(Shelley McPhee Haist photo) Over 30 teams affected by arena ice breakdown By David Emslie BLYTH - Over 30 teams have been af- fected by the January 6 breakdown of the ice plant.at the arena here. "The brine chiller broke on them," Blyth Councillor Bill Howson explained. "It's go- ing to be about January 26 before the new chiller is in. Originally they thought it would be the twenty-second or twenty-third." Included in those left without ice to play their sports on are 17 broomball teams, six teams from the Maitland Valley hockey league, two hockey teams from the ('hris- tian Reformed league, seven minor hockey teams And figure skaters. A major broom - ball tournament scheduled to rein from January 21 to 25 has also had to be cancelled. The total repair hill to replace the 20 -year- old part will be between $23,000 and $24,000, Mr. Howson noted. He said that while other parts of the ice plant are equally old, a preventative maintenance program is carried out yearly to stay on top of any problems that may oc- cur. Unfortunately, this was one component of the machine that could not be checked as it was an inside tube that rusted through. "The sad part is, if we had a breakdown we always hoped it would be in mid-January (with the cold weather), brit this couldn't have come at a worse time," Councillor Howson said. Arena co -manager Murray Black said that the teams have been fortunate in fin- ding other arenas to carry out their sports. He added, "If this I colder) weather keeps up, we'll have it ( ice) here." c. Kindergarten Registration For students who will be attending..e.

BLYTH - The Blyth Tykes travelled to Luckri 1ddavy night for an exhibition game. Luc heard they were good, but even with eight and nine year olds on their team, Blyth held their own and came home with a victory win of 5-4. Considering Blyth had not been on the ice for two weeks (due to the break -down of the ice machine) it did not take them long to get back in the swing .of things. Four goals were scored by Lucknow; two in the first period and two in the second, but goaltender, Darryl Bromley, who had stop- ped many others said, "No More". First goal for Blyth was by Jeff Cowan, followed by a second one assisted by Aman- da Anderson. Six minutes remaining in the second period and defenseman, Corey Shan- non crossed the blue line shot, and scored, making the score 4-3. Entering into the third period Blyth was just getting warmed up. Seven minutes re - maining Jeff Cowan shot the puck to defenseman Shane Burkholder, who had positioned himself in front of the net, caught the puck, shot and scored bringing it to a tie of 4-4. With only two and a half minutes left in the game Jeff Cowan scored the deciding goal. The next game was Saturday in Clinton. First and second periods passed' with numerous shots at both nets but to no avail. Goaltepder Shane Burkholder was on his toes, stopping the.puck,before it could sneak by with excellent help from the defence. The team worked together, passing the puck and showing their skills as never before. This was one of their best games, showing how well they have improved since the first of the season. One and a half minutes into the third period Mark "Sparky" Wilson crossed the blue line, shooting the puck, it glided smoothly across the ice into the net followed by Mark himself. Mark Mut grinning from ear to ear and his stick in the air. With only three and a half minutes re- maining in the game, Clinton gave it one more try. Defenseman Corey Shannon was ready, knocking the puck away, both players fell, sliding past the net only for the Clinton player to swing back and catch the puck with his stick. It slid petween Shane's legs to make a tie of 1-1. Excitement was mounting with two and a half minutes left in the game when Mark "Sparky" Wilson shot the puck from out of the right wing scoring, for a victory of 2-1. Tyke players are Ronnie Abel-Rinn, Amanda Anderson, Greg Blois, _ Jason Badley, Darryl Bromley, S`h'ane Burkholder, Michael Courtney, Scott Bromley, Jeff • Cowan, Jeff Ferguson, Michael Haggitt, Jeff Johnston, Corey Shan- non, Mark Wilson and Coach Barry Bromley. layoffs begin at school By Kevin Souch BLYTH — The intermural volleyball at Blyth Public School is over and they will now be starting their playoffs.

School Dance By Kelly Cook For the second year in a row the senior grades at Blyth School are rockin' back to the '50s. A '50s dance was held at noon hour on January 16, organized and run by the stu- dent council. All students were encouraged to dress and dance like they did in the fabulous '50s. There were pop and chips available and everyone had a groovy time. Kathy's in hospital, waiting. By Kathy Bromley BLYTH - As I have been told numerous times by my brothers and sisters, concern- ing my so called "wit" or style of humor, that I need my head read. Well, I'm here now and actually undergoing the process, but not necessari- ly for that particular reason! For anyone who followed my essays in November on "Epilepsy — It's Not What You Think," you may recall the tests I would be undergoing in the spring. Well, what can I say, but spring has ob- viously arrived early, at least from this aspect of it. I am not situated in the same room at London's University Hospital as the young lad from Holland was in: I was hoping to interview him. U fortunately for me, but great for him, his recovery after the surgery for his seizures was nothing short of miraculous, considering he was out in five days following the brain surgery! I can recall having my tonsils removed 18 years ago and I remained in the hospital January SALE NOW ON We service what we sell DRY SI ALE MAJOR APPLIANCES CENTRE LTD, HENSALL Orttair'io 262-2728 CLOSED MONDAYS "The Plate fir Buy Ap il"rr rreefr" THE BLYTH STANDARD BZ7ai',AT�as PCTi Robert Worsell Plumbing Heating Sales & Service Box 68, Auburn 526-7597 H.T.

Though every operation is considered major, I am sure that removal of the ton- sils would seem mild opposed to working with such a tender and sensitive area as the human brain. As the brain controls every movement you make or anything you say or do, anything could be affected afterwards. Fortunately the best brain surgeons in the world are here. Apparently though, as sen- sitive as it is, the brain heals very quickly, as opposed to having surgery anywhere else. At the moment, I am hooked up to an electroenceplalagraph, more commonly referred to as an EEG machine. What makes it so unique now, as corn - pared to just a few years ago, is the fact that the machine doesn't have to he recor- ding at all times, showing your brain waves. We are also connected to a com- puterized tape recorder that tapes everything that occurs. Then, during a seizure, the nurse will record the time PECK APPLIANCES 1eIN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARNA" •FILTER QUEEN SALES & SERVICE •VACUUM CLEANERS (Solos & Service to Most Makes) • FM COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS (For Farm & Business) • WHIRLPOOL APPLIANCES •WOODS FREEZERS •CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEMS •WHIRLPOOL and SHARP MICROWAVES •GIFTS & MANY MORE ITEMS VARNA., ON T 4821103 • • shown on the tape recorder at the time of occurrance.. The eurologists can then play the tape back to the specific time mentioned and your brain waves are then pointed out on the EEG machine. This then helps the doc- tors to determine the general area or areas that are affected by the seizures. Usually, approximately five seizures will give the neurologists the sufficient data that is required. Of course, the longer it takes to have enough seizures to give the doctors the required information, the longer you remain a patient. I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but unfortunately, I haven't experienced ' any seizures as of yet. 1 hope they begin soon. (maybe 1 should use reverse psychology 1 So, I've sent this article to update everyone on my status. Maybe by trying to have this done for a specific time to send back with my husband, Bev, will get me worked up and will help induce seizures. Once this stage has been completed, you advance to the second stage. This is where you are informed of the area/areas of the brain affected by the seizures and if surgery is recommended. I won't even begin to think of that though, for I have this hurdle to get over first. I wish to inform my readers that (unfor- tunately ), I'm feeling great -getting lots of sleep and eating much better than I had while at home -contemplating my stay at the hospital. Apparently, I'm feeling too good and the seizures haven't been set off like they are while I'm under stress. But, it sure is nice being waited on hand and foot for a change: Hope to be back soon.
