Recreation committee members in Clinton are becoming an extinct species. At present there are seven members. Ideally, the committee should have nine or 11 members to function efficiently. The old question arises, Where are all of those sports oriented people in this. town? -Why-dont people svantea -say-as-to-vhioh- direction recreation in this town goes What �''gcod are some of the individual job descriptions if there is no one to fill them? "I expect most people are afraid to volunteer for the. committee because they don't know what to expect,"said committee member Charlie Burgess. Committee member Ron McKay said participation on the committee has been an ongoing problem. "Personally I'd like to see the, younger-. people . involvedwith the committee," he said. Mr. McKay stressed the word "active" committee member. "We need members who come out on a regular basis," he said.

On, Friday night they beat Walkerton 6-5 and on Sunday Kincardine edged them 5-3. (Rod Hilts photo) "Mr. T' and Daw lead way Mustangs rally to beat Hawks By Rod Hilts . "Overall, with what we started with and how we're • playing now, we.have nothing to be ashamed of. If -the season was •a -month - longer, we could conceivably make the playoffs," said Mustangs' Head Coach Bob Zimmer, following a weekend split against Walkerton and Kincardine. Clinton Mustangs' record now stands at 6- 17-3, good for 15 points and fifth place in the six "team league. Clinton trails the fourth - place Hanover Barons -by 13 points with four games remaining in the regular schedule. On Sunday night, four first -period goals by the visiting Kincardine Kinucks proved to be too much for the Mustangs to overcome. On Friday night, Clinton managed to battle back from a four -goal deficit to edge the Walkerton Black Hawks 6-5. • Kinucks 5 Mustangs a A three -goal effort by Dave •Petteplace powered Kincardine to a 5-3 win and a share of second place dn the Central Junior C Group two division. Defenseman Sean VanDongen led the Clinton attack with two ' goals. The story of the first period was two Kincardine powerplay goals _ that were scored when goalie Pat Cronin and the Clinton defense were caught out of position. On both occasions, Cronin went out to challenge the shooters but was burned on the- rebounds, after the Clinton defense failed to cover their cheeks. • Forty-seven seconds into the game the Kinucks grabbed the lead when Randy Cline drifted a slapshot off the inside of the post, past a screened Cronin. The line of Tom . "Mr. T" Smith, Brad Armstrong and Brent Daw came a whisker away from tying the .score on a powerplay opportunity at the midway point • of the period. Armstrong had his best opportunity with 12 seconds left in a Kinuck penalty. He had two pdkes at a loose puck before being steamrolled by the Kinuck defense. Overall, the Clinton powerplay unit did not enjoy a good night as it scored • once in eight at- tempts. • Kincardine capitalized on their powerplay opportunity at the 8:25 tnark Dave Fair's slapshot rebounded off the backboards right • onto the stick of Petteplace, who slapped the puck into an empty net. Petteplace was left uncovered by VanDongen, who didn't see the unusual bounce come off the boards. The Clinton defense was guilty of leaving Petteplace unguarded in front of the net with 3:36 left and it resulted in Kincardine's third goal. Al Eadie drew the defense behind the net and fed Petteplace in the slot, - leaving Cronin with no chane. Nine seconds later, Daw scored Clinton's first goal on a pulverizing slapshot that whistled over the glove of Randy Petrik. Petteplace netted his third of the period with 58 seconds remaining when his team was on a powerplay. The goal was almost identical to his first one as Cronin made the initial save and Pettepiace was "Johnny on the spot" as he wacked the puck into the empty net. The teams started to get chippy in the. second period and seemed Content to play bump and grind hockey. VanDongen scored Clinton's second goal when his blast from the left point deflected off a Kinuck defenseman. A last minute goal by Eadie seemed -to deflate the Mustangs. Eadie cut in from the left side and flipped the puck high over the right shoulder of Cronip. Clinton defen- seman Wayne Smith'was caught up ice on Clinton• Peewees win _Ripley Legion Zone tQtcrnament. On Jan. 14, the Clinton Peewees travelled to Ripley and captured the Legion Zone Hockey Tournament. In their first game Clinton was matched up against Hensall. Clinton dominated from the outset, carrying the play to the weaker Hensall squad and came away with a 7-1 win. Devon Colquhoun notched four goals while Norris Flynn had two and Derek Jefferson the single for the winners. Coach Greg Burns and Brian Kennedy felt the boys skated well but as has been the case all year, the kids knew the opposition was not strong and tended to over pass and try for the perfect set up. This win gave the local squad a bye to, the finals where they would meet the winner of Kincardine and Goderich. After viewing some of the action in this game, it was apparent that Clinton would have to play well to beat either of these teams. On a disputed penalty shot, Kincardine won 3-2 to advance to the final. Clinton got off to a fast start and got a big lift when Steve Vanderdool fired a high shot on a feed from Flynn with the game just 18 seconds old. The first period ended with Clinton up 1-0 as the strong defense held Kincardine. In the second period, Clinton broke it open as Colquhoun notched a "natural hat -trick" with three successive goals, two coming on a powerplay off blasts from the point. Scott Brown assisted on both and Jefferson added Atoms and Novice win in or .ole a u Clinton!, Seaforth J Clinton Novice A's first defeat came on Saturday in Seaforth.

Clinton's number 10 Danny Wildfong broke away and scored unassisted at the end of the first period. Early in the second period Watt scored his third goal with the score 3 -1. The third period brought more tense moments for the Seaforth goalie as Clinton came back and scored a goal by Kris Ken- nedy assisted by Danny Wildfong. The Clinton players needed a few more minutes to even the score up but we ran out of time. Next game with Seaforth is Mon- day, Jan. 30 at 6:30 p.m. Clinton Novice 4 Milverton l Clinton Novice travelled' to Milverton on Friday night and came home with a win.

In the first period the first goal assisted 11 Mark Livermore assisted by Danny Atoms over Zurich Last Saturday night, Zurich came to town to 'take on the high -flying Clinton Atoms. Last time the two teams met they had battl- ed to. a 2-2 tie in Zurich. But this time the 'Clinton squad was ready and when the final buzzer had sounded, Clinton had out -gunned their opponents 8-2. Clinton broke out on top in the first period as Scott Jewitt took a pass from Jason Fleet at the blueline, skated in and scored a beautiful wrist shot tothe right hand corner. Zurich tied it at 1-1 on JasonSchilbe's goal. By the .end of the_ first._period _Scott Jewitt_• had 'scored two more goals to earn him a - hat -trick for the game. • _ In the second period Zurich's Jason Schilbe scored again to narrow the score to 3-2. But it was all Clinton after that as they scored five unanswered goals. Jason Fleet, Clinton's hot -shooting defenseman scored four of the five goals as he and Scott Jewitt continually dominated the game at both Turn- to page 19 The third period was a sleeper as neither team ..played with any intensity. The oc- casional chippy play and the frigid arena temperature were the only things that kept the minimal crowd awake. Clinton scored with 3:57 left when VanDongen used Kevin Lee as a screen. Lee turned on the jets and glided by Petrik, just as VanDongen unleashed the shot. The Mustangs gave it a valiant effort in the final minutes but were unable to score. Following the game Coach Zimmer seemed impressed with the Kincardine team. "I think they're (Kinlicks) getting back to where they were at the beginning of the season. I think their goaltender (Petrik) came up big tonight," Zimmer said. Zitnmer went on to say that Clinton has a good nucleus formed and that the team will be a force to be reckoned with in the future. "Right now the Mustangs are about five players away from lleing a real competitor in the league."

The goaltending duo of Mike Ladd and Richard Lyndon lost their shut out bid with just over two minutes to play. Clinton failed to clear a long rebound after Jefferson collided with his own goalie. Pat Pore had virtually an empty net to put it in. Both teams were a man short at the time. Jefferson quickly attoned for his miscue as he scored a pretty goal with 1:47 to play on a set up from Scott Brown and Greg Mayhew. The Clinton team will now advance to the District Tournament in Walkerton on Feb. 4. The players and coaches would like to thank the Clinton' Legion Branch 140 for their support in financing both of these tournaments. The team hopes to bring home another trophy on Feb. 4.

Burns added that "stick boy" Dan Colquhoun has been working the boys hard the last couple of weeks and thinks it's beginning to pay off. 'There's a long way to go but the kids are beginning to realize it's easier to do it our way and they are' starting to take things a little more serious," Burns said. "With only three more league games left in an undefeated regular schedule and playoffs just around the corner, it's hard to say how far they could go with a good team effort," Burns added.
