Miss Barbie
helps Winthrop
beat Socialites
BROOMBALL
February 1, 1995
SOCIALITES 0 - WINTHROP 3
Socialites, I'm sure were resting
from the big fiesta last weekend as
they fed many broomballers from
the Seaforth Broomball Tourney
which was a big success. For
Winthrop Miss Barbie gobbled up a
couple of goals and a single by
Tammy Nash, great passing from
Hilda Young and Diane Anderson.
I think the Socialites were waiting
for someone to place an order for a
goal not expecting Winthrop Ladies
to just score on their own. Great
game anyways ladies.
PARR LINE 8 - PERTH 2
Parr Lines pick up goalies were a
little nervous at first but they
picked up the goal tending nack
pretty quickly as a couple of goals
were scored against them. They
were brave ladies to move into
there new position for a few sec-
onds. Parr Lines' goals were scored
by Sandi Skinner, Bonnie O'Rielly, '
Cheryl Kruse, Cathy Innes, Heidi
Elliott and by (Glenda) (Oh! know
how did that go in says the real
goal scorer Sue Van Miltenburg.
Lots of quick passes by Sandra
Wilson and Norah Eckert. Perth
Ladies were ecstatic as goals were
score) by Mandy HatLaks and
quick draw Kim Finlayson with
little assistance from Heather
McMillan.
PARR LINE 2 - WINTHROP 2
Quite a game by both teams as
they were definitely, 18 times as
many penalties as there were goals.
Winthrop's two goals were scored
by Bruce Pearn and Scott
Leonhardt, a little help came from
Steve Knight, Joe Ryan and Dan
McNichol. Parr Line's two goals
were scored by Mark Ryan and
Dennis Dolmage with lots of passes
by Kevin Van Den Ncucker and
Verne Thomspon. Great game its
the penalties that were outrageous.
In Broomball on Feb. 8, 1995 at
9 p.m. - Parr Line vs Perth; 9:50
p.m. - Dumpers vs Parr Line; 10:40
Winthrop vs Socialites.
BROOMBALL
Feb. 2, 1995
DUMPERS 7 - EASY RIDERS 2
Dumpers double up goals were
scored by Gary Dill, Dill Dale, and
Jerry Wright with a single to
Dennis Murray, plenty of passing
from John Cairns, Don Henderson,
Dale Kennedy, Ron Pryce (Mr.
Stitch) and Frank Verberne who
definitely had a problem under-
standing the referees call on him for
two minutes for swearing, like what
code is it under - what section in
the book or what page is it on, oh!
well the refs decision was final.
The Riders picked up the pace in
the second half to capture a couple
of goals scored by Slim Jim Butson
and flip the coin to slim Darrel
Eckert, quick passes by Ed Van
Miltenburg, Chris Poland and Law-
rence Vink.
KNIGHTS 2 - GRADS 3
Wow! the Knights take the lead
as goals were scored by speedy Jeff
Campbell aid quick Jim Nyenhuis.
They thank Bill Ryan and Larry
Baer for their direct passes. Look
out the Grads step on the Knights
toes as three quick goals were
scored by Mac O'Niell, Jerry
Burtch and Tony Van Den Huevel.
What passes from Martin and Al
Wynja and Mike Van Den Huevel.
Hey! what a break no penalties this
game. This game was great by both
teams.
RAIDERS 1 - RED RUSTLERS 3
Rustlers are on top of this game
as goals were scored by quiet Art
Vicenstra and slim Jeff Burroughs.
In the background helping were
Dave Vanneste and Rick Elliott.
The Raiders score the first goal but
unfortunally the Raiders goal scorer
Dave Kramers is a loner for goal
scoring, great passing by Adrian
Brasher and Derek MacDonald. The
penalties seem to hurt both teams.
In broomball on Feb. 9 at 9 p.m.
- Knights vs Winthrop; 9:50 p.m.
Raiders vs Easy Riders; and at
10:40 p.m. - Royals vs Grads.

Believe It.
113 uddies say "Let's go snowmobiling!" and the
last you see of them is tail lights. Or maybe
you play catch up, but lose them at an
intersection. Or you're riding for hours with
legs crossed and no idea if anyone's ever gonna stop.
Sound familiar? Nothing's more likely to sour folks on
snowmobiling than trail uncertainty, fear or
marathons. So why not use a little common sense to
make it more enjoyable? In this column and next I'll
discuss trail riding tips. See what works for you.
Tour leaders have big responsibilities. Leadership
combines learned skill and natural aptitude. It
shouldn't be automatically bestowed on the hottest
sleds or biggest heads. Experience, trail knowledge,
navigation skills, directional sense, innate caution and
complex perception ability are key.
Riding point also involves risk. Leaders encounters
potential dangers such as oncoming traffic, trail
blockages or unexpected corners first and often
without warning. it's a balancing act of self-
preservation and duty of care to those behind. Not
everyone can or wants to lead. Make sure your leader
can handle the job before leaving home. If others are
available and willing, sometimes it's better to alternate
leaders on tour to share the strain of concentration
and responsibility.
Leaders should get you there and back safely and
enjoyably. Should find the way; avoid and warn of
dangers ahead; keep the group together and happy;
and adapt riding pace and style to the capabilities and
desires of the group. For instance, family riding
should be different from a novice excursion or the
guys on tour.

TRAIL RiDING TIPS #1
(c 1994 by Craig Nicholson All rights reserved )
A leader needs basic facts about the group before
starting: sled count; riding experience and
expectations; that everyone is suitably equipped and
gassed. What sled has the least tank capacity?
Where are the gas stops ahead? When do people
want to return? Who wants to stop for coffee?
Lunch? How long a ride? How long between
stops?
Rides are spoiled when these questions aren't
upfront. It's particularly important with novices,
children, large groups or strangers. Smokers
want to stop more frequently. Women require
trailslde facilities. Kids get restless.
Photographers want scenery stops. These
riders will inevitably stop on their own If the
leader doesn't accommodate them. The result
can be frustration, discontinuity and uncertainty as
snowmobilers string out along miles of trail playing the

catch up or waiting games.
Pre -tour briefing also answers rider questions,
promotes cooperation and assuages fears. People
want to know if they'll be crossing lakes or that rail
lines are really abandoned. Or where the deer are
and what kind of trails to expect. For instance,,if the
first hour will be on open terrain, abandoned rail lines
or lakes, advise riders -so they can combat wind chill
.with balaclavas and masks that they might not
otherwise wear.
Reviewing hand signals and safety procedures is
essential. Everyone should know that "STOP" is an
erect arm raised straight up from the shoulder, not to
be confused by some sloppy half -gesture, turn signal
or random helmet adjustment. Agree on "warning"
and "slow down" signals and use the same gestures
constantly. Establish that each rider is responsible for
the rider behind and that there's no proceeding until
that sled is in sight. Confirm the riding order to
familiarize riders with their front and rear companions.
This also helps the leader keep track of sleds.
The leader should ask everyone to carry a map and
be familiar with their location and destination. Quick
pitstop updates may mean no one getting lost later.
I'm always amazed that snowmobilers will "follow the
leader" for days without ever knowing where they are
or learning the trails for themselves. If our pioneer
ancestors had used this method of settlement, most
would never have been heard from again.
A good leader will not take off before the group is
ready to leave. Familiar scene leader shoots down
trail with no backward glance while group scrambles
for gear and to start reluctant sled. Leader half way to
Timbuctoo with no parade. Rear view mirrors should
be a leadership pre -requisite. Or Linda Blair/Exorcist
necks.
Leaders shouldn't be afraid to ask for advice,
directions or admit they're lost, two heads are better
than one. But for reasons of leader pride,
inexperience or oversight, tours go astray. It's always
better for group morale to be sure, to include riders in
decisions and to talk to locals wherever possible.
Obviously there's more to trail riding than many
snowmobilers appreciate. Next time, I'll continue this
discussion and note other rider responsibilities. Until
then. happy trails and remember: Sled Smart - Ride
Safe, Ride Sober. For information on local
