Ladies from the Ethel Women's institute served pancakes and sausage at the pancake day at Maple Keys
Conservation Area near Ethel on Sunday. Beautiful weather brought a large turnout of people who were
able to see maple syrup being made in methods from Indian times to the present.
Pancake day big success
Maple Syrup success is the best
way to describe the annual Pan-
cake Day held at Maple Keys Sugar
Bush, Molesworth.
The Ethel W.I. were kept very
busy with the customers wanting
pancakes, sausage and of course
maple syrup.
It is not known at this time how
many pancakes were consumed,
but it was lots.
The weather co-operated to its
very best, as visitors not only ate,
but took the trail tours and watched
the various competitions.
Congratulations to the CKNX
Media team as they were victorious
in claiming first place.
A special thanks to the young
people who helped the Ethel
ladies. They were very helpful at
the busiest time.
Blyth Atoms lose tough game
in tournament 'B' final
The disciplined play that had led
to a tremendous improvement in
the Blyth Atoms team's play
deserted'them under the pressure
of playoff competition as the team
dropped two games to Clinton
teams to end up as runners-up to
the consolation championship in
Zurich this weekend.
The team got a bye in the first
round of the championship tourna-
ment which meant they went into
their Saturday afternoon game
needing only one win to move to the
A champsionship game. They were
up against Clinton's No. 1 team, a
team they'd played close hockey
with twice in recent weeks.
From the start the tension
seemed to show as the Blyth
players started chasing the puck
instead of holding their positions
and Clinton took a lead in the first
minute. But Kevin Souch got Blyth
back into the game with a goal
midway through the period and the
two teams were scoreless the rest
of the period.
Michael McNichol gave Blyth a
2-1 lead midway through the
second with another unassisted
goal and for a while it appeared that
despite their lax defensive play and
listless offence, Blyth just might
pull off a win.
Clinton came back with a goal in
the last minute of the second to tie
the game and set up a tense third
period. The two teams were
scoreless for the first 10 minutes of
the period before Clinton scored to
take the lead. That opened the
flood gates and they came back
with two more goals before the
period ended.
CONSOLATION ROUND
That put Blyth into an early -
morning game Sunday against
Exeter and against this team that
they had beaten badly several
times during the season they
showed flashes of their old game,
enough at least to come up with a
4-2 win.
Danny Van Bakel gave Blyth the
lead midway in the first period
when his long point -shot floated
over the shoulder of the Exeter
goaltender and dipped under the
crossbar. Seconds later Brian Van
Steelandt was on the spot to tip In
Kevin Souch's rebound and give
BI'•th a 2 - 0 lead.
Early in the second period Mike
McNichol scored an unassisted
goal to give Blyth a three -goal lead
and just before the end of the
period Kevin Souch scored with an
assist going to Tyler Craig.
The team either tried or got a
little too confident in the third
period as they let Exeter have two
goals in the last five minutes and
forced Jason Elliott in goal to make
a stop on another breakaway to
keep the game from getting too
close.
BRUTAL FINAL
The consolation championship
game against Clinton would be the
last Atom game for some of the
players before they moved up next
year to Peewees and body -contact
hockey and they certainly got a
taste of what they could expect in a
sometimes brutal game.
, The two teams played evenly
through the first period and the
early part of the second with Blyth
failing to take advantage of a
number of Clinton penalties in-
cluding one two-man advantage.
Clinton took the lead three
minutes into the second period
when a long -shot was redirected in
front of Blyth goalie Jason Elliott
and went over his shoulder into the
net.
Blyth not only failed to take
advantage of another two-man
advantage in the third but also
gave up a goal to a short-handed
Clinton team.
The game got vicious as the third
period wore on with one Blyth
breakaway foiled by a two -hander
across the wrists which was
penalized and another by a cross -
body block that sent Danny
VanBakel crashing into the boards,
injured (this went unpenalized). In
between another Clinton player
was penalized for dropping a knee
on the neck of Danny Van Bakel as
he lay on the ice trying to cover the
puck. Blyth made it close when
Kevin Souch finally scored with
three minutes remaining and with
the man advantage from the
Clinton "unsportsmanlike con-
duct" penalty, pressed around the
Clinton net but were unable to
score the equalizer.
Losing the last game of the year
was bad enough but the violence of
the loss was a poor wayfor the team
to end a season that had seen
players progress a long way from
their tentative first games last fall.
Coaches Tony VanBakel and Ken
Scott deserve credit for the pro-
gress of the team and for the
sportsmanlike manner the team
played all year.
Stars for Blyth in the first game
were Jason Elliott, Kevin Souch
and Shawn Rutledge. Second
game stars were ShawnRutledge,
Kevin Souch and Ian Andrews and
third game stars were Danny Van
Bakel, Kevin Souch and Brian Van
Steelandt.
Based on the game stars through
the year, four players will be
awarded trophies: Kevin Souch,
Jason Elliott, Shawn Rutledge and
Danny Van Bakel.
