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.

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. The
hockey was excellent and fan
support was fantastic and at the
