"Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, October 30, 2001 -17 They beat Lakefield, tied Uxbridge Port Perry picks up three points from Chiefs, Bruins By John B. McClelland Port Perry Star The Port Perry Mojacks enjoyed a highly successful week on the ice, taking three of four points from the two teams they are chasing in the Central Junior C League standings. Sunday night in front of the largest crowd yet this season at the Scugog Arena, the MoJacks went toe-to- toe with the Uxbridge Bruins and came away with a sin- gle point in a 4-4 deadlock. And the previous Tuesday, the MoJacks were in Lakefield where they tripped up the Chiefs 5-3 to make the long bus ride home much more enjoyable. The three points give the MoJacks 13 so far this sea- son in || games, just one behind the Chiefs and four back of the first-place Bruins. The Mojacks have a game in hand over Lakefield, but have played one more than Uxbridge. It was a rough and tumble affair between the MoJacks and Bruins as the two teams continue to dis- play a marked dis-like for each other. The officials had their hands full as ref Shawn Szorady dished out more than 100 minutes in penal- ties, including fighting majors for a couple of scraps in the sudden-win overtime period. The Mojacks actually had a glorious chance to win this one as they opened a 2-0 lead in the first period, and owned a 4-1 lead after 40 minutes. But a couple of power play markers and a goal off a penalty shot got the Bruins back into the contest and five minutes of OT failed to break the 4-4 deadlock. The penalty shot came early in the period when a MoJack player covered a loose puck in the crease dur- ing a scramble. Trevor Cox took the shot and beat Matt Balser with a shot under the cross bar. For the MoJacks, Ryan McQuade continued to show his sniping talents as he clicked for a pair of markers, with singles to Justin Bennett and Matt Stokes. Three of the MoJack goals came on the power play. Other marksmen for the Bruins were Cory Eastman with two and a single from captain Brad Clubine with the equalizer. In the fisticuffs department, Adam Jones squared off with Jason Kennedy, and Jones got tagged with an instigator as well. Ashton and Clubine also got into a scrap at the end of the OT period and Ashton also got an instigator. He'll miss a couple of games as this was his second such infraction this season. The Bruins' Jim Mitchell will also face suspension as he was called for a five- minute match penalty for spearing in the second peri- od. MoJack team officials were less than pleased with the antics of some of the Bruins at the end of the sec- ond period. After a melee was sorted out and the MoJacks were sent to the exit at centre ice, several Mojack sticks and gloves were taken from the ice by the Bruins at the north end of building. The gloves were eventually retrieved from the Bruin dressing room, but three MoJack sticks came back in pieces. By contrast, the 5-3 MoJack victory Oct. 23 in Lakefield featured just a handful of penalties to both clubs in a fast-paced affair that was up for grabs until late in the final frame. In what was a bit of a reversal, it was the MoJacks who took advantage of the power play, netting three of their five goals with a man advantage, while shutting down the Chiefs who are usually deadly with the extra Turn to Page 18 VEUNE FIRING ood SHOOTER OK. FRE Wayne Fudge took aim last weekend when the Port Perry Rod and Gun Club held its annual Sight- RIK DAVIE / PORT PERRY STAR In day on Saturday. He was among a large group of members who took part. Gun registration law taking aim at wrong group, says local enthusiasts By Rik Davie Port Perry Star Some local gun owners are less than enthusiastic about the government ad campaign currently under way to register privately-owned firearms. A huge advertising campaign which offers to wave the $18 registration fee for gun owners until Dec. 31, 2001 got mixed results from members of the Port Perry Rod and Gun Club at their annual sight-in last week- end. Bill Little, current president of the club, said that he is still unsure what will be accomplished by the nation- al gun registry. "I agree with the idea of registration, if that is all it is used for," Mr. Little said. "But we have seen it as the first step for the seizing of firearms in other countries. I don't feel this will have any benefit for our police beyond the obvious one." > Results from i Scugog Duplicate : Bridge Club ~ Oct. 24 "Afternoon - Avg. 54 First - Joyce, Heard and and Sophia Brendon 59."

"I like the idea of registration, said the long-time gun owner. "I like the idea that a police officer going to a domestic dispute can find out by computer if he is going to a home with registered firearms in it." But Mr. Fudge said he balks at the cost. "Criminals never did register guns and they are not going to start now, so | question the figures that we have been given as much as $300 million to set up and run the registry. | feel that money could go a long way if it were given to the police to help them get the ille- gal guns off the street," he said.
