Leisure Centre.

Come-back on Cowichan killed by clock

The Peninsula Atom Rep Eagles
hockey team posted an unexpected
loss Saturday but bounced back
the next day to defeat the top
up-Island team.

“Eagles’ coach Murray Kosick
said his team tured in an inspired

performance Sunday to outgun,

high-flying Parksville 7-4.
Stinging from a 6-4 loss to
Cowichan, the Eagles played an

aggressive hard-skating game to

show. the visitors their mettle.

Despite dominating the play
early on, the Peninsula team fell
behind 2-0, Kosick said.

Undaunted, the Eagles intensi-
fied the pressure to level the score
before Parksville took a 3-2 lead
once again just before the break.

Ryan Tilden and Mark Camp-
bell each scored for the Eagles.

Great goaltending by Parkville’s
last line of defence played a major
role in keeping the game very
competitive, Kosick said.

“But in the second period we
continued to dominate and with
more hard-skating, the kids began
to capitalize on their opportuni-
ties,” he said.

Three unanswered goals — two
from Danny Draggert and a single
from Campbell — put the Eagles
in charge in the second period, he
said.

But the driving force behind for
the Eagles’ termific comeback was
the hard work of Blake Munroe

and Greg Gerrich.

“Both played terrific, forecheck-
ing and backchecking very well,
nullifying Parksville’s attacks:

_ And they also created many scor-

ing chances,” Kosick said.

The strong defensive work of
Sean Owens and Jame Pollock
also helped muzzle the visitors’
offensive potential, he said.

An evener third period saw the
Eagles once again outscore Parks-
ville, this time by 2-1 to ensure
themselves a convincing victory.

Gerrich and Mark Kosick were
the two Peninsula goalscorers in
the last period.

Saturday night’s performance
was not one of the Eagles’ best,
partly due to the fact that some of
the players were still weak from a
recent bout of influenza, Kosick
said.

A fired-up Cowichan team got

battle to: 6-4 victory after taking a
first-period 5-0 lead.

“We hit the post three times in
the first period and whatever we
did we just couldn’t get it into the
back of the net,” he said.

After looking flat in the second
period, when Cowichan went
ahead 6-0, the Eagles found the
spark of inspiration they were
looking for late in the third period.

A single goal led to a dramatic

comeback that saw the Eagles pin’ -

Having beaten Cowie in the
last five match-ups, the Eagles
seemed like they were going to
pull the rabbit out of the hat once
again, he said.

A barrage of shots gave the
Eagles four unanswered goals “but
we were beaten by the clock,”
Kosick said.

The Burden of Proof by Scott Turow

|| Harper Collins. Hardcover. 515 pages. $27.95
| Presumed Innocent, Scott Turow’s first crime novel, on the New
York Times pesteeller for forty-four weeks, sold over five million |

| copies.

1 His encore, The Sader of Proof, is another whodunit. Alejandro
| Stern, the defense lawyer from Presumed Innocent, comes home
from work to find that Clara, his wife of thiny years, has mysteriously
committed suicide. Even as he mourns, Stern is drawn back to the
law — as defender of his financial buccaneer brother-in-law who Is
the subject of a federal investigation.

Turow’s basic challenge is to keep the plot twists coming fast
enough to hook readers on the book's unsolved mysteries. After a
series of these twists we finally discover, among other things, why
Clara ended her own life: she had herpes.

It may be presumed innocent, but in these days of fatal social
diseases, am | seriously expected to believe a person would kill
herself over a case of cold sores?

Turow employs several strategies in an attempt to make this a

literary” suspense novel. The first ts to faithfully recreate a
numbingly complex milieu — the commodity future market in
Chicago. The details of buying and selling pork belly contracts,
E}) however, are confusing, and, most of the time, uninspiring.

1 Another strategy, exploration of character, is where the author runs —
F into real trouble. The Creative Writer in him takes over during these
|| interludes, so when Stern falls in love, Turow writes, his “blood |
F. carried an electrical charge;” when disappointed In love he is “up to
is chin in the heavy glop of something like heartbreak, which held
im fast as quicksand.” People lying on lawn chairs this summer
ooking for a “good read” are also likely to be disappointed.
