The local team, com- peting in the A division, lost games to Essex 7-1 and Paris 8-2. In their first game, Goderich struck for the first goal, as George Sideris netted the puck on a play assisted by Mike Beange at the two minute mark of the first period. However Essex came roaring back and dumped three counters by Goderich goaltender Tom Durnin before the first frame period ended. In period two, Goderich was outshot 20-1 as they yielded four goals. Period three also belonged to the Essex squad, as they peppered Durnin with 18 shots while Goderich fired only two at the opposing net. However, despite the lopsided shot count, the period was scoreless. Durnin, who faced 48 shots in the contest was named Game MVP. Durnin split the goaltending duties with Shawn Currie in the Paris game, but nether netminder could stop enough pucks to prevent the 8-2 romp. Goderich got two goals from Colin roomfield, with Brian Wight assisting on oth tallies. Goderich Miffgets had little better luck n recent Shamrock League action, losing to the home side in Thamesford, 5-3 at ome to Strathroy and dropping a 6-3 deci- ion on the road to Dorchester.

"There will probably be a lot of curious hockey fans turn out Sunday to watch the Goderich Sailors play the Mount Forest Patriots. The gane, at 3 p.m., will be the first at home for the OHA Junior 'C' Sailors since December 6. Since then, the Sailors have played five away games. Their extended road trip started like the rest of the first half of the schedule had gone with losses, by respectable scores, but still losses. However, in their last two games, the Sailors seem to have found the secret of winning. The Sailors followed up last week's sur- prising 11-5 victory over the previously undefeated Hanover Barons with a 9-7 vic- tory i over the third place Wingham Ironmen Sunday in Wingham. No doubt local fans will want to see for themselves what has transformed their team into the holders of a genuine two -game winning streak, quite a feat for a team which has found winning difficulx since joining the Former Goderich resident Marilyn Bucholtz (nee Wightman) poses with her three week old daughter Krista after completing her Olympic Torch relay run. She had in- tended to carry Krista the full one kilometer but just held the baby when she received the torch. Bucholtz ran on December 19 near Belville Ont. (submitted photo) Mother carries the torch Former Goderich resident, Marilyn Bucholtz (nee Wightman) carried the Olympic Torch and her three week old daughter Krista. She carried the Olympic Torch on day 33 of the relay—December 19—near Belville Ont. Baby Krista was born 11 days early. Before then, Bucholtz, 28, was not sure if she would be making the run in a wheel chair. She had intended on carrying Krista the whole one kilometer, but because of in- surance reasons, Petro Canada, the of- ficial sponsor, asked her to just hold the baby when she received the torch. Bucholtz who lives in Cherry Valley and works at Bucholtz, Region Conservation Authority, did not even know she was preg- nant when she filled out the 50 applications and dropped them off at local gas stations. Bucholtz was originally from Goderich and attended GDCI. She married Don Bucholtz in May 1984. Krista is their first child. To prepare for the run, she walked in the country near her home earring a three pound flashlight above her head. She was a bit concerned about carrying the torth for so long and that maybe she had not trained long enough, but when the day ar- rived she was prepared. She plans to pass on her Olympic uniform to Krista when she gets a little older. Goderich residents, Judy Watt, Tanya McCuspey and David Hollingworth will be carrying the Olympic Torch next week. Watt and McCuspey will be running on January 3. Watt runs at 7:30 at the in- tersection of Highways seven and 21 and McCuspey runs at 3:30 p.m. two kilometers North of Mount Bridges on Highway 81 South. Hollingworth runs January 4 at 1:39 p.m. starting at the Petro -Canada Station in Woodstock on Highway 59. Junior C league two seasons ago. What has happened is simply the coming together of a young team that has been working hard and is now beginning to believe in itself. The patience shown by coaches Kent Phibbs and Dick Madge is now paying off as some of the young Sailors gain confidence and things begin to click. Sunday in Wingham was a good exam- ple. Byron Bowman, in his first full season with the Sailors after playing midget last year, scored two goals and had two assists and Tommy Bean, who also played midget last year, had two goals and an assist. Todd Graham also chipped in with a pair and Derek Jefferson, Mark Cauchi and defenceman Ron McKay got singles. McKay has just joined the team and has been impressive so far. He had been play- ing with the Clinton Mustangs Junior 'D' team which folded two weeks ago. Shawn Larder. had two assists and Dar- rell Durnin and goalies Jeff Roy had .one each. Roy's assist came on the Sailors last goal, an empty-netter fired the length of the ice by Derek Jefferson. Roy's real con- tribution, though, was his outstanding game in goal for the Sailors. The Sailors started strong Sunday outscoring Wingham 3-1 in the first period but the Ironmen turned the tables on the team in the second. The Sailors won it in a wild third period when they outscored Wingham 5-3. The Sailors captain Tom Bean was chosen as the game's first star. The Ironmen got' goals from Jason Goodall, Sandy McDonald, Doug McFarlen, Brad Priestap, Scott Hackett, Bevin Flett and. Paul Brophy. Referee Rick Jacklin assessed a total of 54 minutes in penalties to the Ironmen and 49 minutes to the Sailors, in the hard- hitting contest. The Sailors' Chris Sideris showed good discipline in taking only a two minute minor for roughing while the Ironmen's Dan Gilchrist took five minutes for fighting and two minors, one as the in- stigator in the same incident.
