Bet you've been on pins and needles waiting for us to reappear for another action - packed season, eh?? - - To begin with, I'm still the same ole exponent of soccer as last seaspn (tough break for you!) struggling to appear at least intelligent about this colorful sport. (At most, I'll come out as frazzled andwitless as ever!) I'd like to welcome back our faithful readers and fans and any new interested soccer buffs will eagerly be accepted with .open arms. There are no new faces on the team thus far, so I'll leave the introductions for the 4th Division team who have joined the league to become our alter -ego! I hope you'll turn out to support them and give them the added boost fans always bring, especially at the beginning of a brand new season. It'll give them added incentive (or something). So folks, Goderich can now boast of two terrific soccer teams called United "A" and United "B" (or officially: Goderich Police Falcons). I want toset the record straight right now at the, very start of the season; that I wholeheartedly support the "B" team and think there's a lot of talent amongst this group and'I will be mentioning their upcoming -games and -reporting the game results, but since I cannot possibly attend all "B" games because of conflicting schedules with the "A" team, it will only be scores I'll be giving with no rehash of the gar`nes. I started as a 3rd Division "groupie" and there lies the crunch: To "B" or not to "B"?? So please, no hard feelings okay, forts? Sunday's game was a "homer:. against London Carnival. It was a .great introduction to the new season too, since 'we won with'a shut -out of 1-0. Foxy Mama's boys still have that old "pizazz"! Thought we'd have a scoreless game for awhile there because there wasn't a single goal in' the entire first half. That had to be the longest 45 minutes anyone's ever put in; the London team was a hard -driving, .hard -playing bunch. They played a good brand of soccer and our guys were equal to them and equal to their challenges.. United played with cool intelligence and plenty of fortitude. There was some lovely passing and skillful ball control, and a few United men exhibited some incredible tenacity. We hit our stride during the second half and .we really got down to it and hit hard for any chance to take over the game and score for our advantage. It was tough going because Carnival was just as determined to do the same and some strong, heavy soccer was displayed,. Nevertheless, our Goderich guys }dere, just that:•hit g %& and durii 1 �fifteein miatites" f -the maich; Tain Lambert took possession of the ball in the center, managed tooutwit three of the opposition and sent a lovely pass over to Dan McCallum, who reacted instinctively on, cue and ' • belted the ball into the net to score the one and only goal of the day! Beautiful play, guys! The remainder of the match was a matter of holding on to our secure 'position as the opposition bore down and really . applied the pressure looking for a break. But no break was a tough break for them and. we celebrated our first win! United held on with pure will power and gut strength because we had only eleven men for the entire game and with no alternates to back you up, it can be pretty hairy! Howie "the General'' 'Gottschalk was injured' during the starting half and he played a full game through sheer "bull- headedness" and desire! Howie -always plays to the hilt and he sure proved his loyalty on Sunday. That's "Big G" for you! ! Harold ReffVnghaus played the whole match°with a head injury (not soc r:incurred) and executed some great plays and worked tirelessly for this win. If "Danger Man" has a swelled head it definitely isn't ego! ! Iain "the Rookie". Lambert played full. -out (and I mean full -out!) with a pulled tendon, yet you never would have known it. He produced some ` tricky -maneuvers and in- credible footwork and his tenacity can never b''e questioned! So, the "Showmanship Award" is deservedly handed to Iain for flair and flashiness! The receiver of the most numerous special awards is Dave "the Dude" Graf. Here's yet another: "I -think -I'm - Cracking -Up Award" ! Poor ole Dave injured his anklebone (again??) and he produced some heavy flak for the London team and played his usual keen type of soccer. What can you say about Dave? He's terrific! ! Clare Sager's efforts were unflagging and his dogged determination helped gain our secure position and keep the play going to our advantage. Way to dig, Clare! The "Player -of -the -day" has .to be Dan McCallum who scored our goal and played ..with skill and perseverance. Good show, Dan! - ""Sportsmen -of -the -game" were Harold and Howie for obvious reasons! 4 stars for the 2 "H's" ! Thank you, team for winning .this game. Our next game is en Sunday, May 25th at 4:00 p.m. against Oakridge andthe United "B" game is on the same day at 6:00 p.m. against London 'F1 ngarian "B". Both games are here at home, so come out and catch us doing "our thing"! Tune in United and turn on to soccer! God bless, keep fit and stay happy. Love ya much, . n Foxy Mama P.S, The "B" team lost their game in London, 5-0. Don't worry guys, you have not yt Legun to fight! !

He said he sees his paper as competition for the Western. Ontario Farmer. He said he hates to see money going out of the area, and hopes to capture the Huron County market by keeping his paper on local rural subjects. - At the Ontario'Federation of Agriculture meeting in 'Clinton recently, Mr. Roulston ex- plained the format of his paper. He said he hopes the "Rural Voice" will contain features and opinion articles on farming written by experienced far- , . mers. • The OFA, agreed : 'at its meeting to' buy subscriptions for all its members in,return for " a free ad.,that .will allow jt. to publish, its"',monthly newsletter this way. In the future if oil or gold is found on your property, ,.it will not necessarily belong to you. This was just one of the items„ reported by Jack Stafford„ at the Ontario Federation of `4 Agriculture meeting. This item was read from an IFYOU UELP WE CAN HELP OFA director report from a meeting held in Toronto earlier. Mr. Stafford said the provincial government ` may start "taxing something 'we don't, know we've got." The OFA said the government is considering levying a tax on property owners for their mineral rights. Gordon'Hill, president of the OFA, said although, this, is not law yet, the government is. considering this proposal. He said he feels the Ministry of Natural Resources is "moving ' quickly toward this type _ of legislation" to en- courage the'working of mineral resources. • He Said this is one of the .. recommendations of a com- mittee made one and a half to two years ago. The real details of . such legislate are not ' known. It could base the tax on. property tax assessment and the amount could be returned to province or ket at the niunicipallev I. If • a person discovered minerals on his land and previously wasn't paying the, tax, would he own his minerals pr would they belong to the province? The OFA feel it's-. ,the province's "way to confiscate the mineral rights on farm property." .Mr. Hill said the OFA ap- 'proached the Minister of Natural Resources for an exemption for farmers, The Minister wouldn't say o the province wouldn't do it, • Mr. Hill said, and from the.'tone of his answer "we felt his intent was to go ahead," with the legislation. ake ourwalls stand out. the final touch to tasteful decorating. professional picture framing and custom wall, grouping designs.
