C.H. Express win
provincial silver
A Seaforth team captured the 'silver,
medal .at the Provincial Broomball Cham-
pionships held in Sudbury over the weekend.
C.H. Express, finished the weekend with a'
three win, two loss record in the. double
elimination tournament which saw teams
from six regions of the province, and one ,
host team, vying for, the chance to travel on
to the national competition.
It was a rocky start for the Express, who,
although locked in a 0-0 stalemate -with Em-
bro after the first half of their -first game
Friday, eventually lost to the powerhouse
;from the east by a 3,0 score. •
Faced with eviction from the tournament
• if another loss was sustained the Express
rose to - the challenge in game two and
defeated the Caretakers„ a team out of the
southwestern region, by a 1-0 score. Jim
Donkers; a pick up from Tend'R Fresh in
Palmerston, got the needed Seaforth goal in
that Saturday morning game.
On Saturday night the Express took on the
•
host Valley Farms, and defeated them too
by a score of 1-0. Donkers once again
counted for Seaforth, picking up a'rebound
off the crossbar.and•popping it into the net.
Attempts by Valley Farms .to tie the game
were unsuccessful.
Assured by that win, of at least a bronze
medal finish, the Express earned
themselves the right to play for the gold
after they defeated' the Queen's Hotel from
Hearst on Sunday morning. That same
Hearst team had defeated the Express in
• 1985 and gone on to win the provincials. The
EXpress were looking to reciprocate the
deed in 1987.
• Marc Robinet scored for the Express mid
way through the first period to give his team
the early edge. With three minutes left in the..
game Hearst tied things up; a. tie which re-
mained unbroken at game's end. A • five
minute, no' goalie, total goals overtime
period followed.
• One minute into the extra stanza Bob
McKenzie netted a goal for the Seaforth
team. Hearst tied things up one minute
later.
With less than a minute remaining Brett
Finlayson notched another goal for.,
Seaforth. The game ended in a flurry, of
• shot's on the Seaforth net, which defenseman
McKenzie managed to continually kick out
to pr.eserve the victory.
The only feat left for the Express, in order
to capture the gold, was a double defeat of
Embro, who had advanced unbeaten to the
final -
That feat was not to take place. Embro
scored 12 seconds into the game to take the
lead. And although the Express managed to ,
hold them to that 1-0 margin throughout the
first half three more goals in the second half
secured the victory for the. Eastern team.
They were awarded the honor of represen-
ting Ontario in the National Broomball
Championships, to be held in Montreal this
weekend. The. Hearst team is favored to win
the national competition. .
Members• of the Express said the team
wentto the provincials hoping 'to get a
medal, and is "quite pleased with its second
place finish".
Seaforth netminder Rick Beitz took home
a second honor, as he was named as goalie
to the Ontario All Star team. •

Peters to seek P C
Everybody is anxious to get on with spr-

It seems he's moved ahead the date we
change our clocks. Every year in April we
"spring" ahead one hour, and every hour
we "fall" back one hour.
So to avoid missing church on Sunday
make sure you move your clocks ahead
one hour. The official time to do that is at 2
a.m., Sunday.
Nico Peters, 'a 38 -year-old Tuckersmith
Township farmer, has declaredhis inten-
tion toseek the Conservative nomination for
the Huron Riding in the next provincial
election.
Mr Peters says he is- aware of the
frustrations felt throughout the towns and
the townships, over being bypassed in the
economic boom• presently enjoyed by most
other areas of the province.
"With the present government's tax
increases and a one billion dollar unit
petted windfall; people here ate beginning
to question why funs aren't being used to
promote the fortunes and long term
prosperity of our local communities," he
says.
Mr. Peters disagrees with those who say
an election this year would be one without
issues
"I can assure you that an election this
year in Huron County Will be one that is
built on the concerns of our communities,"
. Mr. Peters is an active member in several
community and agricultural organizations
and serves as avice-president-for the Huron
P.C. Association.
The nomination meeting is scheduled for
April 14, 1981, at 8 p.m., at the Central

BY HEATHER Mc1LW RAITH
There is more than reading, writing and
arithmetic being taught at area elementary.
schools. Students at both the Seaforth Public
School and St. James Separate School are

well-being of the individual and society.
VIP, wnich stands for Values, Influences
and Peers, is a 16 -week program that
attempts ` teach students, before they are
introduced to the wrongs of the world, to
accept responsibility for their own actions; to
understand that peer pressure is common; to
be aware of the importance of self respect and
self confidence in meeting the challenge of
peer influence; to gain insights that will assist
them in making choices when confronted With
negative influences and to develop a respect
for the rights of others and the rule of the law,

more likely to interact with others in a
positive way, and to respect the values and
laws of society.
Students have been studying such topics
as; values, standards,' creating impressions,
belittling others, peer pressure, decision
making, authority and authority figures,
being truthfui, dangers of drugs, vandalism
and destructive behavior, shoplifting, youth
and law and friends and friendship.
" VIP gives kids at the Grade 6 level an idea
of thevalues that will be expected of them
down the line. At this level they haven't really
thought about it a lot, and the VIP program
makes them awareoftheir options, and gives.
them a start on the•right path to being a good
citizen," said Constable Dale:
Constable Dale admitted he has been
surprised with the student's response to the
program, and said that response has made
him feel even more optimistic about the
program than he was in the beginning.
"The kids are very, very enthusiastic. They
have a lot of good questions and the classes,
which were originally to run 45 minutes long,
usually run 11/2 hours. Even when they run
into the lunch hour the kids don't seem to
mind. They have a lot of theirown ideas about
things, and a lot of questions they want to
ask, and stories to tell. They certainly keep
you hopping with' their opinions, and
questions."
Celeste McCreight, the Grade 5.6 teacher
at St. James School, said she too, has been
impressed by the enthusiastic response to the
VIP program, both byherstudents and by the
general public.
impressed that people think more
money should be invested to administer
programs such as this, that prevent crime,
she said, acknowledging the local Optimist
Club's financial assistance with field trips for
the program, in addition to the Board of
Education's enthusiasticendorsement of the
program in the school.
