Editor Anyone at Arena lost Saturday night can attest to the fact the Georgetown Raiders ore playing hockey So where were those fans There were about 100150 of the faithful on hand as the Raiders played an upanddown end fast skating hardshooting contest against It was good wideopen hockey at its best Not only was there plenty of quality goals 16 in all to be exact but there was some decent and honest togoodncss and clean hard hits The penalty box stayed relative ly empty and the teams stuck to hockey So the fact remains There should be more people catching the act of these resurgent Raiders In their new bright red and black finery before they hit the playoffs Perhaps there still some Georgetown fans out there who are uninformed enough to believe the Raiders nee Gemini are still the sad sack lot they were last season Well nothing could be further from the truth Last years survivors are quick gelling with some impressive newcomers and lo and behold the Raiders are serious contenders In the Central Ontario Jr B League s western group With eight wins thus far the Raiders are only two wins shy of last seasons entire total They even put together a modest nine- game undefeated streak Veterans like Chuck Kevin Dance Travis Cole Greg Braieau and Don Cruise are fin ding the range Heady Rob captain Mark Pries and newcomers Trent Cull and Rod are shoring up an but game defence Todd ng is supplying solid goal tending and Curtis Green has proved he can step in at any time and deliver the goods A new working agreement with the Guetph Platers has a strong good scoring winger Des Brown

the trip minder The people were so friendly recalled Edwards after returning to Georgetown on Nov 14 They hesitate to slop along the road and ask us if we needed or If we needed place to stay They were real down to earth characters The Edwards embarked on their unique voyage on Oct 4 Sydney the premier city of Australia east coast was the first stop with the Police Olympics scheduled lo begin on Oct and running until Oct 16 Prior to the beginning of the Games Glenn spent his free time bicycling around Australia first ly and whlllng away the hours at several of the most spectacular beaches

numbered well Into ID Ken wards lenn Edwards Temperatures for the triathlon were a comfortable mid 70s as Ed wards and his fellow competitors began their affair with a km salt I wasn l used to the salt water and swimming not my best event to begin with confessed Edwards Nevertheless the Georgetown athlete performed well in the water and looked to make up ground along the km bike route It was a hard hilly course he said It tended to weed out the weak riders A iokm run primarily straight followed the cycle portion and conlli to progress At the finish line his official time was 1 with the winner clocking In at an unofficial I I was surprised at the high of athletes competing said Edwards As a gala banquet marked the con elusion of the 1988 Police Games Edwards and his father began the second leg of their journey a bicycle trip up the cast coast of Australia The Edwards first brush with a member of Australia unique wildlife family came as a surprise and left them feeling like they had Just stepped back in time to the days of the dinosaurs We were changing flat tire on the Bush Trail when a a half foot long Australian lizard plodded across the road laughed Glenn That really caught me off guard Other highlights on the Australian road included several samplings of traditional Aussie pub lunches the Las Vegaslike clubs Retired Serviceman League rustic com moda in outback hotels and views of omnipresent Australian bush fires From one lookout post near Port McQuanie we could see 12 different bush fires burning Inland at one time sold Glenn The entire sky was Just massed
