Joanne Cartan was given her first horse when she was eight- years-old and began barrel rac- ing at the age of 10. Since that day the 27-year-old Port Perry resident has made quite a name for herself in the Ontario Rodeo Association Circuit. td Cartan finished fourth this year in the All-Around Stand- ings of the association. Only competing in two events, the barrel racing and breakaway roping competitions, it is a re- markable feat when you consid- er the other finishers in the All- Around Standings, who are all men, also receive points for oth- er categories such as calf roping and steer wrestling. Cartan is quick to point out thatitis not that she cannot en- ter all of the other competitions, she says she just feels she Joanne Cartan competes in the Ladies Breakaway Roping competition at an all girls rodeo held. in Rockwood earlier this year.

Cartan more than made her mark as she won eight of the 11 rodeos held by the association this year. : The rodeos are held in many local areas such as Bowman- ville and Peterborough, and | Cartan said she would like to see one organized in the Scugog areain the future, The Mount Albert native moved to Scugog Township four . years ago. She currently runs Quarter Lane Farms, a training and boarding stable in Port Perry. Fu She originally used her horse fo: trail riding, strictly for pleas- ure, but later found barrel rac- ing tobe more exciting. "Barrel racingis alot more ex- ~ citing, I enjoy racing the clock and it is my only judge," Cartan told the Port Perry Star. The Ontario Rodeo Associa- tion Year-End Championships were held recently in Bowman- ville and Cartan was crowned the Barrel Racing Champion, a title she has held for four years. Cartan and her horse Canajun, who she describes as "big heart- ed" and a horse who never gives up despite adversity, have won the championships every year since 1990. Cartan competed in the La- dies Breakaway Roping Cham- pionships in Bowmanville this year as well. She has been com- -peting in this event for three years and has been successful in in it as well winning the Ladies Breakaway Roping Champion- ship bucklein 1991.

IGA Juniors lose Barrie squad The Port Perry 1.G.A. J uniors travelled to Barrie to open an- other Ringette season. Having never experienced the Junior A level there was much anticipa- tion before game time. The girls ran into some early penalties that threw the lines askew and allowed the Barrie team to jump on top. With these penal- ties the opposition took full ad- vantage. The 1.G.A. squad fell behind early and at the end of the first period Barrie had a 3-0 lead which they added to shortly into period two. Despite some early shooting problems Shona Moase put Port on the board with a nice setup from Cara Vander Slagt. The comeback continued as the sec- aspect of the game improved as the game continued. Lisa Bonser picked up Port's second: goal with the assist go- ing to Natasha Burgess. With time running down and, Port pressing Shona notched her second of the game to bring the team within one. Assists on this goal went to Linda Payne and Jenny Storms. Barrie called a time out with just 1-1/2 minutes remaining. From the ensuing free pass the opposition maintained control for almost a minute. As time was running out Port had one last rush which came up empty to leave the score as 4-3 win for Barrie. Co The girls played an excellent game after a bit of a shaky start and you can expect some quality Ringette from this newly as- sembled group as the year pro- gresses.
