In their opener at Port Elgin, the Ironmen fell victim to the Bears by a 13,5 score, while the Hanover Barons were 13-3 winners in the home opener Wingham. Last week the club fared little better, losing 6-1 at Kincardine and 10-7 to the Bears in a return visit. at The Wingham Advance -Times, Oct. 16, 1985—Page 15 u''cU .LLQ i pset wasn't on hiring Upset that the Wingham Recreation Board has hired a full-time secretary without consulting council, town council last week gave the board a slap on the wrist — but stopped short of rescinding the action. In a motion which passed by a margin of 4-3, with Mayor William Harris voting to break a tie, council agreed to acknowledge the hiring while indicating the whole matter will be subject to review in next year's budget. As indicated by the vote, not all councillors were happy with the resolution. Councillor James A. Currie in particular opposed the compromise, which came after his motion to hand the matter over to the incoming council had failed by the same 4-3 vote. Since this council is nearing the end of its term of office, it would be com- mitting the next council to pay for a new employee, he noted. He also criticized the board's action. "This (the secretary) was a temporary full-time thing for the summer. They have proceeded to go ahead and make a commitment without consultation." All boards should consult council before hi ring any full-time employees, Mr. Currie declared, noting that once a position has been added it is much harder to get rid of it. - He was supported by Councillor Bruce Machan, who said the board should at least have asked council's advice on the matter. "They hire a secretary and hen turn around and ask rmission," he said, later dding, "There's got to be a eprimand somewhere. verything's out of whack!" Councillor Jerry Chomyn so asked questions about e need for a secretary and how much it would add to the recreation budget. Councillors Douglas Switzer and Tom Miller, council's representatives on the recreation board, defended the decision. Mr. Switzer explained that with the increasing number of programs as well as night school courses], the board feels there is tdo much work for a part-time secretary. It also feels the recreation director's time could be better used in areas other than secretarial work. He estimated the cost of a full-time secretary at $13,600 per year, plus benefits, and said he thought it could be accommodated within the board's budget. Mr. Miller added that the recreation director feels he cannot continue offering as many programs without a full-time secretary. The programs all pay for them- selves, he said, and some even make money. That's fine, Mr. Chomyn responded, but council has responsibility to the town as a whole, "not just a couplele Bloemberg presses hundred taking programs." He said he did not doubt the as rookie in Junior A down to a judgment call on the part of the board," he said-, suggesting council should support the judgment call but indicate it must be subject to close scrutiny at budget time. This did not satisfy Mr. Currie, who accused Mr. Kopas of looking ahead to the upcoming election. "That's campaigning talk!" he declared. "You're trying to have it both ways and that's not possible!" He called the budget review "just smoke", pointing out the secretary has already been hired. However Mr. Kopas said the motion to hire did not indicate the position would be permanent. The compromise motion squeaked through. However in the wake of this dispute and with the meeting nearing the four -and -a -half- hour mark, council had scant patience with a follow-up motion from the recreation board proposing to give the a ■ recreation director, Rennie Alexander, a $1,000 bonus for his work organizing night classes. Mr. Switzer explained the night classes were an ad- ditional duty taken on by the rec director and, in addition, had made a profit for the board of $2,700. However that was not enough to convince a majority 6f councillors. Saying he had disagreed with the bonus when it was first given last year, "and even more this time around," Mr. Chomyn pointed out there 'are other town employees who also do additional work and it is not fair to give a bonus only to one just because some programs made money. "They're great pro- grams", he said, "but 'the whole concept (of the bonus) is wrong, unless you're prepared to do it for every employee in town. The motion was defeated by a vote of 5-2. director would find a secretary useful. "Probably every depart- ment in town would find a full-time secretary useful, but I don't know," he said, shaking his head. "It's very quickly changing from a volunteer department to a paid department, isn't it." Mr. Switzer argued that recreation has hired secretaries before, though the position became full-time only for a few months this summer when the depart- ment obtained a special grant. He also reported that other communities have full -, ii time secretaries i recreation. However Mr. Chomyn, looking over the names on e list, pointed out that arly all the towns sur- yed are larger than ngham, ranging in size all Friday from 10:30 to 11:30 th a.m. Ba niaye ne Parents' and tots' skating s start ve will begin.

Councillor Jack Kopas tried to mediate the dispute, ing there "seem to be ddied waters" regarding oard's powers. "It boils The Wingham Bantams started their year off on a winning . note, defeating Mindamoya 9-2 in exhibition play. Brett Martin chalked up, the first goal of the season on a first -period play from Corey McKee- and Jeff Tolton. Rick Leachman scored from Chris Michie and Mike Cullen to give Wingham a 2-0 lead at the end of one period. The second period saw Paul Brophy notch the first goal of his hat trick, assisted by Bill Kinahan and Jason Coultes, McKee scored from Martin three minutes later to give the home team a 4-0 edge. Tthe third period was scoreless until Martin scored f rom McKee and Kinahan at say the 11:11 mark. Minda- mu rnoya's first goal came at a b 6:59 and signalled the start of a barrage of goal -scoring. Brophy dashed in less than a minute later to score unassisted and, in a play from centre ice, McKee scored from Dave Hein- - miller 12 seconds later. In the final minutes of the game Leachman scored from Martin before Min- damoya bounced back to score its second goal. Then in the dying seconds Brophy scored from Kinahan to give Wingham a 9-2 victory. Mindamoya was in the area playing exhibition games against Port Elgin, Shallow Lake, Owen Sound, Kincardine and Wingham in a pre -season workout for the team. 41 Bowling Scores MON.

During a 6-2 victory by North Bay over the' Kit- chener Rangers recently, Bloemberg caught the eye of K -W Record hockey (writer Fran Campbell, who described him as a "blue chip prospect" and talked to Centennials' Coach Bert Templeton after the game. Templeton called Bloem- berg "a very coachable kid," adding, "He's a good listener and when there's something to be learned he's paying attention, not goofing off like some guys do." The coach credited North Bay scout John Trempe for landing the big defenceman: , "I never saw the kid (Bloemberg) play. John Trempe kept telling me about him and that we should grab him if the opportunity arose. Considering he was with a B team (Listowel Cyclones) that didn't do much, Bloemberg has been the surprise of our draft." Listed at six -foot -two, 205 pounds, Bloemberg was the 430th player selected in the draft last summer. Accord- ing to Campbell he can also shoot the puck well for a rookie, blasting a pair of screened shots past Mike Volpe in the Ranger net for his initial OHL goals. 'The news will come as little surprise to local hockey fans who had a chance to watch Bloemberg daring his years in the Wingham Minor Hockey system. Two years ago as a Midget he played up with the Wingham Royals of the Intermediate league, impressing observers with his skills and especially his poise and heads -up play against the older skaters. He is the son of Rudy and Louise Bloemberg of RR 4, Wingham WORKING WITH THE GOALIES—Ray Baynton and Murray Foxton worked with the young goaltenders at the Wingham Minor Hockey School this week, coaching them on how to prepare for a shot and cover the angle.
