(Anne Narejko photo ) Heartbreaking loss By Caroline Watt CLINTON - On February 1 the Central Huron Secondary School's (CHSS) I Senior boy's basketball team travelled to Palmerston where they suffered a heart- breaking 70 - 60 loss. The C.H.S.S. Redmen dominated the court for the first half of the game', outscoring the Norwell Redmen 42 - 33. However, the game saw a complete turn around as the Norwell team caught the visitor's attack. The high scorers for the C.H.S.S. Redmen were Austin Roorda who led the way with 25 points followed by Dan Reidy with 12, Steve Elliot with 10, Shawn Lester and Gary Godkin each checking m with five points. In Seaforth on February 4, the Redmen were faced with yet another loss. The Golden Bears could not be stopped for they dominated their home court and outscored the Redmen 72 - 41 Scoring for the Redrnen were Austin Roorda with nine points, Gary Godkin eight, Dan Reidy five, Mike.Segeren and Shawn Lester with four, Dean Cart- wright and James 'Robson three, Steve Elliot and Don Hearn two, and Terry Cox chipping m with one. The Redmen then found themselves on the road again as they travelled to Stratford last Thursday night. Here . the C.H.S.S. Senior boys engaged in one of their finest perfor- mances this season. An enthusiastic and super -supportive audience encouraged the home team Rams to a 60 - 47 victory over the Redmen. The first half was very close with the Rams leading 33 - 27. However, the Ram's strong, press in the second half enabl- ed them to take advantage of the Redmen and jump on their score. The high scorer for the game was Austin Roorda with 21 points. Dan Reidy scored eight points while Gary Godkin and Shawn Lester, both with seven, helped the Redmen out. ; The C.H.S.S. Redmen stand with a three win, five loss record. February 11 saw the Redmen challenge the St. Mary's Salukies, in hopes of improving their record. This will be the first of two final home games before the play-offs are determined. Carriers clear with conditions Letter Carriers in the Huron Division of Canada Post Corporation (comprising.all of southwestern Ontario). are once again gear ing up to deal with the difficult walking con- ditions they face every winter. • Slippery streets and steps each year con- tribute to a variety, of injuries that result in bulging .lost -time accident statistics. at Canada Post. Last winter in Huron, 245 in- juries due to slips and falls were reported in the Division's 39 Letter Carrier offices. A total of 3,797 work days were lost, represen- ting a direct cost to Canada Post of $581,800: If replacement and overtime costs were in- cluded the dollar figure would more than double. Special grips that are strapped to Letter Carrier's footwear were introduced in Huron last year and were credited with a significant reduction in injuries over the lat- ter hall of the winter period. "Our safety ef- forts will continue but we think further reductions would occur if city 'sideswalks and private walks and steps were kept. clear of ice and snow," said Dan Dobbs, Manager Occupational Health and Safety in Huron.

"We want the public to realize the pain and suffering the injured Letter Carrier goes through. When they know, • we think they'll respond," concluded Mr. Dobbs. Last year's injuries included broken arms and legs, severely strained backs and, in one instance, a fractured skull. Residents are being asked to keep their walks and steps as clear as possible and to use sand and salt when necessary. Women Today wants to encourage a number of self-help groups in the county to form on a wide variety of concerns that local women will identify. The organization believes the best way to do this is to train women to run self-help groups and support them in establishing the groups they wish to form. Self-help groups are already organized in other areas of the province, says Fran Mc - Quail, a Women Today board member, and groups can form for a variety of reasons with the focus being women's health and well being. A self-help group could be a social group for isolated older women or for Women Today has worked from a self- help and networking perspective because it recognizes adult women have the ability to identify and work on solutions to their own problems when given the forum to do so. Self help groups are such a forum.
