Jay's Bar and Grill from Stratford captured women's "B" honours. The Huron Hurricanes Aquatic Club swimmer struck gold in the 200m breast stroke in a titne of 2:36, a silver in the individ- ual medley in 2:22 and bronze in the 100m breast stroke. She also placed sixth in the 400m individual medley in a time of 5:05 and was 17th in the 400m freestyle and 200 fly. The medal haul wasn't pre- dicted. Cameron hadn't been invited to the spring training camp for swimmers consid- ered Canada Games hopefuls. Her weekend performances qualify her for four swims at the Nationals in Edmonton on the long weekend in August. TSN is covering those Canada Games.

Deer draw changes ' Ontario Natural Resources Minister Chris Hodgson has announced changes to the antlerless deer draw, designed to make applying for validation tags more con- venient for hunters. . They can choose one of two different systems to apply for antlerless deer validation tags. Under the first system, Ontario hunters may obtain their resident's deer license and enter the antlerless deer draw by telephone, from either a touch-tone or a rotary dial phone until July 31 at 1- 800-288-1155. The lines will be open from 4 a.m. to mid- night (EDT) seven days a week. Callers need a valid 15 -digit hunting version out- doors card number and a valid Visa or Master Card. They must also identify which wildlife management unit they prefer. The second system allows hunters to continue applying by the traditional paper process through the purchase of a resident's deer license or farmer's deer license at any of the ministry's hunting license issuer outlets. The application for the antlerless draw is attached to the paper license. This form must be received by MNR no later than 4:30 p.m. (EDT) Thursday, July 31. Letter a little late WOMEN'S Connie Marion vs Mary Doig; Gail Hiltz - bye; Donna Shaddick vs Fran Donohue; Netty Kuipers - bye; Gladys MacGregor vs Betty Burns; Barb Norman . A Mitchell woman recently got a letter in the mail from an old friend, about two -and - a -half years late. Former Mitchell resident Anna Mullenix, now living in Punta Gorda in Florida, mailed a letter from there to Ellie Williams of Mitchell on Dec. 9, 1994. It took its time, arriving this April 30. ment, the biggest in Seaforth, with profits going to the Lions Club and Seaforth minor hockey. Organizer Kevin Cardno says the tour- nament could have handled 36 teams but just didn't have enough ball diamonds. Yell FORE before! The Tartan Chameleon Golf Notes by C.A. Doig In the last few weeks there have been a couple of inci- dents at the local course that have prompted me to write about safety. Golf is not a rough and tumble game with body checking, tackling, bone crunching, and bruising. It is essentially a gentle game of skill and finesse. However, in addition to the danger from lightning, already dis- cussed, there are other occa- sions for injury on the golf course. Ninety percent of the time they are caused by care- lessness, lack of awareness, and impatience. Golf is a game where a number of people come out at various times during the day and share the same facility. Most golf courses take up large areas and even 100 golfers or more can enjoy the course if they all are aware of the need to respect other player's rights to enjoy the facility too. The most common injury is caused when someone is struck with a golf ball. They are hard. They are also trav- eiling very fast (most of the time), and they are generally coming through the air as well (most of the time). This combination means severe injurycan result when some- one is struck by an errant golf ball. Prevention is worth a lot more than cure. I am not sure of the metric equivalents from the old "ounce and pound" saying, but we, in the golf business, would much rather see everyone being careful and never having to deal with injuries at all. Even the professionals hit 'an errant shot once in awhile and someone in the gallery gets hurt. I am often amazed at the faith many gallery viewers have in their idols. They crane their necks, lean in over the ropes and inch forward, all in an effort to see their golf idol rip at it. I would much rather watch the tee -shot from behind. Now if the pros hit a few bad shots off the fairways, just imagine what is going on during a busy weekend at your local course. Balls are flying in every direction, with varying are going to be times when trajectories and speeds. There Continued on Page 17. Doig in Uxbridge An article in a recent Uxbridge Tribune notes 36 - year -old Seaforth native Ian Doig "will be working as a freelance teaching pro at the Mill Run Golf Club when he's not competing in Ontario -based Canadian Professional Golf Associa- tion (CPGA) events this sea- son." "Ian finds himself calling Uxbridge home after striking. up a relationship with noted local female hockey player Ruth Campkin while playing in the CPGA Championship at Markham's Mandarin Golf and Country Club last sum- mer. He returned to his win- ter home in Tampa, Fla. for much of the offseason to take part in the usual assortment S�tlnumd on Peine 17.
