- weref 18 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, August 12, 1986 Redmen are on a roll with three straight Brooklin Redmen might have end- ed out their regular season play in Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA) Major Series action on a bit of a see-saw, but now that the playoffs are here, they are perfor- ming like the team that won the Mann Cup just a year ago. In two of their last three games, Redmen came from behind...not an easy feat allowing for the calibre of tion...and stand at the top of the heap with three victories. Their first matchup, vith Bramp- ton Excelsiors was anything but ex- citing, almost as though both squads each other out, but the results proved Brooklin to be the better team as they emerged on top of an 18-8 score. John Jordan, fresh off a world field lacrosse experience, which saw Canada win a silver medal, had a great night, tallying seven points for Redmen with three goals and four assists. Ken Colley, Tom Wreggitt, Dale Kernohan, Kevin VanSickle, Jim 'Wesson, and Gil Nieuwendyk each picked up a pair of markers with single coming from Greg Kent, John Fusco and Eric Perroni. Derek Keenan, who was also a member of Canada's field lacrosse team, and Fusco each picked up five assists for the night. Jordan follow- ed up with four; Nieuwendyk and Wreggitt three each. The big test came on Tuesday as arch rival Peterborough Lakers travelled to Brooklin's Luther Vi- pond Arena. Redmen did not look at all confi- dent during the opening frame. As a matter of fact, they let Lakers walk, or should we say run, all over them building up an early 4-0 lead. Peterborough Was sharp from the opening whistle, both offensively and on defense, and during the star- ting minutes, it looked as though it was going to be a Laker's blowout. Ten years of ideas, innovations, excellence and enthusiasm The Whitby Jaycettes celebrated their tenth anniversary this past April 1st. But the dinner meeting at- tended by past and new members, ~ past-presidents, friends from the Bowmanville and Oshawa Jaycettes and Central Region Jaycette vice- president, Mary Ellen Sunderland of Brampton, only marked the begin- ning of the anticipation for excellent results at Central Region and Na- tional Jaycette's Yearly Competi- tions. As hoped for, Regional Conven- tion, held in Timmins May 16-18, had the Whitby Jaycettes bring home many awards: 2nd place in Unit Publication Category C; 1st Place in Category C for Outstanding Unit; Runner-up for Outstanding Unit President - Nancy McDowell; 1st Place for Outstanding Project -- Polka Dot Door Live (2nd year in a row); 1st Place in the visual display of a pro- ject 'Project Fair' for the Clown Faces at the Whitby Jamboree last Setpember; top First Year Jaycette of the Region, Terry Doucette; and - a Unit Blue Chip Award. The Blue Chip Award is given only to units that have successfully completed all requirements including: operating on a year's plan of action; at least one representative in attendance at all conventions, conferences and ex- ecutive officers training seminar; visitations to other Jaycette units in the District and Region, participa- tion in various Jaycee/Jaycette In- dividual Training courses such as Effective Speaking, Parliamentary Competition in Procedure or Committee Manage- ment; membership growth and a few other requirements. During the Whitby Jaycettes' first 5 years, the unit earned the Blue Chip Award (Gold Chip in the 5th year). During the next 4 years the unit fell short by just one requ.rement. So it was a great honour and pleasure to receive the Blue Chip once again. The Albums were then sent on for - the National Awards Competition. The National Jaycee/Jaycette Con- vention was held in Edmonton, Alberta, June 28 to July 6. President Nancy McDowell was thrilled to ac- cept from National Jaycette Presi- dent, Bev Foubert of Barrie, Outstanding Unit in Category C, Outstanding Project - Polka Dot Door Live, and the National Blue Chip Award (slightly different from the regional award and in its first year as a national award). Competition is fierce at the Na- tional level with 50 units across Canada seeking top recognition. The Whitby Jaycettes have in the past ten years received many awards regionally and nationally including National Jaycette of the Year - Lor- raine Cowen of Ajax, and Outstan- ding Unit over and over again. The members enthusiasm and dedica- tion are at an all-time high as the unit begins its next 10 years of com- munity service, individual develop- ment and fellowship. For more in- formation on dates of meetings and the type of projects run, call Presi- dent Nancy, at 725-3140, to attend a General Meeting (ladies 18-20 years of age) Viewpoint From page 16 If you are good enough, and priced right, the world will flock to your door. On the other hand, if you make a crappy product and charge the earth for it, you don't have an ice cube's hope in Hades of ever selling it. It appears that those who criticize the freer talks fall into the latter category. By the way, remember the to-do over restricting Asian autos? Ask yourself the question '*how can these Orientals build a better product, ship it here, and then sell it for less than our local lads?' 1 think the answer is quite obvious to anyone who has done their homework. Speaking of homework. 1 would like to thank the Cana- dian Federation of Independent Business, particularily Anne Lent, who let me bend her ear and get accurate facts and figures. But Redmen had other ideas. Rallying from a 5-4 first period deficit, and with Paul Boland now in nets for starter Wayne Colley, Redmen kept popping them in and sported an 8-7 lead heading for the final 20 minutes of action, - Although Lakers knotted the score in the early going of the final frame, - Brooklin went on to pound out five straight goals for the 13-9 victory. It was Peterborough tempers that did them in. Deadlocked at eight, Wayne Batley went off for slashing and just 28 seconds later, Mark Evans followed his team mate into the sin-bin. When Wreggitt put Brooklin back into the lead, Bruce Ogylvie was assessed slashing and high sticking minors. The Redmen powerplay unit never looked so good, and never took advantage of the situation as they did at that moment. Nieuwendyk had a fantastic game picking up three goals along the way. Jordan (who also accounted for five assists) Perroni, Kernohan, and Keenan each netted a pair with singles coming from Wasson and Wreggitt. Travelling to Brampton on Thurs- day night, Redmen found Excelsiors ready to plan, and also found themselves on the bottom of a 2-0 count after the opening period. Whatever coach Peter Vipond said during the break obviously worked as Redmen came out for the second period with fire in their eyes. They outscored the home club 5-2 in the centre frame and 5-4 in the third period to record a 10-8 win. Nieuwendyk was top gun again for Redmen with three goals, follow- ed by a pair each from Fusco and Keenan. Single goals went to Ker- -nohan, Jordan and Wreggitt. Jordan also had three assists, VanSickle, Perroni, Keenan and Gar Crawford two each; Wasson, Fusco and Colley a single. Believe it or not, only two penalties were handed out during the game and both went to Bramp- ton in the second period. Things are shaping up for a race between Peterborough and Brooklin again this year. Lakers will be travelling to Brampton for a mat- chup to-night (Tuesday) and will entertain Brooklin on Friday night in Keene. That should be a dandy and perhaps set the stage for the playoff inal. Tour of historic buildings The people of Whitby and visitors to the town will be in for a special treat during the month of September when they will be provid- ed with not just one but two house tours for their pleasure. Members of the Durham Family YMCA, the Baptist Leadership Education Cen- tre, and the Durham Branch of the Architectural Conservancy of On- tario are now busily preparing for these events. Both will have special touches to make them just a little different from previous tours. It is anticipated that they will be so in- teresting for different reasons that people will want to enjoy both. Saturday, September 13 will see the first of the two tours under way. This one sponsored and organized by the Durham Family Y and the Baptist Leadership Education Cen- tre (B.L.E.C.) will offer at this stage of the planning 8 houses and 6 historic buildings. Y representative, Sandy Frise, and the Education Centre's representative, Marion Ir- win, say that "there will be something for everyone--featuring the old; but newly renovated; and the new." Sandy and Marion, along with Fraser Stewart, the Y's direc- tor, and Bill Chapman, principal of B.L.E.C., have secured houses or buildings representative of almost every decade since 1840. For an added touch, a visit to the historic Centennial Building, where the Y offices are located, will offer a 20 minute slide show of Whitby's history and development. Visitors will be greeted by Whitby's founder, Peter Perry, himself. A visit to the Baptist Leadership Education Cen- tre on Taunton Road just across from Cullen Gardens, will provide talks by and. chats with people knowledgeable about antiques and interior decorating. A quilt show and refreshments will also be able to be enjoyed at the Centre. A coun- try flavour will be added with homemade goodies being offered for sale at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Brooklin and the old one room Ashburn School, now a community centre. Proceeds from these sales will go to special project funds for each building. If weather perinits, several car and buggies from cer- tain decades will be on display in conjunction with the building or house of the same era. These will be provided by Bill Irwin from his col- lection. All in all there promises to be lots of interesting activities to be enjoyed on Saturday. September 13 between the hours of 12 noon and 5 ~ pm. Purchasers of tickets for this tour will also receive a free pass to Cullen Gardens where they can, if they wish, enjoy the gardens as well as their dinner in beautiful surroundings. The © following Saturday. September 20, the Durham Branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario will provide a second house tour which will offer a different slant from the first tour. In fact, this day will offer two separate tours--a daytime one and an evening ver- sion. During the day from 10 a.m. to 4. p.m. the Peter Perry Ses- quicentennial Tour will feature houses and buildings along Highway 12 from Whitby to Port Perry. This tour follows the route established by Peter Perry, acknowledged as the founder of Whitby and Port Perry, as part of his scheme to build a north-south road for commerce bet- ween Port, Whitby and Georgian Bay. Several houses and other buildings will be featured on this tour. Tickets for the evening tour will be limited in number as this tour will feature wine and cheese by BROOKLIN-WHITBY BASEBALL ® Final Stands T-Ball House League Team Foran's Roofing McFarlane Signs Fire Chiefs Ancalabs Legal Beagles Dom's Auto Parts Scott's Colonels Mitchell Brothers Whitby Jay Cees I.T.T.
