Three-way ties
prominent
ire curling scene
The Industrial Curling
League is a cozy, friendly,
close-knit group of people
who enjoy each other's com-
pany on, and just as fre-
quently, off the ice.
This togetherness even
shows up m the league stan-
dings where the saying
"Two's company, three's a
crowd" is flatly rejected. In
fact, more than half the
league's teams are involved
in three-way affairs.
Top spot is in the hands of
three foursomes for at least
one, more week. The
A.M.&G. "GCs" continued
their fine play as they
trounced a rusty Eleinen-
tary Teacher Unit 13 to 2.
Ron !Gages was extremely
crisp in his performance and
may have earned himself the
nickname "Lettuce" for the
remainder of the season.
Equally dominated in this
contest were the front three
of the "GC's" led by Dennis
'Carrott" Miskie and
dynamic duo of Phil "Jolly
Green Giant" Turner and
Peter "Sprout" Bergin.
Dianne Budnark curled
well in an attempt to "toss"
this appetizing --group aside
but her effort was spoiled by
their excellent teamwork.
Local 1863 also found their
opponents most agreeable as
they competed in an inter-
corporational conflict with
the Champion Sales Office.
The white collar men found
their blue-collar adversaries
more than they had
budgeted for and ended up
suffering a deficit of five
points as the union players
dropped them 8 to 3
The 'Sales crew was par-
ticularly surprised by a new-
look Glen Falkiner. While
Glen's tan stood him out
from the crowd so did his
confident shot making and
enthusiasm. Under constant
inflationary pressure, the
Sales Office struggled
gallantly to hold the score
below double-digit figures
with superb shots. by Don
Kent and Pete Wanner.
Unlike those other famous.
"sales"_ .pitch artists .known
aSr•Ppoliticians they were
ultimately successful.
Dennis Lebrun took the
reigns of power for the
Foresters as regular skip
Cam Bogie attended a
seminar on growing . white
beans by flashlight. Dennis
is no novice to pressure and
he needed all his experience
to hold off a determined
challenge from the GDCI
Teacher No. 2 tea..
The match was tied at
seven apiece in the seventh
and when the seventh shot of
the end came to rest in the
spot that would ultimately
claim a victory for the.
Foresters, Phil Foster fired
this decisive rock and it sat
patiently to one side while
teachers Bill Garrow and
Dave Cloet battled Foresters
Ribey and Lebrun for control
of the four foot circle.
Last rock_-a_dv_ant4ge and
his years of experience pro-
vided Lebrun with the winn-
ing edge as he cleared out
the teacher rocks and
recordedtvictory number 13.
A second triumvirate ex-
ists right behind the
almighty threesome just
chronicled. Two members of
that gang faced each other in
a showdown of youth vs. ex-
perience (read age) .
The final tally shows once
again that the kids are tak-
ing over. The GDCI Viking
class of Mitchelmore,
DeWinter, Tara ba and Pa-
quette earned full marks for
their performance 'as they
downed the Huron Health
Unit 6 to 5.
Credit must also be given
to the vanquished as this
contest required an extra
end of competition. Always
noticeable Laurie Paquette
and hard to ignore John Orr
both curled, strong games in
defeat while Health Unit skip
Jack MacKinnon made what
appeared to be a winning
shot in the extra end but
- Mike Paquette equalled it
with his last shot to claim the
triumph.
• The third member of this
establishment is Huron
Haven. This team has been
playing inspirational curling
since losing their vice -skip
John Koran. This level of
curling was clearly
demonstrated to the less
than attentive Teacher 'Ink
foursome.
The 12 to 2 score sum-
marizes the contest.
Whenever Teacher Marty
Bond or "honorary"
teacher Cliff McDonald
made a shot it was quickly
removed from sight and
replaced by one fired by
Claus Etzler or Jeff Kuran.
If this Huron Haven
"threesome" continues as.
they are, curling "four-
somes" may become ob-
solete.
A third group of three oc-
cupies the next rung in the
ladder as • well. This
threesome, , however, may
not be as harmonious as the
preceding ones since it was
created by a default by the
Lady Golfers to the A.M.&G.
Hospital No. 1 team. When
asked for his feelings about
the default, Hospital vice -
skip Craig Cass replied,
"I'mteedoff!" -
As might be expected, the
further one goes down the
standings the more isolated
and lonely the teams
become. The -Lady
Foresters, for example, sit
all alone in tenth place. They
earned this seclusion with an
exciting last shot 7 to 5 vic-
tory over the GDCI Teacher
No. 1 unit.
Heather Jewell was un-
necessarily efficient as she
refused to miss even one
shot. Jewell's monotonous
perfection was tempered
with skip Bernice Moore's
fluctuations between warm
generosity and ruthless pro-
ficiency.
•
Teacher skip, George Sut-
ton, unable to defeat an all•
female foursome in three
years, is initiating a rule
change that would outlaw all
female teams-. In his new
rule, each team would have
to have at least one `weak
link - a male!
At least the obviously
desperate Teacher No. 1
team is not left alone in the
standings. Their company is
Fisher Builders. Fishers
moved into the tie with a 7 to
4 win over Champion Office.
- J -i -rib-- --B e -U - -h a -d--- a
outstanding game for the
Builders as he skillfully
either built a big end for his
teammates or shattered one
for his opponents.
The "Silver Brooms" of
Paul Mulligan and Barry
Page once again proved a lit-
tle too rusty. While much of
the league is meshed
together Barry and his team-
mates live an isolated ex-
istence in last place. Onward
and upward, however, ap-
pears to be this group's
positive motto.
Bridge Club scores
There were eight tables in
play at Goderich BridgebClub
Tuesday night.

Rutledge and Rick Somers

All eyes on delivery
The last draw of the Ladies
Curling section began with
their best curling boot put
forward. All eyes Watched
the delivery, the weight ap-
plied, . and the final position
of the rock. It was keen com-
petition indeed.
After losing the first three
ends, Phyl Durst's tenni of
Lynn Todgham and Karin
Kirk cleaned up their
brooms, put their noses to
the ice and became deadly
accurate. Nancy MacKin-
non, Betty Moore, Emily
Crew and Georgia Ball who
were curling well watched
their lead disappear.
Jean McGee . borrowed
Jane Durst to make up their
team and beat Elsie
Gardener, Shelagh Sully and
Kathy Morris, It was Elsie's
first time out this year and
she did a good job skipping
the team. As the saying goes,
she didn't get the breaks.
And Eleanor Erskine con-
tinues her winning streak.
Her team of Joanne Hood,
Phyl Lawrence and Eileen
Beauchemin won over the
warm smiling quartet of Kay
King, Penny Peters, Gert
Wilson .4 and Johnine
Strickland.
The draw closed with a
make-up demonstration of
Estee Lauder cosmetics.
Each team member Will
receive a gift certificate to
apply toward any purchases.
The new leads this year
are doing so well that they
are considering entering a
team in the Battle of the
Sexes Bonspiel. They claim
that they can win on consis-
tent draw weight. We now
have one men's team
entered. Roger Bois is back
to defend his title - just need
12 more brave souls.
