Goderich cieaiz up in tourney The Clinton Housewives Softball -team , scoured the Goderich° Bats Blue 24-8 in• the last game of ,the regular season \ last Thursday night, August 10 here in Clinton; and then went to Listowel last Saturday .where they won the championship trophy in the Listowel Sportfest Tournament. The Clinton ladies, who are recognized as one of the best teams in the area now, beat four other teams; on their way to the tourney win, including a 19-4 win over the Kin- cardine Royal Bank team in the opening game, followed by a 9-4 win over the Goderich Superstars, and 11-7 extra inning win over Kincardine Bruce Inn, and finally a 12-8 Victory over the Listowel Furrows • in the cham- pionship game. In that last regular season win over Bats Blue, The Housewives naturally speaking allowed one run in the top of the second before Louise Brown started the girls off with single, followed by a double by Carol Lobb and a triple by Mary Morley to get back five runs for Clin- ton. But with two out in the third, Kirn Green hit a grand slan�yer to bring in four runs for Goderich, and Clinton replied in their half with Louise Brown and Pat Norman each hitting triples, adding two more runs. -.Kim Green then hit a triple for Goderich in the fourth, picking up to more RBI's, but Carol Lobb followed in Clinton's turn at bat by getting a home run on errors, and Mary Morley belted out a triple as the Housewives scored eight more runs and never looked back. Goderich couldn't make the scoreboard in the fifth, but made several bad mistakes, Most people are aware or the dangers of winter such as frostbite and hypothermia, but what about summer hazards? Dehydration and heatstroke are two afflictions that should be • watched in hot weather, whether you. are camping, _ hiking or just working around the • house. Dehydration can occur during any time of the year, but will sometimes slip up on you easier in coldweather when the sensation of thirst is less demanding. A .person generally loses up to two quarts of fluids per day under normal conditions, and this amount can double as a result of overexertion on a hot day. It is vital that these fluids be replaced in order for the body to con- , tinue to function. normally. In winter, dehydration is almost always associated with frostbite or hypothermia since dehydration reduces the blood flow to the capillaries. Dehydration ,can occur suddenly, but will generally build up over a two or three day period. In extreme cases, deathcan occur, but even in its milder forms it can cause problems for you especially if you're in the bush. Lack of co-ordination and disorientation are two sym- ptoms ..that can be dangerous while hiking. The end result could be a serious injury as a result of a fall or losing your way from camp which would only compound the problem. Two other signs to watch for are restless sleep (excessive dreaming and insomnia) and a darkening of the urine. When these indications occur, increase your fluid intake (even if you don't feel thirsty), and add more salt to your diet. A few salt tablets packed in your toilet or -first aid kit are a good idea along withsome water purification tablets if the quality of , your water supply is doubtful. These few precautions can easily make your outing more enjoyable. .. Heatstroke is summer's equivalent to hypothermia and is caused by an almost com- pletely opposite condition. Hypothermia occurs when the temperature of the core area of the body drops, while heatstroke is a result of the core temperature rising to a dangerous high. People die from heatstroke every year and often it is a result of .the victim's companions not recognizing the symptoms of the stroke, and confusing it with a heart attack. Heatstroke will occur as a result of overexertion on a hot day when the body's cooling mechanism cannot keep up to the demand. Dehydration also plays a part here, so if you're not accustomed to working in the heat, take it easy during a hot wave. The other time - heatstroke can . occur is when the air tem- perature rises above the normal body tem- perature. In this situation, if a check in per- spiration occurs, the circulatory system reverses its function and starts to raise your internal temperature instead of lowering- it. What happens is that instead of the blood in your capillaries being cooled through evaporation of perspiration, it is actually warmed by the air temperature above normal body temperature causing prostration. The sudden collapse of the person involved is the reason why this affliction is often confused with a heart attack. What do you look for to guard against heat- stroke? Dehydration again plays a big role to be .sure to keep the fluid intake up during hot weather. 'In the first stages of heatstroke, the victim will often sweat excessively and shows signs of irritability. Fatigue, headache and nausea often occur, and the victim may often chill just before collapse. Often (though not always) he willstd sweating and the skin will appear 'red and feel hot and dry to the touch. When the body temperature reaches ap- proximately 105 degrees F., the victim will collapse and if sweating has stopped, it will soar to 110 degrees F. in very short order. This is the point where death can occur. If a person collapses in hot weather, they ' should be treated immediately for heatstroke. Get the person into shade if possible, remove as much clothing as possible, and cool them down. Dousing with water and, vigorous fanning will increase evaporation and promote the cooling 'process. When body temperature drops to normal, keep the victim out of the heat and sun as 'much as possible, and get them to see a doctor. Heatstroke is nothing to fool with.

The umpire called the game at the .end of the sixth on the ` "mercy" ruling after Clinton scored three more runs to Goderich's one. The Housewives are now taking a well deserved rest as they wait for .the Industrtial League schedule to be completed and the play- offs to start. Soccer team beat London In a game played last Sunday at London's Silverwood's Park, the Clinton Women's Soccer Team defeated the London Ringers- by a score of 8 - 0. Wendy Tyndall scored the first goal of the game early in the first half. With backing from a, strong defensive line, she and fellow teammate Doris Lawson, each scored two more goals to give Clinton a 5 - 0 lead at the end of the first half. In the second half, Jill Clynick added three more goals to the score to give Clinton an easy 8 - 0 victory. The final home game of the -season fo'r the Women's Team will be held -this, Sunday,. August 19 at 6:00 p.m. in the Community Park, against the Sarnia Juniors. . The sport of lacross was explained to a dozen interested people at a clinic'in the Clinton arena last Thursday night. The game was explained to the small group 1 of people including • Michele Flowers, left, Mrs. Fleet, and Marian Doucette by an expert from Kincardine. (News -Record photo) sports GQderich Township ball In Goderich Township softball action over the past week, the pee wee boys advanced to the finals by putting Varna out in two games straight. They played Benmiller Tuesday night in the first game of that series. Lady luck didn't shine on the other Goderich Township teams, however, as most of them are done for the season. The midget girls were, eliminated last week when they lost to Stanley Township, and the pee wee girls suffered a similar fate when Stanley also put them out. The tykes were beaten by Benmiller 'A' and are through for the year, as they lost last Wed- nesday night and again on Monday night. However, the Monday night contest was a close. one, with the game going the 'full seven innings before Benrni'ller won9-8.
