May 12, 1982 port Soccer coaches needed! 300 children register to play The soccer season will soon be upon us and this article is meant to give those interested in the activities of the Scugog Youth Soccer Club some idea -of what is planned for the upcoming season. Registration has been heavy with approximately 300 children wanting to play. Teams are in the process of being picked, coaches allocated and game schedules prepared. Very soon coaches will be contact- ing their players for their first outdoor practices when uniforms, team lists etc. will be handed out. There will be 6 teams in the MINI division this year. They practice on Mondays and play Wednesdays on the 3 new fields specially pre- pared for them. 4 mixed teams constitute the SQUIRT division and they practice 1 :esday and play Thursday. For the first time boys and girls play together in the ATOM division and these 4 teams practice Tues- day and play Thursday. The 4 all-boy MOSQUITO teams practice on Mondays and play Wednesday. Our 2 boy PEE-WEEteams (coaches required!) will play in a league with 2 or 3 teams from Uxbridge. Their practice and game nights have not as yet been decided upon. Both of our all-girl travelling teams, MOSQUITOS and PEE- WEES, seem to be well organized and have already been out with their coaches. The boys bantam team has entered a Competitive league this year and have been practicing for several weeks. Their first game is at home on May 31. For our house league teams the season starts on the week of May 24 with 3 weeks of exhibition games during which teams may be levelled. The 9 game league competition will start during the week of June 14 with a 2 week break (weeks "beginning 19th and 26th July) for vacations and-or exhibition games. league winners will be decided before Labour Day Weekend and then only Cup Day on September 11 will remain. Our very popular Western Weekend Tournament will again be staged this year and select house league teams from other surrounding clubs will challenge our best players from the Atom and - Mosquito divisions. Hope- fully lots of visitors can enjoy all the other Western Weekend activities as well as see an entertaining brand somewhat. Three new soccer fields have 'been created. The two big new fields will be operational The . from the start and our older teams will not have to play at the High School. Other additions at our fields include a large trailer which we hope to turn into a club- house of sorts and two.sets of bleachers. Any help in the form of either labour or materials on such projects would be appreciated. Please show the same con- sideration in parking cars as was done last year. We do not want young children playing around the car park nor, of course, near the old barn. . Our publicity manager would like lots of help in writing up game reports. She will set up in the trailer to collect these reports at the end of the games. Though the referee scene looks healthy this year, some coaches are still required and they would appreciate help from interested parents. By the way, for those of the older set who might want to unknot long forgotten muscles, there will be Sunday morning kickabouts once the weather gets warmer. If the parents can respond in some measure to the hard work put in by this year's executive, :then the kids should be in for an enjoyable summer. The club's executive members are Colin Dodd, Vice-President and Tournament chairman; Pat Davis, Secretary; Judy Mills, Treasurer; Harold Westerman, Sponsorship; Marilyn. Watson, Publicity; Jim Adams and Richard Drew, Equipment; Roy Cowling, Head Coach; Alf Huggins, Head Referee; Keith Elliott, Fields Manager; Peter Jones, Registrar and Brian Mark, President. Canoe Nonquon, June 15 Scugog's popular spring rite, Canoe the Nonquon,. is all set to go on its 14th running on Saturday, June 5. In the last 13 years, several thousand people have chosen to commune with nature in all its moods along this peaceful and beautiful waterway, although occasionally nature has conspired to make the course a little more arduous by throwing out an adverse wind on Lake Scugog. The whole effort was organized in 1969 to provide funds to support Scugog Shores Museum, and this aspect of the race has become of utmost import- ance in the high-cost 80's. As museum costs have risen, so too the expense of just running the race have risen, so this year the committee has decided to try to improve revenues by offering prizes Bowlers recel to those who bring in funds as well as to those who paddle well in the race itself. Every canoeist is given a crest to mark his par- ticipation in Canoe the Nonquon - - but this year, any individual who himself brings in $25 in contributions" will get his crest on a hat. Any individual who brings in $50 or more in sponsorship will receive a Gift Certificate valued at 20 percent of his contribution. The Gift Cer- tificate will be good for Radio Shack equipment at the House of Howard in Port Perry. The committee hopes that more people will take part in Canoe the Nonquon this year, either by paddling themselves, or by sponsoring those who do. Every year during the race, canoes are observed sitting high and dry on properties along the ~ A ve trophies course - - and people always say, "I would have donated to Canoe the Nonquon, but nobody asked me!" The committee is hoping that" canoe owners will encourage someone to use their canoe, and that those who do will ask more people to sponsor them. : When all is said and done, those who paddle will find that they have had a special experience - and they will probably want to try again another year. That Canoe the Nonquon can give this kind of satisfaction, as well as support a worthwhile endeavour such as our museum, is one of the strengths that has made Canoe the Nonquon one of The T-shirts tell the story for Jerry Fowler and Leigh-Ann Goreski, grade eight students who were declared the "fittest of the fit" at R.H. Cornish School last Friday afternoon. But winning the honour was no easy task, by any means. [See story]. 60 pupils compete in fitness contest Jerry Fowler and Leigh- Ann Goreski have been de- clared "the fittest students" at R.H. Cornish School in Port Perry. The two grade eight students earned the honours last Friday afternoon follow- ing a series of athletic events designed to measure overall fitness. The final test was a gruelling double lap around the track at Port Perry High - School which included a zig- the largest races in Ontario. - It is hoped that this year's race will be one of the biggest and best yet! The Wednesday afternoon Ladies Bowling League concluded another season last week with the presentation of team and individual awards. High triple (727) went fo Vivian Rodd [left] Diane Andrews had the high single of 387, while Gerri Langille had high average with 194, The team with most fetal pins was Marg Lee, Pat Lovering, Amy Van Schagen, Jean Rankin, Diane Andrews and June Kett, zag course up.and down the steep hill on the south side of - the track. About 60 students took part in the preliminary testing which included step-ups, sit- ups and push-ups. Using a point system, this number was reduced to ten boys and ten girls for the final events, and over a period of days - they negotiated an obstacle course, took part in a bicycle "race, ran up stairs, did a minute of chin-ups, and fin- ished with the cross-country race. This is the first year the school has held this fitness testing event, and it likely will become an annual affair. The idea for it was based on the national Gillette Challenge fitness testing events. When all the events were over Friday afternoon and .. the points tallied up, Leigh- - Ann and Jerry were present- ed with special t-shirts by principal Murray Prentice. The following are the point scores for the five fittest boys and girls at the school. Jerry Fowler -720; Paul Goreski - 650; Tim Cannon - 580; Curtis Harman - 530; Ron Brown --520. Leigh-Ann Goreski - 740; Sandra Liston - 620; Wendy Brown - 500; Bonnie Crone - 490; Donna Edwards - 450. ¥ Youth Tennis tournament awarded local tennis club Port Perry Tennis Club has been chosen as one of 25 . sites across Canada for the 1982 Pepsi-Wilson Minor Tennis League.
