They struck twice late in a period, erasing a 3-1 defier to get rid of the gloom in the r dressing roost and turn thin s around. Shaun Anstctt was all re cd up and knew where o go, scori huge go on the powerplay 'n the n, the first staned the . ick and his second ended up the game winner. Jason Henderson then served up some icing with a cherry 011 top, two insurance goals in the last two minutes of the next period, including an empty- netter. The Scaforth juniors learned the hard way earlier last week how late goals are somehow bigger, and can stake you feel like you've been booted in lire' solar plexus. They were still feeling sick in the pit of their stomachs after the same thing happcucd to them at Exctcr Friday night and Lucan last Wednesday, where goals late in the game or periods finished them off. This was against the two teams the Cents will have to beat to get out of the Morenz Division and advance in the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D"evelopment League playoffs which get underway in a month. Some Cents were. starting to, think they were snake -bit, like maybe they aren't as really good ak they think they could The division -leading Hawks scored with one second left in the second period, in front of wet ore than 400 fans, to sform an entertaining, Cven- Steven 2-2 deadlock. The Cents weren't the Baine team after that knocked some stuffing out of them, allowing two goals in the first three minutes of the third, as the Hawks won it handily going away. WHEELS FALL OFF Two nights before at Lucan it was even worse, like the Don- ncllys had .come back or "Fre- ddie's Last Nightwarc", against the perennially - powerful Irish who Scaforth renrains neck - and -neck with in the standings, both teams now with 39 points and seven games to go. The long-time bitter foes arc both big on finishing second and grabbing home ice advantage for the first round of the playoffs, where odds arc they will soon meet again. Seaford) was humming along with a 4-1 lead until 3:30 of the third period against the Irish. Then things fell apart, and it only got worse, as Mike Robb swtxtpcd across the bluclinc and buried his third goal of the game, an errant clearing at- tempt, on which Scaforth's point man was also seriously taken to • the cleaners, with a scant 31 seconds left to steal the two points, Scaforth once thought "in the bag". Losses like this seetnharder to take and make the troops feel so low all the, speeches in the world don't help. The Cen- tenaires have also lost four times in overtime this season, a fact -none need remind them of. be. Two minor teams impress at tourneys Two Scaforth minor teams in two sports beat the •January "blah's" by winning big, out- of-town tournaments on the Weekend. Seaforth's bant:uns impressed • their American hosts, sweeping to four wins and winning a round-robin hockey tournament with "AA" teams at Far- mington Hills in Michigan on the wcckcnd. Meanwhile, down the Huron Road in the big city of Strat- ford, Ericka Burns went on a will scoring frenzy for Scaforth's belles, who reversed the score against the ;ame team that beat them during the tour- nament, for a 7-5 vii tory and all the'marbles in their division at the annual Stratford Jackie Miles Memorial Ringettc Toµr. nautent. Burns, from Clinton, scored five goals in the final, to go with the four red lights she lit up in the three earlier tournament games. The local bantams, who arc ' classed as "CC" in the Ontario minor hockey system, also played a 1-1 exhibition tic at the tournament with an•"AAA" team from Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Jared Carnochan set up Jason Tunney for the Scaforth goal. Tournament organizers expressed surprise and said Seaforth's performance shocked the speedy "triple A" squad. Scaforth goalie Scan Ludwig was a grinch, allowing a meas- ly two goals in five games, so was named the tournament's most valuable player. Ile and his mates shut out Redford, Michigan 6-0 in the -championship gatnc, with Jason Hulley and Scott VanDooren each scoring two goals. "Don't let the score fool you," coach Jason Papple says. "These guys had to work hard for every goal in every game. We may have played our best hockey all year this wcckcnd." Scaforth must be a good spot for goalies, as Jane Crowley of the Scat:orth. belles was also named 'most valuable at thc • Stratford ringette tournament. Scaforth doubled Stratford 8- 4 and nipped Woolwich' 4-3 before losing to Hamilton 7-5 in the games that led up to their championship. Get details of all these games, plus the Scaforth peewee's championship in the Legion hockey tournament the wcckcnd before (details were submitted past deadline last week) in this week's weekly SCOREBOARD. "Mac" opens scoring Dave McLlwain of Scaforth scored the first goal for the 'East all-stars. in their 7-3 win over the West in the Inter- national Hockey League's annual all-star game at Houston Saturday night. Dave also finished second to former teammate Sy,Ivian Turgcon, now with Houston' in the 1HL, in the fastest skater competition at the all-star game. Dave now plays for the Cleveland Lumberjacks and is one of the league's top for- wards. win in Wellesley Teams that go anywhere in the playolIs don't stake a habit of doing such things. They were getting seriously . lower, short-staffed trailing 3-1 late in the second period, in their third road game in five nights Saturday, against the McConnell Conference's best learn at Wellesley. NOT A(:AIN ? And all of a sudden the bout was on a Seaforth •foot, affirming once again what wonders a simple goal at the right time can work. Anstctt started it with his first at 17:22 of the second. Then Jelf Voltam] scored again less than two minutes later, with a scant 44 seconds lett in the period. It was a whole new ball game from then on, with things pepping right up; yelling and screaming on the lx•nch, dogs barking, "Saturday night in downtown. Wellesley", no cider but McDonald's alter the game. Anstctt got his second a ntiinitc into the third, thc defence held and forwards did their duty, then Jason Hender- son salted it away converting a pass from Voltam' with 1:39 left to go. • In the dying seconds he bagged another into an empty net, leading to othwr happy antics: All of a sudden, cattier in the week wasn't as important, as the team went rolling home. Brandon Corriveau had a couple of good games in the road trip. He scored the first two goals for the Cents at Lucan and also got Scaforth's first at. Exeter, but didn't play Saturday. Tian Barton also continues to impress with his never:say- never and keep -coining -at -you play. "Barney I 'scored the goal that temporarily tied it at 2-2 in Exeter. Jason Haytcr and 1lcndcrson got the other Cents' goals against the Irish. The Scaforth juniors host the Mitchell Hawks, who need all the points they can'get to keep the charging North Middlesex Stars at bay clinging to the fourth and final playoff spot by only two points after last weekend's play, in another Morenz.

Tiede Ile.rlai latir>rranl Sped.lht Hearing Loss - Our Nation's No. 1 Handicap Q. I hear a lot about other illnesses - cancer, heart disease, muscular dystrophy, etc. - but not much about hearing loss. Does that mean fewer people are having hearing problems? Is the number decreasing due to medical advances? A. Although most people don't know it, hearing loss is our nation's number one han- dicapping disability. Statis- tically, one in 10 - nearly 25 million in North America - suffer from impaired hearing. You probably don't hear as much about it because it is not a dramatic ailment. No one ever died from a hearing loss. But itis crippling. It can separate " its victims from friends, family, even jobs; it can take away the joy and pleasure of communicating with others. And the number of people who suffer from hearing disorders is almost .certainly increasing. This is due to several reasons. For one, doc- tors are saving more and more babies who have dif- ficult births or are bom prematurely: Some of these babies have defective hearing. Another factor is noise pol- lution. More of us are being exposed to extremely loud noise than ever before. This is a common cause of hearing damage. And then, of course, people are living longer and age is one of the biggest causes of hearing Loss. But there have been significant medical advances - progress in prevention, earlier diag- nosis, and improved treatment make today a much more fortunate time for the hearing- impaired person. Through modem medical techniques or the use of high-technology hearing aids, today most hearing problems can be helped. If you think you or someone you know may have impaired hearing, call The Hearing Care Centre, located at 7 Rattenbury Street East, Clinton, (519) 482-9024, today for your complete hearing as- sessment.
