Sports Fritz, McArter lead Mohawk playoff scoring Brett Lee wins Supercross trophy Nicknamed the “Brussels Sprouts’’ linemates Tim Fritz and Kevin McArter combined many a time to bulge the twine in hockey nets all over the Southern Senior “A’’ loop. After finishing in the top seven scorers for the Exeter Mohawks this season, the two young men gained much more respect for next season as they led the team throughout the playoffs along with linemate Joe Scherer. Coming into the season the Mohawks knew it would be an uphill battle as they lost two very big offensive leaders in Dave Randerson and Quincy Wilker but found two replacements in the names "Squeak” and “Fritzy”, especially in the play­ offs. The Mohawks did manage to capture the “Southern Senior "A” Championship” defeating Dunville in seven games where L.A. Kings Marty McSorley’s brother Gerry displayed his “talents” (if you’ve seen Marty play you would know what kind). After a tough series there and a three or four hour trip the Mohawks stepped into another tough one in the Aylmer Hornets. The Mohawks defeated them in OMAF holds annual client advisory meeting BY ROBERTA. HUMPHRIES P.Ag. AGRICULTURAL REPRESENTATIVE FOR HURON COUNTY On March 18, the Clinton field office of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food held its annual meeting to receive advice from clients. These meetings were started in 1986 with a dual purpose: one, to hear from people who use the Ministry’s services and two, to have OMAF staff report to farm leaders on activities conducted in Huron County. This year 29 farm leaders were challenged with four questions asking about issues in the rural community, how to encourage con­ sumer awareness, the role of the OMAF field office and an evalua­ tion of present office services. Leaders were asked to identify at least five major issues facing farm people and to suggest solutions to three of them. Some of the issues discussed included low net farm incomes, property taxes, rules and regulations, waste management, land use, animal welfare, loss of young people, environmental pro­ tection, water quality and quantity, provincial road system in Huron, » YOU DON'T NEED WORDS ...JUST CARE! k seven also, but were over-powered in the OHA semi-finals by the Pt.

The question requiring a great deal of thought was how to make consumers more aware of the agri-food industry. Some of the suggestions included farm tours, adopt a farmer project, agriculture in the classroom, up-to-date videos on primary agriculture, open line TV/radio shows, open 4-H to urban children, mall displays, farmers as guest speakers on food issues, educate the health care experts, demonstration on safety of food handling, food consultants in gro­ cery stores, live animal displays at local fairs and find out exactly what our consumers want. The Ministry will attempt to incorporate as many of these proposed solutions as possible into the 1991/92 plans of work for Huron County. The staff at the Clinton field office were pleased that so many of the County’s Agricultural Leaders could join us on March 18 in Holmesville.

Trailing 2-0 and 3-1 Durham fought back to the game at 3-3 heading into third period action but fell one goal short despite scoring twice in the game’s last 1:23 of play. It was a disappointing end for the Durham Club who at one point won 28 consecutive league and playoff games and were overwhelming favourites to win their second championship in three years.
