The Huron Health Unit consisted of Ralph Foster. Paul Dawson, John Orr, Laurie Paquette and Jack MacKinnon. Regular Shirley Fisher was unable to compete and it re- quired two men to fill her gap. The final game was decided in the first three ends as the Foresters were flawless, while the Health Unit appeared a little ner- vous. The Health Unit had not been put into a cone -from -behind situation at any time in the bonspiel, as they easily defeated the Maitland Golfers and the GPI Teachers No. -2 teams. The Foresters,: on the other and, had faced a tough challenge from the. GDCI Teacher No. 1 Unit requiring a last - shot effort by skip Cam Bogie to seal the victory. Recognizing the talent of the op- position, the Foresters took no. chances and gave no breaks to this year's most im- proved team. The final 6 to 2 score clouds the tightness of this match, for it was not until the seventh end that Forester skip ' Cam Bogie felt confident enough to refer to the championship game as "A piece of cake". Congratulations gentlemen. The Maitland Golfers were the Health Unit's first victim and obviously disliked the taste of defeat so much that they refus- ed to consider it again. The four lassies: Lynn Todgham, Penny Peters, Nancy Nephew and Eleanor Erskine, eliminated the Lady Foresters and Super Shell to clairh third prize. For a team that con- sidered their eighth place finish surpris- ingly high, they certainly showed their ap- preciation that they belonged with the "big boys." jn the tophalf of the standings„ north- place. went lo another tertinle. foursorne but this unit,had a distinctively western look about it.

Vicki irulbert and Beirnil;e Moore outdrew and outshot Local, 1863 in the final ittlatest, 'A so thoroughly, that Local ship„ Glen • Falkiner 'was looking, for cover by the fourth ,end. The fact -that two of • the top three winning teams were female units, merely illustrates the equalitarian nature of curling. Although some of the male teams did complain of "biological" war- fare it was clear that good curling more than "good-looking., was the key, factor in the success of the MaitlandGaiters and the Lady Foresters. "Good looking" of course, played absolutely no role inthe male Foresters Championship victory! • Trophies donated by Sheaffer Pen were presented to the Garb and Gear fivesorne of Linda Bell, Bob Riehl, Amy and John Anderson and skip Jim Bell as they won • the "B" division of the bonspiel. Incredible manoeuvering. by this unit resulted in a strategic lith -place finish from whicb.1hey conquered the ninth and 10th placed teams to win their division. The morning game against the Sifto-Salt "ilaniacs" Certainly started poorly for Garb and Gear skip Jim • Bell as he was unable to read the ice cor- rectly and found himself down by four paints by the second end. Bell, however, resisted the tinge to throw his broom and the game and bounced back with three in the third. The remainder of the match was a see -saw affair that came down to the last rock. Maniac skip Phil Foster's final shot slid just inches too far and Garb and Gear found themselves in the final. _ . Also in the final was the top seeded team, the GDCI Vikings. The young unit of Tanya Jeffrey, Mike Collins, Phil"Main and Dan Durst had eliminated Victoria .& Grey and the Elementary Teachers. Hay ing thus disposed of the "best dressed" team and the best educated team it was now time to decide the' "best" curling team. In a classic match -up of aggressive youth and well -travelled experience, skips Dan "King Kong" Durst and Jim "Ding - Dong" Bell put on a thrilling final. Y• 14 ,,s eY, Nn the ease in such : exi*et!ca:proveti.to`lo hey ft d; Garb°and Gear edged out all to 4 tri ice,' Bell's win prompted him to re everyone that "music hath the -p010 soothe thesayage'beast"andthe:4 '+double,take.outs is. music to any. c rli ears.

Fourth place went to the Elementary Teachers' foursome of Judy Jewitt, Rober- taMachan, Doug "Corner to Corner" Yeo • and Floyd "Thank You God" Herman-. After anesthetizing -the Hospital team in. game one, the teachers were taught a lesson by the Vikings but bounced back to sweep the Silver Brooms off the ice and claim the fourth place position. ;, Floyd Herman, who drives from Clinton to take part in the industrial League every Thursday. night, is a good 'example of why this league is so successful. When asked why he would drive to Goderich during r January and February along t •eacherous Highway�8 in a blinding snowstorm, Floyd replied, l-1 know where a good time is." Hopefully.; the sixteen teams that took part in the Industrial League this year will be back for another "gond time" next season., IT'S BETTER TO BE AT HOME Ongoing medical care no Ionger has to mean an extended stay in hospital.
