Local businesses are being asked to create them and residents of Huron County to come out to bid on or win them. It’s all part of the Huron County Community Child Abuse Co-ordi­ nating Committee’s (CCACC) first Teddy Bear Dream Auction and Raffle to be held at the Goderich Township Community Centre in Holmesville on Saturday, May 13. International marathon swimmer and Queen of the English Channel, Cindy Nicholas, will be the guest speaker at the combined dinner, auction, and raffle. Tickets are being sold in advance for $25. Fifteen-dollar tax receipts for chari­ table purposes will be issued. All proceeds from the event will go to the CCACC to continue its child-abuse prevention work. In a plea for local support, Fundraising chairperson Betty Bedard-Bidwell said, “The CCACC is a local charity preventing child abuse in Huron County. It makes a differ­ ence in our community by teaching children how to recognize and avoid abusive situations, by provid­ ing information about positive par­ enting to parents, and by increas­ ing the level of expertise and co-ordination of local people deal­ ing with child abuse. We depend on the generosity of the commun­ ity” The CCACC is the sponsor of the school-based Kids on the Block child-abuse prevention program,, has developed guidelines to assist local police, schools, hospitals, and Family and Children’s Services in the reporting and investigating of child abuse, and has organized numerous workshops to increase the expertise of local professionals who deal with families and child­ ren. Donations don’t have to be material goods, says Bedard-Bid­ well, “We’re willing to take any­ thing from a sunny afternoon on your boat or a weekend at your cottage, to a gourmet dinner at your home. Businesses that do not have products to donate will be asked to help the committee purchase “dream packages,’’ such as a night at the Stratford Theatre or a get-away weekend in Ottawa. Businesses or local residents who have not been approached by a committee member, but who have a dream to donate may call Mary Sehl at 524-5461 or 1-800-265-5198. Tickets for the Teddy Bear Dream Auction are limited, but can still be purchased by calling the above numbers. On the weekend of April 7-9, the Radford Overload Oldtimer Hockey team visited the city of St. Cathar­ ines to compete in the Old Vienna Provincial Hockey Championships. This was to be the final hockey meet of the year for the oldtimers who had had an extremely success­ ful year being one of the new teams in the area. Radford Overloads met their first competition at 8 p.m. Friday even­ ing against the Omemee Goodtim­ ers from Cambridge. The game was a hard fought contest with end-to-end action. Spectacular goal tending was displayed by Harry Wilson who, time and again, thwarted the Omemee attack. Rad­ ford Overloads went on to win their first game in their group series 3-0. The Overloads however were going to receive little time to enjoy their win as they were again required to play the Westend Old Boys at 7 a.m. Saturday morning. This meant an early rise of 5:30 to catch the bus to travel to St. Catharines from Niagara Falls. It appeared that the Overloads were awake and prepared for this early morning game as they went on to beat the Westend Old Boys of St. Catharines 7-0. At this point the Radford Overloads had two wins and a plus of eight which almost assured them of a semi-final play­ off birth. Game four was not held until Sunday at 1 a.m. at the Niagara Falls Memorial Arena, home of the Niagara Thunder. Here the Over­ loads met Hayes Dana and behind some extremely strong playing by Gary Courtney, Wayne McDougall, Brian Black, the boys soundly defeated Hayes Dana six to two. Again there was outstanding goal­ tending through the first three group series games by both Jim Frayne and Harry Wilson. The Blyth goaltenders at this point over a three game period had a 1.3 goals against average. This win assured the Radford Overloads not only a playoff birth but first place in their group round robin. At 4:30 p.m. on Sunday after­ noon Radford Overloads were to meet the Lincoln Old Blades, also from St. Catharines. This was to be the hardest and closest game of the tournament for the Overloads.
