Seniors have first loss of the season BY TD The GDCI senior Vikings do not score a lot of goals in their Huron -Perth Con- ference soccer games, but neither do their opponents. The Vikings were involved in two low -scoring games last week, losing 1 - 0 to Central Huron Monday in Clinton and tying South Huron in Exeter Friday, 1 -1. The loss to Clinton was the WHEN THEY LOSE TIME, PEOPLE LOSE LIVES. aW,Sgzggs 444,144ar LOC, P 41 ti at „ -- 4.4.4at fill In an emergency, time is a precious commodity and every second counts.

Ministry of Transportation and Communications ciCP Ontario James Snow, Minister William Davis, Premier first aefeat of the season for the Vikings. The Redmen of C.H.S.S. are undefeated and in first place in the Con- ference with five wins and two ties in seven start. The Vikings record stood at two wins, three ties and one loss going into their game Monday in Listowel. The Vikes play their last regular -season game here today (Wednesday) at 2 p.m. against Mitchell, another top contender in the league. Should the Vikings finish in the top four in the 11 team Conference, they will be involved in semi-final playoffs Friday. The Vikings got off to a slow start against Clinton and found themselves under a lot of pressure as the Redmen carried the play. Clinton scored the game's only goal midway through the half. The Vikings had a better share of the play as the game continued, but were unable to score and had few real scoring op- portunities. The first half in Exeter Friday was also scoreless although both teams had good chances. Goderich goal tender Casey VandenHeuvel, filling in for Greg Lapaine who is out for the season with a hand injury, made several good saves. The Vikings hit the scoreboard seven minutes into the second half when Daryl Madge took a pass from centre half Brad Armstrong, fought , off a defender in front of the Exeter goal, and beat the Exeter keeper. The Panthers tied the score three minutes later, heading in a loose ball in the goal area. Jeff Denomme had a golden opportunity to score for the Vikings moments later when he was sent into the clear on a pass by Daryl Madge, but his shot went off the goalpost. Exeter's record, following the draw with the Vikings was three wins, two ties and two losses, leaving them as one of several teams in contention for a playoff spot. In their six games so far, the Viking have scored a total of only nine goals. Daryl Madge and Jim MacDonald have three each, Jamie Reynolds has two and Jeff Fagan has one. On the other hand, the Vikings have allowed only five goals against in the six games. It is their solid defensive play that coach Dick Madge hopes can take his team into the Huron Perth playoffs. 1 1, The ladies' golf and tennis executive memb▪ ers at the Maitland Country Club this year are, front row, left to right, Edna Looker, golf president; Mado Turcotte, tennis vice- chairman; Dianne Morrissey, tennis membership chair- man; Shelagh Sully, tennis chairman; and Jean Healy, golf secretary -treasurer; and back row, left to right, Mary Lapaine, president of the Board of Directors; Barb O'Bien, tennis secretary -treasurer; Diane Stinson, tennis ways and means chairman.

Kate Lumby, the head chef, and her kitchen cuties, dressed in pink and white uniforms, served up a gourmet meal. After dinner, both tennis players and golfers broke for separate business meetings. Then, four couples who are members of the club and also belong to the "Goderich Squares", put on a demonstration of square dancing. Lois and Murray McGill, Stan and Doris Paquette, Don and Sally MacEwan and Bill Black and Irla Stewart were the participants. We are off to a fine start for the summer of 1983. The Maitland looks beautiful. Shelagh Sully and Kay Duncan did an excellent job of wall -papering and pain- ting the pro shop. Dorothy Wicks and her staff are stocked and organized to serve you. Ron Menzies always has an eye for ways to improve the Maitland. The humpback ridge at the back of number 7 green has bothered him for years. It could not be well cut or groomed. It was an eye sore. Maitland members lost many balls in the uncut grass. A "friend" of the Maitland helped remove the ridge. Now it will be seeded, groomed and cut. Seven Canadian maples have been planted along the contour, under the guidance of Ron. Did you know that tree planting has been a pet project of Rorl,'s for many years? The lady golfers even got down to some serious golf on Tuesday evening, May 10. They came in with some great winners. Maxine Martin won in the first flight; Verna Kane in the second; Verne Frith in the third and Lois McGill in the fourth. Doris Paquette won the prize for the least number of putts. Verna Kane is the new sports captain for the summer season. Kay Duncan is Verna's assistant. The tennis ladies are meeting Tuesday night from 7 to 10. The Maitland tennis club is pleased to have John Jamula available to give private lessons. John is a qualified OTA instructor. Keep May 27 open fora 'mixed fun night'. The tennis executive is planning to organize league play ... this is something new for Maitland tennis en- thusiasts.
