'The signs cost 'between $50 and $75 and

try toget the license plate number of the

"Mr. Gibson estimated that the recent
vandalism has cost the i NR $11300aswell •
as many man hours. The .money for
repairs comes out of the thin budget for the
wildlife area.
"The budget has been cut back and
every time •something's smashed, it comes
out of our 'budget or it doesn'tget repaired
or it hurts something else. Some ether pro-
jects will suffer - the nature trails won't
get mowed;" Mr. Gibson stated.

NAME REFERRED TO NHL
Although he was picked to start work in
the OHA, it was another event that really
made:Seott's week.at the officiating school.
"The highlight of my week was Wednes-
rlay nightwhen 1 was doing lines. An NIIL
ref supervisor, Sam Sisco, was:there,.and he
supervised me.and he was very impressed.
Hesent ;my name to Brian Lewis, the NHL
assistant. to the director of referees."
The six comments Mr. Sisco made .about
Scott on this evaluation were that he skates
well, is very big (Scott is 6'4" and weighs
260);.his signs.are crisp, he knows the game
well, anticipates stoppages of play well, and
gets into position well after dropping the
puck for a faceoff.
Scott was happy to have a referral to

let the customers decide."
Mr. Lyons responded by saying permit-
ting wide-open holiday openings -including
Sunday openings- might provoke other
neighboring towns into opening Sunday,
Then, he says, Seaforth stores would be
forced to open Sundays as well to stay
competitive,
"I won't open Sunday unless I'm forced in-
to it," said Mr. Lyons.
As a final comment Councillor Marjorie
Claus, who chaired the .meeting, asked how
merchants would feel if the proposed holi-
day openings were allowed but Lyons
Market, Stedman and Canadian Tire were
the only retailers open.
Mr. de vries didn't see a problem. "Just
look at Wednesdays now, or Friday nights.
Those businesses which are open don't
bother those who aren't, and those not open
don't worry: about those who are."
Clerk Jim Crocker will write a report of
the public meeting and it will be referred to
a council committee on holiday openings.

Goderich..J'm anxious for the input."
Chief among Huron's concerns were the
4,000 .population requirement for a
municipality and the worry that the pro-
vince might withhold grants from
municipalities which would not
amalgamate or counties which did not
move :quickly to restructure according to
theterms of the report. Both were
answered early in .the session.
"If 4,000 had no been (the population
figure cited) in the report, you probably
would have already had approval from
most of the counties," said Warden Dave
Johnston.

Never too
Brian Lewis, but was ecstatic when he got a
letter from him on Friday. Included with the
letter was a form asking. about his referee-
ing and hockey experience, about school,
and other information the NHL wants about
Scott.
"They'll be watching me over the next
couple of years," says Scott of the NHL of-
ficials recruiters. Over the next couple
years he hopes to make a good impression
with competent refereeing in the OHA, and
hopefully in the OHL.
"You'vegot to have a.goal. I:know mine's
a high level goal, but I'm going to make it,"
says Scott. "Hopefully this is the first step.
I'm at the age where I've got to make it
happen."
PRO:REFS
Over the week Scott heard a bit about
what itreally is to be a professional referee.
OHA supervisor Willy Norris says there
are four aspects to an NHLreferee: a good
working knowledge of the rules, very good
skating skills, a "good head on his
shoulders", and a very strong upper body.
The NHL referee is considered an athlete
and roust undergo training and testing like
any athlete.
in the financial department, linesmen in
the NHL earn between 426,000 and $90,000
per year. Referees earn up to $130,'000 per
year. All benefits, travel and meals are paid
for by the league. The major drawback is
that officials are on the road 21 days out of a
month during the regular season.
There are only 11 referees and'22linesmen
and a number of trainees working for the
league at a given time. They are under
evaluation in 45 per cent of their games, and
are generally dismissed at a rate of about
one per year,
Leaving one vacancy.
