20- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, February 20, 1996 "Scugog"s Community Newspaper of Choice" KELLY LOWN/PORT PERRY STAR The Native Perspectives bonspiel was held on Valentine's Day at the local curling club. Pictured are the winning team. From left are: Valerie Larocca, sponsor, Vicky Watson, Patti Goreski, Gale Ballard, Sandy Greenwood, Don- na Fairman and Louise Pilkey. SPORTS Minor Ball registration It's that time of year again and with the ball season fast approaching it's time to register for the upcoming soft- ball season. Registrations will be held at the arena on Saturday and Sunday, March 9 to 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The cost will be the same as it has been over the past two seasons and will also in- clude the annual fundraiser fee. This year the association is trying some- thing different by making available the registration forms to the schools over the course of the week of Feb. 19. (see ad elsewhere in this edition). At this time the association will also take down registrations for coaches and umpires. At the moment there are only a few of the coaches currently regis- tered and we have a need at the rep team levels in both Mite and Squirt for someone to take on those teams. These individuals would require their Level I of the NCCP program a well. The association was saddened as a whole this past week with the passing of a tireless worker and dedicated indi- vidual in Mrs. Carolyn Best. Carolyn provided an example to this association of what those qualities could do in the years she served as president and a di- rector with us. She brought about a number of changes in the direction of softball within this community and the surrounding area and was a driving force to see completion of the new ball diamonds to the north of the arena. With her expertise of the game itself and its many rules Carolyn was called on in numerous occasions by the cur- rent staff over the past couple of years to help out. | Our deepest sympathies go out to Bob, Jason, and Jennifer and we would like to let them know that our thoughts are with them at this time. The association also ran a benefit |: dance this past Saturday evening at the new community centre for one of our cherished sponsors Thom Doran, and although the crowd was smaller than was hoped for, those in attendance had a good time. A lot of time and effort went into this event and a heartfelt thanks goes out to the committee that put it together and did the leg work on thatevening. Also the association would like to thank all the local individuals and busi- nesses who provided a little extra some- thingin the form of raffle or door prizes.

We can't seem to come out of here with a win. It's frustrat- ing." Bulk of the goals scored on this night were of the power play variety as both teams were guilty of fool- ish penalties. Tim Teel collected a pair of goals for the Merchants with singles from Jeff Dar- rach, Corby Purdy, Brad Cann and Wes Gonder. Steve Barkwell fired Port Perry's first two goals. Linemate Keith Leslie, Corey Bricknell and Ryan Ridgway round- ed out the scoring - a game which forced Carnegie to make lineup changes at the outset when goalie Paul Roberts and forward Mike Pigeau were strick- en with the flu. Indeed, Roberts played while ill in the first game and despite taking the warmups in Little Britain, he was in no shape to as- sume such a responsible role. The task belonged to seasoned Rick Hutchin- son, who understandably looked shaky on a few shots, based on his inactiv- ity. Merchants had a three- goal advantage on two oc- casions. But the ModJacks were full value of a come- back, highlighted by two goals in a 10-second span early in the third period which tied the score at 5-5. Purdy, pouncingon a re- bound from Hutchinson's initial stop, notched what turned out to be the game winner with 10:17 left to be played. ModJacks did everything 1s moving to a new location. 1589 King Street, Prince Albert as of March 1st, 1996 Bl FREE ESTIMATES IN Bll Collision ~ Repair & Refinish Ill Bl Licenced Technicians lll Bll All Work Warranteed in writing Ill 985-1991 y * BATHROOMS * REC ROOMS Frere mmm mm--------T IMPROVE YOUR NEST Call the Specialists Jim Hood 728-6291 Serving Durban over 35 Years Millbuilt Home Renovations A Division of Millwork Home Centre ~» KITCHENS KITCHEN COUNTERTOPS "No Job Too Small" 1279 Simcoe St. N., Oshawa 728-6291 . Re -----] ee ee ee er 20 om 2 deemed possible to notch the equalizer with Hutch- inson on the bench for the extra attacker. Mark Cairns, getting his second straight start, shut Port Perry's offence down in the dying minutes. While noting Little Brit- ain's improved play on its home ice, Carnegie was quick to produce another aspect of the arena he found challenging. "The rink's not condu- cive to team play because of the dressing room facili- ties," he says. "There are two dressing rooms re- quired for the visiting team and at this point, we're trying to keep the team knitted together. And that's tough here." Neither club scored dur- ing the first 20 minutes in Port Perry, although the ModJacks were able to take a 3-2 edge into the final stanza. Matt Pyke, Scott Heas- man, Barkwell, Todd Den- nis and Todd Stirling tal- lied for the Modacks. Craig McGill and Gonder responded for the Mer- chants. The series continues with three games in five nights, beginning Wednesday evening at Scugog Arena, starting at 8 p.m. Fourth game is Sat- urday night in Little Brit- ain with the titth back in Port Perry Sunday night with a7 p.m. start. WALLY WORLD - The hardware came out in the first two games convened by league commissioner Andy McLaughlin. Paul Roberts and Rick Hutchin- son were recipients of the Barb DonRon Smith Tro- phy for the best goaltend- ing average during the regular schedule. Roberts also received the Percy Macklin Memorial Trophy as the rookie of the year. Keith Leslie, officially crowned the scoring cham- pion, accepted the Eleanor Gilliam Memorial Trophy. Meanwhile, McLaughlin says there has been no offi- cial interest expressed by other communities to come into the league, de- spite one apparently by the Bowmanville Eagles. Eagles, competing on a TierIlevel, still hold a pat- ent on their name on a Junior C level and word has it they'd like nothing better than to set up a feeder system in Newcas- tle Village. Scott Heas- man was shaken up and needed help off the ice fol- lowing a collision late in Sunday's encounter. Prior to the game, Merchants' Chad Desjardins received the Erve Downey Memori- al Trophy as the league's most valuable player. Tweens come up short Early last Sunday morning the Port Perry Guardian Tween "C" girls were up and off to Ajax for 'a rematch with a team they had defeated a week earlier. This was to be a different game than pre- viusly as the Ajax girls came out aggressive and put the pressure on Port earlier. One and a half minutes into the game, the hosts scored and four minutes later tallied an- other. At the end of the first, Ajax led 2-0. In the second, Port ral- lied their attack and had several scoring opportu- nites but seemed only able to hit the goalie instead of the open net. Alaina sty- mied the Ajax attack to keep the game close. With 1:39 left, Shannon broke free of their defense and made a nice deke to make it a one goal game, assists to Alaina B. and Heather. Our girls tried hard to tie it up and ended up receiv- ing a penalty with 46 sec- onds left. With a free pass at centre and Port short handed, it was an ideal time to pull the goalie for the extra attacker but it never happened. They tried hard and deserved the tie but ended up alittle short. The season is quickly winding down, the playoffs and regionals are Just around the corner. I'm sure with their continued improvement that this team will be a very good representative for Port Perry in the Tween "C" di- vision.
