THE NEW TANNERTHURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2007 13THE NEW TANNER THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 200712 To the editor, I am writing regarding the construction that took place in Acton over the past few months. As someone who uses that route on a daily basis, I must admit that I was not looking forward to it at all. I was pleasantly surprised, however, to see how effi cient the construction crew was. There hardly seemed to be two days in a row where they were working on the same section. The crew got the necessary work done in, what I think, was record time and with the least amount of disruption to the residents of Acton. Congratulations to the entire crew on a job well done and thank you for making the drive in and out of Acton on Highway 25 a pleasant one.

Acton drew fi rst blood at 14:09 in the fi rst period when Hespeler failed to clear the puck. As the Shamrocks tried to take advantage of a Hespeler powerplay, Nathan Bennett managed to keep the puck in the Shamrocks end. Nathan quickly passed it to Evan McMeekin who spot- ted Jessy Kuenzig waiting for the pass in front of the net. Jessy took the pass and tucked one deep into the back of the net. At 7:58, Bradley Kri and Brandyn McCarthy teamed up after Brandyn skated the puck down the ice. With a screen of players in front of the net, Bradley waited at the side of the net for the pass and shot one into the left side of the net for the second Tanner goal. Bradley Kri would, once again, come up with a goal after passes from Nathan Bennett and Adam Amato put the puck on the end of his stick. In the second period the Thanks to construction crew Tanners scored on another penalty kill. This time it was defenceman Dylan Creasey, who would pull the puck out of a scrum in front of the Hespeler netminder off the sticks of Jessy Kuenzig and Evan McMeekin at 9:46. Final goal for Acton came from Brandyn McCarthy. Dylan Creasey waited pa- tiently for just the perfect moment to shoot the puck over to Brandyn McCarthy who matched goal number fi ve.
