The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-07-28, Page 7(1, League lacks fellowship Dear Editor, Three years ago a new ball league was formed in Goderith. It is called the Goderich Ladies' Slow -Pitch league and it now consists of seven teams, an.executive, a tournament committee and a lot of hard working, dedicated coaches and umpires that help make the League. Goderich SHOULD be -roud of us? But now we seem to be running into a lot of disputes, grodges, a hatred, back - stabbing, gossiping and the fundamentals or the potential of the SPORT are completely forgotten' There is no FkeLLOWSHIP. SPORTSMANSHIP and no• fun. , Mistakes can be made: and fair arguments, opinions, reasoning, changes and sound judgements -are Th 6 LETTERS needed for bettering our league, All these should be voiced at our open and general meetings at a. c-ommittee Level, not like at a --war table". More order and FRIENDSHIP should happen at our RECREATIONAL meetings. Another important thing that our league needs is full support, respect and representation from our own home teams in out-of-town tournaments. I was thoroughly embarrassed by some of the teams in the League during the Formosa slow -pitch tournament last weekend. We need each' other's support in order to bring back our prizes, trophies and recognition back to our home town. I have been told that the only problem. with being a --good span- is that you have to lose to prove it., Let's make this a fun -filled game, a chance to keep fit, a chance to make new friends, a chance to better ow -selves. and let's show our children what it is like to play in an adult activity instead of letting our children shoW us how to play ball! Marilyn Aubin, A Goderich Ladies' Slow -Pitch League Player. s for the hospitality Dear Editor, We are delighted . and proud to have been a par- ticipant in exhibiting in your annual "Festival of the Arts and Crafts" in Goderich July 22- 24. We wish to commend you on the very fine _ way your Festival was organized from the friendly welcoming at the registration desk to the continued interest shown to us throughout the exhibition. The kit with enclosures was greatly appreciated in- cluding the "Exhibitor" sticker. We enjoyed and appreciated the party and luncheon at MacKay Centre on North Street and realize how much planning and work was involved. We wish you continued success in future festivals. Thank you for your hospitality. Cordially, • Stewart D. Thaler, Grace ( MacMath) Thaler. Generosity apprecla. ted Dear Editor, One year ago the Signal - Star wrote an article about the Homestead Group Home. At that time, we had only temporary Licence to operate the home under the Ministry of ContailtWity' ''''''''''' • Service. We are pleased to announce that the Homestead has been granted a permanent licence with high standing. We would like to thank the Goderich community for their support through our first year. As well, we ap- preciate the co-operation shown by both Public and Separate School Systems. We thank our families and friends for their supportive encouragement. Two community clubs deserve special mention - The-- Roy-ar Catiadiai"Utton Branch 109 and the Goderich Optimist Club. Because of the donation from the Legion, we purchased and installed a dishwasher. This equipment allowed us to meet the health regulations of the Ministry of Com- munity and Social Services as well as further allowing us to increase the number of children to five. Through the generosity of the Optimist Club, we were able to pur- chase camping and canoeing gear for our summer recreation Program. -The . generosity' and con- cern shown by both organizations and the community is greatly ap- preciated by the staff and children of the Homestead Group Home. Sincerely. Ms. BettY Bedard, Director. Looking for new officers Dear Editor, The coming training year of this cadet unit will be commencing in September.
