AREY) Ed oo Ao : 1 ; i % : 4 a A oie "A Family Tradition for 128 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, May 17,1994 - 21 a (2 i J. PETER HVIDSTEN / PORT PERRY STAR Bruce Peters of Port Perry shows the 3-iron he used to hit a hole-in-one on a 190 yd. par 3 hole at Wolf Run Golf Course on Sunday, May 7. Mr. Peters has been golfing for 25 years and says this is the first time he's ever been close. The shot landed in front of the green then ran up and dropped into the hole. Golfing partners Peter Davidson and lan Morgan witnessed the scarce happening. Softball coaches take part in a "grassroots" clinic Port Perry and District Minor Softball held it's second annual "Grassroots" coaching clinic on May 14. Coaches from Port Perry's Squirt, Pee Wee and Juvenile "Rep" Fastball teams as well as pitcher Chad Ven- ning (from our 1993 Provincial Championship Midget team) volunteered to pass on the bene- fit of their coaching knowledge and experience to some of this year's house league coaching staff. The clinic focused on basic ball skills such as throwing, catching, base running, infield play, outfield play and batting. Attention was also given to practice organization, practice drills as well as items dealing with equipment and player safety. Port Perry Minor Softball would like to congratulate Tyler Briley, Bill Nolan, Greg Goode, Dave McTaggart, Carol Ben- nett, Kathy Galbert on success- fully completing the "Grass- roots Coaching Clinic." We're such that our young ball players will benefit from your coachin interest. The association woul also like to thank coaches W. Venning, P. Versage, G. Jones and D. Ashton for giving up their time to help improve the calibre of our association. Port Perry Minor Softball would also like to congratulate the organization coaches who h «ve been successful in achiev- ing their National Coaches Cer- tification Program Certificates for "Level One" in Theory, Tech- nical, as well as requirement for "Level One" and "Level Two" Practical Certification. These are Ron Redman, Wayne Ven- ning and Bob Vander Slagt (Juvenile Merchant rep team): [rave Dalton, Pat Versage and Dennis Ashton (Pee Wee Mo- Jacks rep team); Ron Short (Bantam Merchant rep team): and Gord Jones (Squirt Canadi- an Legon rep team). Anyone interested in upgrad- ing their coaching qualifica- tions may contact Association President Allynne Jones (985- 9860) for additional informa- tion. Area trotter back on track Airies Canada, the outstand- ing young trotting horse who set two Canadian track records last year before a career threat- ening injury ended his season prematurely, is on the come- back trail. Now three years of age, Airies Canada won his qualifying race impressively in 2:02 Monday morning at Mohawk Raceway in Campbellville. "He did great," praised train- er and co-owner Murdo "Scotty" MacKenzie after the qualifier. "I was nervous and had butter- flies. (Driver) Scott (Farring- ton) said he had lots left at the end. He just let him do his own thing." Last September in the $111,063 Champlain Stakes at Mohawk, Airies Canada was comfortably leading the race when he suffered a fractured coffin bone in his left front foot. After a lengthy rest the son of Veeba Rova began the road to recovery with a combination of on-track exercise and swim ming. Before the setback the mag- nificent colt had been the talk of the freshman trotting class in the province, setting track records at Dresden Raceway and Greenwood in Toronto. In just eight starts he earned more than $120,000 and was later named The Ontario Jockey Club's Two Year Old Trotting Colt of 1993. By all accounts the early prognosis is encouraging for a successful return to the races. "We had him x-rayed last week and you can't see the inju- ry if you didn't know it was there," related MacKenzie who shares ownership on Airies Canada with Doug Healey of Port Perry and Clarence Patey and Max Pollard of Oshawa. Correction Last week's Port Perry Star incorrectly identified the partic- ipants of a 25-year anniversary at SkyDome. It should have read the Bal- lard Lumber Juvenile Fastball team. The Port Perry Star regrets the error.
