Hockey team welcomes new general manager It may not feel like hockey season but the first practice is a scant 6 weeks away for the Seaforth Cen- tenaires. President Bob Beutten- miller and the execuuve are pleased to announce the appointment of Gregor Campbell as general manager of the Ontario Hockey Association Junior D League team. Campbell, 41, a local factory worker, photographer and former journalist who is also the executive member of the now -disbanded Seaforth Seahawks senior hockey team, replaces Glen McClure who resigned from the position but remains a member of the juniors' executive. He had been the Cen- tenaires' manager since 1983 and held that post in 1985-86 when the team won its first and only OHA championship. Campbell would like to help win another one. The first step will be put a team on the ice that is competitive game in and game out. The team has missed the playoffs for the past several seasons. "I know these guys and what they can do and we already have the talent locally," Campbell said. "The trick will be to get it working together with a bit more discipline and intensity. They have got to want to. "I'm lucky, somebody else did the dirty work. The team has struggled with a young roster for the past couple of seasons and now is coming of age. Some of these lads may be playing Junior B or Junior A this year and we certainly don't want to stand in the way of their hockey development. But on the other hand I'd prefer to see our local talent play here and help win a championship than go somewhere else and sit on the bench. "The executive and I also have to get the team on a more secure financial footing", "After the past couple of losing seasons our bank balance is tottering on the brink of the abyss. Look for a bit more sizzle and lot more steak. It has been my experience that if you put a winner on the ice, at Least at the junior level, the fans will soon follow. Our next step is to find a coach that can help make it hap- pen," said Campbell. An announcement is expected in a couple of weeks. Last year's coach, Graham Nesbitt, has resigned to devote more time to Safety Seekers learn about tractor safety The sixth meeting of the Seaforth Safety Seekers was held on July 17, 1 p.m., at the home of Gerda Van- den Hoven. The meeting started with the 4-H pledge, and Barbara Wynja read the minutes of the last meeting. Members talked about sheer points, pinch points, wrap points, crush points, free -wheeling parts and pull -in points. They then watched two films, one about horse power and the other about the safety of a tractor. The club went for a walk around the property outside, looking at machinery and talking about the dangerous parts. Then all the members enjoyed a few games of "win, lose or draw." The snack was then served. The achievement night will be held on August 29 at 7:30 p.m., at Brussels Public School. Seaforth Merchants lose again this week The Seaforth Merchants were losers on the ball diamond again this week. Tuesday night saw the senior mens hardball team shut out 9 - 0 by Exeter and Wednesday night edged 6 - 5 by Strathroy. Exeter began its rampage early on last Tuesday night scoring two runs in the first inning, two in the second, three in the third and two in the seventh to hand Seaforth a 9 - 0 loss. Totals in the game for Seaforth included no runs on three hits, five errors and four men left on base. Hitters were: Dave Garrick, Del Mitchelmore and Anstett. Exeter scored nine runs on seven hits, made one error and left 14 men on base. A bad first inning for the Mer- chants was the main reason for Seaforth's loss to Strathroy Wed- nesday night. Strathroy scored five unearned runs on four Seaforth errors to take a 5 - 0 lead after one. Strathroy added to its lead with a run in the fourth, and Seaforth came back with three runs in the sixth to narrow the gap to one run. Gerard Ryan and Martene singled in that inning to put runners on first and second, then moved to second and third on a sacrifice bunt off the bat of Dale. Rick Boon then singled to score Ryan, Matetich singled to score. Martene and Marc Robinet singled to score Boon. Seaforth scored its five runs on nine hits, made five errors and left 12 men on base. Hitters in the game were: Boon (2), Matetich (2), Dale (1), Robinet (1), Martene (1), Dave Akey (1), and Ryan (1). Strathroy scored six runs on nine hits, made five errors and left 10 men on base. "This is the sixth or seventh time this year we let a game get away on us," commented coach Robinet. St. Columban soccer loss St. Columban men's Soccer team played at home July 29 against Chatham City and the result was a disappointing 3 to 2 loss for the home team. The game was to start 6:00 p.m. but it did not get under way until 7:00 p.m. because their was some discussion as to what to do since the referee did not show up. It is the leagues responsibility to make sure that their is a referee scheduled for each and every game. Both the Chatham and St. Columban teams showed good sportsmanship by agreeing to play the game without a BERG Sales - Service Installation Free Estimates • Barn Cleaners • Stabling • Bunk Feeders Donald G.

Although Chatham started the first part of the game strong, and carried most of the play, St. Colum - ban capitalized on a rush and Rem Murray finished off with a nice shot to the corner of the net. Chatham replied quickly and tied the game at 1 a piece. Rem Murray put St. Columban ahead 2 to 1 before the half ended when he made no mis- take ona penalty shot. St. Columban played much stronger in the second half and appeared to have the victory in hand but late in the game with only about 15 minutes left penalty shots were called against them. Chatham scored on both of them. St. Colum - ban also had a goal disallowed earlier in the half. The game ended in a 3 to 2 score for Chatham. St. Columban does not play the next two weekends due to the long weekend and Cup game schedules. St. Columban's next game is Sun- day, August 19 against Exeter in Exeter. St. Columban's next home game is Sunday, August 26 at 6:00 p.m. in St. Columban. This is the last regular season home game for the year, and your support would be appreciated. BRODHAGEN & DISTRICT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CHICKEN BBQ DRAW WINNER WARREN ROCK (left) of Mitchell was the first prize winner, last Wednesday night at the Brodhagen & District Chamber of Com- merce chicken barbecue draw. He selected a 46" Yard Man riding lawnmower from Ward's Farm Equipment. Other prizes offered were from Logan Ford Tractor Sales and Logan Farm Equipment (1988) Ltd President Neil Rapien is also pictured. Ken Glanville of R R 4 Walton won $300., Ron Frayne of Mit- chell won $200. , and Bob Scott, also of Mitchell, won $100. "We should have won down in Strathroy. They only scored one earned run - but we made five errors and left 12 men on base. You just can't do that and expect to win against Exeter. We only had three hits and again you've not going to win ball games by just getting three hits, no matter how many runs you give up. I hope we can turn this thing around, the playoffs are just around the corner." Seaforth plays in Exeter Tuesday, August 9 the start of a best two of three playoff series. Results of last nights game against Kincardine were unavailable at press time. minor hockey.
