Pitcher Clendon Coombs improved . his record to .6-0 going the distance against Exp eter. He recorded three strike outs, allowed eight hits; and gave up five walks andfour runs, all of them earned, The team itself had nine hits, struck out seven times and com- mitted onl one error. T e game was ie1- a e tEFfirsUmn-• • ing, but that tie was broken by 'the Mer- chants in the fourth. With teammates Marty Bedard . and Del Mitchelmore on base because of walks Rick Dale hit a double that sent them home. He scored the third run off a hit by Jerry Wright. Exeter tied things up again in the sixth, but Seaforth took the lead again in the bot- tom of the eighth when Don Williamson hit a single that sent Brian Cooper across the plate. Cooper and Dale played strong offensive- ly, both going :two for four for the night. Williamson went two for five. "It was a very big win for us,"' said coach Marc Robinet. . "We had good pitching, good defense and timely hitting, which all . contributed to a very deserving victory: And it gives us the confidence we need - beating a team of Ex- eter's calibre." But confidence wasn't enough Wednesday night, when a rather small contingent of players faced Walkerton and lost 5-4. "We faced the fastest pitcher we've seen so far this year, and it shewed as he struck out nine guys over five innings," said Peewees topple After a week lay-off Winthrop PeeWee boys came back full steam to topple Belmore 15-3, June 18 in Winthrop. Winthrop led the game with three at the end of the second inning. Jason McNichol started the pitching, striking out seven bat- ters and allowing only one hit. Reliever Paul Dolmage assisted in the third inning by getting the third out stopping Belmore at three runs. Dolmage shut down the opposi- tion in the top of the fourth, stranding a man on second and third. Robinet. "We only made two'errors, but one was, very costly as they scored their fifth run on it.." Walkerton moved ahead earlyin the game, scoring one run in each of the first and third innings, then two in the fourth, to take a 4-0 lead. Seaforth narrowed the gap by one in the fifth inning then regained further ground by scoring a single in the sixth. Two runs in t ►h top of the firm. t Inning moved them closer to a tie, but not close enough. The Merchants finished the game with runners abandonned on first and third base. Marty Bedard, pitching his first game for the Merchants, took the loss. He pitched four innings, struck out two batters, walked five and gave up four runs, all of them earned. Mitchelmore pitched two innings of strong relief, striking, out two batters, walking two batters and giving up one unearned run. "We played five games in seven days and it was hard on our pitching staff," com- mented Robinet. With the first half of the season now behind them the Merchants sport a 6-5-1 win -loss -tie record. "That's pretty respectable," Robinet. "The next 12 games will hopefully give us enough experience for the playoffs." The Merchants play in Strathroy Sunday in a doubleheader. On Tuesday, June 30 they take on the Exeter Juniors in an exhibition match here in town. Game time is 6:15 p.m. at the high school. said Belmore 15-3 The bats sang for Winthrop in the bottom of the third as they tallied 12 runs that inn- ing.

Experience '87 at MVCA , Once again the Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority is carrying out its Experience '87 Program which involves the employ- ment of 10 students (one co-ordinator and nine field staff) from within the Authority's watershed. The program starts on June 22 and will run August 14. This program, which is provincially fund- ed, tries to combine a working experience with a learning one. The main goal of the program is to allow the students to acquaint themselves with the actual operation, pro- grams and projects of M.V.C.A. The. main emphasis is on conservation and resource management (such as streambank and ero- sion control, forest management, wildlife habitat and interpretive trail development) but the students will also participate in the daily operation and maintenance of .the Authority's Conservation Areas. The Experience '87 Program Co- ordinator's position is filled this year by Alison Hahn who is presently residing in Brussels, Her duties include clerical and of- fice duties, hiring the students and organiz- ing them thereafter. She is considered an in- termediate between the Experience '87 crew and the rest of the Authority staff. Her ' work term started on May 11 and will run for 15 weeks to finish August 21.

Karen Dam of Goderich and Diane Raynard of Lucknow will be working at the gatehouse. Pam Wilkenson of Goderich and Bruce Russell of Clinton will be working at the park doing general maintenance. Four other Experience '87 crew members will be working out of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority headquarters, in Wroxeter; Trevor Hammer of Listowel, Chris Michie of Brussels, Jennifer Pyke of Wroxeter and Heather Shiell of Wingham: These four students will be periodically join- ed by the Galbraith Conservation Area Park Assistant, Sandra Shelley of Gorrie. She will spend most of her time at Galbraith Conser- vation Area assisting the park supervisor with park admissions and general maintenance, but will carry out the same duties as the rest of the Experience crew when in Wroxeter. In addition to their regular duties, the crew at MVCA will also participate, in education days. An orientation day was held on the first day of work. The students were allowed to get acquainted with each other, the Authority staff and the area within the watershed. With the help of slide shows, films, safety domonstrations and a tour of various sites and projects around the water- shed the students were able to feel more comfortable and confident with their sur- rotindings. A second education day will in- clude the crew taking a Red Cross First Aid Course which will be held at the Wingham and District Hospital. The course will pro- vide the students with' the ability to cope with emergency situations and to ensure a safe summer for park patrons and themselves.
