'Stangs see -saw weekend games
Over the weekend of December 6 and 7,
the Clutton Junior "D" Mustangs played
two away games, tieing Exeter 5-5 and los-
ing to Brussels 6-4.
The Exeter game, on December 5, was a
penalty filled affair with Exeter drawing 47
penalty minutes while Clinton drew 40 of
their own.
Clinton fell behind early in the first period
when Exeter's Jeff Ansems popped one in
the net on passes from Dan Nairn and Scott
Louie.
The second period proved to be Clinton's
as they scored four goals to Exeter's two.
Marc Clausius started the Mustangs off
when he scored at the 4:25 mark off passes
front Jeff Vincent and Mark LaPorte.
Later in the period Clinton scored two
quick power play goals to give them a 3-2
lead. Bob Ladd from Ron McKay and
Wayne Smith were responsible for the first
goal, while Randy Marriage netted the se-
cond. Assisting on the Marriage goal were
LaPorte and Clausius.
However, Exeter bounced back at the
18:07 mark with a power play goal of their
own to tie up the game.
With just 57 seconds left in the second
period Ladd popped in a short handed goal
to give the iead back to the Mustangs.
Marriage put Clinton ahead by two with 14
seconds gone in the third period, but the lead
did not hold as Exeter came back with two
of their own fc;r the tie.
The Mustangs were at the disadvantage
before their December 7 game against
Brussels as they had only 10 players in
attendance.
Although Marriage put one in for Clinton
in the first period on a short handed goal,
Brussels was able to net three to give them
the 3-1 lead. Assisting on the short handed
goal was John Scruton.
In the second period the Mustangs were
able to put three in the net compared to
Brussel's two, giving their opponents a 5-4
lead at the end of two.
Scoring for Clinton in the second period
were Ron McKay from Ladd, Rob Dupee
with an unassisted goal, and Marriage from
Dupee.
Unfortunately for the Mustangs they were
unable to score in the third period while
Brussels put in one more, giving them the
6-4 win.

placed the puck into the net. The next goal of
the period would go to Jason Carter. Jason
Fleet got an assist on the play. The third
goal of the game would again go to Clinton
as Jeff DeRuyter flipped the puck into the
net. Scott Rathwell got the assist. The final
goal of the first period was at 4:19 when

received a pass and shot the puck into the
corner of the net. The assists on the play
were given to Scott Jewitt and Chris
Johnson.
It was quiet for awhile in the second
period until Jason Carter scored his second
c;aal of the night to make it 5-0. Jason Fleet

Disappointing
I'd like to begin this week's space with
an apology. Last week I made the major
mistake of thoroughly ignoring the Op-
timist Bantam Tournament on the sports
pages, but hopefully I can make up for it
this week.
Unfortunately for the Optimists, this
year's tournament was not overly suc-
cessful. According to the tournament
chairman Greg Burns, "There was not
much money to be made." He said this
was due predominantly to attendance, but
many small things built up to add to the
failure.
While he hadn't yet seen the final figures
for the two weekends, he had heard from
his treasurer that things weren't too great.
"The first weekend sounded like they did
all right, but the second weekend was a
flop, other than the hockey on the ice," Mr.
Burns explained.
In the first weekend the Optimists were
only down approximately $75 from 1985. In
1985 they made $2,000 in gate receipts for
the first weekend. Mr. Burns noted, "We'll
be lucky to. have grossed $1,000 for this
year's second weekend." He added that he
imagined last year's tournament may
have been one of the best, profit wise.
While profit figures will be down for this
year, he expects they will make about
$2,000 from the tournament after gate
receipts, breakfast money and donations
from businesses are kicked in.
Mr. Burns listed a number of different
reasons why less money was made this
year. The first he gave was there were no
Friday night games in the second weekend
as there have been in past years. In
previous years the Optimists didn't have
Saturday morning ice time, so games had
to be played on Friday's.
"It must have made some difference,
with eight teams coming in Friday," Mr.
Burns said, adding that the extra Friday
would bring in $300 or $400.
A higher amount of prizes were also
awarded, Mr. Burns explained, as each
player in the tournament was given a pin
this year. Henoted, "We raised the gate -
prices to cover the pins, but I guess it
didn't work."
Finally, donations from local businesses
were also down, adding to the loss of funds.
Mr. Burns guessed they may have been
down by about $500. He blamed this drop
on the fact that the Optimists • that were
supposed to meet on the canvass day to
gather the funds did not show up, and add-
ed that after the tournament he was ap-
proached by local business people who
wanted to know why their donations
weren't collected.
"All of these little things add up to big
things," Mr. Burns explained.
Although the tournament did not run as
well as expected, Mr. Burns asked me to •
pass on his thanks to all of the sponsors,
trophy donators and local businesses for
their contributions.
The following is a list of all the winners
in the tournament and their division: St.
Marys, A; Petrolia, A consolation;
Dresden, C; Ridgetown, C consolation;
Dorchester, D; Drayton, D consolation;
Owen Sound, AA; Waterloo, AA consola-
tion; Mount Brydges, B; Walkerton, B
consolation.
It should also be noted that the Clinton
Bantams made it to the C division cham-
pionship where they lost 6-1 to Dresden.
Recreation anyone°
At their meeting on December 11 the
Clinton Recreation Committee discussed
the fact that they may have to replace a
few of their members.
As it now stands, three of the members'
terms are coming to an end. These
members are Dan Colquhoun, Steve Gibb-
ings and Barb Crawford. Also to be replac-
ed is Linda Reid, who resigned earlier in
the year as she was attending night school.
Clinton Town Clerk Marie Jefferson
pointed out to the committee that the
mayor would like at least two applicants
for each job. Therefore, at least five new
applicants are needed for the committee.
I checked with the recreation director,
Steve Campbell, to see what experience is
necessary for the job.
"The only criteria is you have to be a
resident of the town and of voting age," he
said.
Steve said that since the positions are
not paid ones, the committee can't force
people to make the committment'to stay,
but they would like any new members to
make such a committment.
Anyone interested in applying for a posi-
tion on the recreation committee should
contact the clerk's office at Box 400 by
January 1.
In other business at the meeting, the
committee agreed to renew their member-
ship to the Canadian Parks and Recreation
Association with an $80 payment.
come from behind win
LISTOWEL - On December 5 the Clinton
Pee Wee A's travelled to Listowel to play
Elma Logan and defeated them 6-4.
This was their second out of three
meetings. Clinton lost the first game by a
score of 6-3.
Elrna Logan took an early 1-0 lead at
around the two minute mark on a goal by
Peter Mulder. At 8:06 of the first period they
scored again and this tirne their captain,
Matt Coghlin, got the goal.
With 3:25 left in the fiat period Clinton
took control of the game. Forward Jason
Fleet took a pass from Matt Townsend to
•
pull within a goal.
In the second period, w!.th just over a
minute gone, Clinton deferlceman Scott
Rathwell made a good rush, resulting in
Clinton's second goal.
The rest of the second period passed
without scoring until Derek Kootstra notch-
ed the go-ahead goal for Clinton in a goal
mouth scramble. Scott Jewitt drew an assist
on the play.
Scott Rathwell got the insurance goal in
the third period for Clinton, ending any
chances for an Elma Logan comeback.
