Scheduled to appear in Goderich court on Oct. 15, the 33 -year-old London woman — formerly of the Clinton -area — has been charged with eight counts of making forged documents and one count of fraud over $5,000. The alleged activity began in April of 2004 and continued through to March 2007, resulting in a loss of more than $32,000 for the organization. "The executive of the Huron - Perth Lakers Hockey Association acknowledges that charges have been laid against a former trea- surer of the organization relating to financial irregularities during her tenure," stated the associa- tion's website (www.huronperth- lakers.ca). "The issues were brought to light by new measures put in place by the executive's budget review committee." The accused's name has yet to be released because charges are expected to be laid formally this week, OPP Const. Joanna Van Mierlo said on Friday. Van Mierlo is the new communi- ty services officer (CSO) for the Huron OPP. Currently in its 12th season, tryouts for the Lakers' eight teams were held last April and Lakers president Hugo Maaskant said the 2007-08 season is well underway "with most teams on the ice three or fur times already." "This was confined to past fiscal periods and did' not affect our budgeting for this season," he a d d e d. "Financially we're strong and secure."

But when she misses a shot he does nothing but encourage anyway, she says. Doig has been golf- ing since the age of 3 and has been playing in tournaments for about four years. She now plays on the Tyson Tour, an Ontario tour.for junior golfers. She says she plays about 10 tournaments a year. In the sum- mers she golfs almost everyday, usually before or after work as she works at the Seaforth Golf Course, her family's club. On Aug. 21, the Seaforth Golf Course held its annual junior tournament. Doig not only won the girls' division, but also fin- ished as the number 1 junior, beating all the boys. "It's exciting to final- ly beat the guys at our course," she says. "We've always been close but it's exciting to win." She beat the top junior boy by five shots having shot the best round of her life, a 69. The junior boy win- ner was Alie Maxwell, who started golfing after he started work- ing at the course. This is the last year he can compete in the junior tournament, some- thing he has won for two consecutive years.
