V 8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 1,1991 Gonder: "Like Winning the Lottery" Named Head Coach of Special Olympic Team She by Brad Kelly Upon returning home from a vacation in Florida a couple of weeks ago, Carol Gonder received a call that was as exciting as being told that she won a lottery. No, she didn't cash in on the millions available in the Lotto 649. But, in her estimation, estimation, it was the next best thing. named as the head coach of the Ontario Ontario Special Olympic Durham Region Region #12 swim team that will be competing at Gonder the Provincial Provincial Championships in Nepean Nepean (near Ottawa) from July 25-28. "I got home from Florida and got the call. To me it was like winning the lottery because I was that thrilled," said Gonder from her office overlooking the pool at the Fitness Centre. Gonder, the Recreation Co-ordinator for the Town of Newcastle Community Ser vices Department, will be in charge of 25 team members and five coaches. She was hoping to get the opportunity to travel with tne team as one of the coaches, coaches, but never anticipated being being named the head coach. "At one of the regional meets earlier this year Paula Paula Paulev (coach of the Durham Durham Dolphins in Oshawa) asked me if I'd like to be one of the coaches to go to Ottawa," Ottawa," recalled Gonder. "I told her at the time if I could arrange arrange it, I would love to go." But when the phone rang on the night of her return from Florida, she was surprised surprised at the offer. "When she called and asked me if I'd like to go to Ottawa, I told her I'd love to. When she asked if I'd like to go as the head coach, I told her you bet." She first became ac- uainted with the Special lympics swim program while working as a life guard at the Fitness Centre. She helped with the North Courtice Public School physically physically challenged classes, and, after attending one of qu Ô1 their swim meets, her involvement involvement blossomed. Her volunteer work for the Special Olympics program program nas resulted in a big commitment, but one which she thoroughly enjoys. "When I'm with them, I don't know what it is. Any little improvement or encouragement encouragement you give them means the world, she began. began. "With them, I can forget forget my workload and troubles. troubles. They just make me feel relaxed." "One hour a week of swimming with them is like eight hours, but when I'm done, I feel better about myself." myself." The list of duties she'll have during the three-day meet in Nepean is a lengthy one, and can best be summed up by saying that she will be on call 24 hours a day. Already hooked on the swimming aspect of the Special Special Olympics, Gonder is also starting to show some interest in volunteering to help with baseball, basketball basketball and cross country skiing programs. rtj 8 Local Skater Takes Medals ,x ■ ■c ■ it •/ ' * • # i ' ", / 1 V = #»/ Ijl ■ ' ■Nv Cara Gardner represented the Bowmanville Figure Skating Club at a competition in Sudbury on the weekend of April 12-13.

During the first week of April, the BRHL atom team sponsored by the Carnation Flower Shop travelled to Ajax to take part in their fourth tournament of the season. Having won the 'A' Championship in the Bowmanville Bowmanville tournament, the Carnation players knew that they had set themselves themselves a hard act to follow. However, to the delight of their parents and fans, they once again demonstrated their ability to play solid, fast-paced, positional hockey to earn the 'A' Runners-up title in what turned out to be their most challenging tournament of the season. Winning their first game against an Ajax team with a score of 12-1, the Carnation atoms continued working towards towards the 'A' Championship. Superb goal tending by Jeremy Jeremy Bowen and solid blue line play from Karl Weiner,, Tyler Cattafi, Jeff Lockwood and Jamie Shrives kept the Ajax sharpshooters to that single goal. Meanwhile, the Carnation forwards consistently consistently skatfed hard and gave the second effort required to amass an impressive 12 goals. Scott MacDonald led the team with seven goals, _ while Danny MacDonald' scored three and Andrew Wraith netted two. Assists were earned by Jeff Lock- wood, Kevin Stonehouse, Jamie Jamie Shrives, David Hamum and Scott Read. Playing their next game against another BRHL team sponsored by the Ontario Hydro Employees' Union, the Carnation atoms knew that this game would not be as one-siaed as their first. As expected, the pace of this game was much faster and included more end-to-end play that tested both net- minders. Jeremy Bowen for Carnation and Andrew La- ton for Hydro performed beautifully. Going into the final few minutes of the third period with a 3-3 tie, Carnation centreman Scott MacDonald got the assistance assistance he needed from his brother, Danny, to score the winning goal that qualified them to continue on in the tournament. It was a shame that one team had to lose, as they both looked like championship championship teams in the eyes of all spectators in the arena. In a nice display of good sportsmanship sportsmanship at the end of the game, one of Hydro's top guns, Scott MacKay, with a huge smile on his face, skated skated to Carnation's Scott MacDonald MacDonald and gave him a congratulatory congratulatory pat on the back. Once again, Bowmanville is promoted well in victory and defeat. Stats for this game were as follows: Philip Dragstra had one goal, Scott MacDonald MacDonald had a pair, Danny MacDonald MacDonald had four assists, David David Leppert and Andrew Wraith had one assist each. Coming off the tough game against Hydro, tne Carnation atoms appeared to remain on a high tor their third game against another Ajax team. Completely dominating dominating the play and clearly outskating their opponents, the Carnation sharpshooters were able to frustrate the Ajax goalkeeper by scoring 14 goals. Ana the nice thing about the goal scoring was that every skater on the team picked up at least one point. Jeremy Bowen frustrated frustrated the rest of the Ajax team to earn a shutout. Congratulations Congratulations Jeremy! The final 'A' Championship Championship game was played on Sunday, April 7. This time a Toronto team sponsored by SkyDome supplied the opposition. opposition. Just like the Carnation Carnation atoms, the. SkyDome team had not lost a game in any of their previous three tournaments.

Cougars Have Improved| had one goal scored on them in those tournaments. The Carnation players knew that they were in for their most difficult game to date. From the moment the puck was dropped, it appeared appeared that Lady Luck was not shining on Carnation. Freshly flooded ice stopped more than a few breakaways by the Carnation forwards when the puck got caught in puddles of water.! Midway into the second period, the Carnation atoms found . themselves down three goals. To their credit, they continued to dig deep for that second effort to eventually break the SkyDome SkyDome shutout. Unfortunately, in the final final minutes of tne game, the Carnation atoms were behind behind by one goal when the SkyDome atoms increased their lead to 4-2. The first Carnation goals was scored by Scott MacDonald, assisted assisted by his brother, Danny. The second Carnation goal was the result of the hard work of Andrew Wraith along the boards to feed Danny in the slot. After a very tough, competitive competitive series of round robin play, the BRHL atom teams sponsored by the Carnation Flower Shop and by 401 Esso, qualified for places in the 'W Championship. The first game between these two teams, in a best-of-three format, took place on Sunday, Sunday, April 14. If tne Carnation players were at all nervous when they took to the ice, they certainly certainly did not show it. From the moment the first puck was dropped until the final buzzer sounded, the Carnation Carnation atoms dominated the play to win with a final score of 5-1. Carnation centre Scott MacDonald put the score- keeper to work less than two minutes into the game, making making use of a nice pass from Kevin Stonehouse. Midway through this opening period, Scott doubled the score with his well-known wrist shot. Defenseman Jeff Lockwood earned the assist on this goal. Late in this same period, period, Danny MacDonald scored the third Carnation goal to give his team a comfortable, comfortable, three-goal lead.

The Carnation players, once again, took control of the game to eventually win with the same final score of 5-1. Carnation wingers David Leppert. Andrew Wraith, Scott Read, Jason Pingle and Philip Dragstra demonstrated demonstrated some of their best forechecking of the season, which made it almost impossible impossible for the Esso Oilers to mount much of an offense. One of the nicest plays of the game came with just over a minute to play in the second period. On this play, centreman Kevin Stonehouse Stonehouse won the faceoff in the Esso end to get the puck to Jeff Lockwood. Jeff one- timed the puck along the ice to score wnat turned out to be the game-winning goal. Winning the 'B' Championship Championship was an excellent way to end a fantastic season. Good luck in all future endeavours! by Brad Kelly In only their second year back in the LOSSA senior boys' baseball league, Courtice Courtice Cougar coach, Paul Schultz, .has set some lofty goals for his club. And, if the confidence level level that his team is playing with early in the season is any indication, the goals may not be unattainable ones. "We have improved quite a lot this season," said Shultz following a league game on Friday against Ajax. "It's still very early, but I look for us to win a number of games this year." "We have a lot more confidence confidence than last year, and we're trying to build a program program from year to year. We've already equalled our wins from last year, so realistically realistically I hope to make the playoffs." The season opened for the Cougars on a bright note, as they took a 6-5 decision decision from Dunbarton on on Thursday, April 18. Jeremy Woodcock picked up the win, while John Drumm recorded the save. Since then, they have hit a mild slump. They were pounded by Henry Street, tne defending league champions, 16-3 in a game that was tied at three heading into the fourth inning. inning. But, 13 runs in the bottom of the fourth inning by Henry Street quashed any hopes the Cougars had of upsetting the defending champions. And on Friday, playing their home opener at Soper Creek Park, the Cougars came out on the short end of a 7-2 score to Ajax in seven . innings. "Ajax massacred us last year, and we were in this game today," said Schultz, referring to the noticeable improvement of his club. "We got men on in every inning. inning. It's just a matter of converting the base runners into runs. Starter Glenn Woodard worked the first four innings for the Cougars, and was tagged with the loss. Issuing free passes was his. downfall. downfall. as he surrendered six walks, while striking out one. Jeff Pickell came on in relief relief of Woodard to start the fifth, and silenced the Ajax bats. The hard-throwing right hander gave up a pair of walks and struck out two while keeping the visitors from adding to their lead. Ajax opened the game with a pair of runs in the top of the first inning on a couple of hits. In the second, they struck for four more on a couple of hits and three walks. Courtice answered with a pair of their own in the third, using two walks, an error, and a pair of hits to cut the Ajax lead to 6-2. Ajax added a lone run in the fourth. The early runs given up by the Cougars to Ajax have been typical of the way the other games have started said Scnultz. ' ■ . - - ■ V. X : "We have given up runs in the first inning of our games and then came back to score in the second. I'd like to see us get through the first inning scoreless, especially especially when we're the home team." In a doubleheader played on Monday at Soper Creek, the Cougars' losing streak reached four games, as they were beaten by O'Neill 6-1, and Anderson 12-5. , '"iijv., -kàit ■' ' .'v-i , ■ ' ■ '• , / VY 4 >.
