Area Junior Farriers tour Australia and New Zealand
*from page 1
While in Adelaide, the girls had the
opportunity to tour Roseworthy Agricultural
College which has its own horse, sheep and
dairy farms on the campus.
The group piled into several yewts, small
pickup trucks, to tour the farms and were
caught in a dust storm which came up unex-
pectedly. Much like a winter snowstorm
which reduces visibility to nil, the girls
discovered the Australians just keep on
motoring during such a storm, because there
is no where to take cover until you reach your
destination. Following the storm everyone
was covered in sand; hair, skin, the cuffs of
pants.
A favourite Australian past time is bunny
bashing or poily piping and the girls were
taken along for the evening's entertainment.
Rabbits are a real menace in Australia and
are fair game. Of an evening, everyone piles
into a yewt and using spotlights, they track
down rabbits in the fields and kill them with
rubber pipes.
In New Zealand the sport is called
spotlighting and they use guns instead of
pipes.
Far from being considered a grisly sport,
it is comparable to an afternoon shooting
groundhogs in our area.
The girls noticed the Australians are
ingenious at devising equipment to work
their land, because the cost of purchasing
farm equipment which has to be imported is
prohibitive. Instead the farmers build their
own machinery. On the vegetable farm,
Nora saw a piece of equipment built by' the
Bantam As win championship
By Doug Stevenson
and George Gibson
On Saturday, March 19 the
Bantam A team travelled to
the 19th annual Harriston
Bantam tournament.
Their first opponents were
Milverton. Even though the
final score of 4 - 2 for
Lucknow indicates a close
game, Lucknow totally dom-
inated the game. They out
hustled and out hit the oppo-
sition. Had the boys scored
on only a few of their golden
opportunities, the score
would have been much high-
er,
Scoring for Lucknow were
Dan Gilchrist, 2 goals; Chris
Irwin, 1 goal, 1 assist; Chris
Collyer, 1 goal; Brad Pries -
tap; 1 assist; Andy Grazier, 1
assist; Steven Van Osch, 1
assist; Scott Hackett, 1 as-
sist.
In the second game of the
day, the boys were matched
against a team from Erin. In
one of the most exciting
games of the year, Lucknow
pulled out a 5 - 4 come from
behind victory. Erin proved
to be one of the best fore -
checking and defensive
teams we played all year. For
at•least half the game, Erin
totally confused and frustrat-
ed the boys and were full
marks for the 3 - 1 advantage
they held.
A late second period goal
by Lucknow turned the tide
of the game. The goal gave
the boys confidence and they
came out in the third period
flying. Three in three minut-
es gave Lucknow a 5 - 3 lead.
However, only outstanding
goaltending by Dean Lindsay
enabled them to hold on for a
victory.
Scoring for Lucknow were
Chris Irwin, 2 goals; Brad
Priestap, I goal, 1 assist;
Dan Gilchrist, 1 goal, 2
assists; Chris • Collyer, 3
assists; Scott Hackett, 2
assists; Steve Van Osch, .1
goal.
The championship game
for the C -DD division took on
extra meaning when Tees -
water qualified as the opposi-
tion.
After successfully killing
an early penalty, the team
gained strength and confid-
ence. By the end of one
period, Lucknow held a well
deserved 2 - 0 lead as they
out skated and out hustled
the Teeswater team.
After a scoreless second
period on heavy ice, the team
expected Teeswater to come
out strong. By strongsi-
tionai play, the Luuk)iow
boys stopped Teeswater
cold.
With constant pressure,
they built up a 4 - 0 lead on
two power play markers be-
fore Teeswater ruined the
shut out with a goal at the
6.02 mark.
Just to be sure, Lucknow
made it 5 - 1 with two
minutes left and, when Tees -
water made it 5 - 2 on a fancy
one from a face off, Lucknow
came back with short handed
goal to ice the cake at 6 - 2.
Although the victory was a
good demonstration of team
play, the scoresheet belong-
ed to Dan Gilchrist with four
goals and one assist, includ-
ing three, third period mark-
ers. To complete the score -
sheet: Brad Priestap, 1 goal
and 1 assist; Chris Irwin, 1
goal; Jeff Gibson, Scott
Hackett and Steve Van Osch,
one assist each.
Special mention to Steve
Murray for consistent per-
formance on the blue line
and to Chris Collyer for
double duty on right wing
and defense. Solid defense
by the entire team helped
Dean Lindsay post a very
respectable 2.67 G.A. for the
tournament.
Following the game. the
team was presented the Burt
Dixon Trophy, a pennant for
the Lucknow arena and indiv-
idual medallions. Congratu-
lations team! it couldn't
happen to a better bunch.

Ferguson's bill, another option is to revise
and amend the Bankruptcy Act or thirdly, to
approve an entirely new bill which concerns
providing financial flexibility for both
farmers and small businessmen.
"The three options are hazy," said
' Christie, "while the CFSA makes them
sound straight forward."

While in Adelaide with her host family,
Audrey attended an unusual wedding. She
and her hosts went to the beach for an
afternoon of swimming and water skiing.
Later in the day, the bride and groom
showered and chagged to a white dress and
a pair of dress pants and Hawaiian print
shirt, respectively. They returned to the
beach where they said their vows and then
continued with their swimming and water
skiing. The ceremony was followed by a
barbeque dinner.
The Australian lifestyle is laid back
compared to Canadian lifestyles, but even
for Australians this wedding was unusually
casual.
One more thing, the bride was given away
by a girl friend who wore a white tuxedo.
New Zealand
From Melbourne they flew to Christ-
church on the South Island of New Zealand.
They stayed with host families for four days
in Waimate, in the Cantebury district.
As the girls found out, travelling with New
Zealanders can be a hair raising experience.
Their roads are not well maintained by
Ontario standards and the New Zealanders
have two speeds: stop and go. It was not
unusual to find oneself travelling 110 kilo-
metres an hour around a very bumpy gravel
