sugar, butter, golden raisins or
currants

flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
Combine ingredients in order
given. Sift together flour, soda,
cinnamon, salt. Mix in flour
combination. It will seem dry. Do
not add any liquid as the carrots will
supply all that is necessary.
Grease and flour a bowl, spoon in
pudding mixture; tie on tinfoil as a
cap, then steam for three hours.
I have used metal jar rings as a
trivet.
Don't let kettle boil dry. Keep
simmering water halfway up sides
of bowl.
Sauce for pudding:
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. flour

In a saucepan cook sugar and
butter until quite dark. Add flour
stirring until smooth. Gradually add
hot water, stir until thickened. Cook
five to six minutes; add vanilla.
Spoon a few tablespoons of sauce
over each serving of pudding.
This is a real pioneer dessert that
most of us will remember. No
chemicals or trans fat.

OFSC celebrates Get Ready for Snowmobiling Week
The Ontario Federation of
Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC)
celebrates provincial Get Ready for
Snowmobiling Week. Nov. 25 - Dec.
With Jack Frost already nipping
the air, Get Ready for Snowmobiling
Week kicks off the 2006/07 sledding
season and serves as a reminder to
businesses and snowbelt
communities to start preparing for
another beneficial winter. OFSC
snowmobiling generates over $1
billion of economic impact annually
for rural and northern communities
during their most dormant time of
year.
"Most of all, sledding is great fun,
so we are inviting everyone who
enjoys being outdoors with family
and friends to Go Snowmobiling this
winter on OFSC trails," said OFSC
president Bruce Robinson, who also
cautions: Get ' Ready for
Snowmobiling Week is our season
launch — but remember, our
snowmobile trails won't be open
until we have' consistent, sub-
freezing temperatures and enough
snow for groomers to pack a durable
base."
As club volunteers continue to set
up their trails, Get Ready for
Snowmobiling Week is about other
preparations, too.
It's the last chance to buy a
snowmobile trail permit at a pre-.

to pull the goalie and get an extra
attacker out, when Freiburger
decided to go end to end and
completely undress the North Bay
goaltender. The girls were off to the
finals.
On Sunday the girls arrived back
at the arena to find they would be up
against Barrie for the championship.
Knowing it would be a close game
the girls prepared themselves for a
battle.
Unfortunately for Barrie they
found themselves with a girl in the
penalty box and facing a strong
Maitland powerplay in the first
period. Freiburger connected with
Kelsey Vanderveen of Lucknow who
hit the mark only nine seconds into
the penalty making it 1-0 for the
Lightning.
Barrie continued to fight hard and,
despite the girls' hard work, was
able to tie it up.
The game would stay tied until the
end of the third and throughout an
exciting five-minute overtime,
leading to a shootout. Freiburger
was Maitland's second shooter and
the first to solve a goaltender in the
shootout, putting Maitland ahead by
one. Barrie's captain tied it up and
the squads were off to extra
shooters.
Dru Austin of Goderich,
celebrating her 15th birthday on the
Saturday, was Maitland's fifth and
final shooter. She netted a neat
backhand behind the Barrie
goaltender to win the gold,
Honourable mentions this
weekend go out to Victoria Rumph
of Drayton for solid goalkeeping
during the shootout, to Stephanie
Heifer of Belmore who managed to
be penalty free in two out of the
three games over the weekend, to
Freiburger who was in on six of the
seven Maitland goals this weekend,
scoring four times and assisting on
two others, and to Kassie Avery
from 'the middle of nowhere' who
was plus three on the weekend.

Dec. 1 and $230 after).
• It's _a good opportunity for those
over the age of 12 without a driver's
licence to sign up for a mandatory
driver training course by visiting
http://www.ofsc.on.ca and clicking
on the Driver Training logo.
It marks the time to take
snowmobiles in for professional
servicing, to winterize tow vehicle
and trailers, and to check the
readiness of all snowmobile gear and
accessories.
Riders should also confirm that the
proper insurance and_ sled
registration is in place. In Ontario,
the law requires a minimum of
$500,000 liability coverage.
Get Ready 'for Snowmobiling
Week is also when snowmobilers
should familiarize themselves with
the published list of Assumptions for
OFSC Trail Use, which can be found
The Wingham Midget Rep team,
sponsored by Stainton Hardware,
tuned up well for the Silver Stick
tournament by defeating Howick 9-2
last Friday.
Greg Tiffin paced the offence with
a hattrick plus two assists. Wade
Stephenson and Kyle Ritchie had
two goals each with Tyler Stewart
and Ben Gowing adding singles.
Other assists went to Graham
at www.ofsc.on.ca under Trails.
Every snowmobiler must know and
understand these assumptions before
riding on any OFSC snowmobile
trail.
Finally, Get Ready for
Snowmobiling Week is an excellent
occasion for businesses, snowbelt
communities and snowmobilers to
join the OFSC in thanking all the
volunteers and landowners who
