The Lucknow Sentinel, 2015-01-21, Page 7Wolves Wall of Fa Submitted The Ripley Wolves will add another three names to its Wall of Fame at its final home game of the regular season, on Jan. 25. Marina Cameron, Pat Chatham and Jane VanSickle will be honoured for their years of work and dedication when the Wolves face Shal- low Lake on Saturday, Jan. 24, at 7:30 p.m. Since the team returned to the WOAA Senior' A' league in 2002, Pat and Marina have been the first smiling faces fans see when they enter the arena, rarely missing a game over the past decade. Work- ing the gate is often a cold and thankless job, but Pat and Marina never miss a shift. Without their commit- ment, the Wolves executive would be constantly scram- bling for volunteers, and we cannot thank them enough for their dedication to our hockey team. Jane VanSickle was one of the original members of the Wolves executive when the team was resurrected in '02. Jane worked diligently to recruit sponsors, convincing them the team was back in business and loaded with local talent. After dropping out of the league after a few down years, regaining the trust of our local sponsors was a daunting task, and Jane went above and beyond behind the scenes, as the roster began to fill out. Jane also served as the Wolves' secretary, keeping the new executive on track in its early days and helping to lay a strong foundation that the current executive still relies on today. The final home game will also be Sponsor Apprecia- tion Night, so we invite all of m e our fantastic sponsors to the rink to watch what should be a showdown for top seed in the Senior 'A' playoffs, which will be in a round- robin format of six teams (including two from the WOAA Senior A's South Division). The teams will play five round-robin games, with the Top 4 advancing to seven -game semi-finals beginning in March, with the winner decided in April. Currently, the Wolves sit in second in the 'A' pool, trailing Shallow Lake by two points with five games to play. Lucknow Lancers Report W°^,^Seniors p^ Dicky Dunn The Lucknow Lancers played two tough games this past weekend against Sau- geen Shores and Mapleton -Minto. The team travelled to Port Elgin on Friday night and played very well. The score was 4 - 2 late in the third period however some late power play goals gave Sau- geen the 7 - 2 win. Jamael Jacklin played well in net. On Sunday the team trav- elled to Palmerston. The game was again close until late when the Lancers got into penalty trouble. Final score was 7 - 3. Blake Smith was sharp in net. The game was a lot closer than the score indicated and the team is showing signs of improv- ing. When they play an entire 60 minutes they are a very difficult team to play. Goal scorers for the week- end were Joel Alton, Evan Ducharme, John Chappell and Tanner Simpson. Rick Andrew, Brett Binning, Brandon Dykxhoorn, Joel Alton, Shawn Moore, Jake Bruce, Tucker Dorscht, and Jamie Miller picked up assists. This weekend the Lancers host Durham. There is a lot taking place that night. It is Minor Hockey night. Every minor hockey player wear- ing a jersey gets free admis- sion into the game. There will also be an initiation game, chuck -a -puck, and Sepoy Catering will be serv- ing up delicious food also. The action begins at 5 pm with an alumni game. The 1989 Champion- ship Lucknow Lancers will play the 1989 Lions Head Alumni team. It should be a great night for hockey! Hope to see everyone on Saturday night. Sunday, February 1 at 2:30 pm is sponsor appreciation night. Cell Phone 911 Calls Continue to Tie Up Emergency Services "Lock it in Your Pocket" South Bruce OPP The South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to 605 of 911 calls between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014. Of these 605 calls, 6 (1%) were actual emergen- cies. To clarify, the South Bruce OPP answered more than 10,400 calls for service in 2014. 599 non -emergent calls made to 911 in 2014 are itemized in this release. Cell phone accidental or "pocket dial" calls accounted for 332 (55%) of the 911 calls that the South Bruce OPP responded to in 2014. This is up slightly from 2013 when officers responded to 323 cell phone calls which made up 56% of all 911 calls for the year. The remaining 267 calls to 911 in 2014: 184 (30%) acci- dental/misdial such as pro- gramming an auto dialer, attempting to call an over- seas number; 48 (8%) child playing with the phone; 35 (6%) phone line trouble. How this compares to 911 calls received in 2013: 128 (22%) accidental/mis- dial: 79 (14%) child playing with the phone; 39 (7%) phone line trouble. "Cell phone "pocket dials" continue to be an issue for emergency responders. When 911 is called, emergency person- nel will be dispatched. This represents a significant cost for rate payers, but the potential harm is much greater if an emergency responder is delayed get- ting to someone that needs immediate assistance. Act- ing Inspector Wayne Thompson, Detachment Commander, South Bruce OPP urges you to "Lock it in your pocket': He expands on this by saying, "Lock your cellphone keypad when you aren't using it and save 911 for those that truly need it."
