H Jennifer Cooke, the Pro- rijram/Community Relations ^Superintendent for the Community Community Services Département, Département, says that countless ^workshops and seminars are ►(being held to inform recreation recreation departments of their responsibilities responsibilities in imposing Une tax. "There are a multitude of ^different theories going Jmround, and it's hard to get fth straight answer," she said JJns she described the impact (Cpf the GST in municipally- ((operated programs.

According to Joe Kcnnctt, £tho Assistant to the Pro- vices Department can gram Manager, the GST is going to "definitely have a big effect" on programs operated operated by the Community Services Services Department. As an example of how the GST will affect ice rental rates, Mr. Kennett cited the situation the Bowmanville Jr. 'C' Eagles will be facing. The Eagles have 66 hours of ice time booked every month, which translates into a rental cost of $1,716. If the GST is added, the Eagles Eagles Will have to pay an extra extra $120.12 every month. "What we will be becoming becoming is a bookkeeping agent for the government," said Mr. Kennett. "With the extra extra costs, the average kid won't be able to afford to take part." ' Some municipalities plan on including tne GST in their program fees, but the Town of Newcastle has no plans to follow that procedure. procedure. According to Ms Cooke, including the GST into the fees will mislead people into thinking that the increase in registration costs is the fault of the Community Services Department, which may decrease decrease the number of registrations. registrations.

"We are going to keep trying trying to provide quality service service and programs to the community, keeping in mind the cost, she continued.

With a win. And although the victory came in only their first exhibition exhibition game, it's a trend that both the players and coaches hope will continue. Playing host to the Co- bourg Cougars on Sunday i night at the ' Recreation V Complex, the Eagles came from one goal behind midway midway through the second period period to record a 4-3 victory. Brad Robinson converted a rebound over a sprawled Cobourg goalie late in the third period to lift the Eagles Eagles to the win. The goal came just 25 seconds after Cobourg's Trevor Trevor Clapperton had tied the score on a breakaway. "I thought we played well tonight," assessed rookie head coach Mike Noonan following following the game. "We need a lot of work in our own zone, but a lot of the confusion was from the players not knowing each other." "Our goalies played well tonight and a few of the kids are really coming along," he continued. "Overall, 1 was kind of pleased with tonight's tonight's game." For the record books, it's uncertain whether the first win of thé season will be credited to Noonan and assistant assistant coach Paul Reed or to over-agers Kelly Armstrong Armstrong and Glen Campbell. Both Armstrong and Campbell handled the coaching coaching duties behind the bench, while the coaching, staff chose to watch the game from the stands. "Both Paul and I thought the two boys (Armstrong and Campbell) were mature enough to handle the responsibilities," responsibilities," is how Noonan Noonan explained his decision not to be behind the bench. "We're going to be looking for leadership from those guys, and' we wanted to show them that we have confidence in them" Bowmanville broke on top in this one with barely two minutes off the clock as Jeff Reynolds scored the first of his two on the night deflecting a shot taken from the point by Neil Taylor. Cobourg tied the score at one apiece when Todd Lewis' Lewis' slapshot trickled in off the glove of starting goalie Chris Massey. Massey was sharp throughout his period-and- a-half of work as he faced 21 shots. Many of them came from close in. Reynolds put Bowmanville Bowmanville back on top late in the second period as he broke in alone from the blueline and went to his backhand to put one in the open side. The two goals Reynolds scored were half of his total output in 31 games last season. season. However, in his defence, defence, it should be noted that he did see limited ice time. "No, I wasn't thinking offense, offense, I'm mostly a defensive e er," he said with a _h. "I've been pretty pleased with my camp so far, and I'll take the goals ns they come," he said, crediting crediting his linemates Stove McRae and Gil Bonneau for his two-goal output. Scott Fenton gave Bow- mnnville a 3-1 bulge early in the third period when his weak shot from the point found the back of the net. Goals by Kevin McAlpine and Clapperton brought Cobourg Cobourg even at 3-3, and set the stage for the late game horoieshy Robinson.

He didn't see an Eagles game last year, but has been offered more than enough opinions about the players on his team. He is inheriting a team that finished last season with a 27-7-2 mark,, but insists insists there is plenty of room ' for improvement. Over the years, Bowmanville Bowmanville fans have become accustomed accustomed to seeing a winner, winner, although a provincial title has long eluded them. This year, hopes of obtaining obtaining that title rest on thé shoulders of Mike. Noonan. From the outset, there is no question as to who is running running this year's edition of the Bowmanville Eagles. From President Doug McFeeters, to Manager Bruce Colwell, to even Noonan Noonan himself, the verdict is the same. This is his team. And he leaves no question question as to what type of team he expects to ice. "I want this team to play a disciplined brand of hockey hockey and learn to take a check without retaliating," he began began to explain following an Eagles' win on Sunday night. "Most importantly, I want these guys to learn to spell team, t-e-a-m. Not m-e. I don't want selfish players. Everything has to be for the good of the club." Noonan has plenty of 1 stops on his resume when it comes to his hockey career. Among them are stints with the Jr. 'B's in Oshawa, the Oshawa Generals, the Buf- falo Tondas. He also played senior hockey in Whitby. He talks most proudly of one stop he made during his last year of Junior hockey. It was with the St. Catharines Black Hawks team that went to the Memorial Cup in 1973-74. His team was eliminated by the Quebec Ramparts, who were beaten by the eventual champions, the Regina Pats. You won't find his name engraved in any scoring records, But Mike would like to see his players become the type of player he describes describes himself as being. "I.was a fourth line role player, but I gave 100% all the time. And, as a coach, I expect the same from my players." "I played under one of the strictest coaches, Hap Emms," he recalled. "He was strict but fair. He was the smartest hockey man I ever played for, and if you worked hard for him, there were no problems." Away from the rink, Noonan Noonan has been employed at General Motors for 15 years, has threé kids aged three, five, and nine. Ana, most importantly importantly as he put it, "an understanding wife." He became aware of the head coaching position through an advertisement, and recalled applying for the same position about six or seven years ago. This time, he got it. "We. liked Mike's experience experience in junior hockey,' and the fact he's on steady days,", revealed President . Doug McFeeters: "He's going to be in charge." "The two things we'd like to see him have this year are a team with good sportsmanship, sportsmanship, and one that takes less penalties than last year's." The rookie head coach will have his hands full this year, but guarantees they won't be frill of negative players. "This team is going to have some role players, and every night there are going to be a couple of kids in the stands," he warned. "But we need those kids there because because of injuries and suspensions." suspensions." "It's tough to sit, but if they're going to be negative, it's going to hurt the club. And there's no reason why they can't play themselves back into the line-up." That's some advice that had better be adhered to. Jeff Flintoff (#8) and Trevor Lomath (#15) surround a Cobourg Cougar during the Bowmanville Eagles' first exhibition game of the season on Sunday night at the Recreation Complex. The Eagles came away wipners in this one, as a goal by Brad Robinson late in the third period lifted Bowmanville to a 4-3 win. Hard Work Pays Off TOROS The Toro organization worked hard over the summer summer to improve the calibre of hockey in Bowmanville, and so far the work is paying off. A marketing program was initiated, and a training program for coaches to follow follow at this year's try-outs was issued. "I think as directors and executives we have to stay on the coaches and make them follow the program," said Toro president Paul Robinson. "Being the first year, there were a few loopholes loopholes that were brought to our attention, but those will be ironed out." There will be 11 teams wearing the Toro colours this season, including, for the first time, a minor novice novice team. The girls will be back for another season, and the possibility of having two teams still exists. The Toros have also picked up about 12-15 boys from Newcastle Village who don't have teams to play for in their centre. "Our try-out, numbers were much higher this year," said Mr. Robinson. "A lot of the teams iced 30-40 players for their initial training program." The league will remain the same as last year, as Stouffville, Port Hope, Cobourg, Cobourg, Lindsay, Peterborough, Peterborough, Port Perry, Uxbridge and Bowmanville will head-to-head this season. B.R.H.L. If registration numbers are any indication of a successful successful program, the Bowmanville Bowmanville Recreation Hockey League is headed for a banner banner season. Greg Couch, of the B.R.H.L. indicated that registration registration numbers for this season arc , substantially higher than they have ever been. "Wo arc definitely way up in our numbers," said a beaming Mr. Couch. "I guess it's because all of the now people in town, and wo have picked up some kids from the Newcastle and Orono tt B.R.H.L. provides go programs." T Attention!

In addition to the regular season, all teams qualify for the playoffs where kids are guaranteed another 6 to 10 games. "It's safe to say that our program is more than successful," successful," Mr. Couch added. "The cost.to play in our program program is very reasonable, and the kids are provided with a lot of ice time." The ice time, or lack of it, is a concern right now. Because Because registration numbers are so high, the B.R.H.L. is in need of finding some available ice. This shouldn't be too big of a problem with the current current situation in both Newcastle Newcastle and Orono. NEWCASTLE The Newcastle Minor Hockey Association will be operating with only half the number of teams they iced last season. Jim Conboy, who is in his first year as president of the N.V.M.H.A., revealed that there will be no peewee, bantam, or midget teams operating operating out of Newcastle Village Village this year. Only a novice, novice, atom, two tyke teams ana two girls' teams will wear the green and gold colours colours of Newcastle. "We saw it coming a couple of years ago when the numbers seemed to be getting getting thinner and thinner," he said in reference to the declining registrations from older kids. The numbers have been especially low in the midget program. Orono and Newcastle have combined combined their players to ice a midget team the past couple of seasons, "With the recent population population explosion we've had.

ORONO Like Newcastle, Orono's registration is also down for the upcoming season. There will be five teams in Orono this season includ-, ing a novice, tyke, atom, peewee, and bantam team. Although the numbers are lower, Gord Lowery is optimistic that they will increase increase as the season gets underway. underway. "The same thing happens every season,. Once tne ice goes in, a few more kids show up to play," he said. Mr. Lowery cited kids going going to play B.R.H.L. as the reason for the declining numbers.
