An area skater was on "Cloud 9" last Tuesday evening at the Seaforth arena. .Eighteen -year-old Melissa Timmermans. of RR 2 Staffa got a free lesson from one -of the best in the business - Seaforth's Lloyd Eisler, a.for- mcr World pairs champion and two-time Olympic bronze medalist. She got the one-hour lesson with Lloyd as_ a birthday pre- sent last 'spring. Her parents,. John and Ruth. bought it at this year's second -annual auction organized by Huron Centennial School's Parent Council. It raised about $1.5.1(X) for assorted projects. such as books and a new hall diamond for the J3rucefield public school: Melissa- was so pumped up she Lound it difficult to.sleep the. night before last week's hig Icsson, and Lloyd did not disappoint. She says she learned all kinds of little hut important stuff. Timmcnnans is no newcomer to the sport. She has been into the figure skating whirl for_thc_last decade. since she was eight - years -old, and is 'now regular- ly coachcrj by Kathy Mcrncr of the Exeter Figure Skating Club. Timmermans is entering her OAC year at Mitchell District High School. She is now looking for a partner for pairs or ice dancing in her future. FIVE MORE YEARS As for Eisler, a professional skater for the past two years. Normally he takes eight weeks away from the grind in the summer, but this year two fewer. He says he has-been on holidays at a cottage near Huntsville, relaxing and stay4 ing in shape with a little golf and nothing much more - a bit of this and that. Eisler, now 33, says hev hopes to skate professionally for another five years, then pack it in. He doesn't have a clue what he will then do next, perhaps get into the marketing end of figure. skat- ing or sports in -general. He says it may prove inter- esting not having anything specific to do when retire- ment rolls around.

Sqn: Thamesford Trojans at SEAFORTH, 8 p.m. He enjoys teaching and giv- ing the odd lesson here and there, but adds coaching full- time would•require a "110 per cent focus," which isn't how he sees his future unfolding right now. Just because you're a good skater doesn't mean you'll make a good coach, Eisler says. NO CHANGE Eisler's partner, Isabelle Brasseur of Quebec, got mar- ried this summer and was still on her honeymoon when he passed through Seaforth last week. Both have lived and trained in Montreal for many years but Brasseur is now moving to the United States with her husband, which will require Lloyd and Isabelle to become more organized as a pair. "There will be no change in. our relationship or our skat- ing," Lloyd says. . The biggest adjustment since turning pro two years ago has been learning to live with the constant travelling. he says.. is. spend .year.
