The highlight of the day was .the Grand Cham- pionship - me. In a classic David and Goliath (alias Bogie) confrontation, the first place Foresters took on the surprising successful and efficient G.D.C.I. Teacher No. 2,(?) team. The route taken to this meeting by the two com- petitors was radically dif- ferent. By finishing first in League play, the Foresters were allowed to face teams with the least successful records while the sixth place Teachers had to fight their way to the top by defeating two of the League's premier teams. The Foresters' first ad- versaries of the day were their female . counterparts,. the Lady Foresters. Heather Jewell, Vicki Culbert, Eleanor Fisher and skip Bernice Moore knew they would need a few breaks ,to defeat the very talented Forester crew. But they didn't get them. Forester skip Cam Bogie totally ignored the many distrac- tions his female opponents threw at him to lead his team to a 6 to 3 win. Huron Haven was the second team to fall victim to the Forester juggernaut. The foursome of Steve Huff, Claus Etzler, Jeff Kuran and skip Bill Kuran had earned the right to challenge the Foresters by trouncing one of the pre -spiel favourites tcai 1863, ii for Behindtile excellent work of vice -skip Bill Robertson, last year's champions handed the • luckless Huron Haven unit a 12to 1 defeat. • While the Foresters ap- peared to be on an inevitable path to the championship, the G.D.C.I. Teacher No. 2 team started off on their race . to glory by tripping. Showing first -game nerves, the Teachers curled poorly. in their opening end of competition against the A.M. & G "GC's" and suddenly found themselves down by four. Their come -from -behind victory was perhaps an omen of what was to come. Bill Garrow and Dave Cloet deserve special praise for their efforts in this en- counter. A Cloet's take-out in the fourth end counted three for the educators and tied the score. From that point on, the hard pressed "GC's.. threesome of Dennis Miskie, Joanne Jasper and skip Tom" Jasper were unable to match the determination of their opponents and the teachers had their first win 8to5, The youthful and aggressive G.D.C.I. Vikings, no v stood- fn the Teacher's path. The talented. Viking unit of Del _ Mi:tchelmore,. Steve Teraina, Lou DeWinter and skip Mike Paquette were confident of victory since they had defeated the Teachers In league play and x: POOL CHEMICALS SPECIAL SPRING SHIPMENT 1980 PRICES UNTIL APRIL 15, 1981 (or while quantities last) Algae -Out 1`kG.. 90.00 Ggacn0/lior Op S$a�Net'ers KG 'he . n�tag Sh°e1 Gro COO KG.

(Photo by Dave Sykes) had looked very sharp in their first game against the Huron Health Unit. In that confrontation, the almost flawless execution of the Vikings. prevented the Health . Unit foursome of Paul Dawson, Karen MacKinnon, John Orr and skip Laurie Paquette from accomplishing mote than a single point.. Despite the. spirited and accurate per- formance of , skip Paquette, the Health Unit went down 8 tot. The Viking's confidence lasted until the fourthend When shots by Shelley Warr and Chris Connor put the heat on and a slight miss by the Vicing's leaders opened the door for the Teachers to take the lead. A very crowded house in the final end worked against the Vikings who possessed the last shot of the contest. That last shot was forced to be a triple raise into the four foot by the excellent guards put up ,by the Teachers. When skip Paquette's final desperation shot came to rest the G.D.C.I. Teacher No. 2 team had their second upset victory.7 to 5 and the road to the Championship game lay wide open. Everyone knew that the Teachers would need their best game of the season to defeat the superb Forester team of Faye Ribey, Jamieson Ribey, Bill 'Robertson and skip Cam' Bogie. Tne Tea chefs-did. he s did'just that. For seven ends a newcomer to the club would have thought the Foresters were the underdog as The Teachers enjoyed a lead of 6 to 2 ''at the halfway point of the contest and an ap- parently insurmountable four point advantage with only the final end to play. Bill Garrow was the standout in the early ends as he rarely missed an op- portunity to make his op- ponents miserable while Faye Ribey did the same for the Foresters. Almost 100 people then witneksed the strangest end of the year. Skip Bogie asked his teammates to draw the house; skip Cloet asked his teammates to remove them. Bogie's allies obeyed their orders; Cloet's didn't. When the smoke cleared the Foresters had four points; the game was tied; the crowd stunned; and the Grand Championship contest on its way to an extra end. The extra end had all the thrills of an entire match as both teams curled extremely well under the pressure. Forester skip Bogie saved his now famous "fertilizer" shot for the finale and came to rest in the four foot area. _ Teacher skip Cloet, w.hn_was the cornerstone of this remarkable team all day just missed the slippery Forester rock and the most exciting championship game ended 9 to 8 for the excellent Forester foursome. - The foursome of Ribey, Ribey, Robertson and Bogie became the recipients of the Signal -Star Championship Trophy as well as individual trophies provided by Sheaffer Pen for the second year in a row. TheG.D.C.I. Teacher No. 2 team received second 'place money and.. a special award. They were voted the most improved team by their peers and were presented. with the Charlie Crawford Most Improved Team Trophy. Third place in . the Championship Draw went to the Local 1863 foursome of Tom Profit, Charlie Crawford, Glen Falkiner and skip Jadt Kellough. The union reps rebounded from their opening game loss to Huron Haven to dispose of the Health Unit 5 to 1 and the Lady Foresters 7 to 5. Fourth place was a very close contest.
