At the same time, council approved a demolition permit for the hotel and a building permit which will see the new 70 by 87 foot building rise on the site. The new building will come right to the edge " of the sidewalk onTurnberry Street but the entrance will be off Thomas Street and parking will be at the rear of the building. The 5200,000 building will have a blank wall on the main street side.

The new store will have parking for 32 cars off the street. Councillor Betty Graber, while expressing reflief that the derelict Queen's Hotel was going to be removed from main street, ex- pressed some concern about the "great China wail" that would result from the building having no windows or doors on main street. Other councillors were just thank- ful to have the deal, which had dragged on for months through legal holdups, finally resolved. In another development -orient- ed decision, council passed a resolution favouring achangc from residential zoning to highway commercial for property owned by Don Bray (the old Fina station) on Turnberry street at the northern part of the village. Mr. Bray presented his case to council saying that under the current non -conforming status he cannot add to the building or make anysubstantialchanges, He would like toaddabuilding for storage. In addition, he said, the restrictive zoning makes it difficult to get a mortgage on the property. The formation of an industrial commission with Morris and Grcy townships was discussed briefly. Morris has already appointed Deputy -reeve Clem McLellan to sit on the committee and Grcy was expected to appoint its momenta - live at its meeting on Monday. Because of the absence of counci- llor Dave Boynton who had ex- pressed some interest in the subject; council decided to defer appointment of the Brussels repre- sentative to a future meeting. There'wes sonic discussion as to :whethereachof the municipalities shouldeontribute a'small amount of money to the commission's expense. Reeve Hank Ten Pas said he would discuss the situation with the neighbouring reeves. The Local Architectural Conser- vancy Advisory Committee got new members when Shirley Sid - dell, Hill Spink, Claudia Spink, Clare Powers and Tom Hanrahan were appointed to the committee. The committee advises council on designation of significant histori- calimportance. Once designated, owners of the building can apply for grants from the government for restoration of the buildings.

Albert Street dispute monopolizes council time : The great Albert Street War will not go away for Brussels Council. 'The dispute; which has been simmering behind the scenes for years, broke out at council last month when a complaintabout a •dogthat a neighbour felt was noisy and dangerous brought Georg9 Jutzl of Brussels Transport befott: council. He spent a little time defending his dog and more time blasting out at what he felt were injustices on the part of the neighbours, Who were complain- ing.Among his charges was a complaint thatafence belonging to Councillor Gordon Workman was on the street allowance. Subse- . ',pent investigation showed that the fence may on the street allowance but some of Mr. Jutzi's installations might also be on the street 'allowance. Mr. Workman said he'd move his fence if a survey • showed it was on village property but would insist that Mr. Jutzi move his encroaching structures as well. Reeve Hank Ten Pas' and councillor Dave Boynton were sent outto try to calm the stormy waters. Monday night, however, John Pennington, who had made the initial complaint about the dog was at the cou ncil meeting to accuse councillors of letting Mr. Jutzi push them around. He again complained about'tlae noise from the dog. "The noise is going through my house like you would- n't believe," he said. He also said • that every time he comes out of his house the dog barks at him. Reeve Ten Pas said he had spoken toneighbourswhosaid that while thedogdoesbark, itis put inside thebuildingatnightand this hasreduced the noise at night. Mr. Pennington replied that the dog is !clout at five or six in the morning and suggested, tongue-in-cheek, that perhaps he should be expected to get up that early so the dog wouldn't interrupt his sleep. He also complained about the loading of pigs into the company's transport trucks on the side of the • street, although he admitted that • in the last few weeks the company ',was cleaning up waste straw and manure from the trucks better. • ' He wondered, however, if the original building permit for an addition to the building that is now used as a holding pen, had stated that it would be used as such or if it had; been only as a truck bay. Councillors indicated that it had been Just fora truck bay but Clerk Stuart Parker said that despite an extensive search of the files, heand Ruth Sauve had been unable to locate the original building permit. ' Councillor Workman reacted angrily saying that he was not coming back to council until the permit was found. "I would hope that in five years time the motions we're making tonight would be able to be found," he said. He said he was tired of seeing so much time at council meetings tied up on the subject. Council was discussing a zoning bylaw, he said, and had been told by Huron County Planner Wayne Caldwell that businesses that were already operating would be un- affected even if the were in a Y COMMUNITY CALENDAR, WEDNESDAY, FEB.19TOTUESDAY, FEB.25 CARDIFF &• MULVEY Brussels REAL ESTATE - KANSURANCELTD.., 8876100 February 22- Legion Dance, 9-1:A dance to welcome Garden City.

Mr, Pennington claimed Mr. Jutzi "just seems to get away with everything up there." Councillor Betty Graber said there was little council could do because it had no laws to back it up. There is currently no noise by-law (one is being drafted) and the dog is tied up. A building permit violation was something that had happened in the past and council's options now were limited. The subject was not so much resolved as worn out leaving the distinct possibility that it will be a recurring subject at council meet- ings in the future! Special.'

THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1986, O What are. schools for? Every now and then there's a story in the papers about some emissary from•, business and industry complaining that our schools aren't doing•a good enough job training pcople,to fill available jobs. '. Our schools, almost as much as the post office, arc the brunt of criticism from all directions. Who but people involved in education, have you heard stand up for schools? if schools turn out people who can't find jobs there must be something wrong with either the schools or the economy. But on the other hand, do wu want schools who program people to quietly slip into the cmployof large corporations and live their lives doing the service of big business? A recent television show on the University of Western Ontario's Master of Business Administration program (particularly on women) and its role in training people to take over the executive positions in the major corporations of the country, stated that these are people who accept things the way they are: they aren't burdened with ideas of changing the world. . But dowewant people, even in business, who are prepared to accept things the way they are? Can't a country progress only if it has people coming up with innovative ideas, people ready to try to do things that others say can't be done? Economists and politicians tell us that the strength of the economy, the potential for growth and job creation, lies in small business, those companies with less than 50 employees. Most new ideas come from the little guy, often working almost on his own. Yet the failure rate of new businesses starting up is high both because of lack of financing and lack 'of business knowledge. But where are the university programs or even the community college programs that are designed to help people' set up their own business or take over the business their parents have started before them? They're pretty scarce if not. non-existent. Because there are people out there who want to run their own businessyet have little confidence in their own ability and have no place to turn to get more knowledge, the franchise system has mushroomed. The franchise company gives the budding entrepreneur a few rules to go by and takes things like marketing off thcirhands and the people think they are running their own business when they're usually employees in all but name. Canada gets new small businesses almost against all its efforts. Despite government measures that seem designed to guarantecall business is controlled by a fcw families, stubborn individuals without training in money management, market- ing, advertising, employee relations or other business skills, continuetowant togetout thcreand start their own businesses. A few succeed and some of those who fail learn enough that when they try itnext time they succeed. How much healthier could our small business sector be if we cared enough to provided education designed to encourage peopletogoout and run their own business, not work quietly to make more money for the Bronfmans or Wcstons? How many more exciting new developments might take place? How many more jobs might be created? Two classes of volunteers? The revelation of the amounts of money paid out not only to county councillors but to "volunteers" serving on county committees begs the question: are there now two classes of volunteers in our arca. in at least some cases, hospital board appointees are also now getting a,stipend from municipal governments for their representation of the people on those boards. This is not to question the value of the work these people make nor to belittle the sacrifice they make even with this small monetary reward but once you start paying "volunteers", where do you stop? The entire social structure in communities such as ours depends on volunteers. Our churches depend on volunteers. Service clubs, Women's Institutes, even such large organizations as the Blyth Festival, depend on volunteers to make their programs work. It's all well and good to reward people who sit on government -funded committees but what about the hard-working volunteers who work for non-govern- ment agencies. Do we need to start paying those hockey and baseball coaches who put in long hours without even getting much thanks for their work? Could we afford to keep many of our clubs going if we needed to pay volunteers? if we don't pay volunteers wiltwe have people holding out instead for jobs as volunteers that do pay something? Before this trend continues much further, somebody needs to think of the ramifications of this trend. " YOU'RE RIGHT ABout 'THE ROOM IN THtrSE SMALL CARS, DEAR ! !JE Cout oNL's GET °NE SUITCASE IN THE TRUNK! The world view from Mabel's Grill ' There are people who will tell you that the important decisions in town are made down at thc•town hall. People in the know, however know that the real debates, the real wisdom reside down at Mabel's Grill where the greatest minds In the town (if not in the country) gather for morning coffee break, otherwise known as the Round Table Debating and Filibustering Society. Since not just everyone can partake of these deliberations we will report the activities from time to time. MONDAY:•Billy Bean said this morning that after listening to the doctors complain so much about not being able to extra -bill he's feeling so sorry for them, he's thinking of starting a campaign to raise money to help them out. Hank Stokes says he's a little worried the whole thing may bring more overproduction in farming. The poor doctors arc going to be so short of money, he says, that they may decide there's more money to be made in.fnrming. TUESDAY: Julie Flint brought up the subject of equal pay for work of equal value this morning (she's a brave Indy ... or should that be woman these days?) She says she hopes when they get people to decide whose job is worth what, they'll import sonic of those baseball arbitrators from the U.S. A good hall player hits about a .300 average, hits 20 home runs and bats in about 80 to 100 runs so some guy who hits only .238, gets two homeruns and drives in 24 runs and got 540,000last year is offered a $30,000 raise this year. He won't accept that and asks for S150,000 and the arbitrator gives it to him. Turn these guys loose on equal pay for work of equal value and they may decide the receptionist .will get as much as the vice president; she figured: And in some casts, they might be right. THURSDAY: Ward Black was saying this morning that despite all the bad things he's said about CBC, you have to give them credit for trying. CBC really seems to be trying to get more people to watch their network, i mean, who could resist watching that show they had on last night about Dr. Roberts and the. slime moulds. FRIDAY: Julia was away this morning so the guys could get down to the topic of the fuss about the Toronto Maple Leafs not allowing reporters into the dress- ing room after the game. Seems the policy is:designed to keep women out of the dressing room while the players were wandering in and out of the showers. The National Hockey League says all reporters, men and women alike, have to be treated alike, so the Leafs said nobody can come into the dressing room and the players will be brought to an interview room after they're dress- ed to talk to reporters. This of course has been taken as a breach of freedom of the press and the Toronto media is screaming. Billie Bean said he kind of sympathized with the players on all this. After all, he says, the players are asked to give their all on the ice and then everybody wants to sec their all in the dressing room afterward. Ward Black said there seems to be a kind of double standard here. It's a cause cclebre when women arc denied the chance to go Into a men's locker room while the men are still getting undressed but if a man ever wanted the same right to • go into a women's dressing room he'd be called all sorts of dirty names. Tint O'Grady said he saw an interview on television last year with a woman whouscd tocovcrthc Toronto BlueJays (even when they were covered) and she was offend- ed by how these guys used to stand around without their clothes on when she was trying to interview them after a game. First of all she wants to get in there while they're still changing, he says, and then she gets upset because they seem to be trying to embarrass her. Hank Stokes says there's one way tostop the whole nonsense. Make it like a nudist colony: the reporters are welcome to come in but they've got to take their clothes off too before they get in the door.

Jim Rice just got started • at.. retirement age From the back of a atadonwagon town expanded schoolhouse filed with clothes and shoes, Jim Rice has created a thriving business at an age when most people are planning their retirement. The Hallett There may be no better argu- ment for "grey power" around than Jim Rice, who started a successful business 'career at an age when most people are ready for retirement. Now 76, the owner of Rice's Store in Hullctt •township south- east of Blyth will be the first to admit though that he had no grand schemes for this store that just kind of grew one step at a time, often almost as a result of an accident. Today the store is a remarkable business, housed in the basement of an old one -room school house with additions added as the business mushroomed. Inside, the place has the feel of a small version of Honest Ed's in Toronto and it attracts customers for much the same reason, low-priced products sold in a no-frills atmosphere, „ • Even on a bitterly -cold early - February day, at a time of year he expects business to be quiet, the customers continue to trickle in, in a steady stream. In the busy season in November and December, four employees plus Mr. Rice himself were kept going at a hectic pace over a 12 -hour day to deal with the crowds. There may be as many as 15 cars ata time parked outside the store. , Some people like the feeling of having discovered the place and'it has grown by word of mouth because it has never been support - cd by large advertising budgets and it doesn't even have large billboards marking thc,way to its remote location. • There were the people from Sarnia who dropped in on their way to their cottage at Tobermory. There was the man from the London -area who dropped in after attending an auction locally, who promised to be back next time with a carload. He did return with six people in the car, each of whom walked out with $300' worth of 'purchases. Since then they've all been back regularly and spread the word 'to their neighbours ,who've also found their way to the store. It all started because of a customer who didn't want to buy what he was trying to sell about 2$ years ago. He was selling Rawleigh products and farm -supply ' prod- , ucts in . those- days but this particular farmer wanted a pair of army boots like ,the' kind the salesman was wearing, Every, time hewentback tothe farm the farmer asked him if he had gotten him his army boots until finally, the fariner said he'd give him $100 to buy boots for the family the next time he was in the city. So he went to the supplier the next time he was in Toronto and bought army boots of various sixes for the fdrmcr and bought some extras as well for SI.50 a pair. He put them in the back of his stationwagon and sold them at four to five dollars a pair. They proved to be popular items with his farm customers and every second week he had to go back to the city for more. Once, while he was there, the supplier asked him if he'd like to buy any shirts. He said nowt first because he didn't know what he'd do with shirts but they were only a dollar apiece so he thought it was worth a. try. They sold like holcakes.

Auburn to buy things and asking why he didn't put up some shelves so they could find things more easily. Then, eight years ago came an event that would have seemed like a setback but was to ultimately change the entire business. His supplier in Toronto died. The supplier's wife wanted to get out of the; business and she tried to persuade him to buy the entire stock at 20'per ccnt off. He thought it over and talked to his bank manager but was warned that by thc'tim° he could sell things like the snowmobile suits (this Was in the summer) the interest would have eaten up all the profit. He went back to the widow and told her he couldn't manage it. She offered to let him have it all if he paid her by July 1. He asked for an extra month, they agreed and he started hauling the stuff home. There were truckloads and truck- loads of it. It had to be carried all the way up to the attic of the old schoolhouse on the 12th of Hullctt where he had moved by now. It was one of those cases of "if you knew then what you know now" before he finally had it all stored. Still he managed to meet the payments and it provided the basis for the huge stock he now has. He still has one or two of those original snowmobile suits hanging around somewhere, he says. One by one he built up a network of wholesalers and manufacturers in Toronto to keep his business stocked. Still, the money made was being poured back into buying more stock. There weren't really any profits to show, But another unlikely incident proved the next spur to increasing business. He found himself being audited by a very determined Revenue Canada income tax audit- or, sure he could prove Mr. Rice was doing something wrong. He couldn't, but he planted the seed with the thought that Mr. Rice should be expanding, thereby having tax write-offs for capital expenses. His banker agreed. Eventually a new addition to the west side of the store was built. It worked. Business grew. For thc first time there was black ink on thc books. Eventually, a larger addi- tion to the cast side was made, Although people keep giving him the friendly advice to slow down and he is to the point he doesn't have to do all the work himself; he loves to be involved with customers, meeting them, finding what they want. Today salesmen are also finding their way to the old schoolhouse to peddle their wares just as he once visited farmers. He warns them there's no use coming unless they've got somethingworthwhile, something hiscustomers need at a good price. He can still buy it in Torontoand pick it up himself to save shipping charges and that's mostly what he still does. Once a week he climbs into his van early in the morning, drives to the city, makes the rounds of his suppliers and fills the van then makes the trip home again, getting ' home late; u hard day's work for anyone of any age. But he seems to thrive on it, looking 10 years (at least) younger than his age. And his business thrives with him as people from local farmers in their coveralls to well-dressed urbaniteswho'vejust visited the leather and woollen outlets in Blyth crowd together in the narrow aisles, looking for bargains. They'd all be out of luck if Jim Rice was the kind of man to sit back in a rocking chair on the porch when he reached 65,•.

In hamlets and cathedrals, mountain, plain and fishing corn - mu nitics, orn•munitics, the sound of women's voices will be raised in prayer and song, addressing conccrns which are deeply felt by the global Christian sisterhood. Written this year by the women of: Australia, the topic for the se:vice is "Choose Life' in its Fullness." This is a time when the burning issue of peace with justice is confronted with problems such as famine and hunger, racism and torture, military aggression and terrorism. The service raises social and ethical questions about cur- rent issues such as genetic engin• tering, unemployment and pover- ty, child neglect and the boredom of affluence' A short drama based on Biblical women focuses on the ahought of choosing life in all its fullness as a continuing experience.

WICC works in con- junction with the International World Day of Prayer Committee , which is made up of representa- tives from 170 countries. Last year WICC distributed over 288,000 copies of the service to 3000 communities in Canada. The ser- vice was printed in English and French with special editions in large print, Japanese, Chinese and Braille. The offerings from the services arc applied to the cost of printing with the surplus being used to help carryon the work of WICC. As well, last year, grants to the amount of 513,000 were applied to women's projects in the Third World and 57,000 to women's projects in Canada and the Canadian Bible Society.

PAGE 7. New Homecare program expands services A third stage of homecare will be introduced in Huron county under a new grant announced by the Ontario government. Huron county is one of six areas of the province chosen for S3 million pilot project called the Integrated Homemaker Program for frail seniors and physically disabled adults. The new program is part of a S71 million plan to improve community support ser- vices. It's a step groups Tike the Town and Country Homemakers in Huron County have been advocat- ing for five years, saysJean Young, executive director of the group. "In 1980, we were asked down to the provincial legislature in Tor- onto to look at the situation and three years ago, the government started to talk about announcing a similar program. We've written dozens of letters in that time to show the need in Huron," says Young. Of the 250 seniors with an average age of 85 who receive homemaking services from TCH, 66 per cent are private citizens who pay out of their own pockets. "1 really feel there is a need here. A study done by the University of Guelph shows that Huron has the highest population of elderly in Ontario and it's hard for some to pay privately when they're living on a pension," she says. Donations to TCH from county and municipal governments in Huron have helped to fulfill the need in the county before funding was approved by the provincial government for homemaking for seniors who did not need profes- sional medical care, "This program should take some of the burden off the local governments and rightly so. This is a provincial problem. But, in the meantime while we knew the province was working on this program, the county and local governments tried to meet that need," says Young. Huron's probable share of $500,000, one-sixth of the 53 million for homemaking allotted this year for six communities is a good start to meet the need in the county, says Young. 1 think it's quite a lot for Huron. Our budget for Town and Country Homemakers right now is 5500,000 but private people are spending $300,000 out of their own pockets. Most of then should qualify," she says. Young says she can't guess how many seniors or disabled adults who are not now receiving either privatclyorpublicly-funded home- making services will apply for services under the new program. "l have a feeling there's a considerable number of people who can benefit from this pro- gram," says Betty Cardno, direc- tor of the Huron County Home Care program who will administer the program. "When homemaking Is the main Tho Brussels Snowmobile club poker rally was held on Sunday.

Home Care in Huron, which is funded to provide visiting services to acute and chronic patients after physician referrals, buys its home- making services from TCH. Card - no predicts the demand for TCH's services will increase with the new program. "An elderly person who's just managing may be able to manage another year at home with a small amount of help with cooking, shopping and cleaning. Every- thing I've ever heard from seniors is that they want to stay at honk as long as possible," she says. "I hope to sec more and more emphasis in the next 20years on honk care, especially for people who don't need the professional component. It will leave more beds for the people backlogging the hospitals." Cardno says only a few hours of homemaking a couple days a week can make the difference between people staying home and going into an institution. And. when seniors still have the ability to make decisions, it can by very devastating when they arc physi- cally unable to stay at home. The criteria of what constitutes a "frail" senior or how referrals will be made is not yet clear from the Ministry of Community and Social Services, says Cardno. "Itmightbcthataseniorwho thinks he needs the service just has to call. Iscethatwecouldgcta lot of referrals at first," she says. Both Cardno and Young say they're excited about the provision in the program for Alzheimer's victims. So often, homemaking is what is most needed in Alzheimer's cases. Some will be able to get additional help but that depends what each individual case needs," says Cardno. Representatives from the Mini- stry of Community and Social Services will be visiting the six counties slated to pilot the integra- ted homecare program to discuss the whole process of assessment and eligibility and general guide- lines, says spokesperson Janet Rowney.

This is a period of fasting or doing without something in order to prepare for Easter. In early times some people smeared their faces with dirt so as to be recognized as persons who were fasting. There is no point in this practice. It is always necessary to prepare forJesus'coming into ourlivcs. Preparation includes attending and learning stories ofJesus life at Sunday School and learning through language. Each must understand a language to koep alive. Learn the meaning of faith through language. Parents pre- pare their children by example and teaching. This forms the communi- ty of the church. All learn from each other. Our learning to receive Jesus is never finished. To conclude the service the Junior choir sung the Benediction which was followed by refresh- ments and .a social hour in the school room. • Belgrave UCW meets The afternoon unit of the Bclgravc U.C.W. met in thechurch school room for their February meeting.

Register by phoning Attention Property Owners and Tenants in the Village of Blyth WANT TO APPEAL YOUR ASSESSMENT? You still have time to appeal your 1985; assessment if you feel your home or business property has been improperly assessed. Your assessment is important because the•amount of property tax you pay depends on it, in that the assessed value of your property is.multiplied by your municipal and school mill rate to determine your 1986 property taxes. Notices of Assessment have been mailed to property owners and tenants whose assessments have changed since last year. Open houses have been held in your area to answer questions and amend assessment information if necessary. Open house dates and locations were announced in a previous advertisement. The Assessment Roll has now been delivered to your municipality for the purposes of calculating the amount of taxes you must pay on your property in 1986. For informa- tion on your assessment, the Assessment Roll is now available for review at your Municipal Office during regu- lar business hours. If you feel your property has been improperly assessed, -and you have not yet made your appeal known, you still have until March 4, 1986 to deliver or mall an appeal to the Assessment Review Board. And remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of Assessment, you still have the right to appeal. Appeal deadline -March 4, 1986 The Assessment Review Board is an impartial body reporting to the Attorney General of Ontario, which pro- vides you, with an additional opportunity to have your • assessment reviewed 1f, in your opinion, it is not fair and equitable with similar properties in your area. The Review Board is more informal and relaxed than a regular court of law. You may present your own case, retain a lawyer or ask a relative or friend to speak as your agent. To help you in filing your appeal, Notice of Appeal forms are available from the Assessment Review Board, your Regional Assessment Office or your Municipal Office. As well, you can use the reverse side of a Notice of Assess- ment or write a letter stating the property address and roll number, together with your reasons for appealing. Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board listed below. ®Ministry of Revenue Ontario Regional Registrar ' ASSESSMENT REVIEW BOARD MINISTRY OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL tat Floor, 426 Third Street London, Ontario N5W 4W6 THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1986.

Good hockey, but 2 losses BY RUSTY BLADES The Blyth novice team staged two exhibition games last week in preparation for the upcoming playoff series with Huron Park. Although Blyth played some great hockey, they came away with two losses to show for their effort. Last Thursday night saw them lose in Wingham by a 6.3 score, while on Saturday they lost a heartbreak- er, but a character•buildcr, in Clinton by a 4 -3 score. In Wingham, Blyth started strong but faded as the game progressed. Henry Bos, skating on borrowed blades, opened the scoring as he redirected a Mike Bromley pass into the net. Wing- ham quickly tied the game but Blyth took the lead once again before the first period had ended. Brian McNichol scored a sensa- tional unassisted goal as he carried the puck down theleftside,crossed , the bluclinc and let go a hard wrist shot at the net. The Wingham goaliegot a pieccoftheshot but the puck squirted between his pads and into the net. Wingham then took control of the contest and scored two goals in the second period to take a 3.2 lead. Wingham scored three more goals in the third period, sand- wiched around another goal by " The Scoring Machine", to seal the 6 - 3 victory. Benje Hakkers spotted Henry Bos positioned in front of the net and made an accuratepasstoHenry, whoclosed out the scoring for Blyth. On Saturday afternoon the novice team travelled to Clinton and played an outstanding hockey game but came up empty handed a t thefinal buzzer. Clinton scored the only goal of the first period but Blyth bounced back to score the only goal of the second period to tic thegame 1.1 heading intothe third period. Mike Bromley scored a beautiful unassisted effort as he found himself alone in front of the Clinton goal. Mike had the Clinton goalie doing headstands before he finally found the open net and slipped it in. This set the stage fora wild third period that lasted seven seconds too long, as far as the. Blyth supporters were concerned. Blyth skated out for the third period all charged up fora run ata victory. Blyth took the lead as a result of winning a face off deep in the Clinton zone. Mike Bromley won the face off and drew the puck back to defcnceman Peter Craig. Peter couldn't get a clear shot away so he passed the puck to defence partner Jamie Bromley. Jamie fired a wicked wrist shot at the Clinton goal which threaded its way through a forest of legs and landed in the net. The joy was shortlived however. From the face off at centre ice, the Clintonsquadcarried the puck into the Blyth zone and quickly tied the game. The thrilling action went end to end before Clinton took the lead with only three minutes left in the game. Blyth kept the pressure on the Clinton team and eventually scor- ed with one minute and sixteen seconds left. Linemates Brian McNichol and Jerrod Button furi- ously forcchecked in the Clinton zone and received well-deserved assists. The puck was cleared ou t in front of the net to Christopher Howson who redirected it into the net for the game tying goal, Thegameappeared headed fora tie in thefinal seconds but, to make a longstoryshort, Clintongot lucky and scored to win the game. The last fifteen seconds are still too painful for thccoachingstaff to talk *about but 1 ant told that they would gladly trade three used pucks and a vintage Gorie Howe hockey card in order to replay that final face off again. Nevertheless, it was a magnificent game with Clinton Minor Hockey providing pop and hotdogs for all concerned. The best two out of three game playoff series with Huron Park was altered with the first game being played on Monday in Huron Park. The second game will be played in Blyth tonight, Wednesday, Feb. 19 at 7o'clock, Blythcould be perched to win thisscriesor they could be in a position to be eliminated from further playoff action. Some much -appreciated fan support is essential for the game tonight. 1 am sure there arc relatives, friends and hockey fans out there who would enjoy an action packed night of entertain. mentand, without question, these young hockey players are more than willing tooblige. Ganictinie is 7 o'clock ... a large boisterous crowd could make the difference!! Brussels Juniors' regular season ends on down note BYLOISMcARTER Despite what the headlines read last week the Junior's finished their season on a losing note in the last five games played. Several members of the midget team got a taste of Junior "D" hockey this past weekend and performed very well. On Friday night they were in Seaforth for another close game of hockey.

Clinton added one goal in the second period and two more in the third totake home a 4 • 1 win. Sunday afternoon had the Bulls at home to Howick for the last league game of the season.

Given a DRUSSEIS-ETHELUNITED chance to fantasize, she took it • "1 CHURCHES wish the whole world was made of lchocolatc." They were sitting at the table, and five-year-old Jennifer was thoroughly enjoying every lick of hcrgrandmother's special • lots of chocolate syrup with a little ice cream under it. Aware of the five yearold's immense delight, some - Carl you identify with that? If you're allergic to chocolate, please don't answer. Forgive the analogy and find your own. Do you know what it is to enjoy something so much that you wish for 24 hours a day, seven days aweek of whatever it is? At some level 1 suppose all of us can feel with Charles Schultz's comic character, Lucy, in her wish that everything be "up, up, up" and that there be no downs. If you could make the world, what would you make it "out of?" Would it be all chocolate? All ups and no downs? If you were God, what kind of world would you make? United Church plans skating party Mr. Bauman stressed the word "fret" in his sermon on Sunday in Blyth United Church. He said that we spend more time in fretting and worrying than we do in construe - live thinking. That we should not indulge ourselves in self pity and worry but rather trustGod to sce us through our difficulties.

School board • l reappoints architect BY RHEA HAMILTON-SEEGER Huron County Board of Educa- tion has reappointed its architects for another 18 -month period. There was considerable discus - ion over the 18 -month appointment of Kyles, Garratt and Marklevitz, Stratford as consulting architects. Dr. Goddard questioned the short period of 18 months and not a full term of three years. John Elliott wanted to know if there had been any local interest in the job. Tony McQuail, chairman of the Management Committee that re- commended the hiring of the firm, said that there was one other interested firm from the county but due to the short time the committee had to make the recommendation and a previous commitment on the part of the other firm, the Stratford firm was chosen. The mattcrof 18 months enables Tess experienced board members to review the situation when they have more experience'and will allow local firms another chance at the job. Kyles, Garratt and Marklevitz has done a good job in the past said Elliott, and is well informed with public buildings and various mini- stries. He hoped that that short appointment would not reflect poorly on the firm. Art Clark, chairman of the board, was impressed with his meeting with The Honorable Sean" Conway, Minister of Education. Clark was among several board chairmen to meet with•the minister in Toronto, Jan. 23. The minister commented about his commitment to students for transition to the world of work. Conway also announced that the basis for enrolment memorandum has been withdrawn. This means a saving of approximately S20,000 to the Huron Board. The Issue evolved around the definition of a full-time and part-time student and was reflected in the grants and levies from the province to the school boards. Clark commented on how the minister answered every question andencouraged further discussion . after the session had adjourned. in other business an invitation is to be extended to the Huron -Perth Separate School Board's executive committee to meet and discuss common interests. A school board retreat has been organized for March 21 and 22 In Forest. Why Forest you ask? It would seem the organizers are keen on having board members stickaround for the fuJI agenda, Topics such as trends, future educational considerations, and comparative education costs will be covered. Congratulations were extended to John Elliott who was elected vice.president of the Ontario Pub- lic School Trustees' Association and chairman of the Small Board 'Section for.the 1986 term.
