3 pd Beugog Citizen -- Tuesday, March 38,1006 -- 36 4 Swampers/Bruins in Broomball final tilt This coming Sunday will see the final sépies of the season in the Port Perry Broombali League played between the Swampers and the Brooklin Bruins after both advanced through the semi: finals. It took the Swampers three games to get past the Blackstock Brewers and the final game was a squeaker as they came out on top of a 1-0 score, The goal came at the midway point of the opening frame with Dale Lown finishing off a three way passing Motley the cat used up a few of her nine lives by Heather McCrae A barn cat named "Motley" once had nine lives. But not any more. She lost half of them last week during a frightening ordeal when she was perched on top of a 30' high hydro pole for over 24 hours. And her saviour was Paul Bent of B&R Electric. The whole bizarre incident unfurled last Tuesday morning when Mgry Mooney heard the pitiful wails of a cat while outside lunging her horse. To her surprise she looked up and discovered her favourite barn cat "Motley" looking down at her from the top of a pole. The weather, being cold and blustery, she immgdiately called her but no a nt of coaxing was going to budge the frightened feline from her nest. "Now, what am | going to do?" 'she thought. When.she didn't get a response from Bcugog Hydro due to lack of manpower, the Mast Road resident called her electrician, Paul Bent of B&R Electric, leaving a message on his answering machine. Hours went by and the weather got nastier but the terrified cat refused to budge. Finally, Paul returned the call and, after telling Mary his truck wasn't running, suggested she put a saucer of milk on the ground. "She'll come down" he said When Mary's husb¥nd came home that afternoon and heard about the dilema in the barn yard, he thought "Darned cat, I'm not going up there". But the concerned couple hiked over to t summer, including the installation of the hydro pole, he was familiar with the surroundings, Mary said. Back within/an hour, the electrician dismantled a section of fence to drive the huge truck into the riding ring and parked it * beside the pole. With Paul in the bucket, he raised himself alongside the stricken cat, and scooping her in his arms, promptly delivered the shivering feline to the safety of her owner's arms. "Paul was wonderful" Mary told the Citizen. "He really went beyond the call of duty and didn't charge for his services." Mary says they moved from the city to the country last year and it's incidents like this that help them enjoy rural life and the wonderful people they meet. Motley the barn oat was still shaking 48 hours after being By now their daughters, Sarah and Callin, had arrived home from Epsom Bchool and were frantic for their cat's life. Leaning the Indder against th pole, Mary began to elimb the ladder, with her daughters holding it at the bottom, "I tried to climb but only got half way up before the ladder became too wobbly in the wind and [ lost my nerve" shé told the witizen That night when the family went to bed all were convinced they'd wake up ih the morning to discover "Motley" had climbed back down and snuggled in her usual spot in the barn, But not so, Half-frosen and terrified, she was still perched on top of the pole and had somehow survived a night of winds, snow and rain, Tne Mory called B&R Electric n, leaving an urgent call with Paul's wife. Minutes « later, Paul and a friend, Steve Redman, drove in to assess the situation, Not wanting to elimb the ladder in case it twisted in the strong wind and fell on the wires, Paul volunteered to go homé and boost the bucket truck, promising to return, Because Paul had done a lot of wiring for the Mooney's last d by electrician Paul Bent. The cat, owned by Mary Mooney, endured 24 hours of cold, rain and snow while perched on top of a 30' high hydro pole.
