Exhibition Volleyball By Laurie Wharton and Debbie Logue A girls' and boys' volleyball team from BPS travelled to Robertson Memorial Public School in Goderich to play a volleyball game with the students of former teacher, Mr. Yeats. Each team had two games. The girls' games were very good. The final scores were 13-15, and 13-15 for Robert- son. The boys played well, but were outplayed by Robertson. The scores were 2-15 and 5-15 for Robertson. Students thank Mr. Livermore and Mr. Yeats for organizing the match. Successful Book Fair By Michelle Nesbit and Andrea Henry The book fair was a great success. Students and parents bought a grand total of $868 in books. In turn, the school will receive 125 books for the library. This was a new experience for our librarian, Karen Webster. She worked hard to make this event a success. The school would like to thank everyone who bought books. Purchase of sanding outfit investigated BLYTH - In business at this month's coun- cil meeting, village foreman, Mery Ritchie, asked council whether they would give any consideration to purchasing a sanding outfit for the town. His request met some im- mediate opposition. "My perspective on this is we don't need to sand as much as we are sanding. A lot of places don't sand off the main thoroughfare," Councillor Manning said. Councillor Bill Howson added that the drivers haveto take some responsibility on the road, and if the village sands all of the time, if they don't get out fast enough during a storm, people won't be able to handle the driving. Another point against over sanding was raised by Councillor Manning who explain- ed that the village is adding to the death of some trees due to all of the salt and sand used. Before making a final decision on the mat- ter, council will be looking at establishing uses for a new machine, as well as studying figures and prices. Leaf Burning A letter from a ratepayer complaining about people burning leaves on Halloween prompted some discussion by council. Currently, the village has no bylaw on the burning of leaves, and Reeve Albert Wasson commented that if one is put into effect, it will make a lot of extra work for the town as they will have to collect more leaves. As the leaf burning period for 1987 has about passed, council decided to put the matter aside for now. Before making a deci- sion on a bylaw, they will be looking at the whole situation to see what kind of follow up is in order. Recreation Grant The village has received their annual $6,000 recreation grant. Council decided to allocate the grant money the same as they did in 1986. Therefore, $3,100 will go to the Memorial Hall, $500 to the Lions Club, $800 to minor hockey, $700 to minor ball and $800 to figure skating. Mullett removes lots from register HULLETT TWP - Three bylaws were passed by council here on November 3 to remove plans which aren't being used from the register. The three plans for lots have been on the register for a number of years, but they have not been used for residential purposes. Council felt the planned lots would probably not be used for this purpose, and moved to take them out of the register. The removal concerned Lots 1 to 6 and 15 to 20 of Registered Plan No. 140, at Lot 6, Concession 1 of the township; all lots of Plan 260, located at Lot 17, Concession 9; and all lots of Plan No. 304, located at Lot 33, Con- cession 7. In other business council moved to in- struct the road superintendent to contact Ken Dunn of Burns Ross and Associates to do a bridge check to determine if and when repair or reconstruction is required. This maintenance ehPek will he tarried out to give council a rough idea of when the township bridges might need work so they might set up a long term plan. Council also passed a motion to apply to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) for their consulting services in the adoption of the Pay Equity Plan set by the Province of Ontario. AMO offers this ser- vice to help smaller municipalities set up the plan.
