It does look as though we may have to have one more fund raising project as we are now about $500.00 short of our goal. We would ask that you support the venture when it happens and bring us over the top in our efforts to raise money for this project. a Again a reminder of the Ringette Association Annual Meeting to be held on Thursday, Sept. 2/76 at 7:30 p.m. in the Arena Lounge. As was stated previously adult help and assistance is the only thing really required to make Ringette a very large-sport in this municipality. While on the subject of support and while the ball seasson is still upon us, Prope to see many new faces involved with Minor Softball next year. I believe that this Town can have possibly the best minor system in Ontario if enough people will take the time to get involved. I have asked in the past few weeks for suggestions pertaining to our Community School Program and as usual very few came in. You will be seeing a list of the programs in the next few weeks and this will be final unless I hear from interested groups between now and then. I will also be publishing a report on the special activities scheduled for the Arena such as pre- school and Senior Citizen skating and Shinny Hockey.

Talking , sports by Tom Shields Last week when on holidays I made the journey to old Hog Town for the opening day of Canada's best known exhibition. I knew that there was a football game on that night at the CNE stadium, but for some reason I completely forgot to take my press pass. So I joined the 49,000 spectators to watch the Argos host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in CFL football. To get into the game meant lining up at a ticket booth at 11 a.m. and waiting until the booth opened at noon, only to find out that the only seats left in the house were in the end zone at a price of four smackers each. To refresh your memory, the end zone seats, are those just recently constructed for the baseball season in Toronto next spring, but they are already open for the football games to anyone stupid enough to sit in that vicinity. If I was watching a "BLUEJAY"' (ha ha) game, I would be up high on the third base line, but I would still be a long way from homeplate. But for a football game I sat about 50 yards away from the nearest end-zone. From where my seat was located to the goal posts at the far end of the field, I estimated the distance at about 185 yards, or a nice three-wood shot on the golf course, and in this game in question, the action was mostly at those goal- posts, yet action is not a very good word to describe what was happening on the field, and at precisely 10.37 p.m. on the night in question, I was glad that I only shelled out four bucks and il a sawbuck to view the fiasco from the 50-yard ine. On the only play in the game that had any excitement, namely the 48-yard run by little Anthony Davis, the roar of the crowd from the main grandstand took over five seconds to reach my ears in the far end zone. The rest of the game was made up of missed tackles by the Argos and short passes by Reed, the Argos quarterback plus completely inept play by Hamilton as each team tried to look worse than the other club, a battle which Hamilton won as they lost 14 to 11. Most of the paying customers were watching something exciting like the roller coaster making its rounds, or the lights of the CN Tower blinking on and off. By the way, there was a bit of excitement in the end zone as the usual over-zealous fans started fighting which was broken up by Metros finest, not once but five times, and still the combatants were not ejected from the game as even the police probably figured that it was just punishment leaving them there to watch the game. Near the end of the game, the public address announcer at the stadium reminded everybody of the Argo's next home game, sometime in September against the same Hamilton Tiger- Cats who were on the field that night. ». Have you ever heard 49,000 fans boo simultaneously? SIDELINES.....There should be no complaints in the Canada Cup series this year in regards to gifts. Team Canada will be giving fur hats to all the teams and the winning team in the tour- nament will be getting hats made of MINK. If this doesn't keep the Soviets happy, then they are as greedy as the rest of the world....The Midland Minor Hockey will be having their All-Star hockey teams playing their home games out of the Wasaga Beach Arena. The ice has already been booked for the coming season, meanwhile, there is nothing definite as yet for house league hockey players....For those people not happy with the name "Bluejays" for the new Toronto baseball team, remember that both the "Orioles" and the 'Cardinals'? have won world series in latter years...... As a last laugh, in Europe when the hockey fans don't like the call made by the referee, they all whistle at him: maybe to get a stoppage in play, the referee should yell "'BOO"'. : Fn ON Gulf wey LORNE RANCE Bill Clark General Contractor Landscaping -- Excavating Sand and Gra ELMVALE Res. 322-1603 Bus. 322-2545 vel Supplies GULF STATION ELMVALE BEST | BUY Gas x Oil Batteries Tires Mechanic On Duty Georgian Bay Fastball League Playoffs Thursday, August 26 Garrisons play Caswells Antiques Olympia takes on the LA Boys Sunday, August 29 Garrisons play Caswells Antiques Tuesday, August 31 Garrisons versus Caswells Antiques Olympia versus LA Boys (Both games only if necessary) Georgian Bay Girls Softball League Thursday, August 26 .
