6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 23, 1978 Section Two Bowmsviie owlerShareas liqiingT h Prize winners. Bowlers from the five top teams received their rewards at the end of the Tournament Winners were as follows: First prize went to Peter Maxymuik of Oshawa and Dave Reynolds of 'Bowmanville. Second prize went to an Oshawa team consisting of Jack Hunter and George Twiddy. In third place was a team from Whitby manned by Bus Coppin and Irv Boyd. A Bowmanvile twosome of Ross Hall and Les Langs took fourth place while Larry Sheridan and Peter Simmons of Lindsay finished fifth. Thirty-two bowlers from District 14 took part in a tournament held in Bowmanville last Wednesday. The event was the fourth and last men's tournament to be held this season. Photos show some of the action at the lawn bowling club in Bowmanville located on Queen St. The sport of lawn bowling is something like a summertime version of curling. Bowlers roll balls along the green and take advantage of the ball's tendency to curve in order to score points. Unlike a bowling baIl, the ball used in lawn bowling is slightly elliptical or egg-shaped. This causes it to curve slightly when thrown.- Oshawa and Bowmanville joined forces to produce the prize-winning team. Shown here are Peter Maxymuik, of Oshawa and Dave Reynolds of Bowmanville. Getting a closer look. by Norman Smith In spite of threatening thunderstorms, the last tourn- ament of the local lawn bowling season was run off without any delay on Wednes- day, August 16. When the last bowl had been thrown the winner of the Luther Nicholls trophy for men's pairs proved to be Pete Maxymuik of Oshawa Mskip) and Dave Reynolds of Bowmanville. Mr. Nicholls was unable to present his trophy in person (he is in his nineties) but many of the competitors have fond mem- ories of his years as an active member of the club. Once more there was a full entry of 32 players and at the end of the first game Max was only fifth among the leaders with a win of 18-15 against Ned Town and Don Skitch of Port Hope. He was ahead 14-7 after nine ends but Town then scored 5 to leave the game in doubt until the last end. After the interval for re- freshments served by Thelma Bennett, Norma Brock and Evelyn Smith, Max and Dave really hit their stride against Harry Lott and Len Weeks of Whitby: they scored 4, 6, 4 and 5 to build up a score of 21 plus 3 with only minimal response from their opponents. Their cumulative score for two games (39 plus 3) brought them against Ross Hall and Les Langs of Bowmanville (39 as a result of two good scores of 20 and 19) in the last game. This they won 17-9 with a total score of 56 plus 3 to take the trophy and first prize. The decisive factor in the third game was Max's skill in taking out his opponents' best shots. In the meantime the high scorers in the first game (Jack Hunter and George Twiddy of Oshawa with 21 plus 3 and "Bus" Coppin and Irv Boyd of Whitby with 21 plus 2) were matched in the second game. It was very close for ten ends when the score was five all but in the last four ends Hunter scored seven to win 12-6 with a cumulative score of 33 plus 3. This brought them against the previous holders of the trophy (Bill Tewksbury and Syd Elsden of Lindsay) who had a total of 30 at this time. Tewksbury who is a former Bowler of the Year, in the U.S.A. which he represent- ed in the World Champion- ships at Worthing, England, in 1972, is still a force to be reckoned with on the greens9 but la this game he had tot yield to the final drive of Hunter who scored two three's in, the last five ends to win 15-11. Hunter's total score of 48 plus 3 gave him the prize for second high 3-game winner. Coppin and Boyd of Whitby won the prize for high 2-game winner with 48 plus 5 closely followed by Ross Hall and Les Langs of Bowmanville whose 48 gave them second high 2-game winner prize. The prize for high 1-game wnner went to Larry (not Len as stated in our previous report - he won the same prize) Sheridan and Pete Simmons of Lindsay with 45 plus 1. The night before this tourna- ment took place, 23 Bowman- ville members were the guests of the Whitby Lawn Bowling Club for an evening of bowling and sociability. Two games of eight ends each were played with Bowmanville skips team- ed with Whitby vices and leads, and vice versa. Les Coombes of Bowmanville was the skip with the highest total score but there were lots of prizes and excellent refresh- ments so a good time was had by all. President Harold Bennett thanked the Whitby club for their hospitàlity and invited them back to Bowman- ville next season. Wesleyville )f Once again on August 19, beautiful weather blest the outdoor service held at the Lloyd Kellogg home at Welcome, for the Hope township charge of the United Church. Those who wished shade sat under a huge apple tree and others chose the sun. Service was conducted by Rev. Wmn. Kennedy and he was assisted in the reading of scripture by Mrs. J. McHolm, Miss Ruth Mills, and Allin Osborne. Morley Bickle presided at the portable organ and special music was provided by, Heather and Krista McHolm, Mary Symons, Jennifer Lord, Mrs. Liza Dinner, Ruth Kellogg, Roland Bowman, the last three accompanying with guitars and John Groeneveld with auto harp. They sang "Lift up your soul" and "Give God his due." Mr. Kennedy's story for the children concerned tourists in Portugal who had their shoes shined at the insistence of Tony a little shoeshine boy. Later they walked through the sands of the beach and made a mess of the shine. A short time later Tony saw them and insisted on re-doing them free of charge. He said he could not have his work walking around like that- The story emphasized pride in service and was a message for us that all we do, should be done for the Glory of God. The offering was received by Messrs. Clarence Nichols, George Wood and Allin Osborne. Rev. Kennedy's sermon was based on the words "God walked in the garden in the cool of the evening." The glory of the garden was a fitting theme for a summer service especially when sitting beside one in full view of the result of labour in flowers and vegetables. God is closer to the heart of man in a garden than anywhere else on earth, has been expressed often in verse and prose. Jesus broke bread on four different occasions in the open air as told in the Bible, especially at the feeding of five thousand, and in commemoration, the sacrament of communion was observed at this service. Rev. Mr. Kennedy was assisted by elders, Mrs. Ruth Symons, Mrs. Annie Watkins, Messrs. Laverne Farrow, Bev Gray, Elwin Dundas and Weston Bannister. The service opened with the singing of "Oh worship the Father" and closed before the benediction with an expression of thanks for all who had contributed to the preparation for ail the outdoor services and an invitation to attend the last one on August 27th at the home of Mrs. Grace Marsh at Canton. It was a beautiful morning for a lingering visit with friends during the serving of coffee and fruit bread in the shelter of the spacious new garage. Local residents are very familiar with blasting somewhere on the hydro site at all hours of the night, with the roar of different gigantic machines, thundering of trains and earlier last Tuesday evening, the sound of thunder. But later that night there was a very different sound, sharp as a gunshot but not like any of the usual noises. First thought to be local, then heard over a wider area so new the general a sonic boom, but it didn't sound like that either. The mystery remains. On Saturday afternoon and evening of August 19th, Mr. and Mrs. Murray Payne held open house at their lakeshore home in honour of son Rodney who has received his B.A. this year and is leaving in September for London England to study at Christie's, a course in Fine and Decorative Art. Friends were present from Toronto, Brockville, Kingston, Colborne, Port Perry and Roseneath as well as Port Hopie and district to congratulate and wish him well. Members of the family were present to welcome the guests and show them about the large old farm house with Two Arrested After $30,000 Fire at CLOCA Two Oshawa men face arson charges following a fire which demolished this maintenance shed located in the Enniskillen Conservation Area.
