A dull roar _The World Championship celebrations have settled down to a dull roar at the' Penetang Club and the members are getting their lives back into order. One of the rites of spring is cleaning out one's locker. - Another is taking part in the last bonspiel of the year, the Adams. This year Adams drew a full slate of twenty four rinks, they played two games each over two evenings. On Wednesday evening the one game winners assembled for the finals. The John Moreau rink of his wife Loraine at vice, Lloyd Far- quhar second, and Jacqueline Kirby at lead, committed an act of curlocide on a rink who shall remain nameless to protect the helpless. -On a nearby sheet Jerry Light and his ac- complices inflicted indecent grocery on another rink whose names will be witheld to protect the innocent. For Jerry, Laureen Moreau was at lead, Norbert Derouches at second, and Ed Pearson was vice. John Moreau will be able to put his Adams with his Legion trophy for company. It's been a memorable year for the Penetang Club, due largely to the skill and ef- forts of Ted Ross President, Bill Howard Icemaker (he also makes good curlers) and Manager Ron Bellisle, who has provided great hospitality in a year that must have been very trying for him. Silver Broom Sweepings A reception committee, plus ten pipers from. the Legion, booked a P.M.C.L. bus to meet Russ, Glenn, Tim and Kent when they returned to Pearson Airport from the World's Championships. They arrived at the airport about thirty minutes before the plane so, naturally, they retired to the Airport lounge to sink a noggin or two. It was a dignified en- trance. If they had not have been ringing cow bells, waving Penetang banners, and mar- ching to the pipes, you would have never known that they were there. When they tried to pay for their drinks the waitress informed them that the gent at the end of the bar had paid their bill. It must have been a hefty bill, the pipers would have been downing drams for a start. The lady known as Bee Jay, (publicity director extradordinair) approach- ed the gent to thank him. He explained that he was a prospector and had just returned from the north where he had struck a rich vein and he wanted to share his good fortune with the good folks of Penetang. Then he pro- mptly stood another round. The story sounds too good to be true but I heart it from the Club President himself and he has never lied to me before. Actually, I don't care whether it is true or not, this is the stuff that legends are made of and I am writing a sports report not Hansard. Come to think of it my stuff has to _be more truthful than Hansard. Welcoming Banner A bus load of fans from Midland and Penetanguishene paraded around Pearson In- ternational Airport awaiting the arrival of the Russ Howard rink from Vancouver.

Our first game was Friday night against Stouffville, the defen- ding "D Division" Champions. When the dust cleared Stouffville came away with an 8-5 vic- tory. The second game was a 9-2 loss to Huron Park, a team who eventually played for the championship, but we have yet to hear the results of that game. The Huron Park game was tied 2-2 going into the third period when the roof caved in on the Petras, with seven unanswered Huron Park goals. While the Petras came up empty in our first attempt at a provincial crown, we look on it as a valuable learning experience. + -- on a display at the airport. The curlers were quite impressed with the greeting they got as they disembarked from their flight from Van- couver where they had just won the World Curling Championship. to the annual Bay Mills Spiel championship.

Norway in first game The Petras will wrap up the season this weekend, by participating in the Brampton Canadettes 20th Annual Tournament. This prestigious tourney is billed as the largest female hockey tournament in the world, this year featuring 166 teams in 16 divisions from all over the world. The powers that be in the O.W.H.A. have picked the Petras to represent, if you will, On- tario and will play host to Norway in their first game. O.W.H.A. rep, Wendy McConnell stated that this honour is usually bestowed on older, more established teams, so the O.W.H.A. must be duly impressed by the P.M.L.H.L. organization, to give this honour to a three year old team. We, the Petras are very eager for our first taste of international hockey, and to say we are ecstatic is an understatement. Other teams in the '"'D Division" with the Petras are; Garden City, Michigan; Stoneham Unicorns, Massachusetts; Philadelphia Roadrunners, Pennsylvania; Ironbound, New Jersey; Podium St. Hyacinthe Quebec; Holland, and Valerengen, Norway. The tournament takes place Thursday night April 16, through Sunday April 19 at the Meadowvale Four Rinks. The Petras first game is Friday at 6 p.m. vs. Norway on Rink A. To get there take the 401 west to Mississauga Road. Turn left (south) on Mississauga to the second set of lights. Go right on Argentina Road to Torquay Mews (the first corner) and turn left to arena. Marauders burn up track Behind two new Georgian Bay Indoor Meet records, Midland Secondary School Marauders placed second to a very power- ful Orillia District Collegiate and Vocational Institute team at last Tuesday's meet at York University. Fourteen athletes qualified for the new tri meet between Georgian Bay, York and Durham Counties. The qualifiers are: midget girls, Tracy Dollimount and Jennifer Young; midget boys, John Richardson and Jon Poole; junior girls, Jennifer Currie and Joanne Wat- son; junior boys, Mike Player, Brent Price and Rob Lee; senior boys, Andrew Burgher, Ed Richardson, Brad Price, Jeff Bell and John Gibson. : Brad Price, suffering from allergies for the last three weeks, went out and won both the senior boys triple and long jumps, establishing a new Georgian Bay record in the long jump with a leap, of 6.61 metres. John Richardson, not to be outdone, won the midget boys 50 metre, came second in the triple jump, and set a new record in the long jump of 6.28 metres. Other outstanding performances were turned in by Jon Poole who won the midget boys pole vault, placed second in the 1500 metre and third in the 300. Ed Richardson finished first in the 50m and second in both the senior boys high jump and long jump. The senior boys relay team of Andrew Burgher, John Richardson, Jeff Bell and Ed Richardson blew everyone away by four seconds. The great effort put out by the athletes and the excellent results point to a great track and field season at MSS. Tuesday, April 14, 1987, Page 13
