The CHSS squad, however, will have to win another tourna- ment to gain admission to the OFSAA competition, which they won in 2014. Doig credits his resourceful and experienced team for never giving up at the Gore tourna- ment despite falling behind early in the final. "When I went out for the fourth end break, (the players) were down a bit - they were still down by three (at the time)," he said. "I just told them to keep plugging away and that they were doing very well and be proud of themselves no matter what happens." "They kept plugging away and never gave up," he added. The student -players put "a lot of pressure" on themselves to repeat as champions at the Barry Vincent/Facebook The Central Huron Secondary School boys curling team after winning the 2015 Gore Provincial title in Woodstock in February. Gore tournament and win a chance to play again at OFSAA, Doig said, adding that claiming title a second time around is "actually harder" than winning it the first time. Their previous experience in similar situations, he noted, also helped the players calmly recover from going down early. In addition to last year's tri- umphs, the CHSS team also par- ticipates in the Ontario Junior Curling Tour. "Their confidence is very high," Doig said. "But winning it a second time is a different sort of pressure - when you're the defending champions, everyone is out to beat you."

Londesborough news Brenda Radford Special to the News Record Villagers may find page 2 of last week's Focus newspaper of interest. The article is about a new series of youth dance lessons being offered in the Grand Bend Fitness Centre by Elizabeth Morgan, owner of Expressions Dance Arts Inc. You know Liz as Liz Swan, daughter of Rev. Colin and Jane Swan. The Swans lived in the Londesborough manse when Liz was just a young pupil at Hullett Central. Liz has been dancing and teaching in a variety of venues since she was three. The article suggests other classes for other ages are possible depending on the interest shown. If you've always wanted to dance like no one is watch- ing, this maybe your chance. Last I heard John Lyons was expect- ing to be transferred back to Goderich Hospital for rehab and recovery. He will be able to get his dialysis there as well. As I prepare this column I'm watch- ing my first race of 2015, the Daytona 500. It feels just a trifle weird to look out the windows at the heaps of snow we have this month while the race commentators are concerned that the high temperatures at Daytona will affect the performances of the cars and drivers. It always surprises me to watch a race and get the impression the track is flat. We visited this track years ago and believe me the banking is tremendous. Thirty-three degrees as evident in shots of the corners. Upcoming events at REACH Looking for something to do? Come on over to REACH and check out one of the events!
