14 PORT PERRY STAR - Wednesday, August 22, 1973 You're the athlete Cartwright Venturers enjoy Algonquin canoe trip You figure it out Every winter our sports section swells into two, and sometimes more pages, because people who bowl, curl, skate and dribble basketballs make sure we know the score. Every summer the section almost disappears because people who swim, fish, horseshoe, lawn bowl, play baseball or hit tennis balls don't. We would like to have a full sports section every week of the year. With luck this reminder may bring in few more summer reports. If it doesn't we don't know what to try next. You're the athlete. You figure it out. HY. dt "a By Dennis Malcolm The First Cartwright Venturer Company enjoyed a 80 mile canoe trip in Algonquin Park from August 4 to 11. On Friday evening August 3 Mr. Archi- bald left for Lake St. Peter with 4 canoes and 3 Vent- urers. They were Muray Archibald, Paul Kristensen, and Rayner Welts and they spent the night there. The next morning Mr. Kuening left with Mr. Welts, Advisor and other three Venturers Cordell Kuening, TomWotten, and Dennis Malcolm. They arrived at the Algonquin Park Camp- site at noon and the other three Venturers arrived shortly. After crossing Canoe Lake we made a portage into Joe Lake. From there we paddled into Little Joe Lake, up rapids and then into Baby Joe Lake. We travelled up more rapids and camped at the dam at the end of Burnt Island Lake. After the tents were pitched we explored the dam. The next morning Murray and Rayner backtracked to Arrowhon Lodge and from there walked back to the Portage Store for various necessities. We packed up after lunch and paddled into Burnt Island Lake, portaged into Little Otterslide Lake and from there to Otterslide Lake. We arrived at 5:30 and camped beside another group of courteous camp- ers. Using all our ingenuity we manged to roll a huge boulder, 6 feet in diameter into the lake. In the morning we journeyed down Otterslide Creek making 4 short por- tages. This took us into Big Trout Lake where we ate lunch on a Peninsula. We set out along the lake and camped at 2:00 at the north-west corner, Stiff fine for drinking & operating a boat Daniel David Wilson, 23, of R. R. 1 Severn Bridge, was convicted of impaired navigation of a vessel in provincial court, Tuesday. Wilson was given the option by the court of paying a $200 fine or 10 days in jail, Wilson requested the 10 days in jail. Orillia OPP said on August 12, an officer ob- served a man in a 15-foot boat on the Severn River, one mile east of Highway 11 steering the boat erratic- ally. Upon investigation by an OPP officer, a strong odor of alcohol was detected on Wilson's breath. Upon conducting a breathalizer test, Wilson was charged with impaired navigation of a vessel. 7 Swimming and fishing occupied the rest of the day. On August 7, we went to the dam at the north end of the lake on a fishing ex- pedition and arrived back with 3 speckled trout for lunch., Later, Rayner, Tom, and myself returned to the dam to fish some more, but no more were caught. We returned at 8:30 to find a clam bake in progress. The clams didn't taste too bad. The next morning we paddled from Big Trout Lake through Trout Lake to Grassy Bay. There was a bit of confusion over the route but we finally made our way down McIntosh Creek over two portages into McIntosh Lake. After crossing the lake we pitched camp and got in a hassle with a raccoon. I think we won because he didn't re- turn. ) On August 9 we set out at 9:00 a.m. down an unnamed river to Ink Lake. There the water was the color of weak tea. We crossed the 2,100 yd. portage into Tom Thomson Lake to Little Doe Lake through Fawn Lake, Teepee Lake, Joe Lake and then we camped on Joe Island at 1:30 p.m. on a cliff. When camp was make we left for the Portage Store on Canoe Lake and Mr. Kuening left for home. While there we stocked up on necessities and returned back to camp at 6:30. The rest of the night was spent swimming. A thunder storm that night, soaked a lot of sleeping bags and blew one tent over. The next morning sleep- ing bags were dried and the tent was put back up. Pan- cakes were made all during the day and daring jumps into the deep water from the 27 foot high cliff. We slept under the stars that night, close to the edge of the cliff. It was one of the few night we didn't get rain. On the morning of August 11 we packed up camp for the last time and arived at the store at 9:30. Soon Mr. Archibald, Glenn Malcolm, and Mr. Kristensen arrived and transported Mr. Welts and six weary but happy Venturers and equipment home.

Sixty area residents took part in the school's first session in June. Jon Bourgeois, a student at Port Perry High Sehool who took the course for the second time commented 'It was lots of fun.

This was handled capably in Port Perry by the executive of the Rate Payer's Associ- ation. When asked for sugges- tions for improving the course Ralph DeJon com- mented, "There is no way I can think of improving the course except by obtaining better co-operation from the weatherman. He gave us too many calm days." Constable Ed Laas of the Whitby detachment of the O.P.P. concluded the week long session with the comment: "Extremely worthwhile.
