by Danny Millar By the time the dust had settled at the waterfront ball park in Port Perry Thursday night, Albuk Construction of Whitby had unloaded for 11 runs against the Port Perry juveniles Mother's Pizza team, who could manage just two points. The big inning for the visitors was the third when they knocked Port starting righthander Ian Hartung off the mound and proceeded to hit replacement Kevin Walker hard as well. They counted eight runs in that period. Hartung was never really effective on the rubber for Port, he allowed two runs in the second, and failed to help himself when he misplayéd a ball hit right back to the box, which led to a run by Eli Hoghkinson. The loss cannot entirely be pinned on Hartung. The Port defence was very rockey, committing ten errors, including five in the fateful third inning. Also, Hartung was making his first appear- ance in over two weeks. Garry -Armstrong led off the Whitby third with a walk, prompting catcher Mike Doupe to make his second trip to the mound to chat with Hartung. When Joe Greentree immediately followed with another walk, the beleagured starter got another unwanted visit, this time from Doupe and assis- tant coach Ron Redman. But Hartung remained long enough to serve up a run scoring single and a two RBI double by Hoghkinson. Coach Bob Knapp came from the bench and took Hartung back with him. Knapp's ace Kevin Walker, another righty, came on with a runner on second and one out. The new hurler was greeted with a single to field by Jerry Gibson.

A few more runs came in to score when Walter Hall laid down a bunt that Walker fielded. Walker threw underhand to first and the ball eluded Mike Healey. Then when Hall tried to steal second Doupe's throw went into centerfield. - Port Perry got a run back two innings later when George Burnett got on base with a fielder's choice which retired Dave Dickson at second. He counted when shortstop Glen Kirkham booted Mike Healey's grounder. Late in the contest when the outcome was never in doubt, the Port Perry athletes showed contrasting attitudes. In the fifth Greg Fedyk showed some fantas- tic hustle when he beat out an infield ground ball for a base hit. Moments later he stole second with a 'Pete Rose' head first dive. On the other hand, when a Whitby runner attempted to steal second Doupe threw the ball down but no one was covering the bag. He res- ponded in disgust by firing his mask. into the bleachers near his bench. Dave Dickson scored the home team's last run in the bottom of the sixth. Obvious- ly it was not enough. Winning pitcher Doug Spencer struck out eight hitters and Walker got seven opponents to go down on strikes. Was the game as bad as it looked for Port Perry? Coach Bob Knapp thought so. "It was worse than it looked," he smiled, "It's just one of those games. We're a better ball club than that. We'll be back." On Monday, June 11, Port Perry defeated Bank of Nova Scotia of Oshawa 6-4 for their. , third come-from-behind win. The game was held at Alexandria Park. Oshawa opened a four run lead, thanks mainly to pitcher Paul McCrimon's two run homer to deep center field in the third. He scored 'Piontek before him and there was one out at the time. Port Perry's comeback started with two runs in their half of the fifth. They continued with four runs in the sixth and in the process chased McCrimon off the rubber in favour of Jerry, Bourgdash. The big blow of the inning for Port was Mark Jeffrey's two RBI singles to center field. Kevin Walker was the pitcher of record for the winners. He fanned 12 Oshawa batters. His own teammates struck out 11 times as well as contributing five hits and four errors. Will be missed by students HAVE YOUR ZIEBART DONE LOCALLY FOR CONVENIENT CHECKUPS!

During this time, six regular season games have been played. On May 28, we saw the Warriors defeat the Bull- dogs 4-3, and Brians demo- lish the Packers 7-2. The Bulldogs took a quick 2-0 lead on goals by Rob Kroonenberg and Jay Neill. The Warriors came right back and blasted four behind the Dog's goalie Doug Culbert. Kev Martens and Clark Menzies did the damage with two goals each. Jay Neill rounded out the scoring in the final frame. Jim Bathe and Clarence Kuiken, each had a pair of goals to lead the Brians attack. Tom Bathe, Pat O'Neill and Pete Nagy collected one each. Bruce Woodrow and Aldon Smith replied for the Packers. On June 4th, the best game of the league's short three year history came between the Warriors and the Flames. The action was up and down all night long with very few stopages in play. The final score was 4-4. Phil Cochrane had a pair for the Warriors. Mike McQuade and Brad Nicholson had one each. Scoring for the Flames were Tim Bower, Ken Jeffrey, Dale McQuade, and Dean Abraham. The Flames goalie Warren Nicholishen and the Warriors goalie Ray Gibson both made dazzling saves all night, The second game saw the Bulldogs nip the Packers 3-2. Kroonenberg scored a pair for the Dogs. Paul Beare notched the other. Scoring for the Packérs were Mike Mitchell and Ken Fraser. Doug Culbert made several key stops for the Dogs to preserve the win. On June 11th the Bulldogs came up with their best (Turn to Page 21) Arend Dekker leaving Port Perry High School by Danny Millar _ "I consider myself an edu- cator first and foremost." And one Port Perry High School's most popular edu- cators is leaving after 14 years of coaching, guidance, . and teaching. Arend Dekker came to Port High in 1965 and in the following years the educator has brought home five Association bask- etball championships and three more regional titles in volleyball. = Mr. Dekker will become head of the guidance depart- ment at Brock High School near his home in Cannington. He answered the obvious question of why he is leaving. "It's part of my evolutionary development in education, if Ziebart Genuine Ziebart Process Manchester LI NVI JQ OF: To 1 e Service Dept. you will. I want more challenges. I realized a while ago that there is more to education than teaching a phys. ed. class or coaching a team." Respect Basketball has always been the man's first love and in the past two seasons has won two Central Ontario championships, this year los- ing in the Regionals in an overtime heartbreaker. He is one of the most respected coaches in high school sports in the area and was labelled by Gord Simmonds, one of the two five-year players on, this year's senior club as *'a fantastic coach," adding that "no one in the area knows the game better." There is no coaches, and probably no' teachers, at Port Perry right now who has the rapport with his charges. Respect plays a big part of it the coach believes. "I respect them and I practice what I preach when it comes to the demands I make," said Mr. Dekker. The basketball program currently is in a state of confusion at Port High. Coach Paul Arculus who aid- ed the senior team this year had indicated that he has no interest of taking over the reigns for another season. Both he and Mr. Dekker have suggested that Mr. John Rodway, who coached the midgets this year, may handle the defending champ- ions. But at last check Mr. Rodway was quite happy with the youngest players. Supposing he does take the seniors, who takes his mid- gets, and what about the juniors whom Mr. Dekker also coached? And besides, the present seniors may not be able to win under another skipper. . Mr. Dekker disagrees. "I believe there is enough character there, and talent, that those people should be able to play for anyone. No one is indispensible." According to Simmonds the coach's teaching ability far transcends what is seen on the court. "He's taught us . a lot about life. He's taught us how to get along with other teammates especial- ly," he says. This fact has never been more valuable this past sea- son as the players had to adjust to a brash, competi- tive player from North Caro- lina in the person of Mike Patton. Early in the season Patton alienated himself from his peers with some abrasive comments off the court and his often disre- spectful treatment at times of the officials. But later in the year the team forgot their differences and gelled as a unit. The educator calls his dut- ies of guidance counsellor a '"'natural outgrowth from coaching," adding "I find a great deal of satisfaction in LAR VET To ll EE: TI TRS IoT 1 LY; that." But what about bask- etball? "I don't intend to give up coaching, however, I'll probably be coaching a basketball team forever, no matter what." There is nq question that basketball has an ironclawed grip on the man's life. He explains; "I think the reason 1 enjoy the coaching in bask- etball the most is that the coach can get right in the game." He believes this is not the case in his other sports such as golf, track and field, and volleyball where 'the coach's decisions on strategy are greatly reduc- ed. He finds coaching one of the most exciting aspects in life. "I know what makes Dekker tick. I need to be near excitement," is the way he puts it. . When the young teacher came to Port Perry in "65 the principal was a man named Grant C MacDonald and the influence he had on the rook- ie's future was strickly posi- tive, which has made the two men great friends.
