Most skaters will agree, mastering these two ele- ments is difficult on one's own. Mastering these skills with a part- ner is even more challenging. But, for Jenalyn Balker, 11, and esse Sturdy, 13, it's a challenge prey are willing to take. r Baker and Sturdy are the Exeter Figure Skating Club's only com- petitive pair skaters. The two have only been skating to- gether for one year and they late already tuming heads among figure skating ci ithitn skdted ' 1 cor)`i petitively three' times performing in Mooretown, Itratford and In- gersoll Surpris- ingly, they finished second in Mooretown, e first time they per- f9tmed together in competition. 'ther one of , them red skating with a p -artuer until their coach John Bauman suggested • they give it a try at the beginning of the sea- son. Considering Stur- dy was the only boy in the club, Bauman didn't want him to feel isolated and thought he might feel more comfortable with a partner. "They are a pretty good match for their size and pet- sonality. They've done really well; said Bauman adding he will work on igcreasing the pair's dif- ficulty level next season. Sturdy said he never thought'be' would be skating in pairs when he first took' up figure skating two years Ago but he feels it was a good move. pairs skating was a good idea. Af- ter skating solo for three years she feels learning to skate with a part- ner has taken her skating to a high- er level. "I don't get as nervous when there's someone there beside me," said Baker. They both agree timing and communication are ' the two most im- portant elements when skating in pairs. Both must ex- ecute their moves in perfect tinting or else they won't be in unison and both must be Ji flu 'l.= awe. ltd,. corn_ NHL Oldtimers will play in Hensall Saturday IIENSALL - The finishing touch- es are being planned for Hensall Arena's biggest event of the yrar - the NHL Oldtimers Game. The former NHL pros roll into the village on Saturday, March 23 Oldtimers from Hensall, Hay and Zurich will be testing their talents against the likes of Mike Pelyk (To- ronto Maple Leafs), Bob Lorimer (New York Islanders), Dick Red- mond (Chicago), Andy Bathgate (New York Rangers), Dean Pren- tice (Boston/Detroit), and many more. The Hensall Parks Board took on the project as a special event of the Hay Days Sesquicentennial Cele- brations. Work began last summer, with the Hay Days Committee making initial contact with the NHL's booking agent. Since then, a lot of ground has been covered in planning the event. The Board was eager tbtake the opportunity to showcase- the Vil- lage of Hensall, as well as the talent of local hockey players. Initial reac- tion to the event has been quite pos- itive, both with business sponsor- ship and with advance ticket sales. The talent to be featured the eve- ning of March 23, is not limited to +ilii• "hi1itliditedttthlg'ti PeiPontt ce to' let each other know if' there is a sudden change in the middle of a routine. "In freeskate you can change your solo at the last minute but you can't with a partner. If you feel you can't do a jump you have to let your partner know because you both have to do the same. thing," Sturdy said. Sturdy, has no• trouble lifting Baker up above' the ice and they . feel their high, and con- fident lifts is what ' earned them sec- ond place in the ! Mooretown competi- tion. Death spirals and throw ' axles are the two most difficult pieces they incorporate in their you - nes as both can be po- tentially dangerous if not executed properly. How- ever; Sturdy admits he has the easy part. "AII. I have to do is pick her up and throw her. She [Baker] is the one that has to do the axle," he said. "It's harder for her techtucally,. but it's hard on me Mentally because if something goes wrong I feel it's my fault." • • But nothing has gone wrong and their perfor autce tin the ice is pressive. With the first and most. difficult year behind them Baker and Sturdy plan on skating together *at 'season to build on what they have learned so far. 'We're both getting better every intoe we're.on the Ice," they said. "I started figure skating lessons Jest to improve my hockey," said Sturdy who credits his figure skat- ing for making him a bettor ice hockey skater. Sturdy still plays hockey at the Peewee level In Ooderich. "I like both [forma cif skating] but I think I can go further with figure skating," he added.
