This phrase certainly applies to the current NHL playoffs and recent events have two team owners eating their words and prove that two games does not a series make. The owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins said he was thoroughly ashamed of his team when they lost the first two games to the champion New York Islanders and of- fered refunds to fans for the third game. Thankfully, most fans had better sense and only 200 asked for their money back. The Penguins responded with two straight wins. They will probably lose in the final game, but, have proven nothing can be taken for granted. Los Angeles Kings owner Jerry Buss is in the same boat. He left the arena after the second period Satur- day night when his club trailed Edmonton 5-0. What Buss didn't know was that his players had more confidence than he and went on to win 6-5 in overtime. The two upsets which sent the Minnesota North Stars and Winnipeg Jets to the sidelines are good news for Team Canada. At this point we haven't heard who have been add- ed to Team Canada, but, would guess Dale Howerchuck, Bobby Smith and Dino Ciccarelli would be sent overseas. Camping time soon A recent release from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources tells us that most provincial parks in Ontario are now in operation or will be opening soon. In this immediate area, the Pinery Park opened on April 1 and will continue until November 30 for camp- ing and until March 31, 1983 for day use. The open dates for Camp Ipperwash are different and somewhat more limited. It's gates will open May 14 and close again on September 6. This is for both cam- ping and day use. There has been a slight increase in the fee schedule for provincial parks this summer. The daily vehicle per- mit goes up 50 cents to $2.50 and the annual vehicle per- mit will now cost $25. That's an increase of a full'five dollars. The only other increases are 50 cents each in the rates for a campsite per night with hydro up to $8 and the campsite without hydro increased to $6.50. One other change for 1982 is that Ontario senior citizens will be required to pay the full camping rates on Fridays and Saturdays. This applies from June 18 to September 6 only. On other days and during other times of the camp- . . ng season, senior citizens may continue to enjoy free camping privileges. In addition seniors will still be en- titled to free day use of any provincial park at any time. According to Information Services co-ordinator Daryl Smith campers will again this year be able to reserve a select number of campsites in all provincial parks which offer camping. This service has really caught on with people planning a camping holiday and it is expected to be even more popular in 1982. Campsite reservation forms and information booklets are available from any Ontario Travel Centre or from a Ministry of Natural Resources office. There is a $2 registration fee over and above the regular cam- ping fee. There are two free Ministry publications which are useful to anyone contemplating a visit to any of On- , \tario's 131 provincial parks. They are: Ontario Provincial Parks - Yours to Discover, a 40 page colour brochure which describes the provincial park system in detail and Ontario Provincial Parks - Reservations and Rates 1982, a leaflet listing operating dates and other pertinent information for the 1982 season. Fishing, too A lot of fishermen in the area are getting a little im- patient with the recent cold weather. The trout season opens Saturday, April 24 this year and bass can be caught legally beginning June 26. Hopefully smelt and suckers will be running within the next week or two. Licences are necessary for seine nets for smelt. The cost is $1.25. The same applies for dip nets used for coarse fish including suckers. In this area dip nets may be used for suckers bet- ween sunrise and sunset until the end of April. This ap- plies to the Huron County parts of the Ausable River system. Spears may be used for catching suckers in the county of Perth until the end of May again during daylight hours. Ontario has more lakes and streams than any com- parable jurisdiction in the world with more than 250,000 lakes, unknown miles of rivers and streams and 34,000 square miles of Great Lakes. More than 140 species of fish can be found in these waters. Fishing in Ontario is enjoyed annually by about three million residents and 700,000 non-residents. It pro- vides millions of dollars to local economies and creates tens of thousands of jobs. Could be tonight If there is a lot of noise around the village of Lucan around midnight tonight, Wednesday, don't be surpris- ed. It could be the Lucan Irish celebrating their first ever Ontario Junior "D" championship. The Irish lead the Langton Thunderbirds three games to one in the best -of -seven final and could wrap it up with a win tonight. Winning away games has been old hat for the Irish this year so far. They had great success in winning in Tavistock, Mitchell and Stayner and have also won both games played so far in the final series in Langton. Good luck to Bob Taylor, Dave Revington and all the Irish as they attempt to make a little noise when they get back home tonight. Failing that how about a big celebration on home ice, Friday night? 1 f ti Irish one The Lucan Irish are within 60 minutes of winning the On- tario Hockey Association Junior "D" championship.
