"Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" PORT PERRY STAR - Wednesday, July 4, 2001 - 2 editorial@portperrystar.com wn ports 905-985-7383 Womens' soccer squad posts an impressive 6-2 victory Dana's ladies hang on to defeat Ajax Dana's Goldsmithing ladies soccer team travelled to Ajax on June 20 for a game against Ajax United. This was an excellent game by both teams featuring outstanding goal keeping by Kelly Sadler for Dana's. The game was fast paced with many scoring chances by both teams being turned away by the keepers. The defence showed their skills at recovering the ball and advancing the play down the field with some well placed kicks by Keri Semenko,« Linda Pearce, Nicole Vandergaast and Katie Callery. The half backs and forwards worked very hard at moving the play and at the end of the first half the score was 0-0. The second half saw much of the same play that the ladies had shown in the first half. It looked like the game would end on a scoreless draw, but Ajax caught a break and scored at 89:55 mark and would take the win 1-0. Dana's returned to their home field on June 27 for a game dgainst Pickering. After losing their first of the sea- son to Ajax last week the ladies were not about to have another loss. They worked hard and moved the ball for- ward with confidence even though it was extremely hot. Roni Sue Dodd scored to make it 1-0 followed short- ly by a Pickering goal to tie the score at I-1. The ladies took the ball on the kick off and controlled play until Elizabeth Russell managed the break in and score to put Dana's ahead by 2-1. Pickering woiked hard and tied the score 2-2 at half time. Both Pickering's goals were by Melanie Berger. In the second half the Goldsmithers controlled the play and Joslyn Dicks scored a left footer to put her team ahead for good. Dana's play for the win and soon Emily Cosway had scored two goals followed by Roni Sue Dodd with her second goal of the game. Final score was 6-2 which brings the team record for the season to 3-1- I. Keep up the good work ladies. Next home game is July 4 at 7 p.m. against Uxbridge.

The games are played by teams of five riders and five ponies, four of which partic- ipate in each game. All of the games are variations on the relay race, and all are great fun for players and spec- tators alike. Many of the games require the riders and ponies to run a slalom course around a series of poles from one end of the playing field to the other, where they hand- off something to the next rider on their team. In some races, riders have to vault off of and onto their ponies. The Regional A and B level win- ners go on to play for the Central Zone Championship against teams from the Western Ontario and Saint Lawrence-Ottawa Valley (this year's host). The two top Central Zone A level teams then play against repre- sentatives of all other zones for the National Championship, with Central Ontario hosting the event in late September, at a location to be announced later. There is also a National Masters Championship, which will be hosted by the BC Lower Mainland Region in August. : beds. It's part of National Fishing Week, from July 1 to 8 Family Fishing Weekend is up next For one full weekend, forget your worries, pressures of the job and hectic schedule. Heck, you can even forget you need a licence as you head out for the eighth annual Ontario Family Fishing Weekend July 6 to 8. Bigger and better than ever, Ontario Family Fishing Weekend (O.FFW.) has joined forces with National Fishing Week July | to 8 as part of an exciting week long cele- bration of angling as a great national pastime and a way to bring families and friends together. Over 50 events are scheduled -across Ontario to celebrate O.FFW. clinics, seminars, fishing derbies, interpretive studies, draws, contests, prizes and so much more are offered during the event that has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. Events are held at provincial parks, marinas, conservation authorities, bait and tackle retailers, cottage resorts, fishing lodges and at many fish and-game clubs. Angling is a multi billion dollar industry in Ontario. Over two million people will go fishing at least once this year and Ontario Family Fishing Weekend is an excellent means for people to discover or rediscover the joys of angling. The Ontario Family Fishing Weekend will boost its profile by teaming up with National Fishing Week. Spokesperson for the O.FFW. steering committee, Mike Reader, executive director of The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, welcomes the opportunity to enhance the visibility of the event. "For a number of years, the O.FFW. committee, which represents a group of outdoor organizations, has had considerable success in promoting the evgnt. The partnership between these two great, events will result in even more public interest and par- ticipation in Ontario," said Reader. Anglers who fish without a licence must abide by limits set by the province's Resident Conservation Licence. All other fees and regulations apply during the weekend.

Hockley, a Kawartha Lakes fishing guide and tournament angler : The trout opener is exciting. Walleye gets us back in the office on the lake and musky assures that our tick-" ers are still in good working order. For a lot of us. though, life as we know it stands still for the bass open- er. The dreams of flat water and a magic patch of lily pads tucked in: the. back 'of a misty bay. are about to: become reality again. This weekend the grass. wonit be cut, the garage can stay a mess and even, the barbecue will come second. 'At this time of year, familiarity with a lake canbe crue cial and rewarding especially when the only experience. you will have upto this point is any prevjous outing on 'the lake," 'Opening day finds you with'ydur usual gear, a 'few new additions; anda 'wealth. of knowledge iny 0 favour. 'Hopefully, that critical information' include: growth stage and. the whereabouts of fresh. new wee 'So' where do: you start to fish? Most of us dont have time to spend countless, fishless hours on the: week-' end. You have a few choices. You can fish all the same' spots as every other angler on the lake; you could fish: large areas that would be' impossible for even ten boats to cover effectively 'or you' can fish- areas' that 'most. anglers won't bother éven getting themselves into. My, money and time would be spent on the last choice: 4 The biggest key is the knowledge of: water levels. There are never any rules written in stone, but at this. time of year fish will hold and feed aggressively in shal: low back bays or inlets that: will be dry in less than a month's time. Pads, coontail or.cattails . .. it doesn't matter. These' are isolated spots that if fished properly can yield' a boat load of hefty bass in no time. Approach these spots carefully. The fish could liter- ally be anywhere. Start fishing the outskirts of the area by fan casting spinnerbaits and jerkbaits to start. Don't "rule out top water baits either as they are a lot of fun and productive as well. As you work your way further into the inlet it is likely weeds will begin to foul your previous baits, It is time to switch to a more vertical presentation. A quiet approach is critical. Simply pull up your electric motor and use your Soft Touch push pole'in this area. Flipping jigs, rubber worms and tubes come into their own here; Don't put the top water bait away yet, either. This is:| where it will become your most valuable tool. Continue casting a weedless top water bait over the weeds and any open pockets. New this year is a float- ing worm that pops like the original Hula Popper. (look for these at JD's Fishing and Archery). You can covera large area and will get a number of fish this way but a good number of fish will miss your bait in this thick slop. Not only is this an exciting way to fish but when the brutes miss your bait they create an opening at the exact spot they hit. Make a quick accurate cast past this hole and drag it slowly into the opening. Hold on!! Don't limit yourself to this technique only during the morning and the evening. This one will produce fish all day long. Good luck this weekend and boat safely. See you on the water! Trout season is upon us aa WI mg A pp ry Spy
