Locals in Niagara Three runners in track meet THE Wednesday July I 1MI Alison Irvine left and Tara right did well at the Owen Games over the weekend Melissa was first la tee 1 MO metre run while Tare came lint to the abet put Allien was In the metres Photo by Rob Irvine The Geminis speak out We feel that now Is the time to clear up matter of merge or no merger At no time did the Executive the Georgetown Hockey Club express the desire to merge with the Acton Sabres The origin of the merger idea seems to be Independent reporter Robin Inscoe who at end of the end seasons argued for this to happen and who tried quite bard lo get the two executives talking merger However at that time there was no interest by either group first positive move was made near the end of tbe 196162 season when the same Acton Executive member approached both Bob McCand has President and Bob Past President during games In Acton Not long after the season ended Coach brought up the subject with Bob Girdwood during a talk In his office At this point it was strictly one executive member to another without the full Executive being advised Mr Girdwood decided that the Annual Meeting of the full GEMINI membership was close that the subject should be brought up then and It was Tbe memoes of tbe local press were present at that time and will recall that the direction from membership was to proceed in discussions with Acton in a positive maimer We believe that this was done After several meetings with Acton the pro a and con a were brought back to a meeting of the full Georgetown Executive and they decided that a merger for 1683 was out Acton was notified by phone same evening Three factors stood out in the decision 1 Both teams had sent In their 196283 entry fees to the 0 H A so for this one season both clubs were stored that no other Junior club could start up In their rink However as far as the 0 A was concerned either Acton or Georgetown would be operating not both or a combined team If the merged team continued in 198384 it was quite conceivable that the H A would place a Junior club in the nonoperating rink Which town was prepared to take that chance Neither If point 1 had been settled and the OHA notified that home base was for arguments sake Acton and Georgetown was not operating then only Acton affiliated players Midgets Juveniles etc would be available to tbe merged team The Georgetown Junior Hockey Club a charter states thai It was founded to provide another level of to Georgetown boys 1 Time was running out Points and above might have ben taken to the 0 H A and a favorable written ruling been received However it would take weeks for that to happen and Items such as finding a Coach selling program ads searching for ponton has to start In midMay or not get done property We will continue talking to Acton and the 0 A however It is for the 198384 season Jules retires Acton Junior Sabre coach Jules Russlanl won be returning to tbe Sabres as coach but he will remain as a director on their executive toU the Herald He said that he wasn yet missing coaching In Junior hockey and would be content to Just relax coached the Acton Sabres for Ihe past two
