Choice i Atom As battle Laurentian and Wreckers tie On Tuesday, Dec. 21 the Port Perry Atom 1 "Malmont Farms" team travelled to Peterborough to take on the Peterborough "Nationals" team. This was the team we had met on a couple of prior occasions and had beaten in our last meeting. Port Perry started off the game with all lines skating hard and checking well and ear- ly in the period we took the lead on a goal by Steven Wygerde who had help from Sean Jeffrey and Jason itworth. Howev- er, the lead.did not hold long as Peterborough tied the score a minute later and the tie held to the end of the first. Peterborough found their scoring touch early in the sec- ond period though as they Peterborough grabbed the lead on two very® quick goals - a lead they did not relinguish as they added their fourth goal early in the third pe- riod. Port Perry managed another goal to bring the score closer at 4-2 but Peterborough were very effective at backchecking and forechecking and did not allow Port Perry any more scoring chances. Port's second goal was scored by Scott Brownson on an assist by Chris Skerratt. Chris Monsma played well in net for Port Perry and our de- fense worked hard to try and clear Peterborough out from our net.

Suddenly last winter snowmobilers started to hear the new "TOP" term. Most probably thought it > was synonymous with "best". While this may be true, it's by no means the full story. With the debut of the first TOP Trail map in 1992, few had any idea of the scope or _purpose, so it came under immediate criticism. It showed a system apparently excluded much of Southern Ontario and seemed too general to be of much use on the trail. In fact, that map was a prototype for an evolving new trail network that will not be formally completed until 1995. But since rumors about TOP Trails were already making the rounds, the idea of that map was to collect existing data so that the OFSC, the clubs, and snowmobilers could see the vision on paper and would have the same base to work from for improvements and corrections. It would also provide both tourists and Ontario snowmobilers with a current, albeit incomplete, snapshot of the new system and give some indication of what it could and would be. Most important, the first TOP Trail map was a key tool in making SNO-TRAC a reality. The $20.8 million, 'Snowmobile Trail Rehabilitation and Construction (SNO-TRAC) partnership between the Province and the OFSC is geared to the job creation, economic development and winter tourism opportunities associated with putting the TOP Trail system in place. That first map was essentially the blueprint around which SNO-TRAC proponents could (successfully) rally support. So while the map may have been incomplete, it served its purposes exceedingly well. Now enter a second and considerably updated TOP Trail map. The 1994 version is a quantum leap forward and addresses many TOP Trail concerns, not the least of which is: what is a TOP Trail anyway? Top 'Trails are an acronym for Trans Ontario' Provincial Trails: an interconnecting network of snow highways whose main function is to carry snowmobile traffic from one corner of tr.e province to the other linking snowbelt communities along the way. There are three kinds of TOP Trails. TOP Trunk Trails are the main through routes. Mostly they run from border to border joining Ontario's various snowmobile regions. There are presently five Trunk Trails designated by a single letter from "A" to "E" shown in red on the new map. TOP Connector trails connect trunk trails to one another. They are denoted by a letter- number:letter designation such as E103B, where the "103" is the actual connector number and the "E" and "B" indicate the two YAMAHA The Power To Satisfy ~ trunk tails so linked. The new map displays connectors in green. Finally, there are TOP Feeder Trails, which originate locally and feed traffic into the system. They are labeled with a letter- number combination such as D105 where "105" is the feeder number and the "D" is the Trunk Trail it feeds. Feeders appear in blue. Where a feeder starts at a border crossing it may be shown as letter-number-letter "E110Q" where the last letter is the initial of the province or state. Part of the confusion with TOP Trail stems from the erroneous assumption that the whole system is new. In fact, while the TOP Trail concept and designations are new, the system uses both existing snowmobile trails, many of which were previously the 61d provincial "SNO" routes, and existing corridors previously unused for legitimate snowmobiling. In all, of about 9,500 kms. of TOP Trails being developed under SNO- TRAC, only a small portion actually involve cutting a brand new trail where none existed before. So what does all of this mean to you? By 1995, Ontario will have the best rail systent in the world. For local, regional or trans- provincial riding, you will be able to access the TOP Trail System almost anywhere in the province, riding as far as your time and inclination allow. The standard set by the new TOP system will also positively impact your local club's trails, making the overall provincial trail standards much, better. Meanwhile, the new map will attract more snowmobiling tourists and give .more momentum to the economics upon which the current snowmobiling boom is based. On the trail, it means redesigned TOP Trail signs. The familiar white triangles now sport the new TOP Trail logo and more legible, bright red trail numbers. With many more upgraded TOP Trails coming on stream this winter, you'll see more signs and more clearly marked intersections. Almost 200,000 new directional markers are being added by 1995. And TOP Trails will be the best trail. Since SNO-TRAC began last winter, 37 new groomers have made our provincial fleet the world's largest. Many more groomers will be added by 1995. With new bridges and signs, wider trails and better sightlines, and much improved grooming capability, our snowmobiling will be the "tops" in the world. To benefit, all you have to do is buy an OFSC trail permit. Until the next time, Happy Trails and remember Sled Smart, Ride Safe. Ride Sober.
