"I believe it is possible te resolve the problemn witli soi-e reason- able co-eperation among thc other users (of the ice). lt's kind of like the organizaition agajînst the littie guy, and 1 don't like that!" Mayor Newmnan wvent orn te say that thiese otlier erganiza- tiens, apparently rcfcrrîng to minior hockey, Junior A, and figure skating, "have banded together te squeeze out the Sr. A." Coun. iim Gartshore said "I don't like what's been going on around here either. You can't win and you can't lose ini this particular matter. Frankly, 1 agree with the, Mayor, there wasn't a heck of a lot of co-operation at the last (public) meeting (on this matter)." Never-the-less Coun. Gartshore steadfastly voted against any motions Io allow the Sr. A. team ice time. Coun. Joy Thompson caine out strongly for allow- ing the Sr. A. teamn and even received applause from a seg- ment- of the audience. "We have a beautiful arena that is everybody's.1 can't sec why in a municipality as or 5 clubs can't get together. Nobody is being deprived. If the kids want to play hockey bad enough they'l1 get there." The motion by Coun. Thompson to adopt the cor- rected schedules to include Sr. A. was put to a vote and tied and lost. Mayor New-' man, Coun. Gerry Emm, and Coun. Thompson were for, and counicillors Jim Gartsh- ore, Don Lovelock and John Goodwin were against. Mayor Newman made a motion te refer the matter to a special meeting of coun- cil on Thiursday night, which was subsequently defeatod on a ticd vote with the samne parties voting the samne way. The Mayor then moved: thiat the finalization of the schedule be referred to the operations committee. This was again tied and lost. The Mayor then moved for discussion in committee of the whole..tied and lost. Mayor Newman immedi- ately. moved that submissions be invited from the. other organîzations to be in by Thursday at 5 p.m. to see if any level of co-operation ex- ists that may provide a sch- edule to accept Sr. A. and the replies, if any, be referred to counicil and committee of the whole Thursday at 7:15 p.m. to review the re- Port on the responses.
