I t 10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, October 9,1991 New Coach Brings Experience to Aquatic Club by Brad Kelly The Newcastle Aquatic Club has expanded their already already impressive roster for this year. But that addition wasn't a competitive swimmer. Instead, there will be one more person on the deck of the pool giving instruction and guidance to the 35 members members of the club. Michael Holbrook, a resident resident of Cobourg, has been added to the coaching staff. He is the club's assistant coach. "We realized we needed an assistant," said publicity chairperson Pat Limebcer during a practice last week. "In order to make our program program grow, we have to have quality coaches. "Hiring Michael helps to provide instruction for a wider wider range of swimmers." Holbrook will be forming a formidable coaching staff ' with Karen Hillis, who is in her second year as head coach of the club. , The two have worked together together before. They operated their own club, the North , York Ace swim club for three years. But during that time, the roles were reversed. Holbrook Holbrook was the head coach while Hillis was his assistant. But there won't be any animosity animosity between the two coaches now that their posi tions have been reversed with NEWAC. If there was, it could make for a difficult home life. You see, not only do the coaches form a partnership from pool- side, they also form one at home. They are married. So the coaching doesn't necessarily necessarily stop when they leave the pool. "We certainly bring it home with us," said Holbrook. Holbrook. "It becomes a very long day if you added on the time we spend discussing things afterward. "Things are working well here now and the other club (Ace) we ran together was very successful, so I think we make a good team. It helps a lot to have coaches on the same wavelength and have the same philosophies." Holbrook began his swimming swimming career in Guelph at the age of 11, and continued to swim at a provincial level for five years. His interests turned to water polo, where he coached at the high, school level in Toronto. It led him into coaching competitive swimming. He moved around from club to club, and was in Oshawa last year as the head coach. He left that post to come to NEWAC, and in addition, addition, work as the senior coach for the Woodbridge Swim Club.

(No fundraising or bingos) * Come and be a part of our swim team For more information call Jeri Frisna 623-1204 » Mike Dymaràski 623-6384 Coaching two clubs can make for a very long day. On Mondays and Tuesdays he's at the pool in Bowmanville at 5:30 a.m., and wraps up in Woodbridge at 8:00 p.m. With Hillis being hired as the club's first-ever head coach last year, she had a large number of swimmers to look after. Holbrook's role is to help reduce that number. "What we are trying to do this year is split it up a little bit and lake one small group and give them a little more attention," he began. "I have eight kids, so it's a very easy position to do and it's working working out well for them." Holbrook's swimmers are between the ages of 9-11. With a group that young, the importance of winning isn't an issue. "Both Karen and I have the philosophy that at this age (9-11) competitive results are not the primary goal. What we are trying to do is to give New Season Begins For Heritage House The Newcastle Aquatic Club (NEWAC) has hired a new assistant coach for the upcoming competitive competitive swimming season. Michael Holbrook is the first professional assistant coach that NEWAC has had. On Friday, October 4, the Toro major atom team sponsored sponsored by the Heritage House Restaurant began their 1991-92, season by narrowly defeating' Stouffvillc, 4-3. In this opening game, the Toro atoms found themselves behind 2-0 at the end of the second period. However, However, considering that they played most of those two periods periods one man and sometimes two men short, one might have expected a higher goal count against the Toros. Excellent, goaltending by Nick Adams and Greg Kocndcrman combined. combined. with solid bluclining from Steve Ewlcs, Eric Griffin, Jason Knox, Colin MacDonald and Brett Pakosta held the Stouffvillc sharp-shooters to two goals. Early in the third period,' Chris Pot was assisted by John Armishaw to break the Stouff- ville shutout. This seemed to be the boost that the Toro atoms atoms needed as they added three more goals to the score- board while the Stouffvillc atoms atoms only scored once. Jason Lange earned the second Toro goal, while Danny MacDonald notched two. All goals were assisted assisted by the consistent efforts of the wingers along the boards and in the comers. Those players include Bryan Hudgins, Hudgins, Mike Maynard, Chris ■ McKenzie, Craig Sabine (also playing centre) and Andrew Wraith. The next afternoon, a major atom team from Pickering supplied supplied the opposition for the second Toro league game, and again the Heritage House atoms' atoms' found themselves behind 2-1 at the end of the first period. period. However, the Toro atoms eventually tied the game late in the second period and never looked back from that point on. That tying goal by Mike Maynard Maynard was definitely the play of the game. Chris Pot and John Armishaw worked the puck back and forth behind the Pickering Pickering net and then passed it to Maynard in the slot. The Pickering Pickering goalie didn't stand a chance! Nice team work Toros! Toros! The Toro atoms then went on to score four more unanswered unanswered goals. Danny MacDonald MacDonald earned the team's first hat- trick. Congratulations, Danny! Chris Pot finished the scoring with his second of the game to bring the final tally to 6-2. It is clear that these Heritage Heritage House atoms will represent represent the Toro organization well. As coach Pat Lange said: "There is a good balance of goal scorers and diggers on the team. Every player puts out 110% and all are contributing to a full team effort. These kids like playing hockey together." The smiles on their faces before and after each game and the camaraderie they continually continually exhibit indicates that coach Lange is right. With the very capable leadership of coach Pat Lange, assistant coach Greg Adams and manager Neil Pot, the ensuing season looks promising promising for these major atom players. This year's Heritage House Toro major atoms arc: Greg Kocndcrman, Nick Adams, Brett Pakosta, Steve Ewlcs, Mike Maynard, Erik Griffin, Chris McKenzie, Danny MacDonald, MacDonald, Chris Pot, Jason Knox, Bryan Hudgin, John Armishaw, Armishaw, Jason Lange, Craig Sabine, Colin MacDonald, Andrew Andrew Wraith.

Our next game is Friday night at 8:00 p.m. in Bowmanville Bowmanville arena against Orono Shoppers. , them a really good set of skills. "I'm sure in doing that, they will achieve some good results competitively as well." The club has noticed a slight decline in registration this year. The program that has been able to keep its numbers the same is die Esso Swim Program for noncompetitive noncompetitive swimmers. One of the reason that the numbers have started to decline decline is that kids have the wrong idea about what the club is all about, says Lime- beer. "Kids have the misconception misconception that they have to be good to be on the team and that's not the case," she said. "The programs arc geared to accommodate swimmers of all levels." Currently, the club provides provides instruction for swimmers swimmers who just want to learn the basic strokes (Esso) to a provincial level, in which the club has five swimmers competing. competing. The club is looking to begin begin another program that would bridge the gap that exists exists between the Esso program, program, which is one day a week, to the Novice program that is three days a week. A publicity campaign will be started to sec if there is interest interest in a program that operates twice a week. In the profession of coaching coaching swimming, it's not uncommon uncommon for coaches to bounce around from club to club. Should that happen here, there is one thing that. Holbrook hopes his kids learn from him. "If they can get the idea that the goal is to do the skills well as opposed to being particularly particularly fast or winning," he said. "If they catch the bug of wanting to do things per- feedy, then I'd be happy with that." Should anyone be interested interested in joining the club, contact Jeri Frisina at 623-1204.

Hwy. # 2 East End of Port Hope GM rpn Staff Employees Wf jÊÊl Cars and Direct Families Sales Peter Johnson 11/ I have always thought that deep sea fishing was a whole lot tougher than fresh water fishing. My premise for this is: Let's say you're fishing for Barracuda off a reef in the Bahamas. Bahamas. You lay into a good one, about six feet and weighing weighing about 60 pounds. Most people never have or never would want to get close enough to look into the mouth of a Barracuda. Three rows of teeth, razor sharp, over an inch long. The prospect of taking one off the end of your line can be a bone-chilling experience. What can I say. Perch or Blue Gill just don't offer that same sense of danger. Ahhh! But Muskellunge, a freshwater fish as noble as an eagle, with tales and fables longer than man's memory. The Algonquin Indians' word for man is Maskinong, meaning meaning great pike. Travelling around Ontario, staying at, and fishing the different different lodges and camps, I've seen lots of trophy Muskie hanging on the walls. Everyone Everyone has a fishing tale and an eager fisherman willing to relive relive that moment when that monster hit his lure and the adrenaline was just a-pumping. Tales of guys getting bitten and needing stitches or stories of someone who once had their thumb bitten right off by a muskie are common. I even heard that muskie have bitten people's feet, while they hung them over a dock in the water. Yes, with tales like this and the length of time this monster of the deep has patrolled our waters, waters, it's no wonder the Indians call him the 'Great Pike.' Before I give you a couple of tips'on how to catch these freshwater gators, Let me warn you first about something called 'Muskie Madness.' This disease can be fatal. Yes, I've witnessed it personally. My older brother, once an avid walleye and bass fisherman, won't even go out on the opening opening day of walleye season anymore. anymore. He would rather stay at home, carving and making muskie baits from old baseball bats, waiting for muskie season to open. Let me tell you, I've seen the look in these guys' eyes. Something happens once they catch that first muskie. Something snaps, and let me tell you, it isn't their fishing Big Weekend for C.T.C Pee Wees by John Hand The Canadian Tire major peewee 'AA' Toros had a big weekend, winning their first two league games of the year. Their fist game was on Friday, Friday, October 4, in Stouffville, where the Toros came away with à 4-1 win. The Toros opened the scoring at 8:35 of the first period on an unassisted unassisted goal by Paul Lavalee. Stouffville equalized just before before the end of the period, but the Toros came out strong in the second period, regaining the lead after just 36 seconds on Lavalee's second goal assisted assisted by Derek Lange. The period period ended without further scoring, although both teams had a number of scoring opportunities, opportunities, but Jeff Parry played a strong game in net for the Toros. Toros. The score remained the same until, with just over five minutes left in the game, Kevin Pickell took a slapshot from the pint and blasted the puck past the Stouffville goalkeeper. The assist on the play went to Ryan Latimer. Just three minutes minutes later, Eric Zuvic made it 4-1, with assists going to Lav- alec and Pickell. Steve Brink- man and Jason Bray played strong games on defence. Game two saw the Canadian Canadian Tire team play host to Pickering Pickering on Saturday, October 5. A week earlier, the Toros had come away with a 7-1 win against the same team in exhibition exhibition play and they repeated the feat with the same 7-1 score. The game was almost a carbon carbon copy of the week before, with the Toros opening the scoring in the first period only to have Pickering tie it up just before the buzzer. Derek Arnold Arnold scored for the home team on a power play after a fine : play by Matt Brake set him up. In the second period, Nick Hand restored the Toros' lead on an unassisted goal and Matt Staley added an insurance goal before the period ended bn an assist by Greg McMurter. Mark Murphy, in goal for the Toros, did not have too much to do in the third period as the Toros completely overwhelmed overwhelmed Pickering, scoring four more times. Goals in the period went to Lavalee with two, Jason Maclean, Ryan Latimer, Latimer, Ryan Dunnigan and Matt Brake. line cither. You can find my brother any night between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. out on Rice Lake tossing parts of a Louisville Louisville Slugger into the waters of Rice Lake. Last week, I was asked to help film a muskie show that will be aired in Japan. I joined Rocky Crawford and Big Jim McLaughlin at Birch Point Lodge in Haliburton. We were to meet 11 people flying in from Japan. They arrived on time and, after a quick introduction introduction and lunch, we were off muskie fishing at a nearby lake. We caught two muskics that afternoon and had maybe six others follow-up to the side of the boat. Well, I won't bore you with all the action. But, we did end up landing seven mus- kies altogether. One of the biggest was over 20 pounds. You're going to have to go a long way to find a more polite polite or courteous people than the Japanese. Well, we traded gifts and fishing stories. Mainly Mainly about the Canadian Pro Bass Tour and the Japanese Pro Bass Tour, which is now sweeping Japan by storm. We Canucks arc looking forward to one day fishing in our first Japanese Pro Bass Event. We were told that the bass in Japan weigh over six pounds on average. average. OK, lets get down to the tips of the week. Speaking with Rocky and Big Jim, we all agreed that the biggest misconception misconception most muskie fishermen have is this notion that you have to troll for hours to catch muskie.' It's simply not true. Thai's not to say you can't or won't catch muskie this way, but if you want to increase the numbers you catch; spend your time tossing around big jerk baits or big bucktail spinner baits. Look for steep banks, drop offs adjacent to weedy flats or, in late fall, go to the deepest spots in the middle of the lake. By the time our three days were up, our friends from Japan Japan had that look in their eyes and they were chanting with every cast, 'Muskiecc, Mus- kieee.' They were hooked. Well, when I got home, one of my wife's first comments after looking me in the eyes was: "Are you feeling all right, honey? You kinda look different. Your eyes look funny." funny." Oh, no!
