Minor Hockey "Sparks" by LYNNE BADGER The February meet- ing of the Terrace Bay Minor Hockey Asso- ciation was held on Wednesday, February 8 at the Rec Centre. "The News' was rep- resented, expecting to watch the sparks fly. The sparks turned out to be mere flickers but some interesting things were said, particularly about the issues every- one has been reading in the "NEWS"' for the past two weeks. We shall attempt to bring you up to date. Doug Roberts, Chair- man of the Associa- tion, reported on the meeting of the North Shore Minor Hockey League where they pro- tested being fined $50.00 for games they were unable to attend due to the weather, re- quested the re-schedul- ing of the missed games and questioned the le- gality of the decision to drop the 2°and 3 minute rules. Mr. Roberts felt that they were given the first two requests as a trade-off for the refusal of the third. He added that they only protested the legality of the dis- missal of the rule rather than the value of the rule itself because "con- vincing some people of the value of the concept is like trying to convi- nce his dog that he is a a He was disappointed in the way the meeting was run as well. 'One person made state- ments and everyone obeyed ... acting like toy ducks that bob their heads in water." Mr. Hanley, who was pre- sent at both meet- Art Exhibition to travel In celebration of On- tario's Bicentennial, the NEC/CIA_ has_ re- ceived approval for a grant of $39,000 to pro- duce and travel a very special Art Exhibition . "The Northwestern Ontario Indian Juried Art Show"'. This exhibition in- vites submissions of up to three works by eli- gible native artists in, or from, Northwestern On- tario. Artists can be photographers, paint- ers, printmakers or sculptors, and the dead- line for all submis- sions is May 1, 1984. The purpose behind this first juried show for Northwestern Ontario Indian artists, is to draw | out little known artists who deserve more pro- fessional exposure, in addition to better known artists already estab- lished. In keeping with the "all native' theme, the jury will consist of Indian art profes- sionals: Norm Opper- man, owner/manager of Nishnawbe Arts in To- ronto; Gerald McMas- ter, Curator of Con- temporary Indian Art at the National Museum of Man; and Leo Yerxa, a Fort Frances area art- ist of international suc- cess. The centre gratefully acknowledges the On- tario Bicentennial Advi- sory Commission for this grant and in keeping with the objectives, the best works from the shows will be purchas- ed and awards given out. The show is scheduled to open in Thunder Bay on June 20th and will run until August 4th, with plans for it to travel to other centres in On- tario afterwards: Local Media wins awards At the Thunder Bay Press Club's annual meeting, awards were presented to various media personnel for ex- cellence. Awards were given in thirteen cate- gories, including radio, television and print me- dia. Two awards were eli- gible for media-wide competition: Editorial/ Commentary, won by Ian Pattison of the Chronicle Journal/ Times News for an item entitled "Protection, for whom?", which quest- ions the criminal. just- ice system in the case of Corinna Carlson and the Professional Excel- lence Award was won by Jim Symonik of CBC- CBQ Radio Thunder Bay. This award is de- signed to recognize the "unsung" media per- son, who works daily at a high level of pro- fessionalism, regard- less of the assignment. Entries are initiated by management. Award winners re- ceived engraved plaques and a cash prize sponsored .by Northern and Central Gas Corp. Ltd. The winners are as follows: i Hard News Print - Leslie (Les) Papp of Lakehead Living; Hard News TV - Pamela Tennant/ Dave Dunk, CKPR/ CHFD; Hard News Radio - Larry Sanders, CBC- CBQ; Soft News Print - Bruce Langer, Chroni- cle Journal/Times News; Soft News TV - Colleen Rooney/ Dave Dunk, CKPR/ CHFD; Soft News Radio - Cory O'Kelly, CBC- CBQ; Sports Print - Jim Kelly Chronicle Jour- nal/Times News; Spot Photography - Mark Webster, Chroni- cle Journal/Times News; Public Affairs/ Documentary Radio David Gullason, Don Edwards, CBC-CBQ; and Public Affairs/Docu- -mentary TV - Fran Drabit, Monitor North. Judges for this year's Press Club Awards were Dusty Miller, Bob Burns and Marcia Dilley. ings in question, stated that he did not see the meeting that way and that the fine and re- scheduling of games had been decided at the first meeting. When questioned as to why Mr. Hanley voted to drop the 2 and 3 min- ute rules when he knew that the majority of his Association was in fa- vour of the rules, he replied that he does not represent the T.B.M.H.A. when he attends the North Shore M.H.L. meetings. He represents himself as a private citizen and votes according to his own conscience. ' The issue of the use of the 2 and 3 minute rules was not discussed out- right, since nothing can be accomplished until next season, however a number of people pre- sent managed to find ways to mention their stand on the subject. Jim Figliomeni was con- cerned that a couple of players in Schreiber quit playing hockey be- cause their coach was not playing every- one. As a result of the "ballot" appearing in the paper, Nes Trach was questioned by pa- rents regarding their "bench warmers'. He reported that he "spoke indirectly to the coach" involved and the child- ren in question "play- ed so much (in the next game) that they asked to be taken off". He added that if there were a 2 or 3 minute rule the players would not have gotten to play that much. Each of the divi- sions gave a report on the progress of their respective age group. It seemed as_ though things were running quite smoothly for all, other than a Bantam timetabling problem un- til it was Debbie Le- Clair's turn to speak. In reference to a recent Atoms game in Mara- ' thon she complained about violence and the lack of competent refer- ees. Apparently her team withstood count- less body-checks and wild slapshots until she felt she had to speak to the referees and Dick Nichols, president of the host Marathon _ Asso- ciation. The situation did not improve so the Terrace Bay players re- taliated and did their best to play the same dirty, rough game. Debbie regrets not hav- ing taken them off the ice as a solution to the problem. The Terrace Bay Association agreed to convey her concerns to Dick Nichols of Mar- athon to whom she had referred earlier as a 'swine' in her emo- tional description of the events. In response to Russ Phillips request, for a refund of his son's regis- tration fee, Doug Roberts explained that Mr. Phillips had ex- pressed his concern about lost ice time and had been instructed to call Mr. Roberts after he had a chance to remedy the situation. Mr. Phillips did not call back and Mr. Roberts was unable to reach him to inform him of scheduli- ng changes. After read- ing Mr. Phillips letter to the editor of the "NEWS", Mr. Roberts received a letter re- questing the refund. Jim Figliomeni put forward a motion that Mr. Phillips mot re- ceive the refund. During the discussion that fol- lowed, it was mentioned that at the time of com- plaint, only two hours of ice time had actually been lost. Gail Roberts . felt that since the ice time is being made up, the reason for request- ing a refund is no longer valid. Faye Figlio- meni added that many associations do not have Mite programs at all and that parents should ap- preciate the fact that the T.B.M.H.A. is concern- ed enough to run one. The motion to refuse the refund was carried. We still have room for more people in the fol- lowing courses we wish to offer: Art for Begin- ners, Bridge Lessons, Paper Tole Workshop, Weight: Training for Youths. Dance Lessons for Adults * We have received re- guests for lessons in Folk or Ballroom Dan- cing, and also for Clas- sical or Jive Dance. The response so far is very good but we still have room for more names; why not give us a call. We need names for in- structors, or anyone in- terested in participat- ing.
