The first issue dealt with the tenders for the installation of the new sound system in the arena, whine the other. dealt with what Mayor - Harry Worsell classified as ex - cessive spending on trips by Recreation Board members attending conferences. o Recreation Director Jane Netzke in- formed the board that only one bid had been received from six contractors con- tacted. According to Netzke the bid was "higher than what the fund raising had been based on placing it over the 520,000 projected cost. - Councilor Elsa Haydon told the board that as far as she was concerned no bid had been accepted because the bid had not come to the board in a sealed envelope. Haydon voiced tier criticism over the " unbrzsinessman-like'" mariner with which the tender was haralled. After a much heated debate the board accepted a Motion calling for the re -tendering of the work. Mayor Harry Worsell criticized the board and in particular individual members for excessive spending by at- tending several conferences that he feels might overlap with regards to educational content. Worsen feels that there 'should be cutbacks on travelling expenses to keep --c, within the budget allocated for con- ferences. Councillor Haydon countered that such conferences were necessary to attend for ' the educational benefit to board members and for the valuable input Goderich recreation members can offer to other recreation boards. e "At every conference I haave attended Goderich recreation hasp had the reputation of being progressive in their programs and that individuals attending conferences can aid in furthering municipal affairs." Haydon said. Netzke told the board that enough money wasstill available in the budget and that she did not forsee going over the amount allocated for travelling expenses. John Doherty cautioned the board that if the budget was overspent he would not hesitate to raise the issue in the future.

Rec Board approves gate split The Goderich Recreaton Board ap- proved a 60-40 gate split for one year with the Goderich Intermediate Hockey League to help the league through its building period_ The split replaces the rental fee charged to adult groups and should help the financially troubled league build up fan support and increase revenue. The board also approved a proposal from a local squash group for the use of the municipal daycare centre. The board granted the rent free use of the centre for one year. According to a spokesman for the group the rent free space will accommodate a fold -up court which the group is pur- chasing for approximately $20,000 and help the group to establish a membership in Goderich. Board members supported the proposal because they feel that squash could become a popular sport in the town and that they feel if the group is willing to pay the operating and installation costs the board . should be willing to help for the upstart period by providing a rent free facility. Goderich Industrial Fastball League received approval for its plans to build a covered playground area at Agriculture Park. The board commended the league for the work they have done in the park. Slowpitch 'A' teams cautioned BY BRUCE BAKER The Goderich Mens Slowpitch League has three rounds of play this year. In the first and third rounds, we see all teams play within their own division, but in the second round we see complete inter - divisional play. While the second round may still be unpopular with many participants, it is the round'' which will ultimately determine final playoff positions. This year more than in others, any 'A' teams that take their 'B' competition tightly are doomed. Over half of the 'B' division teams are quite capable of beating more than half of the 'A' teams on a normal day, who knows what will happen on a good day. At the new completion of round one in the schedule, the Goderich Bears remain as the only undefeated team in the league. While that outcome in itself may be no surprise, the manner in which it occurred cannot be overlooked. Of their seven victories; three were blow -outs, two were by six runs or less and two were by two runs or less. Humour has it that some of the 'B' teams might just stay home when it is their turn to play the Bears. Lets set the record straight. Comparing runs scored to runs allowed in seven games. the Bears post a 100 to 28 ad- vantage. while the Bulldogs score 88 to 42 and the Goderich Restaurant has 102 to 54' run advantage. At this stage of the game, their bats are not the best. but their defence is. if you still decide to stay home. let it be because you lack confidence in your own. bats. not because you are afraid of their power at the plate. While we are talking stats. the above might demonstrate something that most people forget about when they think slowpitch. This is an offence oriented game, but to date, the best defensive team is the only one that is undefeated. Need 1 say more. Scores around the league this week saw the Renegades defeat Bluewater 12-1, Tickers 11-10 and tie Cobras 18-18. Alvin has these guys planing good ball so don't Turn to page 2A •
