Orono Captures Elusive Soccer Title by Brad Kelly One of this area's longest sporting droughts has ended. ended. For 45 years, Gord Lowery Lowery has been in search of the Darlington Men's Soccer League Championship. And on Monday night, in Orono, his, team gave him the title that has eluded him for all these years. Using a sound defensive strategy, Orono blanked Courtice in the fourth game of their final series, 3-0. "Oh yeah, I'm real excited. excited. I sure hoped it would have came a lot sooner though," said Lowery as his team celebrated all around him following the convincing win. LoweiV began his career career in the league on a junior junior team in 1946, and began the program in Orono in '74. "I'll tell you I'm awful proud of these guys. And you know, every one of them came out of the minor soccer system in the Town of Newcastle." Newcastle." Orono took the lead early in this one, and never looked over its shoulders throughout throughout the entire match. Jeff Vanhaverbeke staked Orono to an early lead, and goals by Randy Pascoe and Chris Vanhaverbeke Vanhaverbeke in the second half salted salted the game away. It was the third successive successive win in the series for Orono. The two teams played to a 2-2 draw in game one, then Orono ran away with the title by scores of 4-3, 5-1, 3-0. Simply put, they dominated. dominated. "It's different because we usually have it easy until the playoffs, and then we fold, explained Jeff Vanhaverbeke. Vanhaverbeke. "This time, it seemed to get easier for us as we went along." "We had an air of confidence' confidence' about us for this series," series," he continued. "We weren't cocky because we've blown leads before." The score could have been much more lopsided than it was_ if not for the goaltending of Courtice's John Chiodi, and the poor shooting of the Orono forwards. forwards. On at least five occasions, occasions, Orono forwards were in alone on' Chiodi only to blast it wide or over top of the goal. Undaunted, Orono pressed Coiirtice for the entire entire match, and seldom had to retreat to their own end. "We've had a good team for the past six years, and a couple of the holes we had were filled by the younger guys this season," summarized summarized Vanhaverbeke. "This year we had a good mix of both young guys and veterans." veterans." With every championship comes talk of a repeat, and coach Lowery left every impression impression that he'll be back at the helm in search of another another title. "I have no intention of quitting because I enjoy it too much," he said firmly. "I would only reconsider if we lost a lot of the players off of this team." Chances are, that won't happen.

Not in any way, shape or form do politics belong in sports. Never have, never should. The closest politics should come to sports is when people make reference reference to certain government government actions taking place in the "political arena." But, if Mr. Mulroney has his way, (and by all indications he is going to) then politics is going to play a huge role in the future future of sports in this country. Too huge of a role.

So why, please somebody tell me why, can he not play " A " hockey in the "Town of tie more frequently. The GST, they say, is going to help to pay off the national debt that those who we elected to power have accumulated. But who will bail out the taxpayer when he or she goes into debt as a result of this latest tax? Simply put, the GST means that every time we go to the store to buy little little Johnny or Suzie a pair of shoulder pads or figure skates, an extra 7% GST tax is going to be added to the 8% retail tax, that is added on to the retail sales price. Had enough "added ons" yet? The government doesn't think so. When the time comes to register little Johnny or Suzie for hockey or figure figure skating, you'll notice that the registration fees are a little higher than they were last year. Groups have to compensate compensate for the GST they will be paying on ice rental. And if that's not enough to bum a hole in your wallet, then the GST you have to_ pay for registering a child over 14 years of age will certainly certainly have you digging deep into your pockets. But the anger and frustration that you'll no doubt have, will be targeted targeted at the wrong people. people. You'll vent your frustrations frustrations at the person behind the registration desk. The innocent one. And it will be organizations organizations like the B.M.H.A, B.R.H.L., B.F.S.C. or the Community Services Department Department that will be forced to be the bad guy. They'll be stuck with answering all your questions, questions, and taking the wrath of your disapproval with the elevated costs. You can bet that Brian Mulroney or, for that matter, Durham ■ M.P. Ross Stevenson, won't be behind the desk explaining explaining that the extra cost is going to get the country out of debt. By making individual groups impose the tax, the government is living out the phrase of "hiding behind someone's skirt." You know, maybe there is a similarity between between one particular sport and politics. The World Wrestling Federation is, after all, a land of make-believe and phonies.
