Door prizes & refreshm ents Location: Glen Abbey Rec Centre, Room B 1415 Third Line, Oakville Date & Time: Saturday, August 18th, l:00-4:00pm `Horns will play for unprecedented ninth NFC championship Saturday against Mississauga Wolverines By Neil Becker SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER Three things you can count on are death, taxes and the O akville Longhorns w inning the N orthern Football Conference (NFC) championship. The M ississauga W olverines, however, will attempt to remove one of the above items from the list this Saturday, 6 p.m. at Bronte Field in Oakville, as they try to come between the Oakville Longhorns and what would be an amazing ninth straight NFC championship. It appears to be a match made in heaven as they were clearly the top two teams in the nine-team NFC through out the regular season. The `Horns finished a perfect 8-0 to record their 10th straight first place finish (the first year o f that string was a tie), and last weekend easily fended off their semifinal challenge 31-0 over Sault Storm (5-3).' The Wolverines, one o f a pack o f five new teams to enter the league this year, were nearly as good, with a 7-1 regular season record, their only loss at the hands of the `Horns, 38-7. And they, not quite as easily, won their semifinal chal lenge 24-15 over the third place North Bay Bulldogs (62 ).

W onderful m em ories of those so d e ar T reasu red still with a love sincere In our hearts they are living yet W e loved them too dearly to forget Love alw ays, M om (G ra n d m a), Jim, S herry, & E m m a After a sluggish first quarter, the Horns got their offence on track early in the second quarter, as running back Derwin Phillips put on the afterburners and ran for a 77- yard touchdown. Getting on the board energized the Horns and the bois terous fans on this sweltering night, as Oakville turned it up, both offensively and defensively. That was evident when Oakville got possession of the ball after a Storm fumble, and capped off the ensuing series with a 23-yard Mike Dingsdale touchdown recep tion. The hard work led to a 21-yard touchdown by wide receiver Colin Alie, in the last minute of play in the first half, to give the `Horns a 21-0 lead at the half. The `Horns coasted to victory in the second half, the highlight being a fourth quarter fumble recovery by Brett Fitzpatrick which he ran in 16 yards for the T.D., giving the `Horns a 30-0 lead at the time. Sandwiched around the lone second half major was a two-point safety touch in the third quarter, credited to Vince Rinella, which put the `Horns up 23-0, and a onepoint safety off the kick-off by place kicker Dana Segin to close out the scoring at 31 -0. Segin, the NFC regular sea son scoring leader, converted all four touchdowns. Part o f the winning recipe o f the Longhorns is that, like any good team, they use the entire bench and believe in keeping everyone sharp, focused and well rested to per form at peak levels. "The second, third and fourth (stringers) are on the field in the game -- everybody plays," said coach Molnar. And they never take success for granted, which is a good thing, since everyone's trying to knock them off, being the champs. "Sure, everybody wants us," said quarterback Mark Demerling. "Every game no matter who w e're playing is tough for us. We can't afford to make the mental mis takes." W ith the Longhorns primed for the finals, and enjoying the intoxication o f winning and continuing to build up a rich team tradition, Demerling pointed out a key trend that the Horns hope will continue in their quest this weekend for making sports history. "Since 1979, whoever had home field advantage has won, with the exception of 1990, when we (Longhorns) won in Sudbury 13-12," he said. Meanwhile, coach M olnar is enjoying the fruits o f win ning championships, and taking a realistic attitude that eventually there will be a down period. "Nothing lasts forever," he conceded. "We go through changes with guys moving on." As for next weekend's title defence, he predicted it will be "tough; physical and close. "Special teams will decide it. There is a lot o f pressure going for nine in a row." For only $5, come out and enjoy an exciting evening: watch the Longhorns attempt to make history in the NFC championships this Saturday night in Oakville.

As a young man, he spent time during World War II with the RCMP and the Royal Canadian Air Force. His business career spanned more than thirty-five years, the final thirty in progressively responsible positions with the Travelers Insurance Company, first in Montreal, and latterly in Toronto. He retired in 1982 as a Vice President. He was a loyal employee, and is recalled by many med and women seeking advancement for his warmth, support and encouragement.

S pe cia l th a nks to the sta ff on F lo o r 4 -W e s t at Oakville-Trafalgar M emorial Hospital. Also to our friends and family for their support during our time of sadness. With sincere thanks, Helen, Ian, Dee and Brendan. To Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital - 4 East Thanks does indeed seem very insufficient! We have been amazed by and so very appreciative of the manner in which you have supported our mother, grandm other and us throughout her illness. The kindness and com passion, the extra gestures that went far beyond the required duties of your job - and all this when we knew that you were dealing with an over-whelming workload - have touched our family deeply. When we recall her final days, I know that we w ill always remember how the staff of this floor have helped make a frig h te n in g and lo n e ly tim e , an experience of hope and meaning. We simply cannot commend you enough for such a measure of sincere caring, and can only wish that each of you w ill in turn someday be the recipient of like kindness. The family of Norma Anderson · the quarterfinal game -- 7-1 over local favourite Projoy Roadrunners from Florida. · the semifinal game -- 4-1 in a rematch with EPH Tour Rangers · and the championship game -- 32 over Goodsports, Bad Apples from New Jersey, who were seeded first after the preliminary round (Oakville was seeded fourth). The New Jersey team were also undefeated heading into the champi onship game. The Coyotes strong penalty killing when down by two men late in the game was pivotal in the win. Goaltending was outstanding, the duties split by Will Daigneault and Cam Crawford. They also shared the Top Goalie Sward with the best team save percent age of 96 per cent. "I always believed in them and they proved they could do it," said coach Dante Miconi The Oakville team played the best hockey they had played all season. No matter what the opposing teams threw at them they continued to play their strong .disciplined style and every player stepped up when it counted. It was a very proud captain Alex Pryde who when he accepted the Winners Cup kissed it and raised it high above his head surrounded by the guys who had made it happen. "After a season of ups and downs, we set our sights on a win in this tour nament and that's what we got," remarked the captain. "The success in Florida was a prod uct of the combined best effort from our players. The win was for both our selves and for Canada." The celebration on the beach that night was not only for the Gold Medal and the Top Goalies Award, but also for Jessie DeLucia who during the skills competition won the Top Sniper Award, beating out 37 other shooters and getting the puck past 19 goalies. "This is the biggest thing that's ever happened to us," said Halton Roller Hockey ow ner/operator Jay Labelle. "It's an exceptional achieve ment that makes me feel on top of the world. "The fact that these players have another year in bantam makes it even more exciting. We haven't seen the last of these guys." Added coach Miconi: "I want to thank the Oakville Coyotes for the time and effort they put into the team. Without their devotion to the sport, we would not have gone as far as we did in the NARCh finals. "Also, I'd like the parents to know that they were very much a-part of what made the Coyotes a winning team. Without their emotional and financial commitment, we would not have been able to go to Florida. Thank you, we couldn't have done it without you." Oakville won their semifinal game 4-1 in a hard fought rematch with EPHTour Rangers. "We wanted to get off to a quick start and score the first goal," said coach Miconi. "We had no idea that Tyler Legein would fire one into the top comer after only seven seconds. It was a huge goal." Oakville had a little easier time of it in their quarterfinal, blasting local Projoy Roadrunners 7-1. You could say the Coyotes finally caught the Roadrunner. Coach Miconi remarked that their opening 3-3 tie, after leading by two goals late in the game, turned out to be a timely wake-up call. "They learned their lesson in the first game -- the tie was a blessing in disguise," said coach Miconi. "I told them this was their tournament to win." Team members are Alex Pryde, Tyler Legein, Cam Foley, Jason Miconi, Nick Randall, Jesse DeLucia, Ryan Donnelly, Jason Bebawy and goalies Will Daigneault and Cam Crawford. Coach Dante Miconi and assistants Bryan Pryde and Gary Randall. The tournament draws teams from across North America, as well as teams from as far away as Japan and England.

MINDENHALL, CPPO MANAGER OF PURCHASING SERVICES Toyz R Us was acquired four years ago in Europe. Looking back on her accomplishments, she was a modestly priced investment, noted Henselwood. "I got a call four years ago from Paul and Emil Hendrix. They are the ones that scouted out Big Ben initially. Ian Millar is my coach and mentor and I was fortunate enough to have him accompany me to Europe to look at this mare. "I bought her after we had watched her jump. She had two foals by this time and wasn't jumping really high but had the desire to go higher. She entered her first Grand Prix event two y ears ago. She's a real trier. The course was difficult today but one of her many attributes is that she is a careful horse. She gives me 150 per cent all the time. Henselwood and Toyz R Us are scheduled to make their next stop in Collingwood and plan to return to Hendervale Equestrian Complex in O ctober for the $60,000 Autumn Invitational Grand Prix. FRIDAY NIGHT CLASSIC Friday night's sixth annual $25,000 Gerling Canada Insurance Classic, featuring 36 riders, was a one-man show, swept by Canadian rider Eric Lamaze. Lamaze, on his three different mounts, swept the class with a onetwo-three victory. Millcreek's Raphael was E ric's prem ier m ount while Rosina, owned by Eric's wife, Megan, took home second and Chardo was third. Ian M illar also had two mounts advance to the eight horse jum p off. THURSDAY NIGHT CLASSIC Aboard Aftershock, a nine-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding, the pair posted the only flawless round in cap turing the $10,000 inaugural Merrill Lynch Open Stakes. Although far from M illar's biggest victory, the elated rider took pride in calling co-owner Bobby Taylor. "It was a great pleasure for me to call my partner last night. This horse is homebred. Both his mother and father were previous Grand Prix mounts for me. Mrs. Taylor raised this horse for us." Second and third place were claimed by Darren Graziano riding Kinetic and Sheila Burke aboard Jamison, respectively, each with four faults.
