Never have so many people grown so many ulcers in such a short time. The ulcers came about as a direct result of last Saturday's preliminary round of the Great Scugog Monopoly Championship, a tension-packed bout of pain and pleasure jam-packed with the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Twenty-five people of all ages and occupations filled Town Hall 1873 Saturday afternoon to square off in the competition of the decade. As real estate was swept up, houses were constructed and money chang- ed hands, the clock ticked swiftly by, bringing the preliminary round to a screeching halt after 90 minutes of wheeling and dealing. Ninety minutes is the official length of Monopoly tournaments as set out by Parker Brothers tourna- ment rules. For some players, it wasn't enough time to build their assets; for others, 90 minutes was .more than enough time to swallow their pride and degenerate into bankruptcy. The tournament consisted of five tables, with five players per table and a bank teller at each (the bankers were all employees of the Royal Bank). Oshawa radio an- nouncer Gerry Brett of Blackstock emceed the event, deftly calling out winners and those who succombed to bankruptcy. Port Perry dentist Jack Cottrell was the first to go bankrupt, after landing on fellow player Doug Olliffe's property. Sheepishly, he handed over Boardwalk and Park Place to a grinning Doug, before be- . ing shepherded out of the game by Sergeant George Scott of Durham Regional Police. Sgt. Scott, along with PC Bill Prentice and Deputy Chief Edwards escorted the valuable Monopoly games (which were supplied gratis by Parker Brothers) to the Town Hall, just in case bandits tried to snafu the Monopoly millions. Nobody did, thanks to the police escort. However, several players manag- ed to snafu millions legally, on the board, and went on to win a place in the finals, to be held this Saturday, November 8th at Emiel's Place. The action starts at high noon. Christopher Espey, who wound up with the most assets of any other player in the tournament ($9,334) easily won at his table, beating out Uxbridge Times Journal publisher Harry Stemp, bartender Garth Kuyt, Port Perry High School stu- dent council president Kristy Ar- mour and fellow student Margaret Rowland. Both Kristy and Margaret fell to bankruptcy at Christopher's merciless hands. Catherine Wright was banker. , Doug Olliffe came up with the se- cond highest assets ($8,376) after plunging Dr. Cottrell and young Grant Schofield into bankruptcy. He also handily beat Bill Brock cf GUARANTEED INVESTMENT Annual Rates Monopoly maniacs! Brock's Department Store and Michael Young of Caesarea. Betty Bouillon kept everyone straight as banker. Adam Danter kept everyone at his table on their toes by collecting $6,929 in assets and winning a place in the finals. Adam cleaned up against MPP Sam Cureatz, Star publisher Peter Hvidsten, Cart- wright High School president Joy Werry and David Bryars of Port Perry. Both Joy and David went bankrupt in the process. Lorraine Shoemaker played banker. Possibly the most exciting table was won by Regional Chairman Gary Herrema. Wearing a unique gambler's outfit and smoking thin stogies (he doesn't normally smoke), he squeaked out a victory with $5,340, bankrupting Harry Tripp of Port Perry in the process. Angie Kroonenberg of Port Perry came a close second, with young Mark Broadworth and older Mike Norman falling in behind. Linda Young hagher hands full as banker. At Bob Espey's table, everyone held their cards closely to their chests, steadfastly refusing to take chances. As a result, no one went bankrupt but Bob wound up winning with $4,359. Because his son Christopher also won at his own ~ table, Bob passed the winning posi- tion down to second place finisher Drew Cardinal, who will compete next Saturday in the finals. Also at the table were Mayor Jerry Taylor, student Sandra Kerry and wrist wrestler Todd Steele. Diane Cole was banker. At the end of the round, an extra Mohopoly game was auctioned off " for a hundred real dollars to Star publisher Peter Hvidsten, who pro- mptly gave the game to Harry Stemp of the Uxbridge Times- Journal. "Harry needs the practise!" Peter quipped. The hundred dollars, as well as other proceeds raised by the tourna- ment, will be handed over to the Scugog Christmas Hamper drive. All in all, it was an afternoon none of the players. or spectators will forget. Already, plans are in the making for next year and discus- sions are taking place for organiz- ing a Durham Region tournament for sometime in the New Year. But in the meantime, everything is riding on next Saturday when Christopher Espey, Doug Olliffe, Gary Herrema, Adam Danter and Drew Cardinal will square off to see who is the champion Monopoly player in Scugog. The winner will take home a hun- dred dollars cold, hard cash as well as a trophy. Again, the action takes place at high noon on November 8th in the - back room of Emiel"s Place Restaurant on Queen Street. Spec- tators are welcome.
