Police called to
Zurich Arena to
stop fan fights
Things got a little out of hand on
Saturday at a hockey tournament
ZURICH - It was a very, very interesting bantam -midget hockey
tournament in Zurich on the weekend.
While winners were declared in the two divisions, it appears as
though all the action took place off of the ice.
At about 10:30 p.m. Saturday, the Ontario Provincial Police were
called to the Babe Siebert Memorial Arena in Zurich and in-
vestigated a complaint of a Zurich fan who reached into the playing
surface and punched a Thedford player.
Fans from both teams became involved and the Exeter OPP report
that charges are pending further investigation.
Also, on Sunday, referee officials had to be called to the arena to
monitor constant complaints by one of the coaches from Dorchester.
On the ice, Lucan beat Dorchester 3-2 to win the bantam 'A' title
in the six -team division while the 'B' was won by Stephen Town-
ship.
Stephen opened the tournament with a 2-0 win over Ilderton as
Ben Glavin had the shutout in net while John Rutten and Jeff Glover
scored.
While Andy Ellis scored the lone goal in a 4-1 los to Dorchester,
Stephen bounced back and beat Parkhill 7-3 to win the 'B' final. Rut -
ten and Ben McCann led the way with two tallies each with singles
from Christian Stuckless, Chris Reaburn and Ian Becker.
Rutten had a good tournament as he added a pair of assists in the
final while Stuckless, and Glover also set up two goals each.
In the midget 'A' final Ilderton beat Thedford 5-3. There were
three of the six teams all tied with a win and a loss each and Zurich
was the odd team out as they did not advance.
Zurich Thunder lost 5-3 to Lucan in overtime in their opener as
Allan Jeffrey, Jarrett Jeffrey and Richard Masse scored for Zurich
while Kris Hanlon and Kurt Hardy each had two for the winners
with the other from Mike Bowerman.
In their second game, Zurich beat Thedford 4-3 as Jarrett Jeffrey,
Brian Dcnomme, Greg Masse and Ray Beierling scored for Zurich.
Lucan lost 5-2 to Thedford as Hardy and Hanlon scored before
bowing 4-1 to Blyth in the 'B' final. Josh Appleman teamed with
Hanlon for the lone goal in the final.
The referee had to bring order between Parkhill's Ryan Ma-
guire, left; and Zurich's Jason Becker in the opening ban-
tam game Friday night at the Zurich tournament.
Arena to come alive this weekend

tario will be in Exeter this weekend for the fifth annual Bill Batten

and Exeter Legion won the Peewee 'B' in a 4-0 blanking over Lucan.

Season o
Ry Tom Purdy
Pinery Provincial Park
This is an article highlighting
the breeding season of white -tail
deer from the perspective of the
buck. At this time of the year deer
are just entering a period known
as the rut. This is a good time to
observe them.
The behaviour of white-tailed
deer is driven by the endless cy-
cle of the seasons. Breeding takes
place in the fall, and is a fascinat-
ing example one of nature's sea-
sonal strategics to ensure a
healthy, dynamic herd.
Early summer is the most social
time of year for deer, who by na-
ture are very unsociable animals.
Bucks or male deer often form
loose associations called "buck
groups" at this time of year. The
members of these groups are usu-
ally unrelated and may include a
few yearling does. Immature
bucks will give way to mature
males but there is little open con-
flict.
Mutual grooming may even
take place. These groups are rare-
ly observed by even the most ded-
icated naturalist. By early Sep-
tember, the does leave the puck
Ism=
e deer
groups. and the mating season or
"rut" begins in earnest.
M the hours of daylight short-
en, the physiology of the buck be-
gins to change. The soft skin
called "velvet" covering the ant-
lers dries up and begins to slough
off. To speed up the process, the
buck rubs the antlers against
shrubs and small trees. At the
same time, sap stains the antlers
their familiar brown colour. Now
when bucks encounter one an-
other, they may engage in a "spar-
ring" contest. The contestants
walk toward each other with a
stiff legged gait, touch antlers,
us on the buck
and engage in a pushing contest.
The purpose is to establish an order
of dominance from strongest to
weakest. Most sparring is done by
yearlings and two year olds who
arc unsure of their position.
By late October, the courtship
phase begins. Sparring declines and
hocks become v fry solitary. While
daylight or "photo period" trig-
gered the sparring stage, increases
in the hormone testosterone causes
changes in the buck during this
stage. The neck of the buck swells
and scent glands on the legs and
forehead become more active. A
buck will rub his antlers against a
small tree and remove the bark
from about 30 cm to 1 meter from
the base of the trunk. The glands on
the forehead leave a scent. Other
bucks and nearby does encounter-
ing these "rubs" will sniff this scent
and may rub their forehead leaving
their own scent.'
Bucks begin to follow does dur-
ing this time. By running away, the
doe will rarely allow the buck to
get closer than about 50 meters un-
til she reaches the receptive phase
of her own cycle.
When the doe is about to become
receptive, the Kuck often stands be-
side her with his chin over her
hindquarters. After mating, the
buck may stay with the doe for
several hours to keep other bucks
away. Shortly afterward, the buck
leaves the doe and has no role in
rearing the young.
In any given herd, usually only
the most dominant bucks breed
with the does, thus ensuring the
best genes arc passed on to the
next generation of fawns.
The Pinery Park will be con-
ducting n walk focusing ondeer
on Saturday, November 12 on the
Cedar Trail,
