The Citizen, 1994-02-09, Page 9Bulls’ Nate Bender
an overtime hero
Nate Bender was the hero
Sunday night scoring at 16:49 of
the second overtime period to give
the Brussels Bulls a 3-2 win over
the Walkerton Blackhawks. The
win evened the Western Junior C
best of three quarterfinal series at
one game each.
The Bulls jumped out to an early
2-0 lead. Greg McNevan scored a
power play goal to open the scoring
in the first period after the Bulls
moved the puck around sharply
with the man advantage. Pete
Mulder set up the second goal by
cleanly winning the draw back to
Tim Beyer, who hammered a low
slapshot past the Walkerton goalie.
The Bulls went to sleep,
however, for 25 seconds in the
second period and let the Hawks
back in the game. Chris Wilhelm
and Jamie Buckton scored just
seconds apart to even the score.
There was a scary moment for the
Bulls when Peter Ryter was sent
crashing into the boards head first.
He was taken from the ice on a
stretcher but was released from
hospital with only a stiff neck.
Ryter is a question mark for game
three.
Both teams had numerous
chances to win it in regulation but
Bulls' netminder Scott Walls, who
was celebrating a birthday and
Hawks' goalie Jon Biesanthal were
both outstanding. The first 10
minute sudden death overtime
period also provided a number of
good scoring chances but neither
team could end it.
After an intermission, the two
teams started a 20 minute overtime
period and the Bulls came out
flying. Some good forechecking
pressure forced a turnover that
Bender gobbled up along the right
wing boards. The second year
centre then cut to the middle and
fired a low shot through the pads of
Biesenthal and the celebration was
on.
Bulls' Coach Scott Pettigrew
said, "We made some adjustments
to our game plan in practice and
they paid off. We got the
goaltending from Wallsie we
needed and our veterans came
through with the big goals."
Friday night, the Bulls got off to
a quick start but self destructed in
the second period losing to
Walkerton 7-2. The Bulls opened
the scoring just 13 seconds after the
opening faceoff. Bender capped off
a nice three way passing play from
McNevan and Brian Zabel. The
Hawks evened it up a few minutes
later but Ryan Robins restored the

matching unemployed people to
available jobs. The employment
centres no longer match jobs and
clients.
Regular social workers have a
caseload of about 140 clients each
and don't have the time to provide
this kind of work, Mr. MacKinnon
said. Placing just 16 welfare recipi
ents in jobs would pay for the cost
of the program for a year, he said.
In Bruce County a similar project
placed 144 welfare recipients in
1992, Mr. MacKinnon said. The
proposal Huron sent to the province
for approval called for finding jobs
for 10 recipients a month. "If the
program is highly successful and
we go beyond 10, then it will
reduce the budget," he said.
Welfare recipients must volun

can't be forced to take part.
lead when he found the Walkerton
net. After outshooting the
Blackhawks 18 - 12, however the
Bulls found themselves going to he t
room trailing 3-2. A number of bad
penalties sunk the Bulls in the
second and despite some hard work
in the third the Bulls could not
mount a comeback. Veteran right
winger Zabel left the game in the
first period with a broken baby
finger after being slashed in the
hand. He missed Sunday's game
and is doubtful for Tuesday night.
Zabel is the third Bull to have a
broken bone from a slash.
"I was disappointed that after
playing with so much discipline all
season we would lose our cool like
we did," said Mr. Pettigrew. "I
hope we learned our lesson."
The third and deciding game of
the quarterfinal series will be
Tuesday night in Brussels at 8:30.
The winner will then wait to see

row a member of the Bulls has won
the award.
Snowmobilers focus on saving lives
Communities across the province
are rallying around Ontario's "Ride
Safe, Ride Sober" campaign in an
effort to save lives while promoting
snowmobile safety.
The province-wide effort to
reduce snowmobile accidents
significantly will expand during
Snowmobile Safety Week, Feb. 4-
13 across Canada. The campaign in
Ontario is spearheaded by the
Ontario Snowmobile Safety
Committee, which draws on the
resources from provincial
government ministries, agencies
and organizations, as well as
snowmobile manufacturers.
Many people from snowmobile
clubs and communities across the
province will get together to
promote safe snowmobiling at
special events during the week.
So far this winter, at least 20
people have died as the result of
snowmobile mishaps in Ontario.
All but one of those killed were
males, with alcohol, speed and thin
ice playing major roles in the
accidents. Forty-two people lost
their lives in snowmobile accidents
in Ontario last winter.
"Nineteen of the 20 people who
so tragically lost their lives did not
stick to the recognized snowmobile
trails," Ontario Minister of Culture,
Tourism and Recreation Anne
Swarbrick said. "They were either
travelling across uncleared property
or plunged through the ice on lakes
to their deaths. That’s why we can
never stop driving home the
message, Ride Safe, Ride Sober."

Playing at different levels
While a member of the Parr Line broomball team struggles to get to her feet and retain
control, a pair of Blyth Rebels move in. Parr Line had control much of the time shutting out the
Rebels for the win. The two teams met in tournament action in Clinton.
The messages contained in the
campaign slogan are very clear. If
you are planning to head out on
your snowmobile, don't drink.
When you operate a snowmobile,
pay attention, don't speed, stick to
groomed trails, avoid travelling on
lakes if at all possible, follow the
rules of the trail, carry an
emergency kit and at all times wear
reflective clothing and a helmet
approved by the Canadian
Standards Association (CSA) or the
Department of Transportation.
These safety tips, if followed by
everyone, would go a long way
toward reducing the number of
snowmobile accidents dramatically.
Toronto Maple Leafs captain
Wendel Clark, a- campaign
spokesperson, says he's glad to see
community groups and snowmobile
clubs are getting more involved this
year.
"More and more people are
talking about snowmobile safety,"
Mr. Clark said. "Following simple
safety precautions should become a
habit. If you forget about safety for
a mere instant, tragedy could strike.
Stay sober, don't speed, follow the
rules of the trail and make sure
your snowmobile is functioning
properly before heading out. That's
all it takes to ensure your safety
and the safety of others."
The Ontario Snowmobile Safety
Committee is spending a total of
$250,000 on the campaign during
the 1993-94 snowmobiling season,
up from $125,000 the year before.
The campaign is being bolstered by
numerous volunteers from all
regions across the province.
Members on the committee
include the Ministries of Culture,
Tourism and Recreation,
Transportation, Natural Resources,
Northern Development and Mines,
Attorney-General; Solicitor
General; Federation of Ontario
