Saturday, at the WOSSA tournament in Wingham, South Huron's Ronalee Bogart and Maja Gans were easy winners in the girl's doubles, while Leslie Hunter- Duvar and John McAllister lost to Oakridge in the final after qualifying through the consolation round. Last year, Bogart and Gans and mixed doubles team of Lisa Stretton and Doug Hoffman competed in the all -Ontario tournament in Kapuskasing. Oakridge and Stratford Central tied for the team title Badminton exhibitions South Huron's senior badminton team played exhibition matches against teams from Clinton, Medway and Listowel and competed in a tournament at Medway. Friday, in preparation for Huron -Perth competition, Tuesday, in Wingham. The mixed doubles teams of John McAllister and Leslie Hunter-Duvar are playing well enough to ad- vance to WOSSA and possibly even win Huron - Perth, depending on the strength of the Stratford Central entry. "They're using their heads and playing really smart bad- minton," said coach Pat Rowe about the pair, who are in their first year of senior competition. Girl's doubles players Ronnelee Bogart and Maja Gans have been .playing boys' teams this past week in order to gain some com- petitive play before Huron - Perth. The pair defeated all the boys teams they've faced and coach Rowe expects they will repeat as con- ference champions with little problem. Girls single competitor, Cheryl Cann, won all her exhibition matches last week Rowe is hopeful she can qualify for WOSSA action by placing in the top four at Huron -Perth. "Cheryl has worked hard and has shown marked improvement in the past few weeks." noted Rowe. , with twenty-two points; South Huron was third with eighteen points. Bogart and Gans defeated Ranting 15-0, 15-1 to take the championship. The toughest of their flee matches came in the semi-final against Wingham, second place finishers 15-12, 15-10, in the Huron -Perth tournament. On .the basis of their quarter -final loss to the eventual winners at OFSAA last year, coach Pat Rowe has requested a seeding for the pair. "They've been there before and the ex- perience will certainly help; this is Ronnalee's third year HERE ON WEDNESDAY — London native Karen Baldw in, the current Miss Canada, will be in Exeter next Wednesday to be among the models for the Huron Cancer Unit's presentation of Fashion Fantasia '82 at the rec centre. The 5'9" model,whcisanaccompiished swimmer and'dancer, will be Wearing fashions provid- ed by Merry Rags of Grand Bend. She will be joined by other professional models and several ladies from the area in what has become a popular attraction and lurid -raising event for the Cancer Society. Off to gymnastics Catherine Patterson and Jacqueline Hyde, two members of South Huron's gymnastics team and their coach, Carey Eddy, leave tomorrow for Lindsay and the OFSAA all -Ontario gymnastics championships, Friday and Saturday. Catherine's bars and beam (routines) look really good. She has to work hard on her floor exercise because she's not a good tumbler, Eddy commented, Monday. "She's in a much better state of mind for this competition than she was for WOSSA." Two weeks ago at the Western Ontario meet, Patterson's performance suffered because of the extreme pressure she felt as defending champion but she still managed to capture the senior B title with 31.57 points. A three year veteran of • OFSAA competition, winning the intermediate beam competition at last year's championships, Patterson should fare well in this year's competition. For the first time in the history of varsity gym- nastics at South Huron, the team , will have a representative in vault competition at the provincial level. Two weeks ago in WOSSA competition, Hyde had a 7.8 score to win the elite B vault. "She's been having really good practices this Last week; her hand- spring are looking super," said Eddy. imes Senile soma Moron. New*Middles. R( dvocate . Nerd I.

It was a long and exhausting day for Hunter- Duvar and McAllister as they were shifted into the consolation round after losing to London .Central in the first round. In the five matches that followed South Huron knocked out top seeded Ingersoll, seeded Medway, Stratford Central, Huron -Perth champion Listowel and London Central again, in order to meet Oakridge for the cham- pionship. No match for the rested Oakridge squad, South Huron lost 15-13, 15-3. "They were very happy to be where they were," said Rowe about the pair who are playing their first year as seniors. She feels that the experience the pair will gain competing at the OFSAA level will prove invaluable. "They are good enough to win the C flight," stated Rowe. The boy's doubles team of Kevin Parsons and Greg Prout won three of their five matches before losing to Huron -Perth champions Stratford Central in the quarter -finals. Their per- formance was good enough for fifth place.

Tree planting now underway The tree planting program for 1982 of the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority started last week with the delivery of the first orders of three foot cedars for windbreaks. The Conservation Authority has ordered 10,000 cedar, spruce, pine and maple which will be planted by 100 landowners primarily around buildings. These windbreak stock cost bet- ween five and ten dollars per tree depending on the species. Half the. cost of the trees, up to a maximum of $500.00, is paid by • the Con- servation Authority with the remainder being paid by the landowner. Windbreaks are an ef- fective method of controlling wind erosion, can lower heating costs" of farm buildings, and control snow accumulation preventing unwanted drifts. The Conservation Authority will also be using mechanical tree planters and hand planting crews to plant 60,000 seedlings on 28 sites. Half of these trees will be planted as windbreaks with the remainder being planted in small plantations. These trees are provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources at a cost of 2.5 cents per tree. The Con- servation Authority advises landowners where to plant various types of trees and plants the trees at a charge of $50. per thousand. An additional 30,000. seedlings will be planted by 75 individual landowners themselves.' These trees ordered through the Authority, are picked up from the Ministry's St. Williams Nursery and made available from Authority workshops in Parkhill and Exeter. The Conservation Authority will also be planting approximately 55,000 trees on their own property. John Schwindt, Con- servation Services Co- ordinator at the Con- servation Authority advises landowners that trees must be ordered nine months to a year in advance. Schwindt can he reached by phone at 235-2610 and is currently taking orders for 1983.

Elected as Ontario Liberal leader earlier this year, Peterson lashed out at the provincial government for the present state of the economy.

"We can't afford to help Mr. Peterson with the audience responding with loud applause. Commenting on Premier Davis' answer that the government has no money, Peterson said money could be found by trimming costs. Particular cost trimmings Peterson suggested included selling Ontario's 25 per cent share of Suncor and selling farmland' in the South Cayuga area now lying fallow.

Returning to agriculture, Peterson said Ontario must have a goal of reaching a high degree of self- sufficiency in food production.

On the current dispute between the Ontario Medical Association and the provincial government, Mr. Peterson said the Liberals stand behind the patient. The Liberals helped in part to establish medicare across the province, said Peterson and he added no group should be allowed to destroy it. "Patients are being held hostage," said Mr. Peterson.
