(Photo contributed) Compete at Guelph The Zone VII Junior Farmers Team from Western Ontario came first in the 1985 Farm Equipment Safety Competition held in conjunction with the Junior Farmers' Sum- mer Games at the University of Guelph on August 10. The winning teams' members included Jim Mullin, Ralph Snyder and Harold Jelinski of Grey County as well as Larry Plaetzer and Jim Nivens, of Huron County. The competition format was slightly revised this year to include a welding exercise in the competition. The five member teams had to be well versed in all aspects of each exercise since they would not know which of the five exercises each member would take part in until minutes before. The 1985 Farm Equipment Safety Compe- tition was jointly sponsored by the Farm Safety Association, Forest Products Accident Prevention Association, John Deere Limited and the Junior Farmers' Association. riti""jfeeney DUBLIN CONSTRUCTION 345-2405 LTD. CUSTOM BUILDERS Windows, Doors Replacement Windows THE HURON EXPOSITOR, SEPTEMBER 4, 1985 L A13 Seaforth horsemen dominate at Clinton BY TOBY RAINEY A nasty accident in the first race sent driver Ross Battin to hospital and put a Clinton horse out of contention for the rest of the season as a near -capacity crowd looked on at Clinton Raceway Sunday. Battin was rushed by ambulance to Clinton hospital after the horse he was driving collided with another and went down, catapulting him from the bike just past the starting line. Driver Johnny Muir was also dumped in the mishap, but came back to win the second race with Willa's Roger in a new record for the Seaforth colt. Battin returned to drive in the eighth with nothing more than some bad scrapes and bruises, but his horse, Jennifer's Beauty, owned and trained by Case Buffinga of Clinton, suffered a foot injury which will likely sideline her for a few months. • Apparently Jennifer's Beauty went down after catching a foot in the wheel of Susie Homer's (driven by Muir) bike, when the Wayne Homer Stables' filly broke at the wire and bobbled into Batt'in's path. Buffinga's mare was still down on the track as the field came past at the half, but - guided by announcer Billy Kell's warnings - were strung out enough to go through single file on' the rail, avoiding a potentially much worse disaster. It was Clinton's first bad accident of the season. Battin missed trips in races 2, 3, 4 and 7, sending owners scrambling for catch drivers, but came back to show with Shyloh Calypso in the eighth, place fourth with Mitola Hi in the ninth, and second with Handy Slipper in the feature. Ironically, Battin was also slated to drive another Seaforth horse, Fighting Filly, in the fifth race, but was scratched when the filly had to be put down after a training injury late last week. Seaforth horses and horsemen again dominated the Clinton card, setting the trend as John Muir won with W illa's Roger for owners Ed and Bruce Lamont and Brian op»»»»»1Mul1„ tote Back -to -school, canning, lunches or lust a snack!

Located on Rock Glen Road 1-828-3100 Arkona, Ont. Glanville. In the third race, Greyfriar's Faye, owned, trained and driven by Dale Kennedy paced to a new personal best of 2:05 four-fifths for her second win in a row. Greyfriar's Faye paid $13.80 to win and (along with Call Me Mc and Stoneriggs Admiral) paid $1694.10 on the Triactor. But even this whopper pales in comparison to the $2926.90 Tri paid out on Black Rebel, Edward E. Frost and Don't Cry in the $1;500 'claimer in the 1,0th. In it, dark horse Black Rebel paid $26.00 to win, $9.80 to place. Seaforth archrivals K:M. Bertola and Mitola Hi (driven respectively by Muir and Battin) again did battle in the ninth, the day's most exciting cliffhanger, although both lost to newcomer Got to Be Me, trained and driven by Bill Morrissey. Bill Harburn's Bertola was second, with Dale Kennedy's Mitola Hi placing fourth behind another newcomer, Polly Rum, with Ray McLean in the stirrups. Trainer -driver Randy McLean won the second leg of the Clinton-Goderich Pacing Series with G.G. Limbo for owner Lionel Arbour of Goderich. This annual $1,000 added stake' series has been plagued with scratches, but hopefully the third leg will get underway at Goderich Raceway's final day of the season this Thursday, while the final round will go off at Clinton September 8, for a purse of $3,050. Another Goderich horse, Carman Kerr's He's Special led all the way in the eighth to win handily for trainer -driver Allan Shelton; Ray McLean placed third in the sixth with Brett's Nuffy for owner John Watson of Blyth and trainer -driver Randy McLean was third in the seventh with Tar Daw Duchess for Clinton's Larry Daw.
