I By Brad Kelly BMHA and Girls At it Again It had been a long quiet summer. The phones rarely rang, submitted stories were at a minimum, and we were able to successfully go into hiding most weekends. Oh how times have changed. The phones have once again begun to ring. There's no place to hide. And a glance at the stack of sports stories submitted by volunteers confirms our suspicion that there must be somebody out there reading the paper. The hockey season began on a high note, as the in-fighting between local hockey organizations was settled. The BMHA, BRHL and Orono went to the bargaining table, and hammered out agreements that left all concerned feeling they had gained in the negotiations. That, folks, isn't the end of it, though. A phone call into the office on Monday morning changed things. A representative from the Toro girls' hockey team was on the other end, and was quite perturbed, perturbed, we might add. "I'm mad as heck," said the caller. 'Then why are you calling me?," I asked, hoping that it wasn't anything I had done, or didn't do. Her complaint was directed towards the treatment treatment that the BMHA has given the girls' team towards towards their dee time. "We have no ice time for make-up or playoff games. We could be in playoffs in mid-March, and we don't have any ice after January 28," said the irate caller, pointing out that the house league season season runs until February 10, two weeks after their final-scheduled ice. "We can't make a proper house league schedule with this ice time. We'll either have to forfeit our games or go out of town to play," she added. So what would a workable solution be? "We want the same ice we'vë had for the last two years," she said of their regular Monday and Tuesday Tuesday blocks of ice. "That's what they (the BMHA) promised us in September and that's what we expected expected until they handed us the schedule." The situation sounds no different than years past for the girls. The question of getting shafted each year was posed. "Every year, yes," she said with confidence. "We have to fight every year." Alas, there are two sides to every story. "I said I would give them the ice they had last year if they could guarantee us a team, and at the time, they couldn't," said a representative from the BMHA. At the time the schedules for ice were drawn up, the girls didn't have enough registrations registrations to ice a team. That has changed since. "In all fairness to us, they couldn't produce a team at the time, so we had to do what was best for the association," he added. "We were in a situation where we couldn't leave a block of Monday ice sitting sitting open. .Their coach was told this, and he said if that's the way it has to be, then fine." We're caught in the middle on this one, and refuse refuse to pick a side. For a change, we'll let you decide. decide. Would it be deemed sexist to suggest, because of the parties involved, that the two sides should kiss and make up? Again, we'll let you decide on that one.

Girls Click for Victory by Brad Kelly The midgel girls' basketball basketball team at St. Stephen's were in the driver's seat for last Thursday's Kawartha League game against Co- bourg West. The driver's scat of a stan dard transmission car, that is. As each quarter came, they shifted gears, reaching a higher speed each time. By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, they were in top gear. A 19-point outburst in the final quarter gave them an easy, 55-38 win. You might say that they were able to put it into cruise control-for die final few minutes minutes of the game. They were that dominant. The game against Cobourg Cobourg West was typical of their first league game of the year, a 34-32 overtime win against Campbcllford. A slow start followed by a flourish at the end enabled them to win that game. The The midget girls' basketball team at St. Stephen's High School remained undefeated after winning in convincing fashion, 55-38, over Cobourg West last Thursday. Team members include, front row, (1-r), Jenny Cole, Kristian Gordon, Meaghan McGuire, Aimee Leipsig.

Good Start for Halminen Homes The major bantams have put together four straight wins as they 1991-92 season gets under way. With the major/minor system system now in operation in the Toro organization, the major bantams were left with a very short bench: Coach/manager Paul Robinson, Robinson, along with assistants Ken Nesbitt and Mike Colwell, will develop a system most suitable for the calibre of clientele they have. We want a team that the Toro organization will be proud of both off and on the ice, not necessarily a championship championship team, but a disciplined team.

Jeff Darrach from Ryan Robinson, and Bruce Hamilton from Rich Swale and Ryan Robinson closed out the scoring. The Toros arc missing some key players from their lineup this season, but this team will develop, if the first four games are any indication of their desire desire and determination to learn.

"That's exactly how we played it the last time," said one of the coaches of the team, Fiona Crangle. "We are still a new team and they have to learn how to play together. together. They seem to pull it together by the end of the game." Both teams had a terrible opening quarter, as their play indicated that it was still early early in die season. They finished finished the opening eight minutes minutes tied at six apiece. St. Stephen's began to" lake charge in the second quarter. A full court press in the offensive zone resulted in some turnovers dial they were able to capitalize on. Aimee Leipsig, who finished finished with a game high 22 points, began to lake charge of die game in the second quarter. She made the most out of her height advantage at both the offensive and defensive defensive ends of the court. Along with Jenny Cole, they were able to pick up the slack after Meaghan McGuire spent most of the quarter on the bench with four fouls. It was the type of leadership leadership that coach Cranklc was looking for from her better players. "They seem to be the strongest. They always come through in die crunch for us," she said. "Those girls really do seem to know how to play the game by themselves. We're (the coaches) just dicrc for support." The first half ended with St. Stephen's ahead 22-17. Once McGuire returned for the second half, the game was no longer in doubt. St. Stephen's continued to press, and at one point in the fourdi quarter had built their lead to 24 points. McGuire finished the game with 11 points, while Cole and Kara Melanson each had nine. It's too early to tell just how good diis team may get as die season progresses. But with a 2-0 start, early indications indications are that it will be a strong one. "They seem to have a natural natural , talent for it (basketball)," (basketball)," said Cranklc.' "I think by the end of the season they will be working much'strong- - cr as a team, and we expect big things from them. "Wc don't want to put the pressure on diem, wc want them to have fun. But, yeah, we'll reach the playoffs," she said with an optimistic laugh. St. Stephen's will be back in action tomorrow (Thursday), (Thursday), when they travel to Port Hope.

Do you realize that you are being gouged about 2 million dollars a month in a totally unnecessary tax. The Onlar o Government has already collected over one hundred million In the so called Tire Disposal Tax. In many paris of the world, scrap lires have proven to be a real bonanza. Instead uL?ih S Iir®cDcc 0 f rS ! f'py ,urn l n 9 Waste into Energy and providing them with millions ol dollars worth ol FREE electricity. This system is now In use in many of the U.S. Stales, one as close as Ohio and even California, which has one of the strictest environmental laws In ihe world. II is also being used in many other countries. h=iü™în S -icnn. 9 ii d le 5 l! in h c a n v £ been made and al1 have proven, withoul a doubt, that as lires burn between 1500 F and 1850 F, smoke emissions from the chimney are much cleaner than either coal or oil, and even Ihe ashes make excellent ground fertilizer. In Ontario, we have two hydro plants (one never opened) that could start to turn Waste into Energy almost at once at very little cost. This would save Ihe Ontario tax payer Ihe approximate 660,000 Darrels ol oil it lakes to fuel these Iwo plants at a cost of 26 million dollars each year. These two plants could generate over $19,000,000 worth of FREE electricity every day. This would result in a total saving to the Ontario tax payer ol over 30 million dollars, rather than gouging them with approximately 40 million dollars so called Tire Disposal Tax every year. Our Association has submilled to both Premier Bob Rae and Environment Minister Rulh Grier, proof mat turning Waste into Energy meets and beats all 1990 environmental standards. They should be able to believe the tests of such giants as Ohio Edison and Ihe Slate of California. Ontario should not have to waste millions ol dollars on further tests. All ol our proposals lo dale have fallen on deal ears. Only YOU, the lax payer and voter can contact your M.P. and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. No one can sit back and say, "As I do not use tires, Ihe tax does not hurt me". WRONG, as they are now predicting a large Increase In electricity costs, it effects all. Rather than having lo increase costs, by turning Waslo into Energy, we should bo able lo reduce the costs substantially. Tho heal generated by the burning of ono tiro can generate enough electricity to supply one house for one day. In Ontario we have 10 million tiros each year. Thai's FREE'electricity tor ten million homes. It Is up to YOU to tell our government to leavo tho oil and coal in the qround for future generations. Use tho FREE fuel we now have. R.B.
