From the stands

Overpaid bums defeat champs
Next Sunday football fans will stock up on
their favorite cold beverage and get plenty
of chips, pretzels and popcorn. Then they'll
plant themselves in their most comfortable
chair, turn on the tube and tune everything
and everyone else out as Grey Cup '84
presents the Hamilton Tiger -Cats against
the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The eastern final between the Ti -Cats and
Argos last Sunday was much more exciting
then the western final between the Blue
Bombers and the B.C. Lions. Just the word
"overtime" adds an extra special element
to the game.
Since the eastern final went into overtime,
I missed a lot of the western final. What I did
see really didn't compare with the Ti -Cat
victory.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Ti -Cat fan,
or an Argo fan. However, the game provided
a defensive struggle which made the game
that much more interesting. I find a 14-13
overtime victory has more excitment then a
31-14 regulation time win. Maybe because
the players have played a normal length
game and have to dig deep to find that extra
energy.
I think that Harold Ballard's comment
about his Ti -Cats being a bunch of overpaid
bums added to the game as well. Before tur-
ning on my television I asked who's going to
win? Last year's champs or the overpaid
bums? Just the two words, champs and
burns conjures up some images.
The Argos finished regular season play
with nine wins, six losses and one tie. The Ti -
Cats finished with six wins, nine losses and
one tie. But it was the total offensive yards
for the Argos that made me think they were
going to make the trip to the Grey Cup for
the third time in as Many years.
The Argos had 6,231 to the Ti -Cats 4,865
yards. They also beat Hamilton in
touchdowns, 49-34. The only identical ,
statistic for the teams was the quarterback
sacks. Both teams bad 58.
As for the Blue Bomber -Lions game, I
didn't really know who was going to win.
Neither of these teams are my favorites
'either, therefore I hadn't collowed them
very closely. But one thing I do remember is
watching the Blue Bombers' quarterback
Tom Clements leave the field under similar
conditions in previous high stake games.
Last year he had to leave because of a col-
larbone injury, and in the third quarter of
Sunday's game, he once again received an
injury to his upper body. There is one dif-
ference though, his team went on to win this
year.
What's going to happen next week? I think
I'll have to go with Winnipeg. I like Tom
Clements, and hopefully he'll be ready to
play. Dieter .Brock has one heck of an arm,
but I don't think he has the team infront of
him that Clements does. I also think that
Winnipeg will perform better in cold
weather. Either way, it should be an in-
teresting game.

Colt's off to
t)est start
The Clinton Colt 35's Oldtimer Hockey
team is off to its best start since its inception
in 1981. After losing home and home games
to the Goderich Old Deck Hands 11- 3 and 9 -
6, the Colt 35's have rebounded to win three
straight, 9 - 2 in Kincardine, 10 - 3 over
Zurich at home, and 4 - 2 over Wingham in
Blyth this past Sunday.
After three futile seasons the 35's are look-
ing forward to more success on the ice this
season. Each year has shown improvement
over the past but defeats have always out-
numbered victories. Now with a growing
familiarity with each other's style (few
have ever played on the same team before)
a more successful brand of hockey is emerg-
ing.
Gary Black is the regular goaltender with
back-up provided by Gerry Martin. The
defence corp consists of Don Colquhoun,
Ward Hodgins, Jake De Ruyter, Bill Munro,
John Radford and Bill Counter, The for-
wards are Ken Clynick, Phil White, Gerry
Hiltz, Dave Pugh, Jim Nott, Keith Allen,
Larry Powell, Dean Reid, Mel Hohner, Gord
Glen and Bill Ross. The team manager, the
man who organized it in 1980, and who
played goal until a bad back made that im-
possible,
Larry Powell, arranges c ford. He alona with
the schedule.
This year the Clinton Colt 35's team is an
officially recognized member of the Cana-
dian Oldtimers Hockey Association and
through this connection anticipates taking
part in more recognized tournaments.
Regular ice time for the Colt 35's is 9:30 to
11 p.m. Mondays at which time they usually
have a game scheduled, failing which a
spirited workout occupies this period.
Typical of Oldtimer teams, the Colt 35's
are. completely self-supporting, supplying'
their own equipment and paying for their ice
time while enjoying the game they have all
played at various levels for many years.

of their end. (Anne Narejko photo)
Atoms outhustle Wingham
Last Saturday afternoon the Clinton
Atoms travelled to Wingham. They outshot,
outhustled and outscored Wingham to the
tune of 9 - 2. The teams played to a first
period score of 1-1 with Clinton getting their
goal off of the stick of Mark Livermore.
Chris Kennedy drew the assist on the play.
Matthew Hunter tied the score for
Wingham.
In the second period Clinton grabbed a 4 -
1 lead on two goals by Scott Rathwell and a
goal by Scott Jewitt. Gerry Cappelli drew
the assist on Rathwell's first goal and Dan-
ny Wildfong had the assist on Jewitt's goal.
'Clinton outscored Wingham five goals to
one in the third stanza. Mark Livermore
gave Clinton a 5 -1 lead in the first minute of
the third after Danny Wildfong and Chris
Kennedy did all the spade work in setting up
the score. After Wingham cut the lead to 5 - 2
on a goal by Ryan Deyell, Clinton came
back to finish off the scoring with four
straight goals.
Shawn Chipchase, with the assist going to
Jason Carter, got the first one. Jeff Riley,
combining on an excellent pass from Mark
King, gave Clinton another goal and a 7 - 2
lead.
Three minutes later Chris Kennedy's
wrist shot found the bottom low corner to
add to Clinton's lead. Mark Livermore and
Scott Shaddick had the assists.
To round out the scoring Scott Jewitt
banged home his own rebound. Scott
Wright, who didn't figure in the scoring
statistics played an excellent game on the
Clinton defence. Derek Hoggarth and Rob-
bie Marriage shared the goaltending as the
Atoms won for the sixth straight time
without a set back. The Atoms next game is
against Mitchell this Saturday at the Clinton
Arena. game time is 3:15 p.m.
No room for rec director's office
By Anne Narejko
CLINTON - After spending over $i.5 -
million on the 104 -year-old town hall
renovations, there is no room for the
recreation director's office. Instead, extra
money will be spent on converting the
basement of the library into an office. -
Original plans were to have Clinton
Recreation Director, Kevin Duguay use the
library basement as a temporary office
while the -town :hall was under construction.
When construction was completed, Mr.
Duguay was to have a furnished office in the
building. He has now been informed that the
library basement will be his permanent
office.
Town council had originally planned to
revamp the mayor's office in the renovated
town hall to accommodate the recreation
director. Council debated whether the
recreation director's offices would,be best
situated at the town hall' or the arena. The
general consensus of their April 16 meeting
was that the town hall location would be
more central. to Clinton and would enable
the recreation director to carry out more of
the organizational projects.
Council originally decided that the
mayor's office would be converted into a
joint office between the recreation director
and the town's bylaw enforcement officer.
"I would like to go on record as saying
that I am opposed to this for many reasons,"
stated Recreation Committee member
Linda Reid. "One, you can never, get a hold
of Kevin when you want him. If he was at
town hall people would be around to answer
the phone; two, that location is very
,inaccessible to the public; and three, more
money will be spent when over a million
dollars have already been spent at the town
Nall."
As of the November 12 Recreation
Committee meeting, the Local
Architectural. Conservation Advisory
Committee (LACAC), were sharing the
same office at the library. Mr. Duguay has
been told to make arrangements as to which
room he prefers in the basement.
After coming up with six proposals as to
how the recreation office could be set up in
the library, Mr. Duguay came up with one
that he thought was the best.
The proposal involves the recreation
office using one and a half rooms. The first
room would be the main office and reception
area and the half a room would be used as a
meeting room,: a place for summer
employees and storage of files. The LACAC
committee would use the remainder of the
second room for their work.
"This proposal is planned with foresight.

It allows for future growth and expansion,"
stated Mr. Duguay.
Furnishings need for the office include a
telephone answering machine, a mail slot
for messages and registration forms to be
dropped off through, an office sign on the
lawn and door so people know where to go,
chairs and book shelves. After seven months
of waiting, Mr. Duguay now has a desk.
"One thing that should be made clear is
that the Recreation Committee isn't
responsible for the costs. The town is
responsible for the housing of the office,"
commented Mr. Duguay.
He will present his office proposal to the
parks, pool and program committee and
then they will submit a recommendation to
town council in approximately two weeks.
