..The Islanders sweep and the Oilers weep". The sign
hanging in Nassau Coliseum best exemplified the
Islanders four game domination of the Edmonton
Oilers.
The difference in the series was defence, primarily
the goaltending of Billy Smith. He was up. He was
down. Smith was everywhere the Oilers shot. Acting
like a man possessed, Smith swatted the Edmonton
crew out of the vicinity of the net like they were pesky
insects.
The Edmonton press came down on Smith like a hard
core criminal. The Edmonton Journal labelled their
front page with the heading "Public Enemy Number
One" in spite of Smith.
It's ironic that in the final game of the series Smith
drew Glenn Anderson into taking a five minute penalty
for slashing, while in Edmonton Smith was accused of
slashing both Gretzky and Anderson. In this case Smith
gets the last laugh. Anderson was parked on the lip of
the crease during an Edmonton powerplay in the third
period when the incident occurred. Anderson's stick
grazed Smith, sending the latter into a 9.5 dive toward
an Academy Award. Referee Andy VanHellemond saw
the "incident" and signalled a five minute major to
Anderson for slashing, intent to injure.
In an interview with Hockey Night in Canada Smith
said that he though the people in Canada would be
"turn'in over in their beds" when they found out that
he had won the Conn Smythe trophy for the Most
Valuable Player in the playoffs. He called his dive "a
chapter out of Gretzky's book." His final words in the
interview were "1 just want the people in Canada to
know, two can play at thatgame."
In any case Smith did a class job in the nets for the
four time Stanley Cup winners. He was the difference
in the series.
Everybody's asking the question, "What happened to
that Gretzky magic?" In the series Gretzky was held
scoreless and picked up only four assists. A tremen-
dous team effort is what happened to the wonder kid.
Once across the Islander blueline, the New York team
swarmed to Gretzky like bees to honey. They cut down
the Oiler passing up the middle and cleared out the slot
( with the help of Smith's goal stick ). •
Thanks to the Islanders sweep over Edmonton, Rod's
Report on Sports finishes the playoffs with a 12-3
record.
In the summer months look for my predictions of the
CFI. race and the World Series.

te club stresses
When walking throu the
doors at the Goderich
Township gymnasium on
Monday and Wednesday
nights, be sure you're
prered for the workout
your life. The people in the
gym on these nights aren't
here for basic push-ups, sit-
ups and stride -jumps,
they're here to learn the
Martial Arts.
First of all, to set the
record straight the gym is
called a "Dojo" when it is
used to practice karate and
other forms of the Martial
Arts. Instructor Ron Tyn-
dall, 32, of Holmesville, has
been operating the school for
a year and a half and
presently has 25 students
enrolled in his program.
He teaches his students
"Shorinrgu," a hard style of
karate. Hard meaning the
students are taught to kick
and punch harder, with the
use of 50 per cent hands and
50 per cent feet. Kung fu, on
the other end of the Martial
Arts scale, is softer, which
means the motions are much
slower and are done with
more of a "flicking action."
According to Henk Gerrits,
31, a native of Goderich, who
is enrolled in the course, the
origin of the Martial Arts
stems back to over 2,000
years ago when the people
from mainland China took
all of the weapons from the
Islanders of Okinawa. The
natives, grasping for some
type of self defense, engaged
in different forms of karate.
When enrolled in the
Goderich Township Karate
School, the first thing a
be;. ginner learns is how to
bow. Bowing shows respect
in being able to workout by
using the Martial Arts.
Showing respect is the first
step to achieving self-
ol'scipline.

Mr. Tyndall says the goal
of the karate school is

control, ro. rseverence and to
ve them self-confidence.
He says the students get
of the above "along with a
a
iscip
little bit of self-defence."
The courses start up every
10 weeks. After the 10 week
course is over, the student
can join the club for ad-
ditional training. The

"In the first 10 weeks the
student gets a g 1.0 4; Un-
derstanding of what the
Martial Arts is all about.
Some only stay for one night
and decide they don't like
it," said Mr. Tyndall.
Mr. Tyndall holds :1:e
coveted black belt in karate,
which took him about seven
years to earn. Throughout
his teaching sessions he can
be heard shouting words of
encouragement, "Be patient
and don't give up. Martial
Arts is for any age and you
all have an equal chance to
be good at it."
Out of the 25 students
enrolled in the school, 14 hold
color belts.
Beginners start out by
earning a white belt and
advance as follows: yellow,
orange, green, blue, brown
and finally to black.
Every belt level has a
certain amount of "kudas"
that are required before the
student receives his belt. A
Ude is a series of moves
attacking and defending
against an imaginary op-
ponent or opponents.
The highest ranking belt,
next to Mr. Tyndall in the
Goderich Township club,
belongs to Layton Cudmore
and Henk Gerrits, who both
earned their green belts with
Pearson's Karate School in
Goderich.
Why join a karate club?
It's a question a lot of the
students are asked?
"Mainly because it's a
good workout. It's a good
way to stay in shape," said
21 -year-old Jennifer Ren-
shaw of Goderich, "with the
number of women getting
attacked these days, a
women stands a better
chance if she knows karate."
Ms. Renshaw has been
enrolled in the school for
about a month and has
earned a white belt. She
definitely recommends that
other women take the
course.

The second round of the
Ontario High Point
Challenge was held on
Sunday, May 15 at Hully
Gully. Many of Ontario's top
Seniors and Expert riders
were on hand to compete for
the $2,011, in prizes and
trophies, as well as points in
this prestigous event.
The track was in excellent
condition and racing was
very Competitive. ATV races
were held during in-
termission as well as a
"Mini -Diggers" race.
The results are as follows:
School Boy 80 "A" - Tim
Rayner, Brantford; Richard
Tripodi, Markham; Jeff
Ruston, Niagara F. ils.
School Boy 80 "B" - Dean
Irvine, Glen Williams; Vince
Henk Gerries has been
involved in karate for five
years. He says his goal is to
obtain the IA ck belt and
become a karate instructor.
bight now I'm at about
the mid -point to earning the
ack. Martial Arts is not
easy. Once you set a goal you
have to work toward it. They
don't just hand out the belts,
you have to earn them," said
Mr. Gerrits.
Mr. Gerrits recommends
nfi
the course but cautions "na;;
everyl.•,tdy can do it, it t .:,es
discipline.''
Discipline and respect are
evident while watching the
students go through their
warm-ups. The students all
respond to instructor Tyn-
dall's opening command
"ske," which means at-
tention. Next Mr. Tyndall
instructs his students to
forget about the good and
bad things that happened
ence
during the day and that a.r
the next hour and a half,
they're at the gyre to 1c:r•n
Marti ::I Arts.
The routine begins with
each student lining I.1;, side-
by-side, in order of their belt
ranking. From this position
the sweat begins to roll.
Come and join the growing
number of Martial Arts
