Peterborough Curling Club - Proud Members and Supporters of the Canadian & Ontario Curling Association ON THE ICE By The Numbers—Continued from page one Brief comments - In the past, there was a fair bit of discussion regarding humidity lev- els and dehumidifiers(3) inside the rink. We are pleased to report and the numbers sup- port this fact, “ our dehumidifiers and heaters are working well”. The large, Cimco dehumidifier has been shutdown from just after install and we doubt that we will require it until spring. The two decadent Munster 300 HC dehumidifiers are cycling on and off at the desired humidity level. The gas fired (4) heaters are working well after a few blade adjustments. This point brings me to a last comment, please feel free to tell me or anyone of our ice team about our rocks and ice at anytime, it really helps us deliver the best possible ice conditions. All of the dehumidifiers units require monthly maintenance, which we execute during our monthly ice maintenance routines. “Chick”, scrubbing house brooms Freda, her first rock of the season! Thank you again!!!..to our many volunteers that helped at the start of the year! It’s really made a difference! 2 ON THE ICE The Pink Hat I have been asked a few times by members “Why the pink cowboy hat?” in the Ice. My response, it’s in honour of Clarence W. "Shorty" Jenkins (1935 – 11 April 2013) who was a friend and was a world famous ice technician in the sport of curling. He was known for his "trademark" pink cowboy hat, pink leath- er jacket and pink cowboy boots. I worked closely with “Shorty” at the World Curling Championship in Hamilton in 1996. It was my responsibility and pleasure as the Director of Ice and Rocks to recommend to the WCF and CCA, a Head Ice Technician. My list of recom- mendations for the job was short (no pun intended)….yes, the guy that wore all the pink stuff! As Ice Director my direct report for the World Curling champion- ship was an elderly gentleman from Scotland, who at the time was a World Curling Federation director, Mr. Sinclair. He was a straight forward no non- sense type of Scot. My main task which was put so eloquently by the Scot,....“keep him in line”! Shorty’s reputation preceded him and for those who knew him, that was a near impossible task. A little Wikipedia info on Shorty. He was born in Hanna, Alberta and raised in an orphanage in Victoria, British Columbia, Jenkins served in the Royal Canadian Air Force from the age of 17. He would be posted in Germany and in Canada to do various military jobs. He eventually left the military to work with Sunoco. That didn't last and Jenkins convinced the curling club in Trenton, Ontario to take him on as ice maker. He wanted to be an ice maker after noting how terrible the ice was at the 1974 provincial championships he was competing in. One trend Shorty started in curling was that of timing rocks. He used his idea to judge how good the ice was. Jenkins claimed he was the only person who could "choose and match rocks for major championships". He refused to do the ice of a tournament without choosing the rocks for it. This was a huge stumbling block for the WCF and CCA. Our committee won out in the end, due mainly to the fact that our group of volunteers went to thirty some clubs in Ontario and precisely measured rocks during the two summers leading up to the championship. Shorty was out spoken to say the least. We showed up with six sets of rocks, “to test” the curl on Shorty’s Copps Coliseum ice. Our ice committee didn’t want a repeat of the 91 brier. The CCA had the preferred Manitoba Curling Association rocks, this set of rocks were used in the Hamil- ton Brier and Canadian curling championships for years. The final score of the 91 championship game was two to one after ten ends. These rocks curled about foot, at the most! Curling fans in the stands were notably upset during that final game, and who could blame them, it was, hit, after hit, after hit! It was boring as hell. Back to the selection of the rocks, Shorty had his own set of rocks to test, they were fast and curled six feet…”too much curl” said my Scottish friend. We settled on rocks from two local clubs(Shorty secretly worked his magic on those rocks too). They curled four feet and were fast. The curlers were happy, the fans were happy and so was the WCF and CCA…”a first”! I personally think this was a turning point for World and Canadian curling. Who knew the sport could be so successful with games that the rocks actu- ally curled! Shorty was a pioneer, his inner circle of ice technicians that he mentored here in Ontario, and for that matter throughout Canada and the World. These Ice Technician, are now the individuals making ice for all major championships in the world of curling, including the Olympics. The symbol of the hat reflects our deep respect for Shorty, he helped changed the ice makers game to ice surfaces that were a thing of art. He advanced the sport in so many ways. Notably temperature of water and the quality of the water used in flooding and pebbling. Air flow in the large arenas, humidity factors, the introduction of the nipper to curling, scraping patterns and a host of other technolo- gies.. Shorty’s desire to make the best possible ice conditions to show off world class curlers talent, was his passion. I am often asked what is the biggest change in the game? My answer is simple, ice and rocks. In large part due to Shorty Jenkins. There are lots of great “Shorty” stories out there, please share with me if you have one or two. I have a smile on my face every time I broom over that Pink Hat in the ice! For the folks that were around in 1986 - The Ontario Curling Champion- ship, “Peterborough Nokia Cup”, Shorty was the Head Ice Technician at that championship. He also was involved here at the club putting summer ice in back a few years ago. ON THE ICE A Very Dirty Gripper ! This is the inside of a fairly new gripper. It’s important to clean the inside too. Just a little dish soap, warm water, a scrub brush and a bit of elbow grease will get it like new! The before and after pictures of the ladder ice door....can you see the difference!

Notably, Marcoux was without his brother and regular guide, Billy Joe, who was suffering from a back injury and unable to compete. Team Canada guide, Robin Fémy, stepped-in and led Marcoux to his podium victories. “Congratulations to our Ontario athletes and the entire Canadian Paralympic Team on their remarkable performances and podium finishes at the Paralympic Winter Games,” said Debbie Low, CEO of Canadian Sport Institute Ontario. “Your determination and dedication allowed Canada to achieve its goal of finishing Top 3 among nations in the gold medal count, and inspired athletes of all ages and ability across Ontario and the country.” Ontario’s Paralympic Medallists: • Para-Alpine Skier Mac Marcoux (Sault Ste.

  • Jim Armstrong June 30, 1950
    CAMBRIDGE SPORTS HALL OF FAME Jim Armstrong June 30, 1950 - Victoria B.C. native James P. Armstrong was a highly-regarded and successful able-bodied curler for much of his career until a car acci- dent and bad knees forced him to quit. The accident, in 2003, literally changed the game for Armstrong. He'd already had 18 knee operations — usually after curling season ended, so it wouldn't interfere with his playing — and fresh from a knee replacement when the accident occurred. The accident ended his curling career and his practice of dentistry. Armstrong, who grew up in Victoria, was introduced to the sport at the Victoria Curling Club as an eight-year-old. "Curling wasn't the big sport there back then," he said. "Hockey was. So playing it was kind of flying in the face of what was popular." His father, an avid curler, had grown up in Rosetown, Saskatchewan, and there, had developed a love for the game. Although young Jim played other sports — baseball and football, among others — he always gravitated back to curling. He loved the game and showed early promise. By the time he was 22, he had qualified for his first MacDonald Brier. Playing second for the Jack Tucker rink from BC, they finished 5–5 at that 1973 Brier. The next year Armstrong skipped B.C. to a third-place Brier finish. After completing his undergraduate degree from the University of Victoria, in 1975 he graduated from dental school at UBC, and set up practice in Vancouver. "I had every intention of going back to Victoria," he said in 2016, "but I still haven't made it back." Dentistry allowed him to set his own schedule, often around curling, which was "one of the joys of dentistry," he says.
