A.C.T.* Committees.
WHY WE NEED PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT
AT CLINTON PUBLIC SCHOOL
There are 370 children attending C.P.S. who spend two hours pqr day at 180
school days o year for a total of 133,200 hours. The playground is also used
during the summer months on a continuing basis for softball and soccer.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
Two units, one for younger children and one for older children, will be built
by a local contractor for a total cost of 820,000.
WHY DOES IT COST THIS MUCH?
Creative Playground equipment is built to last and is carefully designed to
handle large numbers of children at the same time with over fifteen dif-
ferent activities per centre. 0 purchased through a manufacturer, the two
play centres would cost $40,000. - UNASSEMBLED. By using skilled volunteers
In careful planning and design; ACT will provide the centres ASSEMBLED for,
half this amount.
WHY SHOULD 1 CONTRIBUTE?
We believe that the children of C.P.S. deserve the same playground facilities
as the children of Seaforth, Goderich, Wingham and Blyth.
-0 you have children, grandchildren or the children of friends or relatives at
Clinton P.S.
-If you would like to have a place to take your own children and those of
visiting relatives and friends for good fun ANYTIME.

CHSS junior soccer team loses in finals
CLINTON - After defeating St. Mary's to
advance to thefinals in junior soccer action,
Central Huron Secondary School (CHSS)
was beaten by Stratford Central.
In their semi-final game, CHSS controlled
the first half with strong play in St. Mary's
end. By keeping the ball deep in the opposi-
tion's end CHSS was able to get an early
lead.
By the end of the first half, CHSS lead by a
score of 2-0 on goals from Jamie Gibbings
and Devon Colquhoun.
Unfortunately for CHSS, the tide changed
in the second half, with St. Mary's manag-
ing to keep the play in Clinton territory.
At the end of regular play, the game was
tied 2-2. To break the tie, two 15 minute over-
time periods were played, but they did not,
break the tie, as the game remained at the
same score.
Next came the shootout, where each team
picked five players to take a shot on the net,
and after each team had five shots the score
was tallied up. As each team had scored
twice in the shootout, a sudden death
shootout had to take place.
CHSS finally won the game during the
shootout, but their coach, Peter Zankowski,
said that if the game had not been decided
during the sudden death battle, the winner
would have.been decided by a coin toss.
"St. Mary's was up for the game," Mr.
Zankowski said. "They are a strong come
back team, and they played hard.
"They are also well coached," he noted
Mr. Zankowski said he like the style of
play for the game, and the referees were on
the ball.
He did not have such kind words for the
championship game against Stratford Cen-
tral, where CHSS lost 3-1.
"There was a lot of hitting that did not
deserve to be there," he said. "It was
almost at the point of goon soccer."
He was quick to point out, however, that
bad refereeing was not to blame for the
CHSS loss in the finals, but he could not
understand why Stratford was playing so
roughly, because they are a good team.
He did express the wish that unbiased refs
be brought in from London or Kitchener for
championship games.
"They should do it like in baseball, where
the championship games never have home
town refs," he said.
In the final game, CHSS opened the scor-
ing early, with a goal from Devon Col-
quhoun less than five minutes into the game.
Following this goal, CHSS could not
generate any offence, as Stratoford went on
to score three unanswered goal.
"Stratford was dominant on offence," Mr.
Zankwoski said. "They were a very strong
team."
Mr. Zankowski will be looking into the
idea of bringing in outside referees for
championship games. He feels everyone
would benefit from having unbiased
referees, and stressed he is not complaining
because his team lost, but because the play
was too `chippy'.
"I wasn't as upset as the players; they
wanted to get scrappy," he said.

Pee Wees
defeated
in final
By T. Fox
On May 24 and May 25, the Clinton Pee
Wee baseball team hosted the first "Doc"
Miller Pee Wee baseball tournament.
Teams from Lucan, Seaforth, Goderich,
Milton, Dashwood, Leamington, Walkerton,
and; of course, Clinton participated.
The Clinton boys had a particularly fine
tournament. They defeated Lucan 10-7 in
their first game,and followed this victory
by beating Goderich 9-7 in the second game.
These two victories earned Clinton a place
in the tournament championship game.
Meanwhile a very powerful team from
Leamington was crushing Milton 11-0 and
Walkerton 12-0 to earn the right to meet
Clinton in the final. The championship game
was an excellent match. Leamington came
out the winner by a 5-2 score, but they had
all they could handle as the Clinton team
played a superb game against a bigger and
more experienced team. In the consolation
final Milton defeated Lucan by an 11-1 score.
In Clinton's first victory over Lucan,
Allan Hill pitched a strong game. He was
relieved by Mike Pelss who also hit a mam-
moth home run over the left field fence.
Chris Fox, Jason Fleet, and Darren Steven-
son contributed two hits each.
In the second game victory over Goderich,
the pitchers reversed roles; Pelss pitched
six plus strong innings and.. Hill picked up
the save. Pelss, Fox, and Fleet paced the
twelve hit attack with two hits each.
In the final game against excellent pit-
ching by Sleiman of Leamington, the Clinton
team managed only four hits, two by Shawn
Chipchase and one each by Brad De Wys
and Jason Fleet.
The tournament was a great success and
hopefully a fitting tribute to Doc Miller for
his years of service to minor ball in Clinton.
The Clinton Pee Wees would like to ex-
press their sincere appreciation to all the
merchants who financially supported the
tournament and helped to make it a success.
Special thanks is owed to Sharon Mac
Clenaghan for organizing the serving of food
to the players, and Nancy Hill and Carol Fox
for acting as official scorers. - Ed- Pelss and -
Percy Mac Clenaghan are also owed thanks
for their tremendous help in fund raising.
