A -------------- a A Alt PAR ASS A A ANAT A AAI ACA "A Family Tradition for 127 Years" i, PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, January 4,1994 - 23 Swamp and Blackstock fight to 3-3 overtime draw The Brooklin Bruins contin- ued their dominance in the league as they blanked Woody's Auctions 6-0 in the first game after Christmas layoff. The first period ended up at 4-0 for Mon- sma"s after which they coasted onto victory. The goal scoring was shared by three players with Chris Le- pine attaining the natural hat trick with a pair going to Wayne Tate, and a single to Dan Jan- sma. Tate also picked up a sin- gle assist with two going to Nick Attwood. Also supplying help- ers were Rick Mitchell, Kevin Ibbittson, Ken Fraser, and Ron Attwood. Jim Raaphorst increased his league leading goals against av- erage in recording the shutout. Game two of the day saw the third and fourth place squads battle it out as B&R Swampers and the Blackstock Brewers fought to a 3-3 overtime draw. Blackstock pulled ahead late in the first on an unassisted goal by Cliff Smith. This held up until with just under five minutes to play in regulation time when B&R's Mike Geer tied it up from Brian Pomeroy. This sent it into overtime where the Swampers capital- 1zed on the opening faceoff with Jarrett Harman scoring from Dave Sampson. They added to this when Mike Mitchell set up Dale Lown and it looked like they were on their way. With less than a minute to play the Brewers drew even on goals by Scott MacLennan and Tom Wotten with Steve Halkes, Ron Wagg, and Dave Dalton gaining assists. The last game saw the Fram- er's Gallery nip Emmerson's In- surance in the dying moments 2-1. Laurentian Atoms action The Port Perry Laurentian Bank Atom team recently com- peted in the Orono Block Parent Tournament. It was an exciting, nail-biting experience for all the players and their parents. The players all came away from the tournament, having learned a tremendous amount about win- ning, losing, and about playing together as a team. In the first game, Tom Ma- cArthur opened the scoring for Port Perry early in the first pe- riod, assisted by Eric Bird. Ex- cellent defensive work by Mat- thew Smart and Matthew Frazer kept the opposition scoreless through to the third period. Late in the third the Orono team netted a goal, and then kept the pressure on. As we looked at overtime to settle the game, the Port team had a last second break by David Halward who banged it home with 10 sec-: - ends left to win the game 2-1. The second game was against the Bowmanville Kinsmen hockey team. The Kinsmen opened the scoring early in the first period, and only the excel- lent goaltending of the Port Perry goalie John Barton kept the Kinsmen in check. Port Perry came back in the second with a goal by Eric Bird assisted by Tom MacArthur and Clayton Dales. With the score tied up, the pressure on Port's defence team of Sean Wil- liams and Jason Redman was great. The backchecking of Nicholas Bronson and Zach Fis helped in this defence. It was not enough though as the Bow- Haugens Haugens were the winner by two goals in the matchup against Van Camp on Monday, Dec. 27. Haugens led going into the third period on an unassist- ed goal from Justin Shinn. The Haugens other two goals were scored by Joel Campbell. Greg Jeffrey had two assists and oth- er assists went to Justin Shinn and Jesse Mischtian. The lone Van Camp goal was scored by Joey Lane assisted by [Lukas Fraser and Paul Phillips. Alex Nicolaou for Haugens and Van Camp's Joseph Kozlhinsky were both able to make some good saves in net. Port Perry Printing and Re/ Max tied their game. Printers goals were scored by Devon Howsam unassisted and Pat manville squad scored on an ex- cellent break, putting it in the top corner. With just over a minute to go the Bowmanville team was penalized for rough- ing and then Port pulled its goalie to try for the equalizer. However, luck was just not with them as a lucky shot went the length of the ice to score on Port's empty net. This loss put Port in the "B" championship, held on Wednesday. The third game of the tourna- ment was indeed a high scoring affair. Unfortunately, not on the part of Port Perry. Ajax opened the scoring early, but Port came back with another combination by Tom MacAr- thur and Eric Bird. After Ajax netted another, Port came back with a nice goal on a shot from the point by Joseph Farquhar- son, set up by Gordie Kilner. Ryan Kehoe and Raymond Seager provided some excellent forechecking to keep the opposi- tion under control, with excel- lent defensive work by Ryan Woods. Near the end on the second period however, the Port Perry game plan seemed to break down...and the Ajax. team seemed to have all the breaks. They scored five unanswered goals to end the tournament for Port Perry. The boys had a great tourna- ment to top off their holidays, having so much fun that many were even heard saying "gee whiz, when is school starting?" Many thanks to the parents, grandparents...etc. for all their support. victorious Lewis assisted by Lellen Jack- son. The Re/Max goal scorers were Stormy Wootton assisted by Wesley Langmaid and Clay- ton Gilmore unassisted. In goal for Port Perry Printing was Mark Lott and Justin Koury for Re/Max. Re/Max"s Tyler Lee and Stu- art Cochrane both came up with hat tricks on Friday, Dec. 31 in a game against Van Camp. Wesley Langmaid had a pair and assists went to Daryl Copit- horn, Chris Milligan and Peter Konstantinopolus. The lone Van Camp goal was scored by Paul Phillips op a rush from the blue ling. B.J. Schaump got the assist. Justin Koury was spectacular in net for Re/Max. Tyler Renaud started the scoring late in the opening peri- od as he blasted one in on a set- up by Keith Dalton and Warren Strong. This lone tally held up until with 8:09 to play when L. Collard was sent in by Danny Brown and John Gerber. From here it looked like it would be another overtime af- fair until with just 1:19 to play the Framer's Renaud added his second marker of the game with Dalton again drawing the as- sist. 4 A \ Intrepid SNOWMOBILER c. 1994 by CRAIG NICHOLSON - All Rights Reserved GETTING ALONG WITH MOTHER NATURE" Snowmobiling is a great way to explore and appreciate our winter wonderland. Riding in an environmentally friendly manner assures both minimal disruption of the great outdoors and our continued access to the trails that make our sport possible. As our numbers increase, snowmobilers have a greater duty to preserve and protect the natural environment we enjoy so much. And although most of us are good environmental citizens, there are still too many signs of negligence on the trails. Litter abandoned after a trailside snack; drink containers thoughtlessly tossed aside; stains on the snow where engine fluids have leaked; cigarette butts flicked into the bush;.a beer can stuck on the end of a tree branch in a contemptuous signal of callous disregard. There are those who would exclude any human activity from our public lands and forests. In many areas of the United States snowmobile trails have been lost or restricted through the lobbying efforts of various environmental groups. It could happen here. So snowmobilers can serve both their own future needs and the greater environmental good by following a few simple rules for environmentally friendly riding. MAINTAIN YOUR SLED. Studies show that the modern snowmobile is not a significant polluter if properly maintained. Regular tune-ups sand good maintenance practices curtail the leaks, smoking and breakdowns that can leave pollutants and abandoned parts along the trail. Before you leave home, inspect your belt, plugs, fluid levels, track and suspension for problems. It's always cheaper and more convgnient to make repairs and replacements at ome. Besides, a reliable sled is your passport t6 a safe ride. LEAVE NO TRACE. A snowmobiler's goal should be the challenge of completing the ride without leaving behind any visibie evidence of our passage except track marks. If each of us accomplished this mission successfully on every ride, our environmental impact would be insignificant. It would be to each rider as if none had gone before. To leave no trace, each of us has to commit to carrying out with us everything we have brought in. Aside from some inexplicable human urge to divest ourselves of garbage as soon as we create it, there's no good reason why this can't happen. If there was room to bring it, there's no less room to take it out. Don't litter. TREAD LIGHTLY. Nature is a fragile things that we humans tend to treat in a bull- in-a-china-shop manner. This propensity is magnified by the aura of invincibility lent by powerful machinery. Off-tranl riding is the worst culprit, threatening the most environmental degradation, It 1s also the most likely way to damage sled and rider. Snowmobiling acquired a nasty reputation in the late sixties, due in no small part to the negative public reaction to random cross- country riding that broke fences, damaged crops, destroyed trees, eroded stream banks, resulted in trespass and frequently threatened lives. Today, with 35,000 kms. of designated Ontario snowmobile trails, there 1s no reason to ride anywhere else but on a sanctioned trail. Snowmobile trails are controlled access corridors that permit peaceful coexistence with nature: snowmobilers can ride and enjoy with minimal environmental impact; wildlife and nature can have their own uninterrupted and separate time and space in the forest. By staying on the trails, thousands of snowmobilers can pass through an area quickly, efficiently and in a manner safe to both rider and nature. DON'T CHASE WILDLIFE. Among the thoughtlessness, cruel and willful acts of environmental stupidity is running down animals. It's illegal, immoral and provokes degerved reaction from any friend of Mother Nature. Most wildlife stay away from snowmobile trails, but deer particularly tend to use the hard packed trails as easy access to winter food and shelter. Should you come upon a deer, slow down to a crawl until they move off on their own accord. If you choose to observe or take that million dollar photo, slow to a stop, leave your engine running and stay seated. They've heard you coming and any sudden change in sound, sight or motion will spook them. A snowmobiler's goal is to allow the deer to move away at a leisurely, unpanicked pace. MAKE LESS NOISE. One of the most frequent complaints about snowmobiles is noise pollution. Despite improvements that have reduced engine noise significantly in recent year, theres still too much unnecessary noise: after market exhaust, riders revving for no apparent reason, trails too close to populated Areas, indiccriminate late nighf snowmobiling are among the worst offenders. As responsible riders, we should be more considerate and aware that not everyone within 'hearing distance has their ears protected by a helmet!
