt that if the club ceased to operate, interest would wane and the club wouldn't start up again. Several members of the public at the meeting indicated they would be willing to help out next year. Steve Coulter said he is willing to manage the club and he has two individuals interested in coaching next year. This new interest in helping the club and a solution to the manager/coaching situation was the competing. Among these were 100 American teams. Wheeler's mother, Brenda, said the girls were proud to have tied Aylmer, Que. 0-0. When they met Kitchener, they pulled the goalie and Kitchener scored with 19 seconds left in the game to make it 1-0. It was round robin play, so with Brampton winning against Aylmer Lake Erie has given up five records, including the black crappie, the bluegill, walleye, white crappie and yellow perch. Two records have come from the Lake Superior since 1980, the pink salmon and lake trout. In total there are 50 species eligible to be entered as record fish in Ontario. "With conservation efforts we are seeing a marked improvement in fish habitat. We are employing Continued on page 14 impetus the current executive needed to keep the team in Brussels. Financially the Bulls are in the black and some fundraising is in place for next year. The influx of new interested people to help out turned the tide in favour of the Bulls staying in Brussels. However, some of the current executive indicated they wished to retire from their current positions. In order to/get the club off to a good start for next year tae annual meeting will be moved up to April 30 instead of early June. This will allow a new executive to be in place to begin planning for next year. This meeting will be held at the BMG Community Centre at 8 p.m. Anyone interested in helping out is asked to attend. New enthusiastic people are needed for the executive so the team is ready to begin in September. and Kitchener they were the team to advance to the finals. The girls were thrilled to be at the ceremony honouring Cassie Campbell, of Canada's Olympic hockey team. Campbell is an alumnus of the Brampton Canadette games. Her sweater bearing number 77 was retired and raised to the rafters. Also on hand was her Team Canada teammate, Leslie Reddon. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1998. PAGE 9.
