The longest drive for men and women on the number 9 hole won a barbeque. Closest to the pin for men and women on the number three hole took home a color TV. A hole -in -one on the number three would have won a sit of Ram golf clubs and a hole -in -one on the number six hole unlocked the door to a brand new Mercedes Benz car. Putting up the car as a hole -in - one prize wasn't too risky for spon- sor Mercedes Benz Credit and Mid - Ontario Freightliner. The par three hole sits 165 yards away from the tee and according to Exeter Golf Club owner Bob Mason the odds on getting a hole -in one is a,mil- lion to one. 1995 Zurich Fair Queen Rene Sweeny, 1995 Hensall Fair Queen Mcllisa Timmermans and runner up Jeanette Denyf were on hand act- ing as judges on the number six hole in order to verify any hole -in - one shots. Leonard Veri said he organized the golf tournament as a customer supplier appreciation day. "It's a public relations event. Without our customers and suppli- ers we wouldn't be in business," said Veri. The tournament concluded with a steak and lobster dinner at the club house.

Her most recent opportunity is no exception. Merner has accepted a nine month contract, coaching Finland's competitive precision skating teams starting in September. Next week Merner will fly to Helsinki where she will assume the position of head coach for Fin- land's juvenile, novice and senior skating team. She will be working with the Finnish skating team pre- paring them for national and inter- national competition next year. Merner learned about the position through her friend Wendy DeGraff, a precision skating coach from Brampton who has been working vfith the Finnish teams for the last three years. It wasn't the lure of travel that prompted this 25 -year-old to accept the position. After all, during her tours with Rhapsody On Ice and the Ice Capades, Merner has per- formed in places such as China, Hawaii, Australia and New Zea- land. Instead, it was the challenge of coaching the highly talented group of skaters which make up Finland's best skaters. "This was an opportunity i cotitdn't turn down, I'm fortunate to be able to coach a high calibre nkat' ing team," she said. Precision skating is a dynamic sport that involves a group of skat- ers who perform choreographed routines to music. The skaters perform in unison, executing intricate footwork and a variety of manoeuvres and forma- tions. It utilizes both technical and artistic elements similar to figure skating. When Merner was offered the coaching job she turned it down at first. She was happy coaching at the skating club in Exeter and was just getting settled in after rooming from the Ice Capades. "At first I said no. i travelled with the Ice Capades for five years and that part of my life was over. If it was an offer for an ice show I wouldn't have considered it but it's a coaching opportunity," she said. Merner admits the hardest part of making her decision was saying good bye to her students. "Each skater is precious to me. I've come so far with them over the last two years. it was so hard for me to explain why I was leaving, especially to the younger kids," said Merner who made an effort to personally say goodbye to all of her students. "But 1 will be back next season to pick up where I left off." Although Merner hasn't found a replacement coach for her students at the skating clubs, her friend De - Graff has dffered to put a routine together for the junior team. A considerable help for Merner who only had about a week to pack and didn't want to leave her stu- dents hanging while the search for a replacement coach goes on. Merner said the pressure will be solely on her to lead the Finnish teams through two qualifying com- petitions, one in November, the other in December to make the na- tionals in February. If her teams do well in the inter- nationals the next stop is at the worlds to be. held in Boston this year. "For me, taking a team to the worlds is the ultimate. 1 want to train that team good enough to qualify for the worlds," she said. After her season wtlh the Finnish skaters is over, Merner will return to Canada and continue coaching. "I'm going to learn so much over there, I'm lookinf forward to bringing it back to toy skaters and hopefully start a competitive pre- cision skating team in Exeter." She feels it won't be long before precision skating is inducted into the Olympics and when it does, Merner will ready to lace up her skates and pack her suitcase.
