The Central Huron Secondary School Redmen junior boys volleyball team used more than smoke and mirrors to defeat the Listowel Lightning three games to none in recent league play. Leading the charge was captain Devin Simpson with 42 serves including nine aces. Veterans Adam Cronin and Tyler Black, both from Blyth, also served extremely well for the Redmen. Rookie Jesse McIntyre and second-year player Matt Chalmers, from Blyth, played exceptionally well in the libero position turning tough Listowel serves into great passes to Redmen setters. The Redmen also defeated St. Marys in the third game of the set, after losing the first two games by close scores. This gives the team a winning record of 10 – 8 in league play. This past weekend in Lower Lakes Female Hockey League action, the Saugeen Maitland Lightning Midget As were on a road trip playing three straight hockey games. The girls went two and one over the course of the weekend with victories coming against Chatham 2-1 and Stratford 3-1 with the lone loss to Cambridge 3-2. Goal scoring came from Victoria Bertrand, Port Elgin; Dru Austin, Goderich; Kathryn Roy, Owen Sound; Tammy Freiburger, Wingham; Belina Hooper, Meaford and Ona Mezenberg, Owen Sound. Goalkeeping in all three games was excellent by both Emily Kelly, Port Elgin and Sarah McGall, Owen Sound. The girls will next be in action Oct. 17-19 in Scarborough for the Toronto Aero’s Solid Gold Hockey Tournament at the Can-Lan Ice Sports Arena.

Farms in Huron County and Ontario produce a variety of delicious and nutritious fruits and vegetables. However, one caution everyone should keep in mind is to beware of unpasteurized juices. During this season when unpasteurized apple juice and apple cider is available at local orchards, farm gates, farmers’ markets, and fall fairs, it is especially important to take care says Public Health Manager, Pamela Scharfe. She says it is important to read the label. If the label says the juice is unpasteurized it means the juice has not been treated to eliminate disease-causing bacteria. Unpasteurized apple juice could be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella, Cryptosporidium and some viruses. Harmful microorganisms like these can make vulnerable individuals very ill and can even lead to death. Scharfe says children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems should not consume any unpasteurized products, including unpasteurized apple juice or raw milk. The following tips can reduce your risk of becoming ill from drinking unpasteurized juice and cider: • Boil unpasteurized products before drinking. • Don’t rely on freezing or refrigeration to make unpasteurized juices or ciders safe. • Make sure unpasteurized products are refrigerated. • Do not drink unpasteurized products after the best before date has passed. Scharfe says it’s a wonderful time of year for fresh juices and cider but it’s important for people to be careful with unpasteurized products.
