And the event got a big boost last week from Canada's premier curler Ed Werenich. Werenich, the reigning On- tario, Canadian and World Champion, presented local or- ganizers with $500 in a ceremo- ny at R.H. Cornish School last Thursday. That money was left over from last year's School champi- onship eventin Newmarket. Reg Philip, who is working to stage the championship here this year, said the donation was greatly appreciated, as was the presence of Werenich. He's just back from a couple of weeks curling in Switzerland, and he's getting ready for the defense of his titles this spring. After turning over the cheque for $500, local junior curlers presented him with e bright red sweat shirt that com- memorates the up-coming championship. Werenich didn't come alone be held here to Port Perry last Thursday. With him was 12-year old son Ryan, who appears to be taking after his famous curling father. Though only 12, Ryan has been curling for five years. And two years ago, he won the Ontario Elementary School championship in Parry Sound. Last year, he skipped his rink to the silver medals in Newmar- ket. And yes, Ryan will be icing a rink for the championships in Port Perry later next month. "He (Ryan) has been watch- ing my videos," quipped his fa- ther. Mr. Philip said plans to host the third annual Elemen- tary School championships are progressing. He expects there will be 32 teams taking part, including entries from Cornish and Caw- ker Schools here. Action will take place at both the Port Perry and Ux- bridge Clubs. And the publicis more than welcome to take in the games at both rinks to see some of the best young curlers in Ontario.

Daryl M. made some fancy moves behind the net and then put it out in front to Kevin C. who fired it home. Port Elgin closed the gap to 1. Casey V. and Dillan W. were both taking shots but Dillan's put the good guys ahead 4-2. Port Elgin notched one more to end the first period 4-3.
