Pivotal Goal Leads Clarke To Win Over St. Stephen's by Brad Kelly Often in hockey, at some critical juncture during a game, the outcome is decided. Such was the case in the latest battle between bitter high school rivals, rivals, Clarke and St. Stephen's. Henry Kaldeway's second goal of the game for Clarke, only seven seconds into the third period, sparked his team to a decisive 4-1 win. With Clarke clinging to a 1-0 lead after two periods, Kaldeway took the faceoff for the third period, split the St. Stephen's defence, and put a nifty deke on goaltender John Marco Cannito. If there was any air of optimism in the balloons of St. Stephen's about outscoring Clarke in the third period, it was all let out by the goal. "After that goal, it clinched (a win) for us," said Clarke coach Winston Prince, who attributed his team's strong play in the final period period to Kaldeway's goal. Understandably, on the other side of the dressing room hallway, St. Stephen's had their own interpretation interpretation of how the goal changed the game. "That didn't help our cause," remarked remarked St. Stephen's coach, Father Bill Moloney. St. Stephen's did mount a temporary temporary comeback later in the final period. period. Chris Steele's goal after a solo rush cut Clarke's lead in half at 2-1. But Ryan Dunnigan cashed in on a rebound with three minutes to go, and Brandon Ovenden's goal into the empty net with three seconds left secured the win. The victory improved Clarke's record on the year to 4-3, while St. Stephen's fell to 4-2-1. Clarke has now beaten St. Stephen's, the defending defending league champions, twice. Though only in his first year as coach of Clarke, Prince admitted that he does notice a difference in the mood of his players prior to a game with St. Stephen's. "After that goal, it clinched (a win) for us," said coach Winston Prince An interesting column by Bob Elliott Elliott of lire Toronto Sun newspaper stirred up some old memories. Elliott was relating the difficulties difficulties he encounters on a daily basis dealing with professional athletes. The most common problem, he wrote, was athletes who scoffed at the media by pointing out that reporters reporters can't write about what goes on during a game because they never never played professional sports. To which Elliott often replies that he has never died yet cither, but he can write an obituary. The story reminded me of a similar similar statement once made by Howard Cosell during his tenure as the top broadcaster for ABC sports. He often criticized sports programs programs for hiring ex-players to work in the broadcast booth, especially as play-by-play announcers. Coscll was of the opinion that those jobs should be granted to students students who had studied and graduated graduated from a respected broadcasting course at the university or college level. Those students were the ones qualified and trained in the proper manner to host a sports broadcast. He used to use the following analogy to prove his point: If you were to have a heart attack, would you prefer the person looking after you to be someone who had also had a heart attack, or a doctor who was qualified, and knew what to do? Identity Crisis An interesting conversation developed developed while out and about over the weekend. During a conversation about the Bowmanvillc Eagles, someone who should have known belter made the comment that most people in the area had no idea that a team existed. The conclusion was that many of the residents in the area only knew of the Eagles as a rock band. I'd bet that those same people think the Toros arc that company who make snowblowers and lawnmowers, while Clarington was the name of that clown on the television show Howdy Doodie. Seen and Heard Eagles manager Mike Laing insists insists that cx-Oshawa General Jason McQuat will return to Bowmanvillc before season's end. After only one regular season game in a Bowmanvillc uniform, McQuat was signed by Wichita of the Central league after impressing at training camp there. In the seven games he has played, McQuat has yet to register a point, but has 45 minutes in penalties. ...With the Baltimore CFL'crs in the Grey Cup, it gets one to wondering. wondering. Should they win, will there be as big a party in Baltimore, or for that matter across the United Slates, as there was when the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Scries? ...A recent article in a gardening publication outlined the level to which growing giant pumpkins has caught on. Some of the giants can grow as large as 850 pounds. And, it was noted, that some can grow as much as 25 pounds in a single day. The person who made that discovery discovery was likely the same one who invented the sports of watching grass grow and paint dry. Election Wrap-up One final thought on this year's municipal election. We dug into the archives last week, trying to find out who the candidates were for the mayoralty race in 1988. After some research, our suspicions proved correct when JfariejL A by Brad Kelly \ ■ M we learned that Marie Hubbard, Hal McKnight, and Ann Cowman were the candidates. Marie Hubbard won the race quite easily. But the most interesting part came in the stories, where quotes were issued by Marie Hubbard regarding regarding her victory, and Hal McKnight, who offered his thoughts on how the race unfolded. Ann Cowman was unable to be reached for comment. In the election of 1991,1 related the story in last week's column of what transpired, specifically at the headquarters of Ann Cowman. Initially Initially she refused to make a comment, comment, and while the phone was ringing ringing with reporters from oilier newspapers seeking a statement, she didn't accept their calls. A trend continued to develop this year. On the afternoon of the election, one of our reporters was able to track down Ms. Cowman, attempting attempting to find out where she would be on election eve. Our reporter was told by Ms. Cowman that she had no idea where she was going to be during the evening. evening. When the election was over, Ms. Cowman chose not to make a statement to the media. Apparently there was a very brief sighting of her at the municipal building on election night before a quick exit was made. The sighting was as rare as the ones for Elvis.

Early in the third, Daryl Adams ticc. St. Stephen's also puts a little more emphasis on their games with Clarke, mainly because of the proximity proximity of the two schools. "It's always a physical game between between the two schools," acknowledged acknowledged coach Moloney. "A lot of the guys know each other, and play with each other on different teams, so they give their all when they play against each other. But when the game's over, they leave their hostilities on the ice." St. Stephen's were without the services of a couple of key members of their team. Captain Chad Vandc- rende was deleted from the lineup with a case of strep throat, while forward Ryan Foster has been lost for the rest of the season.
