The Clinton Mustangs
learned an important lesson
in last Friday night's 8-4 loss
to the Walkerton Black
Hawks - you can't win
hockey games from the
penalty box.
The Hawks took full ad-
vantage of their power play
opporturities by scoring five
power play goals in handing
the Mustangs their third
consecutive loss.
The Mustangs were minus
the services of four players
from the lineup; Brad
Armstrong and Ross Snider
were serving suspensions
and Sean Van Dongen and
Ken Thornton had shoulder
injuries.
Coach Jim Nigro failed to
use the lack of manpower as
an excuse for the loss.
"We never played well.
Our club lacked discipline
and we never skated well or
used the body," said Nigro.
The lack of discipline
showed as the Mustangs
were caught out of position
and took needless penalties
throughout the contest.
Walkerton opened up the
scoring at 4:55 of the opening
period when Kevin Kieffer
connected on the power play
by flipping a rebound over
Clinton netminder Jim
MacDonald. The Mustangs
tied the score with three
minutes left in the period
while the Hawks had two
men in the penalty box. Jack
Adams took a perfect pass
from team Captain Jim
Fritzley and drilled a low
wrist shot off the stick of
Hawk's goalie Steve Elliott
and into the top corner of the
net. The period ended with
the Hawks dominating play.
The acrobatic goaltending of
Jim MacDonald kept the
score tied at one after the
first period of action.
The second period saw
Walkerton outscore Clinton
4-2.
The Mustangs grabbed the
lead for the first and only
time in the game at 5.
shorthanded goal by ri:..d
winger Brian Horner.
Horner took a pass from
Darrell Graham and blasted
a 20 foot slap shot over the
shoulder of Elliott.
The Hawks tied the score
on a power play goal at 8:56.
Mark Walters unleashed a
fluttering slap shot that
eluded MacDonald's glove.
Three minutes later Walters
gave Walkerton a 3-2 lead
when he won a faceoff in his
own end and raced ice length
beating MacDonald with a
deke.
The Mustang power play
backfired when Kevin
Kieffer scored a shorthanded
goal by intercepting a pass in
the Clinton end and ripping a
snap shot past MacDonald
for a 4-2 Hawk lead.
Walkerton increased the
margin to three goals when
Mark Walters collected his
third goal of the period.
Walters deflected a Clarence
Rosevear slap shot through
the legs of MacDonald, who
was screened on the play.
Clinton came back at 18:50
as Brent Daw whistled home
a drive to make it 5-3
Walkerton after two periods
of play.
The third period belonged
to the Hawks as they scored
three power play goals.
Penalties destroyed any
chance the Mustangs might
have had to come back in the
game. Discipline problems
and poor positional play by
the Mustangs were
especially evident in the
third period.
Kevin Elliott made it 6-3
for the visitors when his slap
shot made its way through a
maze of players for
Walkerton's third power
play goal of the game.
Walkerton connected for
its seventh goal when Wayne
Hinsperger scored on the
power play with Clinton's
Brian Horner off serving a
five minute major for
hooking.
The third period sewed
on a
like a marathon with play
moving at a snail's pace.
Referee Jim Nonni dished
out 30 minutes in penalties
during the period with 16
minutes being assessed
against Clinton.
Brian Horner scored the
lone Mustang goal in the
period as he deflected a slap
shot from Greg Flowers by
goalie Elliott for Clinton's
second power play goal of
the game.
Hawk's Captain Mark
Zippel rounded out the
scoring with a power play
goal at 14:52 of the period.
Following the game
Clinton Coach Jim Nigro was
optimistic about the club's
future this season.
"We'll have to turn things
around and get ready for
next weekend's game with
Winghani. 1 definitely feel
we will make the playoffs.
We'll have to work our butts
off in practise this week,"
said Nigro.
With the playoffs just
around the corner, it's
anyone's guess as to who will
make the final playoff berth -
Clinton or Port Elgin.
Clinton Peewees bounce
On Friday evening,
Brussels was hosted by the
local peewees. Norris Flynn
opened the scoring early in
the first period on a pass
from Scott Brown and .cky
Pickett. Brussels bounced
right back three minutes
later to even the score.
Devon Colquhoun picked up
a pass from Norris Flynn at
the halfway mark of the first
period to give Clinton the
lead. Michael Dykstra made
it 3-1 for Clinton, assisted by
Jeff Jewitt and Paul Wright
and closed out the first
period.
The only scoring in the se-
cond was a goal by Paul
Wright, assisted by Jeff
Jewitt.
In the third period,
Brussels scored their second
goal at the 2:23 mark only to
have Michael Dykstra score
his second goal to give Clin-
ton a three Boal lead. Jeff
Jewitt and Paul Wright pick-
ed up assists. One minute
later Ricky Pickett fed a
pass to Devon Colquhoun to
give Clinton a 6-2 lead.
Brussels came back with
their third goal of the game.
To round out the scoring,
Jamie Gibbings picked up a
loose puck in front of the net
to give Clinton a 7-3 win,
assisted by Jeff Jewitt
On Saturday night, Clinton
played in Seaforth to come
out on the short end of a 2-1
score.
The Clinton boys played
hard but just couldn't
capitalize. Scoring the lone
Clinton goal was Jeff Jewitt,
assisted by Paul Wright and
Michael Dykstra.
Clinton plays an exhibition
game in Zurich on Wednes-
day night and travel to
Brussels for a league game
at 8:30 on Friday night.

everyone knows, ice can be very dangerous, but it is
, Willy so for the hunter. There is always the temp-
tation to cross over that stream or pond by the most direct
route and if you do happen to go through, the hunter is
often alone and way out in the back country somewhere,
far from help and warmth. While skis or snowshoes often
help you float over thin ice, it's frequently impossible to
kick them off if they're underwater. If you must cross ice,
look carefully and scout around a bit first. Avoid riffle
areas in streams, as the moving water usually produces
thinner ice.
If you do go through and get wet, the first priority is to
dry out and warm up. That's where those waterproof
matches that every outdoor person carries come in
handy. If an attempt is made to walk home first, severe
frostbite or death could result. Hypothermia is a re
killer, and soaked clothing will bring the condition about
faster than anything else.
Avoid ice at all costs if there is any doubt at all. Watch
what you are doing, and be prepared to put on a burst of
speed or retrace your footsteps in a hurry if the ice starts
to give way or crack while you are on it. And always
remember that old rule of thumb: one inch - unsafe; two
inches - one may; three inches - small groups; and four
inches - O.K.

Do you have your winter survival kit in the car now that
the bad weather is here again? If not, it's a good idea to
get it organized now. A candle and matches can be a real
lifesaver in an emergency, and 1 saw what might be the
ideal solution for motorists last summer. It's a candle
which has been hermetically sealed in a pop -top tin and is
designed to be carried by pilots for survival situations.
Something like this, once placed in a car, can stay there
forever as there is very little temptation to use it for
anything else. 1 spotted these candles in the office at the
flying club in Goderich, so if you're interested, it would be
well worth a trip over there.
If you do have your kit in the car from last year, it
should be checked out to make sure nothing has
deteriorated. Matches sometimes get damp and won't
ignite, so replace those items yearly. The old fashioned
wooden kitchen matches are best, but they should be
stored in a fireproof, waterproof container. A little bit of
care and planning now could save your life later.

Old Christmas trees can be reused when the holiday
season is over, but not in the house please. An old tree
propped up in the back yard will attract birds, and provide
them with a place to rest and hide. Placed in a field or
along a fence line (check with the farmer first), it will
provide a bit of cover for travelling wildlife. One of the
best uses for it, however, is in a pond where it will provide
cover for small baitfish, and act as a nursery area for the
young of, species reproducing there. Weight the tree by
wiring rocks, cement blocks or bricks to it, and place it in
position on the ice (careful!) in the winter. The tree will
sink to the bottom during spring thaw and be in position to
be used for years ahead. Just be sure you don't put it
where it will interfere with swimming or boating ac-
tivities. And one last word. Remember where you put it
for an automatic hot spot when you return to fish the
following summer.
+++
There are two things to remember when taking pictures
in the winter. First of all, cameras operate best when
warm so when you're out, carry the camera under your
coat next to the body. Take it out to snap the picture, then
return it to its nest. Cold can also decrease the output of
the batteries resulting in improper exposures with
automatic cameras. It's a good idea to carry spare bat-
teries so you don't lose that picture taking opportunity of a
lifetime.
Bright sun and snow can also produce unsatisfactory
results because too much light is reaching the meter.
Compensate for this by overexposing one or two f-stops
when photographing under these conditions. Bracketing,
as it is called, usually produces at least one exposure
which is correct so the moment is not lost forever. It may
use up a bit more film, but believe me, it's worth it in the
long run.
New sports award
A new sports award to
recognize individual and
team accomplishments at
the community level is being
added to the Ministry of
Tourism and Recreation's
extensive recognition pro-
gram, Reuben C. Baetz,
minister, announced today.
Named the "Sports Cham-
pionship Certificate", it will
honour first place winners of
local and regional competi-
tions, including tour-
naments, house leagues and
recreational leagues.
"This rounds out our
Sports Award Program."
said Mr. Baetz. "Previously
we recognized only cham-
pions at higher levels of com-
petition, but since it is an in-
tegral part of this Ministry's
mandate to encourage par-
ticipation in sports at all
levels, these certificates will
become an important part of
our overall program."
Nomination forms may be
submitted by league
representatives for cham-
pionships declared after
January 1, 1983. The forms
will be available from
ministry regional offices in
Toronto, Hamilton, London,
Ottawa, North Bay and
Thunder Bay.
The other components of
the ministry's Sports Award
Program include the Athlete
of the Year and Athlete Ex-
cellence awards for ac-
complishments at provin-
cial, national and interna-
tional competitions; the
Special Achievement Award
for individuals other than
athletes who make special
volunteer contributions to a
sport; and Ontario Cham-
pionship Certificates to
athletes who win provincial
competitions.
