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

Canada Post Corporation (comprising.all of

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

Last year's injuries included broken arms

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

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.

That's 8800 going down the drain
They're pulling the plug on the off -oil
grants of up to $800 in March. So it's
time to switch to a MegaSave high
efficiency gas furnace. And that's
just the start of big savings. Because
MegaSave is so efficient, it can trim
annual fuel costs by as much as 60%.'
Before 8800 goes down the drain and
more than half your heat goes up the
chimney, get off oil and on the phone
to your MegaSave dealer.
