Results from the Canoe the Nonquon Story and Photos by Julia Dempsey Port Perry Star More than 150 people partici- pated in the 24th running of the Canoe the Nonquon race held on Saturday. The pace was fast and furious at the starting line where offi- cials Yvonne Christie, Don Fos- ter and Penny Pettypiece start- ed more than 20 teams within the first 25 minutes. Before it was all over, 76 teams of canoeists launched their crafts into the murky wa- ters of the Nonquon River under the Old Simcoe Street bridge at Concession 10. One competitor told the Port Perry Star the canoeists were challenged by numerous beaver dams and "mosquitos the size of small geese", but the obstacles didn't dampen the spirits of those participating. The following are the results in the various classes: RECREATIONAL CLASS 1st, Steve deHass and Rob Page of Scugog Township - 2:36:03; 2nd, Phyllis and Bob Wild of Huntsville - 2:40:39; 3rd Rudi and Gail Jammer of Black- stock - 2:47:54. Forty-five canoes were en- tered in the class. DeHass and Page finished second in the men's class in '91, and the Wilds and the Jammers placed first and second respec- tively in the couples class last year. 17 AND UNDER 1st, Richie Tripp and Graham Holt of Scugog Township - 1:52:67; 2nd, Luke Newman and Scott Heffern of Scugog Township - 2:01:14; 3rd, Marc Matthews and Keley Akiyama of Scugog Township - 2:01:26.

Events like the Canoe the Nonquon Race and the Non- quon Triathlon wouldn't be pos- sible without the hard work and dedication of many tireless vol- unteers. This year 126 people worked as volunteers and helped make the day a success.
