Clinton News-Record, 1984-10-17, Page 15�CORP,IVERNESDAY,OCTOPER17,104 Sports From the stands By Orme M®rejko Peaceful way to exercise I'd forgotten how pretty the month. of October can be with the trees changing color, dropping their leaves on the ground and making the entire community feel peaceful. In this world of hustle and bustle it's an easy thing to forget. Weekend assignments ai'e usually looked upon as something that has to be done, but yet never looked forward to. However, last weekend was different. The Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority sponsored its annual fall hike at the Bannockburn Wildlife Conservation Area on Sunday, and although it was foggy in the morning, the afternoon was great. They couldn't have picked a nicer day. The sun started to shine as we hit the trails and . the bugs stayed away, leaving us nothing but Mother Nature's beauty. ' Instead of just taking a few pictures at the start of the hike, I decided my body could use a little exercise so I put on my hiking boots and , prepared myself for some walking. The scenery was beautiful. Many colors of leaves lie on the ground while still other shades clung to their branches. Even though the group I was in consisted of approximately 20 people, the area was still peaceful enough to hear the small streams flowing. It was your classic idea of serenity. Occasionally a grouse would take flight when we disturbed him, or a blue jay would fly overhead. But other than that, we just took in the sights and watched our footing. For a photographer, with color film in his camera, this was a dream. Small bridges crossed over the streams, the sun's rays shone through the trees, and nature. provided all the elements for a pretty picture. The phrase "picture perfect" could easily apply at the Bannockburn Wildlife Area. Along the hike, our guide stopped to show us points of interest such as berries, both poisonous and eatable, plants such as ginger and bird houses. I think part of these stops were also meant to give those of us who were out of shape, a rest. It's not easy walking up hills, down hills, over bridges, and off the beaten trail for over an hour. But it is fun. Walking is said to be the best exercise a person can have. It doesn't increase your heart beat suddenly, and it's a lot easier on your knees then jogging is. The excuse I made up for being tired after the hike was my heavy boots and my camera equipment. I don't think too many people bought that one: Anyhow, I still ventured out to the golf course and played nine holes. Another nice thing to do in October. .dee scores four on way to I2- win CLINTON - After losing their first. hockey game of the season, the ,Clinton Jr. "C" Mustangs won their-follow�'ing two games. On October 12, they defeated Kincardine 12- 5 and on October 14 they downed Port Elgin 3-1. Manager Wayne Wiggins feels that the Mustangs out skated and out ply yed the Kincardine team on the large Kincardine ice surface. Leading the scoring in the game was Kevin Lee, scoring four goals. Brad Armstrong also had a good night, putting the puck behind the Kincardine goaltender twice. Kincardine jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead with only five minutes gone in the game. However, goals by Lee and Armstrong quickly tied the game. Assisting on Lee's powerplay goal was Pete Willems while Shawn Rahbek and Doug Zimmer assisted on the second goal. Nineteen seconds later, Brad Hymers put the Mustangs up by one after taking a pass from Wayne Smith. Before the period was done, the Mustangs managed to net three more powerplay goals. Lee, Armstrong and Tom Smith made the score 6-2 at the end of one. Picking up assists were Wayne Smith with two, Tom Smith, Jamie Mahler and Zimmer with one each. Kincardine started off the second period strong, scoring one goal before Clinton could get their momentum going. The Mustangs answered with four goals within seven minutes, taking the lead 10-3. Each of the four goals were scored while the Mustangs were playing short handed. Adding points to their goals column were Lee with two, Grant Garrow and Tom Smith, both scoring unassisted. Assisting on Lee's goals were Garrow and Tom Smith. Kincardine capitalized on two Clinton penalties towards the end of the second period, scoring two powerplay goals. The teams left the ice with the Mustangs leading, 10-5. The third period was not as profitable for the Mustangs as they only managed two goals towards the latter stages of the game. Scoring to give the Mustangs an on the road victory of 12-5 were Ron McKay and Zimmer. Zirruner picked up the assist on McKay's goal and scored his unassisted. Clinton 3 - Port Elgin 1 The score could have been very lopsided for the Mustangs had Port Elgin not had spectacular goaltending. As it turned out, the Mustangs still out scored their visitors, 3-1. Port Elgin scored the lone first period goal after the Mustangs controlled the majority of play. The Mustangs kept fighting back, thundering the puck off Port Elgin's goal post with only seconds remaining in the period. Dave Wright tied 'the game on a powerplay goal with a slapshot from the blue line. Assisting on the play was Brad Armstrong. Four minutes later Armstrong scored one of his own to put the Mustangs up Turn to page 15 The Clinton Junior "C" Mustangs won two of two games last weekend. They defeated Kin cardine 12-5 and then downed Port Elgin 3-1. If it wasn't for great goaltending by the Port Elgin netminder, the Mustangs could have won by much more.
