There were 24 competitors in Klock's division 136-150 lb. amateur (lyweight). He won all nine of his pulls to claim the title of Canadian champion and with this win has moved from the rank of am- ateur to professional arm wres- tler. On Oct. 29, Klock will be off to Netanya, Israel, just north of Tel Aviv. Being the only mem- ber of the Cana # i SE dian team from Rick Klock of Port Perry recently won his division at the the east side of Canada he will be meeting the other eight members of the Canadian team in London. Klock has been arm wres- thing since 1987. He entered his first tournament at the Ha- bourfront in Toronto the same year. In 1988, Klock finished sec- ond in the Canadian Amateur Championships. He lost the first place title to his twin brother Mike who went on to compete in the Worlds in Cali- fornia where he placed sixth. Klock said he got out of arm wrestling for a bit in 1989 and the early part of 1990 before getting back into the swim of things. In the summer of 1991 he anadian Arm Wrestling Championships. He will be off to Is- rool later this month to compete in the World Champlor ships. Please see story for more detalls. captured first place at the In- ternationals in the 136-150 1b. division and placed second at the Provincials. Klock pointed out that the wrestler who placed first at the Provincials was a fourth place finisher at this year's Canadian Championships. He will be up against some stiff competition in Israel in the 132-143 Ib. division. "They are expecting over 200 arm wrestlers from all over the world," Klock told the Star. The top six finishers in each division claim medallions at the World Championships. Klock is not only certain he will finish in the medals but told the Star he figures he will do well enough to finish within the top three. One difference with the World Championships and oth- er competitions Klock has en- tered is the Worlds is a sit-down competition. Klock said he has only arm wrestled standing up, but Mike Haigh, of the Port Turn to Page3 2 Canadian Tire Midgets off to a great start The Canadian Tire Midgets got off to a great start in their season opener with Millbrook in Port Perry on Wednesday, October 16th, Just seconds into the game, Andy Wilson opened the scor- ing, assisted by Todd Smart and Scott Wylie. This line clicked again with Scott scor- ing assisted by Todd and Andy, ending the period 2-1. Four goals in the second pe- riod were shared by the other forward lines with Steve De- sautels scoring twice and one each for Louis Whitfield and Jason Coutaulakis. Assisting on these were Corey Wilson with 2, Chad Garvock2, Scott Airey, Steve Desautels and Ja- son Coutoulakis one each. Late in the third period, Andy Wilson notched his sec- ond of the night assisted by Louis and Scott Airey. Mike Tripp played a super game in net coming up with several ex- cellent saves. Defense was also working well with Noah St. Amond, Mike Sluggett, Blair Pretchitko, Mark Co- sway and Lindsay Parry. Corey Wilson will be out for a while due to a leg injury sus- tained in the third period. We all wish him a speedy recov- ery! This decisive 7-2 victory was well earned and a real team effort. GAME 2 October 18, saw the boys in action in Fenelon Falls. The first period went by with neither team showing much interest in scoring. The second period saw our fellows score three goals and only one goal by the opposi- tion. Goals by Andy Wilson, Mike Williams and Louis Whitfield with assists going to Lindsay Parry, Scott Airey, Mark Cosway, Louis Whit- field and Mike Williams. Going into the third period with a 3-1 lead, our boys for- get about checking and skat- ing and as a result Fenelon Falls scored 2 goals and the game ended in a 3-3 tie. This wasn't a classic performance by the players or the officiat- ing staff. GAME #3 Saturday, October 19th, saw the Tire boys play their third game in 4 days in Haliburton. With the team hurting with 3 players out with injuries and another unable to make the trip, they needed a solid team effort and that's exactly what happened. Port opened the scoring on a nice goal by Todd Smart from Steve Desautels and Jason Coutoulakis, followed 28 sec- onds later by Scott Airey's goal when he stole the puck from a Haliburton defenceman and neatly tucked in behind the goalie. Mark Cosway scored a powerplay goal on a blistering shot from the blue- line to round out the first peri- od scoring, leading 3-0. The second and third period saw Haliburton score 2 goals. Final score 3-2 for Port Perry. Super efforts were turned in by goalies Mike Tripp and Rick Hutchinson. Congratulations fellows on a well played game. Record stands at four wins, one tie ModJacks trounce Bowmanville 11-2 Yessirree, folks. The Mo- Jacks look like they're for real this year. And who'da thunk it! They waltzed into Bowmanville Sun- day night and trounced the Ea- gles 11to2. Over the Eagles, for goodness sake. The same club that skat- ed to a 4-4 draw with the Mo- Jacks just three nights before in Port Perry. The same team that was missing five players fromits line-up in that game in- cluding Nick Dennis, the league's top scorer last year. But in Sunday's match the Eagles were at full strength, and that made the MoJacks lop- sided victory even sweeter. It was a virtual smorgasbord for the Port squad in fhe scor- ing department. Scott Erickson, assisted by Kevin Bagshaw opened the scoring parade after only one minute and 26 seconds of play. The Eagles tied it up 18 sec- onds later on a power-play goal by Dean Baumhauer from Drew Allenby and Nick Dennis. But Mike Coulson, assisted by Mark McKay and Pete Young, regained the lead, and with just three minutes and 18 seconds left in the first period, Clair Cornish picked up a pass from captain Brad Menzies and fired the puck past Chris Massey in the Bowmanville net to take a 3 to 1lead into the dressing room. The ModJacks came out flying in the second period with a goal by Kevin Bagshaw, assisted | by Pete Young, after only 58 sec- onds of play. And before the pe- Mike Coulson riod was over they scored three more unanswered goals -- Jim Vernon from Cornish, Coulson with his second of the night, as- sisted by Vernon, and Jeff Barr from Frank Kavanagh. It was 7 to 1 for the ModJacks after two periods. Chris Massey must have been suffering from shell-shock and was replaced in the third period by Geoff Smith. But he didn't fare much better. Shane Armstrong opened the third period with the Eagles second goal of the night, assist- ed by Ryan Stewart and Rob Riddell. But that wasn't all she wrote for Bowmanville. The rest of the scoring was all ModJacks --- Menzies from Cor- nish, McKay from Troy Eng- lish, Greg French unassisted, and Vernon, with his second goal of the night from Menzies. And so, the MoJacks' record in the Central Ontario Junior 'C' league now stands at four wins and a tie. Moment of Silence Before last Thursday's home game against the Eagles, a few seconds of silence was observed by players and fans in memory of Robert Burnett, a young man
