HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1983-10-05, Page 11ei in reve The Zurich Eagles have waited two years to gain their revenge on Bayfield Knighthawks, and gain it they did. After be- ing defeated in each of the last two years in the final series of the South Huron Slo-Pitch League is "A" division, the Eagles swept the Hawks four games straight. The series was expected to be a very close battle between these two very strong teams but the Eagle's pitching and defense proved to be too much for the Hawks. The Knighthawks had the first two home games of the series in Varna, because of their overall first place finish in the league standings. The first game was played on Sept. 13 under the lights and this is where the Knighthawks first encountered a problem that was to plague them throughout the whole series, LACK of HITTING. Defensively the Hawks were strong enough but they could not seem to put anything together offensively mastering on- ly eight hits. The Eagles grabbed a 1-0 lead in the series with a 7-3 win. The game was very close until Joe Overholt drove a grand - slam home run in the sixth inning, which proved to be the Eagles' margin of victory. A superb .carne was played by Eagles shortstop Mark Regier, as he made three diving catches to snuff out the Knighthawk rallies. The Hawks were also frustrated at least twice by inning ending plays, which ended rallies. In game two played on Sept. 15, the Knighthawks again could muster only eight hits this time scoring only one run. The Eagles, meanwhile, scored eight runs and turned back the Knighthawks whenever they seemed to be corning back. Final score Eagles 8, Hawks 1. The series shifted to Zurich for games three and four with Knighthawks in trouble, down two games to none. On the night of game three Sept. 20, there was rain in the air but at game time there was no rain, only a light sprinkle. The Knighthawks errupted for a 15-4 lead after 342 innings but then the skies opened and the game was washed away. Game three was then rescheduled for Sept. 22 and was also played under the threat of rain. The rains stayed away long enough for the Eagles to win by a single run 12-11. The Hawks were hitting the ball well enough but some mental lapses on the field and the base Wks paths cost them dearly in this one. The Eagles again played consistent ball getting the important hits when they needed them. Eagle Pitcher Steve Rock also continued to be a key factor in the series as he kept the Knighhawk hitters off balance in each of the first three games. This set the stage for game four, which was played on Sept_ 25 at Zurich. The final game was completely dominated by the Eagles. Any heart the Knighthawks had left was squashed by a strong Eagle defense led by pitcher Steve Rock as he nabbed numerous hot shots up the middle destined for sure singles. Also Mark Regier was consistent at short stop. The Eagles won in a walk over 11-2 and captured their second "A" championship since the leagues' inception. The biggest factor in this series would seem to have been the Knighthawks sudden lack of hitting; as the team was held to 17 runs in four games. The Eagles deserve a great deal of credit for their play so do the Knighthawks. Ex- cept for this final series the Hawks had just a great year. Student enrollment stable, staff reduced BRUCEFIELD - Although overall student enrollment across Huron County has decreased, Huron Centennial School opened its doors to 504 students in Sept., 1983, a number equivalent to lat June's numbers. Along with a kindergarten enrollment of 50, 28 new students from Goderich, Ailsa Craig, Huron Park, Clinton, Hamilton, Vanastra, Fergus, Grey Central, Cottam, Turnberry and St. Joseph's joined the stu- dent body. Staff numbers were reduced when Mrs. Donna Shaddick, a Grade 1 teacher, was transferred to Victoria Public School in Goderich. Another staff change occurred as a mutual transfer saw Mr. Niall Straw move to Usborne and Mr. Al Beattie from Usborne, teaching Grade 5 at Huron Centen- nial. Camp Sylvan trip Each Grade 8 class visited Camp Sylvan for two days during the days of September 20-23. Our trip to Camp Sylvan was a great suc- cess. It was fun, lively, exciting and educa- - tional. We arrived home tired but happy. On our way to Sylvan we stopped at the Lamb - ton Heritage museum. We saw three crafts, shingle splitting, candle making and weav- ing wool. My favourite was shingle splitting because you could really get into it. When we arrived at Sylvan we ''ate our lunch and got right to work. Our first activi- ty was orienteering where we used com- passes, to find our way around the 400 acres of woods. My partner and 1 made it over the course in 52 minutes. My favorite activity,pf , the outdoor education school was. called survival where each student` caffie an animal for . two hours and attempted to survive in the face of predators, fire, disease, flood and man. We certainly found out how difficult sur- vival was for animals in the wild. We took nature hikes, did a historical tour of Sylvan including where the pioneers lived and the wagon trail they used. We identified some trees where a few of them don't live in Huron County and still found time for an evening sing song by the camp fire. It was a very busy but enjoyable time and a great ex- perience in outdoor education. - by Danny Kipfer.

Heliport service at hospital LISTOWEL - A 24-hour heliport service is finally' available to patients of Louise Mar- shall Hospital in Mount Forest. The heliport itself was completed in the spring but due to a Ministry of Health regulation requiring a warning light to be placed ona the communication tower on the roof hf-the hospital and delays in having the light in- stalled, the service did not receive ministry approval until Sept 211 Hospital Administrator Stanley Mid- dleton expects that making the heliport a 24-hour facility will greatly increase the number of emergency airlifts performed each year. "Once we're on 24 -hours it might be used 30 or 40 times a year," he said. Mr. Middleton estimated that 12 or 14 air lifts have been made in the last 12 months. TRY FF BEFORE YOU BUY IT! NOW!!
