Clinton News-Record, 1977-10-20, Page 6PAGE 6—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1977 Mustangs remain unbeaten By Bryan Marriage In OHA Junior "C" action this past weekend, the Clinton Mustangs grabbed first place with a pair of victories. Last Friday night in the 'Stangs home opener, they edged Walkerton by a score of 3-1, while on Sunday night in Listowel, they squeezed out a 4-3 victory over their ar- chrival Cyclones. Tim McLean was the hero in Sunday nights game as he scored the winner with only 32 seconds remaining in the game. Dave Stephenson opened the scoring last Sunday in Listowel early in the first period and McLean notched his first of two goals shortly after. Listowel rebounded with a pair of powerplay goals to tie the score before the first period ended. In the second period, the Stangs went ahead again, this time on .a fine goal by John Hart only to have Listowel rebound and tie the game to end the second period. The thir4period was wide open and many excellent saves by Clinton goaltender Dean Ryan saved the Stangs and set the pace for McLeans game winner in the last minute of play. Peter Thompson had a superb game, picking up three assists in the Mustang victory. Listowel outshot Clinton 40 to 32 overall through the game. Last Friday ' night in the. Mustangs 77-78 home opener, the Walkerton Black Hawks, were in town to face the Mustangs and midway through the first period Paul Spitzig opened the sco ng for Walkerton before Clinton captain Steve Cook retaliated in the last minute of play in the period to tie the score. After the first period, Clinton netminder Jurgen Hellman closed the door on the Black Hawks and Tim McLean scored midway through the second, while John Hart added an in- surance goal part way through the third period. For the second time The Mustangs are now two wins and a tie for the young 77-78 seasoti and ironically enough, in both games they have won thus far, the game winning goal each time has been fired off the stick of Tim McLean, now in his second season with the Stangs. This Friday night, the Port Elgin Bears will travel to Clinton for an 8:30 p.m. contest and Qn Sunday,. the, Stangs travel to Kincardine to face the- _Kinucks for the second time this season. The 300 Booster club draw for $100 originally slated for October 15-77 will be held during Friday night's game. There is still a draw to take place in November for $100 and the final grand prize draw for $1,000 will be held on Dec, 15. With all the interested people Mustangs have had with the 300 Booster club tickets, this year the tickets will increase to 350 as many persons failed to get theirs when only 300 were sold last year. The Clinton Junior "C" Mustangs have taken up where they left off last year, and so far are unbeaten in three league games. They beat Walkerton in the home opener here last Friday, 3 - 1, with hustle behind the net as pictured above. Coach Dan Colquhoun says he is only three players away from taking the whole league this year. (News -Record photo) Birds capture ball title Go! Last Thursday night theBluebirds captured their second Clinton and District Industrial fastball title in the last three years as they edged a determined Archers club, 9- 7 to win the best -of -three final two games to one. The Teachers won title last year as they eliminated the Birds in two straight, but this year the Archers ousted them in the semi-finals. Steve Switzer's double in the first game gave the Bluebirds the win as he sent Basil O'Brien across the plate in the, 8-7 victory. Dennis "Ruby" Fleischauer was the winning pitcher while Bruce Bromley suffered the defeat. Behind the outtanding pitching of George MeClin- chec; the Archers captured the seond game of the series as Bill Crawford singled home the winning run in the bottom of the seventh to give The Archers the win and to even the series. The final game of the series sawArchers grab an early 4-0 lead but theBluebirds fought back to ti'e the game on Greg Brown's base -clearing triple in the fourth. The Birds got be is ma'v revi.��p�ts may revived their winning run in the sixth as Burns sacrificed Don McDonald home on a long fly to center. Dennis Fleischauer, who pitched all three games for the Bluebirds, was the win- ning pitcher while George McClinchey took the loss. Greg Burns, Bill .1-Ioggarth and Doc Miller paced the Bluebirds with two hits a piece but Burns was the most productiveas he drove in five wins.

The Clinton Colts, the Intermediate "C" Hockey Club which was supposed to have died earlier this fall, may be revived and play this season after all. The Colts, a long standing tradition in Clinton, may be brought back to life by Harvey Carter, and father-in- law Hugh Hodges, if enough players and enough en- thusiasm is shown at a practise set for last night (Wednesday) at the Vanastra arena. Carter said that instead of playing in the Ontario Hockey Association' (OHA) they would enter the Southern loop of the Western Ontario Athletic Association (WOAA) Intermediate "C" league. , They would probably play teams from Mitchel, Palmerston, Monktan, Belmore, Ripley, Howick, and Kincardine. Carter admitted 'it was a late start for the team, with players already drifted off to Goderich and Wingham "Lots ofothercountrjes have:Unernployment Insurance. What's so good about our system?" Intermediate clubs, and the Stratford Perths of the Senior Intercontinental League, but he hoped he could form the nucleus of Clinton Club anyway. He and Hodges have had Promises of help from Paul An'stett, John Leppington, and Stretch Reinhart, and are trying to get George Divok as a coach. Any interested personnel or players are asked to call Harvey ai 482-9363 or Hugh at 482-7963. Arena Schedule FRIDAY NIGHT, OCT. 21, Port Elgin vs. Clinton Jr. "C" Mustangs at 8:30 p.m. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23 Toth Skating, 1-2 p.m. (Tots Only) Public Skating 2 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. Admission: CHILDREN 25° ADULTS 50° Canada has one of the most comprehensive UI programs in the western world. It has a relatively short entrance period and 'pays benefits longer. And almost all Canadians share in the cost and benefits of the program. • By reducing the financial shock of people's movements from one job to another, unemployment insurance has helped to keep our workforce adaptable to today's rapidly changing social and economic conditions. "Sure. But what about the cost to -Canadians?" Certainly, the dollar figures are high. This year's UI payout to Canadians will approach four billion dollars. But consider that figure in light of the .1 ultimate benefits to the country. • The UI program gives temporary financial aid to hundreds of thousands of Canadians while they're between jobs. "Isn't UI really just another kind of welfare?" Far from it. Welfare money is paid only according to need. Unemployment insurance money is paid according to eligibility. It's like any other kind of insurance. If you've worked in insurable employment, and a situation arises which entitles you to make a claim, that claim will be settled as quickly and courteously as possible. "Well, what do you do about cheaters and abuse?" There are fewer cheaters and abusers than some would have you believe. Outright criminal fraud is dealt with through conventional channels. Some people abuse the system without even knowing it. Here, and at times when the abuse is not really criminal in nature, we have our own staff to handle the problems. In any case, the vast majority of UI claimants deal with 'us as fairly as we try to deal with them. "How about when I make a claim and you say "no"? If you have good reason to disagree with any decision a UI agent makes on your claim, you have the fight to appeal that decision to an independent and impartial board of 'referees, of the Federal Court. You can go to the appeal hearing and be represented by anyone you wish. And if new information comes to light before or during the appeal, you can go back to your agent and ask for g review of the decision. And the whole appeal process is free. 1 • - Remember, our job is to pay you all the benefits you are entitled to. b "OK, what do you have to do while you're receiving benefits?" Your Unemployment Insurance office can ask you to carry out what we call a formal "Active Job Search". Your agent will want to know what you're doing to find suitable and gainful employment while you're getting your cheques. But no matter what happens, you should keep looking seriously for a new job and follow any instructions your UI office or Canada Manpower Centre gives you. Your right to conti- nuing benefits depends on it. If you'll do your job, we'll do ours. The Unemployment Insurance Co?nnusion and the Deparhnent of Manpower and Immignztion have become the Canada Em' Imnment and Immigration Co»mnssirnz Iinr a time, you'll still see our local offices identified as Unemployment Insurance offices or Canada Manpower Centres When they're together in one location, they'll to called Canada Employment Centres.
