The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-02-25, Page 111
Mighty three
reign supreme
The might triumvirate of
the Goderich • Industrial
League continues to reign
supreme over its realm with
only five weeks left to go in
the season. The terrible
threesome 'of the Foresters,
the AM, G '"`kC's''- and Local'
1863 all won their' twelfth
contest last week but in
markedly different ways.
The talented Foresters
totally domi"ed their
luckless opponents and
downed the 'Teacher Ink
conglomerate 11 to 2. Faye
"Ace" Ribey and Bennis
Lebrun proved to be the edge
of victory both in the curling
contest as well as irthe card
competition which followed:.
Elaine Bertrand continued to
perform expertly in a losing
effort against one of the
• league's dynamos.
The AM&G "GC's came
face to face with their
colleagues, the Hospital No.
1 team, and the shootout was
as exciting as expected.
Elmer Taylor and Jim
Rourke curled meticulously
in an admirable demon-
stration of •administrative
and medical unity but the
"boys from the•lab" were not
being denied their victory.
:: Peter Bergin:.: diagnose
the Hospital's. weaknesses;
Dennis. Miskie and . Phil
Turner set the end up and lab
chief Ron Klages supplied
the coup de grade to score a
big four points in the seventh
end and blow a very even
- --match-wide--open.- Although -
the seventh end was the
finishing blow to the Hospital'
No. 1 team it was two
delicate andiperfectly played
-shots-by--Klages -in the- fifth
end.. that prevented the
hardluck Hospital. crew from
obtaining their much -desired
' upset.
While the Foresters glided
easily to victory and the.
"GC's" coasted the last few
ends to their triumph, Local
7863 had to claw and crawl to
thdir win. In fact, after four
ends the mighty union,
foursome appeared on their
way to an ignominious
defeat.
A ` superb overall team
effort in the fifth changed
that, outlook however as the
unidn reps scored four to tie
their match with the Huron
Haven threesome. The
spirited Huron Haven,
playing without their injured
vice -skip John Kuran,
bounced right back from the
disasterous fifth and led by
one in the final end before
Local 1863 skip Jack
Kellough made a tricky
takeout and scored two for
the come -from -behind
victory 8 t 7.
Mr. Kellough and Co. were
not the only team to snatch
victory from the jaws of
defeat. For much of their
.contest against the Lady
Golfers, the Charhpion Office
Silver Brooms appeared on
their way to their first
elusive victory.
But fate can be cruel! So
can the Lady Golfers!
•
Behind the excellent team
performance and the in-
spired leadership of Paul
Mulligan the Champion
Office controlled most of the
encounter but took only a
slim one point lead into the
- final end. Lynn Todgam
made her shots; Penny
Peters copied Lynn; Kay
Duncan copied . Lynn and
Penny and Sue White copied
Lynn, Penny and Kay. When
the copycats were finished so
were the hopes of the Silver
Brooms as they lost a
heartbreaker 6 to 5.
•• While one group of ladies
were playing the a heavy
another feminine foursome
did all they could to endear
themselves to their op-
ponents. The kind and overly
generous LadyForesters led
by three with only two ends
to go in their match with the
GDCI Teacher No. 2 con-
tingent
In the seventh end, the
Lady foursome was hit by an
uncontrollable urge to make
the game.close and Oen the
end ended they had satisfied
their desire. The game was
tied.
Unable to throw off this
self-destructive tendency the
Lady Foresters were -unable-
to prevent the Teachers from
stealing a single point and
the contest in the final end.
For most of . the. game,
Eleanor Fisher and Vicki.
Culbert were anything but
.nice• to their adversaries as
-*-they--made--both--takeouts
and draws with cold-blooded
efficiency. But they, were
just unable to stay mean the
whole game. •
• It is --fitting. • thht- the
Teacher star of the game
should be their only female
member:-- Sheileyy--"Boom.-
•Boom" Warr was par-
ticularly sharp when double
takeouts were required.
The struggling' GDCI
Teacher No. 1 .team also
chalked up .a victory over the
Champion Sales .Office .8to 6.
Playing on very un-
predictable ice, the match
swayed back and forth with
five shots being made by
both 'teams. Bill Hayward
was very strong for the
unfortunate Salescrew.while
Barb Ottewell was equally
skillful for the ultimate
victors.
The real star of the con-
test, however, was Teacher
vice -skip Del. Almeida who
made double takeouts or
quiet drawswith equal
dexterity.
In the final- match of the
night; the Huron Health Unit
showed no mercy to Fisher
Builders as they defeated
them 11 to 3. Particularly
lacking in the spirit of
Florence Nightingale was
Health Inspector Jack
MacKinnon as he _refused to
'miss throughout the conflict.
The Fisher carpenters were
able to nail down only two
ends despite some fine
curling by Sim Bell and Ray
Fisher. .

Last day sees exciting match for top
The last day of,,Tuesday
Ladies:curling - saw- an ex=
citing race for top position.
The first team winners
Eleanor Erskine, Kay King,
Karen Kirk and Kathy
Morris had to curl their best
to beat the tough competition
of Kay Duncan, Betty Moore
ani Sally MacEwan:--When-
the smoke hadred, the
Erskine , teamn by . one
rock.
It was a, great day of
curling for Nancy
MacKinnon and her team of
Joanne Jasper, Phyl
. Lawrence-- -and -Johnnie
Stricklan d. They clinched
second spot by defeating.
Mary Ann Dempsey's team
of. Penny Peters, Gerry
Zurbrigg and . Eileen
Beachemin by one rock.
Joanne Jasper is obviously
getting.. geared.: up :the
political cheering section as
we watched her jumping up
and down encouraging her
team to curl their best. The
only thingmissing were the
pom poms. . •
Nancy MacLennon was out
curling --the -first—time "this
year: It was good to have her
back with us. One would
have thought that she had
never been away • as she
did n'-t-miss,ashot. -
To bad Nancy wasn't
ski ping or the rink might
--have wonagainsttlurd place
team of Phyl Durst, Jean
McGee, and Georgia Ball.
Gert Wilson and Shelagh
Sully, the rest of the losing
team, curled well hitting the
,broom rermlar1_v. Unfor-
tunately, the broom wasn't
intherightplace -..
After a. brief coffee break,
the ladiesquickly prepared
for a fun packed evening of
curling and socializing. Six
teams played two four end
games. A delicious pot luck
supper was served between
--the two games It was alittle
toogood, as the girls had to
play the second .game _to
shake down the main course
to '.make room for the
dessert. •
Nancy MacKinnon Con-
tinued her superb curling to
bring her Tam of Karen
Kirk, Georgia Ball and Jane
Durst into top spot for the
evening. Georgia, thanks to
her "connections" brought a
box to carry home, her
prizes.
Pee Wees get pressure
in first.
The Goderich Lion •Pee
Wees started OMHA playoffs

Doak The first period ended
irr a 2 - 2 tie with the second

Talbot collected two assists
with singles going to Mark
Cauchi and Darren Doak.
The last two minutes of
play saw tremendous
pressul-e put onto the op-
position. The . goalie was
replaced with a sixth at-
tacker but the effort was
foiled by a staunch Petrolia
defence. A total team effort
was put forth. by the ..local
lads who were led and en-
couraged by the strong
netminding of goalie Jeff
Scott.. .
On. Sunday, February 22
round
the Lions travelled to
Petrolia for the second game
of their play-off series. rhe
Petrolia youths played very
strong offensively toga in a 9
-1 victory over the locals.
The lone Goderich tally
was notched by Kevin
Talbot. A flip of a coin
awarded Petrolia the third
game of this series which
will be played on Wed-
nesday, February 25 nt-8:00
p.m. The series is a best out
of five with the•fourth game

Anne 'Duncan led skip Kay
King into a second place
victory. These young girls.
are good and we wish them
luck in the .competition
Wednesday.
Third place was won by
Phyl`Durst; SandyBraid arid'
Gert Wilson. Gert performed
one of those .impossible sots
by coming between two
rocks that left no breathing
space, and knocking out the
opposing team's shot rock.
Gert and Sandy were so
excited that they hopped
around the ice until the end
of the game. This so un-
settled the opposition, that
they were not able to
recover.
Joanne Hood joined the
party to thank everyone for
looking after the Jitney for
her on 'short notice. It seems
that, a week ago, Joanne was
practicing an out turn • with
her car and puttoo much
spin on it. She claims that
she would have made the
shot if she had. had a
sweeper. .
Joanne's husband who is
very supportive of Joanne's
activities, had a pin put in his
arm this week to strengthen
his arm so that he can be her
sweeper next time round.
It must be noted that sofa'.
the ladies have three teams
entered into the BATTLE OF
THE SEXES BONSPIEL.
The GDCI girls are thinking
that they might be the fourth
team. No men's teams as,
yet. They seem to,be a little
shy. Come on fellows. Gather
some courage and join the
fun. •
