Bulls open season with win against Wingham The Brussels Bulls opened their 1992-93 season with a 6-3 win over the Wingham Ironmen Friday night at the Lockridge Memorial Arena. Excellent penalty-killing combined with outstanding goaltending from Trevor Fortune kept the game close until the Bulls could regroup and take command. The first period ended in a 1-1 tie with Jamie Scott giving the Bulls an early lead. The game's turning point came late in the period when Brussels successfully killed off a six minute two man advantange Wingham power play. Huron County welfare bills will continue to swell because more and more people are running out of unemployment benefits as the recession drags on. Reporting to the October meeting of Huron County council, John MacKinnon, Administrator of Social Services noted that the num­ ber of people whose unemployment benefits expired had increased from 24 in June to 101 in September. Wingham took the lead midway through the second period, but goals by Nate Bender and Ted Sills put the Bulls back in front. Tension mounted when Wingham's Brett Sangster was awarded a penalty shot but Fortune came up big and 47 seconds later Brian Zabel scored the eventual game winner shorthanded. Third period goals by George Carnegie and Bender sandwiched a Wingham tally for a final 6-3 Bulls' win. The Bulls* next game is their home opener against longtime rival Grand Valley Sunday at 2:00. Welfare bills continue to swell in Huron Cty. "Without job opportunities for peo­ ple to go to, their only alternative is social assistance," he said. He noted that one third of those losing their Unemployment Insurance benefits in August ended up on welfare. The Canada Employment Centre has been asked to provide figures of those whose benefits will expire in future months so more accurate planning can take place in advance. BY JENNIFER BRIGHAM, ZOEY ONN, SHAWNA WALKER AND ABIGAIL RAMIREZ OPEN HOUSE Tuesday, Sept. 29 was a busy day for Blyth Public School. There was an Open House from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for which preparations had been made through out the week. During this time, the kindergartens proudly presented the games they had learned on their computer. Later in the week they learned about the colour "blue" through songs, stories and graphs. Other classes had put much effort into their displays also, such as the grade 1/2 amphibian display. GRADE 1/2 Grade 1/2 has been learning about snails. There is an aquarium in the classroom with lots of snails in it, which are often let out to wander "slowly" around. They like the colour black and they move towards food like lettuce and carrots. The students tried eating like snails but found it is much easier to bite celery than to scrape it with their teeth. A snail's eyes are on the end of its long antennae. They had snail races and discovered the snails move about two inches in one minute.

The grade 2/3 have recently been studying salamanders. They have been busy learning interesting facts about them. They learned salamanders can survive fire, they have four limbs with five toes on their back legs and four on their front. Their legs and tails can break off easily, but new ones grow back. They also have very dull teeth and slits for ears. This poem is written by Candace Bearss and it is entitled, "I Wish" / wish I had a salamander, I'd put it in the dark, I'd take it to the park, I'd put it in the damp, I'd take it with me to camp, I'd put it in the cold, I'd keep it 'till I'm old, I might even keep it in a pool, Salamander you're so cool!
