8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, November 27. 1991 Jim Cryderman Receives Honor as Special Olympics Coach by Brad Kelly What began 10 years ago as a casual involvement with the Ontario Special Olympics, Olympics, has led to Male Coach of the Year honours for a local local resident. At a conference in Mississauga Mississauga recently, Jim Cryderman Cryderman was chosen from a select group as the top coach in the province for 1991. His selection by the provincial provincial committee was a formidable formidable one. And, in the voting voting for National Coach of the Year honours, he was one of the three finalists. Indeed, he has come a long way since attending an initial meeting 10 years ago. "I was invited to a regional regional meeting, and I just kept going going afterwards," he reflected. "Before I knew it, I was on one of the committees." His progression was a gradual one. He held down an assistant co-ordinator's title before becoming a regional co-ordinator in 1988. Cryderman Cryderman held the latter title until this fall. The Ontario Special Olympics have undergone numerous changes since his early days of involvement. Their programs have received recognition at every level, and their volunteer base is probably one of the strongest in not only Canada, but the world. The huge strides they have made were just a dream 10 years ago. But, with volunteers volunteers like Cryderman, those dreams have become a reality- reality- "It was always at the back of my mind, but I didn't know what the future would hold," he said when asked if he fell the Ontario Special Olympics would reach the level they have. And it may just be the beginning. beginning. Public awareness of the developmental^ handicapped handicapped is at an all-time high. Integration programs at schools and fitness facilities arc now the norm, rather than the exception. "It seems to be the trend for students to be integrated into a normal flow for social purposes," said Cryderman. The school in which he works with developmental^ challenged students, Courticc Secondary, has an integration program. • "We don't expect them to obtain a high school credit, but it's important for them to take part in the activities and discussions." His involvement with the Special Olympics has fo cused on the sports of swimming, swimming, speed skating, bowling and track, with both local and regional teams. This year, he travelled to the Provincial Summer Games in Ottawa and to the Provincial Speed Skating ' Championships in Windsor. In 1990, he represented Ontario as the provincial coach at the National Summer Summer Games in Vancouver. His next trip will be to the national winter games in Saskatoon Saskatoon in February of '92 as a speed skating coach for team Ontario. Two local athletes will be joining him on the trip. Betty Auld, from Courucc, is a member of the speed skating team, while Bowmanvillc's Darlene Carter will be competing competing as a cross-country skier. skier. Medals for both athletes would certainly be a highlight for Cryderman. But it isn't the glory of personal awards and recognition that keep him involved. Ask anyone who has ever volunteered for the Special Olympics, and they will tell you that their reasons for doing doing so are much deeper than the personal accolades that may come their way. "It's to see the develop ment of the skills of the individuals individuals and the good times we have meeting others at different meets," he explained. explained. "There are a lot of warmhearted warmhearted people involved with the Special Olympics. The athletes especially. They get more excited about somebody somebody else's victory than their own." That is why Jim Cryderman Cryderman doesn't show the slightest slightest hint of disappointment at not being selected as National Coach of the Year. The Special Olympics believe believe that it's not where you finish, but the fact that you showed up, that counts. Over a 10-year span, Cryderman Cryderman has a perfect attendance. attendance.

It was one of the best games they have played this year on home ice, a place where they have played some good ones in the last month. They made the Bruins look like anything but the defending defending league champions they arc supposed to be. It was a big win for the Eagles in many ways. Most importantly, they didn't want to fall into another slump.' After running up five consecutive consecutive wins, their streak was stopped on Saturday in Little Britain, when the Merchants Merchants prevailed with a 4-3 overtime victory. "Last night's game (Saturday (Saturday in Little Britain), right from the drop of the puck, we had no intensity," said coach Mike Noonan. "Tonight you could see they played with a little bit of desire. We went through the motions last night. "If we can play with intensity, intensity, we're going to do well." Offensively, it was another another big night for Shane Armstrong, who is starting to separate himself from the rest of the pack in the league scoring scoring race. He scored once in each of the first two periods, and also added a couple of assists assists to bring his league leading leading total to 40 points. Ryan Scarway, Rob Real and Nick Dennis had singles.
