Town strikes out in recreational league As the human race has adapted to its changing environment in order to survive so must the Georgetown Baseball Association in the very near future What Im referring to Is the growth of the GBAs member ship which has reached its capacity of GOO players this year With only one regulation sized field to play on and given the associations present schedule registrations will either have to be capped or schedules will have to be changed Currently the associations bouse league teams play twice per week not including the weekends since the GBAs organizers believe it would deter many of its members from join ing since they might not want to give up quality time that families might not otherwise have According to the Town of Hills Recreation and Parks Department funding for a new regulation field will not be given unless the present one can be shown to be at near capacity which isnt the case if it isnt be ing utilized on the weekends The rep teams use the field then but that usually amounts to only two games leaving most of Saturday and Sunday open Since the expected construction of a community field in Georgetown South has been delayed due to the slowdown in the building market resulting in less money to the town via lot levies the day another regula tion field is built looks to be far in the future To start the recreation depart ment doesnt have money for a new field until the 1994 budget This doesnt guarantee one will be built for the 1995 season since it could be turned down by coun cil which may be trying to money wherever it can The Towns track record when it comes to answering the recrea tional needs of its citizens doesnt give much hope for a new field either I begin with the Georgetown District High School field It was in terrible condition last year earning warnings from referees that play would be suspended for safety reasons If improvements werent made Whether the cause was from overuse because of a lack of available fields shoddy maintenance or both Georgetowns busiest field was is a disgrace While on the subject of disgraces most residents are painfully aware of the lousy shape the Acton Arena is in Every year various repairs have to be made in order to keep the building from being shut down for safety reasons or simply to keep the ice from melting Residents have asked for a new facility for several years and have yet to see any concrete moves made by a majority of council When you see that two heavily used facilities arent receiving the attention they deserve the prospect of getting the goahead for a new baseball field by is almost nonexistent Look on the bright side given the right kind of scheduling skipping the cot tage or the relatives for two or three weekends wont really be that bad right Top performances by Rebel athletes NineGeorgetown District High School athletes advanced in championship competition last week with five wrestlers moving to the Ontario finals in

consolation at a tournament in Milton In the opening game against Flamboro Georgetown ran into the same hot goalie who stoned them in the County playoffs After firing shots at the tion net Fuels only goal came on an end to end rush by Andrew Beavan That enough as Flamboro came away with a win That toss meant that a win over Milton in the next game was a must for any chance to get into the final The boys came up with a solid effort against Milton but once again a hot spoil ed the day and a 2 1 loss was the result Ryan Boudreau scored the only goal on a pass from Allan The fourth team in the tourna ment was St Catherines They beat both and Milton which meant Georgetown was in for a tough time Saturday after noon As it turned out the good guys played their best game of the year and got a well deserved 3 lwin All year Coach John Andres has been preaching positional play teamwork and team defence He got It all in this game Goaltender Scott Herbert was flawless and only a defensive cost him a shutout Allan Rasmussen opened the scoring when he went end to end beat both defencemen and found the top left comer with a rising shot Rasmussen had an ding tournament as he was a tireless worker at both ends of the rink With Georgetown shorthanded and St Catherines pressing Steven Smith caught the don on a line change and went end to end before decking the goalie for his teams second goal Late in the game Michael Crawford sent Danny Cabral in on the lone defenceman Once again Cabrol showed some nifty as he dazzled both the defender and the netminder for the final goal This win gave Georgetown lots of momentum going into the Con solation Final Sunday afternoon against Flamboro As in the St Catherines game the boys were flying but once again they t solve the Flamboro goalie and after two periods the game was scoreless Halfway through the final frame Andrew Beavan flew down the right side but went in too deep for a good shot He back toward the boards and put a quick backhand pass on Cabrals stick In the slot Cabral redirected the pass into the net for the only goal of the game As the boys came forward to accept their trophies the largest cheer was reserved for Coach John Andrews He never gave up on these boys and his efforts and his patience were much ap preciated by the boys ant the parents Special thanks also went to Manager Brian Clarke and Trainer Pete Wanner
