Buds tops
in bowling
The weather must have been
rotten outside on Nov. 24 as a
couple of skunks ventured inside
at the Starlight Lanes. They left
quite a foul stench on the
Wannabees and the Falling Pins.
They didn't get anywhere close
to Murray Bennewies. He led
off his second game with nine
strikes in a row.
The Buds jumped into the lead
by giving the Falling Pins a
great big goose -egg. Top bow-
lers for the Buds were John
Coleman 214,247,232-693 and
Gary Bedard 256-601. The
Falling Pins got good games
from Doug Procter 201,202;
Ralph Johnston 200 and spare
Brian Dale 226.
The second match -up saw
Murray's Marauders get four
points and the Wolverines 3
points. Leading the way for the
Marauders were Murray
Bennewies 408,270-858; Deb
Bedard 196-516; Erich Matzold
272-606 and Todd Doig 212.
Mike Thomson's 242,297,201-
740; Don Brown's 262,236-641
and Connie Trotter's 191 helped
out the Wolverines.
The Boozin' Brewers swept
the Wannabees on lanes 5 and 6
to take the Wannabees out of
first place. Bowling great games
for the Brewers were Doug
Leonhardt 280,281,309-870;
Trevor Price 202; Nancy Sue
Thomson 197-517; Sharri
MacDonald 196-514; Heather
Alce 163 and Bob Wright
204,203,206-613. High scorers
for the Wannabees were Steve
Steep 293-666 and Pat Ryan
194.

40; Wannabees. - 36; Boozin
Brewers - 33; Murray's

CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR SNOWMOBILERS
(c 1994 by Craig Nicholson All rights reserved )
illaving trouble getting that perfect gift for
the snowmobilers on your Christmas
shopping list? Or maybe you're a
snowmobiler wishing for something other
than another pair of socks from Aunt Bertha.
Readers often ask me, so I'm leading off a new
season of columns with some cool, affordable
presents from my recommended products file.
Survival Guide: John Milne's "Getting Back, a
trailwise guide to snowmobile survival" packs 138
pages with how to prepare for and handle trail
emergencies from breakdowns to being stuck and
from injury to being lost. Written by a snowmobiler for
snowmobilers, this book is the only one of its kind
and is a must read for touring riders. It's also peace
of mind for those waiting at home. By mail order only
- $11.95 plus taxes & shipping- Msa & MC). Call
705/739-7669 or fax 705/739-5005.
OLARIS,`
Trailer Lock: Perhaps security is the best gift for
travelling snowmobilers. "Armed Guard" is a lockable
wheel boot that clamps onto a tire rim to immobilize
the trailer. With sled thievery rampant, this bolt -cutter
proof device, complete with custom lock in a tamper-
proof chamber, is not only the ultimate trailer lock, to
my knowledge it's the only ono available in Canada.
Ideal for use in all seasons, it even boasts a warning
reminder to stick on your trailer hitch so you won't
forget to unlock before trying to drive off. By mail
order only - $69.95 plus shipping and taxes. Call
204/632-1591 or fax 204/632-1578. Dealer inquiries
welcome.
Sled Lock: Now that the trailer's secure, consider a
sled anti -theft device. The E -Z Traxx Lock slips
through the track and locks in a protected housing
that deters would-be thieves. Comes with a handy
carrying case that attaches to the side of the
snowmobile. $49.95 at many local dealers and
snowmobile accessory outlets.

Back -Saver: What good is a snowmobiler with a
hum back? There are many sled lifting devices
on the market, but the best one I've found
comes from P.E.I. It's light, stable, fits most
sleds and requires so little effort that it can be
used easily by women and children. Called
"Sled Jack", the stand has a long arm that
levers the sled off the ground, pins into place
and then folds back on itself for easy storage.
$75 by calling Porta -Flex Products at 902/ 566-4144.
Dealer inquiries welcome.
Ice Spikes: Drowning is the leading cause of
snowmobile fatalities. Many riders crash through the
ice and can't get out. But with IcEscape around your
neck, you have a pair of ice picks handy to help you
get a grip on the ice surface and pull yourself to
safety. $24.95 at local dealers and snowmobile
accessory outlets.
Hand Warmers: I often complained of frozen fingers
until I tried the unique, two-stage mitts called
"Haliburton". Each full leather outer has a removable
inner, insulating liner - the same principle used in
boots - that traps warm air to keep your hands toasty.
Overnight, separated components dry thoroughly.
$64.95 from local Ski Doo dealers.
Just For Fun: Last year's OFSC permit holders will
have received the world's first snowmobiling
calendar in the mail. What better way to turn on
friends and relatives to your sport than by giving this
beautiful, full colour 1995 stocking stuffer? $9.95 plus
taxes and shipping by mail order from 705/739-7669
or fax 705/739-5005.
Accessories Galore: For last minute ideas,
snowmobile manufacturers have an extensive
catalogue of clothing and accessories to brighten up
snowmobilers' lives. But know the brand of their
sleds as owners get downright cranky receiving
competitor's colours by mistake. If you don't know
their actual model, safe gift bets are map cases,
handle bar bags; thumb and hand warmers; first
aid/emergency kits; saddle bags and logo'd sweats.
Hedge your bet by checking your local dealer's
exchange policy in advance.
That's a quick round -up of neat gear and gadgets
that should impress the most discriminating
snowmobiler with your gift -buying acumen. If you are
that discriminating snowmobiler and hope to find
anything from this list under your Christmas Tree,
time's a -wasting. I suggest a subtle approach such
as cutting out this column, circling your choice and
pasting it on the forehead of your blessed giver. After
all, Old Man Winter is already breathing down our
necks.
Until the next time, happy trails and remember. Sled
Smart - Ride Safe, Ride Sober. For information on
local snowmobiling, Snowaramas and clubs, contact
